28. Green Bay Packers - Andre Branch, OLB, Clemson
It’s not any revelation that Green Bay needs to boost their pass rush. In 2010, the Pack finished second in sacks, but they finished 27th last season. Most Packer fans blame DE Cullen Jenkins’ departure for the significant drop, but the Packers have nobody opposite of OLB Clay Matthews, either.

Branch is an explosive long-armed pass rusher in the mold of San Francisco OLB Aldon Smith. He’s an ideal 3-4 OLB and could be a 10-plus sack player in that system. Like Smith, his run defense needs developing, so he may only be a situational pass rusher early in his career.

I'm very, very high on Branch. I think he's the best pass rusher in terms of his ability. He also looks the part. He'd be a welcome addition, in my opinion.

Feel free to comment on any of the selections.

Look at Pittsburgh's OLB, they are over 270 and don't get eaten up in the running game. But then Pittsburgh usually gets lit up by good quarterbacks.

Lewis shows terrific burst off the edge, which has many 3-4 teams coveting him. In college, he showed a knack for making big plays. He plays the game hard, so expect to hear about his motor. Coaches rave about his character, despite his production being somewhat limited.

54. Shea McClellin, OLB, Boise State
McClellin is a better athlete than he gets credit for being and he put up good production at Boise State. He consistently finishes plays, so expect to hear about his never-ending motor. There are questions about his ability against the run. He over pursues at times, but the tools are there for him to rush the QB. He’s an ideal 3-4 OLB.
