There were still a few recognizable names on the board in the fifth round, including D.J. Williams and Ricky Stanzi. Both went near the front of the draft as the few remaining big names were taken, leaving us with more under-the-radar type guys. Willliams, one of the better storylines in the draft, was taken with the 10th pick in the fifth round by the Green Bay Packers, a great landing spot with Aaron Rodgers under center.

The 2011 NFL Draft wrapped up its fifth round with picks 163-165:
163. San Francisco 49ers select OG Daniel Kilgore of Appalachian State. Kilgore doesn't have great size or elite athleticism, but he handled blockers well enough for the Mountaineers to be an FCS All-American. The 49ers traded up for Green Bay's pick to snag Kilgore, giving the Packers sixth and seventh round selections in return.
164. Baltimore Ravens select CB Chykie Brown of Texas. Brown was adequate as a second or third cornerback for the Longhorns, and adds yet more youth to the aging Ravens defense.
165. Baltimore Ravens select DE Pernell McPhee of Mississippi State. McPhee was an All-SEC performer and part of a ferocious Bulldogs defense.

The 2011 NFL draft continues in the fifth round. Here's a look at picks 158-162:
158. St. Louis Rams select DB Jermale Hines. Coming out of Ohio State, Hines stands 6'1" and weighs 219 pounds. I like some of these late round picks with guys from big schools who played top competition. You have a better idea of what you're getting.
159. New England Patriots select TE Lee Smith. Out of Marshall, Smith becomes the 12th tight end drafted by Bill Belichick, a position-high for the team. He's your future Alge Crumpler at 6'6" and 266 pounds.
160. Chicago Bears select QB Nathan Enderle. The Bears have their developmental QB. Enderle stands 6'4" and weighs 240 pounds. He'll need some time when he gets to the league so a team like Chicago, with a clear starter, is a good spot for him.
161. Philadelphia Eagles select G Julian Vandervelde. The Eagles got a well schooled offensive lineman. Iowa and head coach Kirk Ferentz is known for producing well coached offensive linemen so the Eagles got a solid player here.
162. Pittsburgh Steelers select OLB Chris Carter. Out of Fresno State, Carter had 10 sacks last season and will be able to learn behind some of the best linebackers in the NFL.

The 2011 NFL Draft is winding up its fifth round. Let's examine picks 153-157:
153. New York Jets select WR Jeremy Kerley of TCU. Kerley gives the Jets a special teams dynamo and a slot receiver who has impressive quickness and speed.
154. Seattle Seahawks select DB Richard Sherman of Stanford. Sherman brings enviable size for a corner to the Seahawks' defensive backfield. Seattle's draft strategy appears to be Pick Players People Will Have To Google.
155. Washington Redskins select WR Niles Paul of Nebraska. Paul is a strong wideout with some running back skills, and could be a very good possession receiver. He's also the third Cornhusker taken by Washington today, joining Roy Helu and Dejon Gomes.
156. Seattle Seahawks select S Mark LeGree of Appalachian State. LeGree is smallish for a safety, but makes up for it with excellent ball skills.
157. Detroit Lions select LB Douglas Hogue of Syracuse. Lions continue loading up on defenders with a productive Big East player.

The 2011 NFL draft continues in the fifth round. Here's a look at picks 148-152:
148. Oakland Raiders select WR Denarius Moore. Out of Tennessee, Moore stands 6'0" and weighs 194 pounds. He could be a return man option for the Raiders.
149. Philadelphia Eagles select RB Dion Lewis. He had nearly 1,800 rushing yards for Pittsburgh in 2009, which was the third most by a freshman in FBS history. He's highly productive and is small and quick at 5'7" and 193 pounds. The Eagles love play makers so this is no surprise.
150. Cleveland Browns select OL Jason Pinkston. That's two consecutive players selected out of Pittsburgh with RB Dion Lewis going at No. 149. Pinkston adds more depth to the Browns offensive line. Hard to complain about this pick.
151. Tampa Bay Buccaneers select SS Ahmad Black. Coming out of Florida, Black stands 5'10" and 184 pounds so he's not the biggest guy in the world but he was successful against the best competition in the SEC.
152. Houston Texans select QB T.J. Yates. Coming out of North Carolina, Yates was often pointed to as one of the possible sleepers in this draft. He's got great size at 6'3" and 219 pounds and will get some time to learn the NFL behind QB Matt Schaub.

As the 2011 NFL draft moves into the fifth round, let's examine picks 143-147:
143. Dallas Cowboys elect DB Josh Thomas of Buffalo. Waiting until the fifth round to draft secondary help may have been a mistake, but Thomas could be a solid nickel or dime corner.
144. Houston Texans select S Shiloh Keo of Idaho. Keo was the lone stud for Idaho, but also had an above-average combine. And he may have the most mellifluous name of the entire draft.
145. Atlanta Falcons select RB Jacquizz Rodgers of Oregon State. Rodgers has all sorts of speed and quickness, and could be a dynamic third-down back or pass-catcher out of the backfield. It's unclear whether the Falcons are aware they have a defense, though.
146. Washington Redskins select S Dejon Gomes of Nebraska. Gomes was part of a strong Nebraska secondary in 2010. May need some time to crack the Redskins' depth chart.
147. Jacksonville Jaguars select DB Rod Issac of Middle Tennessee State. Another team looks to rebuild a flammable secondary with a small-school performer.

The 2011 NFL draft continues into the fifth round. Here's a look at picks 138-142:
138. New England Patriots select OG Marcus Cannon. He wa sa three-time All-MWC selection out of TCU. His name was in the rumor mill before the draft as he was diagnosed with a treatable form of lymphoma. He is undergoing chemotherapy now.
139. Minnesota Vikings select CB Brandon Burton. In his career, he has 101 tackles, three interceptions and two blocked kicks. He hails from Utah.
140. Kansas City Chiefs select DE Gabe Miller. Out of Oregon State, Miller could transition to outside linebacker in the Chiefs 3-4 defense. The Chiefs are acquiring players to help their pass rush opposite Tamba Hali.
141. Green Bay Packers select TE D.J. Williams. Out of Arkansas, Williams stands 6'2" and weighs 245 pounds. He's not taking anyone's job in Green Bay but he will add some depth at tight end.
142.Tennessee Titans select DL Karl Klug. He's 6'3" and 275 pounds coming out of Iowa, a program known for producing solid defensive linemen.

As the 2011 NFL draft moves into the fifth round, let's examine picks 132-137:
132. Carolina Panthers select WR Kealoha Pilares of Hawaii. Pilares was the second option in the Hawaii offense behind Greg Salas, but was still productive as an undersized wideout.
133. Buffalo Bills select RB Johnny White of North Carolina. Buffalo's first offensive selection of the 2011 draft is a Tar Heel who turned into Carolina's go-to offensive option for a unit decimated by eligibility issues.
134. Cincinnati Bengals select S Robert Sands of West Virginia. Sands becomes the latest part of the Bengals' young and promising secondary.
135. Kansas City Chiefs select QB Ricky Stanzi of Iowa. Stanzi is a pro-style quarterback through and through, and fell as a prospect after a disappointing 2010 season. Could back up Matt Cassel for years.
136. Arizona Cardinals select RB Anthony Sherman of Connecticut. Sherman's a bit undersized for a fullback, but he helped Jordan Todman scamper through holes for the Huskies.
137. Cleveland Browns select CB Buster Skrine of Chattanooga. The Browns add a small-school star with track speed to a young team.
