The Baltimore Ravens are on the clock...

29. Baltimore Ravens (13-3): Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU
- Last season, Baltimore exceeded a lot of people's expectations by finishing 13-3 and blowing away the competition in the AFC North. Then the playoffs came, where the Ravens were a huge disappointment, blowing home-field advantage in a divisional-round loss to the Colts. The team was hamstrung in that game by its apparent lack of any offense whatsoever. The team has emerging star Mark Clayton at wide receiver, but Derrick Mason is aging quickly and Clarence Moore is likely to receive offers from other teams as a restricted free agent. Dwayne Bowe (right) would have an opportunity to compete with second-year man Demetrius Williams for a starting job in Baltimore once Mason left. Bowe's big frame makes him an ideal possession receiver to complement Clayton, and would be a great weapon for Steve McNair.

30. San Diego Chargers (14-2): Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee
- The absolute biggest disappointment of the 2006 season was San Diego's post-season performance. Following a 14-2 regular season, the Chargers had home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs and squandered it in a divisional-round loss to the Patriots. The loss led to the firing of Marty Schottenheimer, and the eventual hiring of Norv Turner as the team's head coach. Turner will likely look to revamp a passing attack that did not do much to take pressure off of league MVP LaDainian Tomlinson last season. Robert Meachem (left) gives the team a true #1 option at wide receiver, and his blazing speed complements the size and possession ability of youngster Vincent Jackson as well. This is an ideal fit for the Chargers, who could also target help at inside linebacker with this pick (David Harris of Michigan is a darkhorse pick here). Help is needed in the defensive backfield as well.

31. Chicago Bears (13-3): Greg Olsen, TE, Miami (FL)
- I'll just say this up front: I have the Bears taking Greg Olsen (right) because, by all accounts, Olsen is the top target of Lovie Smith and company. There is no way that the Bears take Olsen at pick 31, however - too many teams have a need at tight end that pick before Chicago, and Olsen's performance at the Scouting Combine was too stellar for him to fall this far. Olsen blazed a 4.51 40-yard dash, and his hands are as good as any wide receiver's. He is the ideal vertical threat at the tight end position and would team with Desmond Clark to give the Bears a very solid one-two punch at the position. In addition, Olsen has promise as a blocker and has room to add bulk to his spindly 254-pound frame. In the end, Olsen is the ideal pick for the Bears - he's a great dump-off option for Rex Grossman, has ability as a blocker and will provide a great red zone threat once Muhsin Muhammad hangs up his cleats.

32. Indianapolis Colts (12-4): Jon Beason, LB, Miami (FL)
- Defense is still the focus in Indianapolis, where a Super Bowl XLI Championship masked a historically bad defensive effort by Tony Dungy's '06 team. Linebacker is easily the biggest problem area at the moment, where Cato June has left for Tampa Bay and Rob Morris is on the wrong side of 30. Jon Beason (left) is exactly the type of athletic, attacking linebacker that thrives in the Cover-2 scheme, and if he survives this long in the first round he will become the newest member of the Colts' defense in a heartbeat. The team could also target running back to replace Dominic Rhodes, but with Joseph Addai on board can wait until a later round to do so.
