after looking over the draft for where Manny Lawson might go... 3-4 teams include the jets (#4, #29), 49ers (#6), browns (#12), cowboys (#18), chargers (#19), patriots (#21), and steelers (#32).

-the browns really need front 7 players (OLB/MLB/DE each have an open spot, and 3 other spots (DE/NT/OLB) are being filled by guys over 33 right now) and would be the best fit (cause he's a tweener, and could end up playing DE, OLB, MLB, or pass rush specialist, and for the browns, it wouldn't matter what he turned out to be, cause they have holes at all those positions.)

He's not worth the #12 pick though, and he probably doesn't make to to pick #43.

-the cowboys, patriots and chargers don't really need him (good front 7). maybe they'd consider it if he feel to the #50s, but he won't.

-the 49ers could use him at OLB/pass rush specialist, and might take him if he falls to #37, but may look to other needs (DB) instead.

-the jets at #29 look like the right value to pick him up. They could use him at either position, but wouldn't be forced into starting him immediately (35 year old DE, average OLB holding the starting spots right now).

-the steelers at #32 would consider it, but mangold, a top 3 WR, L White, or a guy like wimbley/hali falling would probably trump him.

So i'd guess the jets are the most likely at #29 (if they don't take mangold or an RB), followed by browns at #43, the 49ers at #37, and steelers at #32.

I don't see him falling below that #43 spot though... if he's there, it seems like a virtual lock that the browns take him.
