On the Beat: Experts' mock draft, picks Nos. 25-32

NFL.com gathered writers and broadcasters from around the country to play GM for the teams they cover on a daily basis.

25. MIAMI DOLPHINS

[internal-link-placeholder-0]Team needs: Wide receiver, defensive line, linebacker, cornerback, offensive line (For more: AFC East team needs)

On the beat: Jeff Darlington, Miami Herald

Analysis: "The one thing you get with (him) is obviously just brilliant hands, this guy does not miss. He's got the size to become that prototypical wide receiver."


26. BALTIMORE RAVENS

[internal-link-placeholder-0]Team needs: Wide receiver, linebacker, defensive line, safety, cornerback (For more: AFC North team needs)

On the beat: Mike Duffy, BaltimoreRavens.com

Analysis: "The Ravens never really had that home run hitting threat ... adding (this guy) would really add another dimension to this offense."


27. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

[internal-link-placeholder-0]Team needs: Defensive line, wide receiver, linebacker, running back (For more: AFC South team needs)

On the beat: Michael Lombardi, NFL Network

Analysis: "Let's face it, everything that starts with the Colts is their offense. Peyton Manning needs a receiver to replace Marvin Harrison, somebody who can make plays on the outside."


28. BUFFALO BILLS

[internal-link-placeholder-0]Team needs: Offensive line, defensive line, tight end, linebacker, running back, wide receiver (For more: AFC East team needs)

On the beat: Chris Brown, Buffalobills.com

Analysis: "The Bills interviewed him at the combine ... (he's) been quoted as saying he was very excited coming out of that meeting, so apparently he feels he'd be a good fit for the Bills."


29. NEW YORK GIANTS

[internal-link-placeholder-0]Team needs: Wide receiver, linebacker, tight end, offensive line, quarterback, running back (For more: NFC East team needs)

On the beat: Mike Garafolo, Newark Star-Ledger

Analysis: "This is the perfect time to take (this guy), it's good value ... he's a fundamentally sound guy, you know you're going to get a good football player, a guy who likes to play the game."


30. TENNESSEE TITANS

[internal-link-placeholder-0]Team needs: Defensive line, wide receiver, cornerback, quarterback (For more: AFC South team needs)

On the beat: Vic Carucci, NFL.com

Analysis: "(He) offers a combination of excellent speed, the No. 1 priority quality at that position, really good ball instincts, and the mentality to make big plays, something a lot of college players don't have once they get to the NFL."


31. ARIZONA CARDINALS

[internal-link-placeholder-0]Team needs: Linebacker, running back, defensive line, offensive line (For more: NFC West team needs)

On the beat: Ron Wolfley, Cardinals radio network

Analysis: "The great thing about (him), is that he'll grab you by the face mask and rip it right off. Now that's a Ken Whisenhunt guy, and that's who the Cardinals need."


32. PITTSBURGH STEELERS

[internal-link-placeholder-0]Team needs: Defensive line, safety, tight end, offensive line, cornerback (For more: AFC North team needs)

On the beat: Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Analysis: "(He's) a very good two-gap player, he's a perfect fit for the defensive end in a 3-4 ... he's very good at taking on the block, reading the play, and making the tackle."
