Lots of values in the NFL Draft in the beginning of the second day, let’s take a closer look at some of the players who should outperform some of the first day picks:

Charles Godfrey, CB, Carolina - He’ll be better than Terrence Wheatley, Patrick Lee, or Terrell Thomas. He can also be worked in slowly, as a dime back at first, because Carolina has three good corners in Marshall, Gamble, and Lucas.

Earl Bennett, WR, Chicago - Instantly the most dependable WR on the Bears roster under 30. Bennett will make the tough catches over the middle and snare errant passes from Grossman or Orton or Jim McMahon coming out of retirement.

Tavares Gooden, LB, Baltimore - Ray Lewis gets to mentor the best young LB from the U in the draft this year. Isn’t that special?

Chris Ellis, DE, Buffalo - He was announced as an LB, but he’ll help be helping Ryan Denney and Chris Kelsay stay healthy.

Reggie Smith, DB, San Francisco - While Michael Lewis headhunts, Reggie Smith can cover the deep middle, and he can be a nickel/dime back right away.

Pat Sims, DT, Cincinnati - Here’s your consolation prize for missing out on Sedrick Ellis, Bengal fans. Sims is a little soft around the middle, but he can be a space eater and let those athletic LBs do some damage.
