New England @ 171: Clint Oldenburg, OT from Colorado State.

San Diego up for 172: Legedu Naanee, WR Boise State.

The only other Hokies who have a decent chance of getting drafted are DE Noland Burchette and Long Snapper Nick Leeson. Scouts Inc. says Burchette should go in the 4th-5th round (so hopefully he'll go fairly soon), and Leeson will go in the 6th-7th if at all.

Colts again @ 173: Michael Coe, CB Alabama State. Over 20 corners taken so far.

Troy Smith! At 174 for the Ravens! Wow! Okay! Terrific pick.

Round Six begins with Oakland @ 175: Oren O'Neal, FB from Arkansas State.

The Ravens were looking at grabbing Brady Quinn, so they are looking QB a bit. McNair can tutor Smith, who I think is better than Kyle Boller by a lot. They say Smith will be a career backup, but I think he can be a Jon Kitna-type in terms of how you view him on the depth chart as a 1 or 2.

Vikings select Rufus Alexander, the Oklahoma LB at 176. This guy is outstanding. He is constantly making plays. He reminds me a lot of Demeco Ryans, the former Alabama LB who had a great rookie year last season for Houston. Alexander could be that type of guy. He's a steal.

Tremendous draft for the Vikings:
Adrian Peterson
Sidney Rice
Marcus McCauley
Brian Robison
Rufus Alexander

Jets select Jacob Bender, OT from Nicholls State with 177.

178 is Dallas' pick. They go with Nick Folk, K from Arizona. Never heard of him. So why did they grab him? Mason Crosby is still out there.

Darius Walker, Crosby, and Ben Patrick still around.
