1. Houston - Mario Williams - DE - NC State
Stupid pick.
2. New Orleans – Reggie Bush - TB - USC
Benson wants Reggie to sell tickets and excitement.
3. Titans – Vince Young - QB - Texas
Floyd Reese is the boss.
4. NY Jets - D'Brickashaw Ferguson - LT - Virginia
Franchise pass protectors are hard to find.
5. Green Bay - Vernon Davis - TE - Maryland
With Javon Walker on the outs, they need an offensive weapon.
6. 49ers – AJ Hawk - LB - Ohio State
This team needs major help on D.
7. Raiders – Matt Leinart - QB - USC
They can't pass up a young QB talent. Al Davis gets nostalgic for another southpaw, Kenneth Stabler.
8.Buffalo - Broderick Bunkley - DT/DE - FSU
I look for Minnesota to trade up to get Cutler here or from Detroit. If Buffalo stays, Bunk is the pick. He had a ridiculous number of bench presses and can be a Richie Seymour type of kid.
9. Detroit - Ernie Sims - LB - FSU
This is too high for Sims, but Millen is an utter moron.
10. Arizona - Jay Cutler - QB - Vanderbilt
If Minnesota already grabbed Cutler, look for Justice to come off the board.
11. St Louis - Haloti Ngata - DT - Oregon
Rams need a run plugger. Pickett was a disaster.
12. Cleveland - Manny Lawson- OLB - NC State
43 on the Wunderlich is phenomenal. Could be this year's Ware. Better athlete than Wimbley and more experience at LB makes an easier transition.
13. Baltimore - Winston Justice - OT - USC
Jamal Lewis is smiling because the Ravens line was abysmal last year.
14. Philadelphia - Santonio Holmes - WR - OSU
Holmes really struggles against the press. Also expect to see Javon Walker end up there for a package of picks. I project Philly to trade down to give them more ammo for trading for Walker. They can't go into the season with their amateurish collection of wideouts. They need Walker and a high draft pick at the position.
15. Denver - Chad Jackson - WR- Florida
Their receivers are their achilles heel. They prefer Jackson to Holmes.
16. Miami - Antonio Cromartie - CB - FSU
Uber upside.
17. Vikings - Demeco Ryans - LB - Alabama.
They'll try to trade up for Cutler but Ryans adds some toughness to a moribound team.
18. Dallas - Jason Allen - S - Tennessee.
Allen has more upside than Whitner.
19. Chargers - Donte Whitner - S - OSU
Very solid and a great leader.
20. Chiefs - Chad Greenway - LB - Iowa
Very pedestrian athlete but good instincts and loves the game.
21. Patriots - Kamerion Wimbley - OLB - FSU
Need a replacement for McGinest. His slow 40 and lack of LB experience drops him.
22. 49ers - Jonathan Joseph - CB - South Carolina
They need a corner.
23. Tampa - Marcus McNeil - OT - Auburn
This has been penciled in since January.
24. Cincinnati - Jimmy Williams - CB - Virginia Tech
They need help in the secondary.
25. NY Giants - Tye Hill - CB - Fresno State
Giants are doing blackflips to be able to get him. Great speed and toughness.
26. Chicago - Sinorice Moss WR - Miami
They need a speed weapon. Mark Bradley is too much of a question.
27. Panthers - LenDale White - TB - USC
Foster is like a glass figurine. They need a power back as a complement.
28. Jaguars - Deangelo Williams - Memphis
This is a ridiculous steal this late.
29. Jets - Nick Mangold - C - OSU
Yikes this is a great pick.
30. Indianapolis - Joseph Addai - RB LSU
Surprise pick. Mo Drew is way too high here. A 5'6 guy is not going in the first round.
31. Seattle - Tamba Hali - DE - PSU
Want a receiver but you can never have enough pass rushers.
32. Pittsburgh - Bobby Carpenter - OLB - OSU
Would love to see the Dolphins trade down and get this kid, Can play inside and out and is tough.
Stupid pick.
