32.  Minnesota Vikings – Teddy Bridgewater, QB – Louisville:  Great value on this pick.  The Vikings needed a quarterback and to be able to get Bridgewater at the end of the first round is a great pick.   Grade:  A

31.  Denver Broncos –  Bradley Roby, CB – Ohio State:  The Broncos need more depth at cornerback, and this is a very good value pick for them.   Grade:  A  

30.  San Francisco 49ers – Jimmie Ward, S – Northern Illinois:  The 49ers got a very good safety in Jimmie Ward.  I don’t think it was the biggest need for them, but they got a good player none the less.  Grade:  B+

29. New England Patriots – Dominique Easley, DT – Florida:  The Patriots needed to add some depth at defensive tackle and Easley will help them.  However, he’s recovering from a torn ACL and that lowered his ranking.  Grade:  B
