1. Houston - Reggie Bush, USC, RB
-This is a pretty obvious pick, they've got a pro bowler in Andre Johnson, a solid QB who never got multiple seconds to read and throw. They do have Dominick Davis already but you just don't pass on Bush.

2. New Orleans - Matt Leinert, USC, QB
-Alot of talk now about Young being the better QB because of the NC win, but when the dust settles before draft day, Leinert will be the 1st QB taken and will be a safer pick for the QB position due to his smarts and accuracy.

3. Tennessee - AJ Hawk, OSU, LB
-a Book LB to go along with Keith Bullock, Hawk will really solidify this defense. Could also take a QB, but I feel McNair still has a few good years, and Voleks their behind him. Plus if they do go for a QB, a veteran QB would be a better fit to help with all the young WRs

4. New York Jets - Vince Young, Univ. of Texas, QB
-Pretty self-explanatory

5. Green Bay - DeAngelo Williams, Memphis, RB
-Ahman Greens days are numbered so why not take the most rounded back in the draft. Williams is a great back, whose yet to be seen by alot of people.

6. San Francisco - D'Brickshaw Ferguson, LT, Univ of Virginia
-Alex Smith is in desperate need of protection. They did just draft a rookie LT in the 3rd round last year, but Ferguson is a premier LT that is too hard to pass up.

7. Oakland - Mario Williams, DE/OLB, North Carolina St.
-Questionable pick due to the size of Williams, but oakland needs an OLB and Al Davis is infatuated with speed. Williams, for his size, is very fast and will step in and start immediately as an OLB.

8. Buffalo - Jimmy Williams, CB/S, Va. Tech
-no real holes on there offense, just need experience playing together. Their defense is top notch as is, but with Terence McGee as a starting corner, that is a position of need so Jimmy Williams becomes a book Corner to Nate Clements, giving Buffalo a top 3 defensive secondary in the NFL with Williams, Clements, Milloy, and Vincent.

9. Detroit - Jay Cutler, QB, Vanderbilt
-Alot of positions of need, and its hard to really pick for them since they have no new HC. But harrington and garcia aren't the future.

10. Arizona - Mathias Kiwunaka, DE/OLB, Boston College
-a team with alot of holes, QB being one but missing out on the top 3, decide to take a defensive pass-rusher and one of the best in Kiwunaka. They will use him as a DE.

11. St. Louis - Ashton Youboty, CB, Ohio St.
-May be the best pure cover corner in the draft. This gives them the corner they've been lacking since the last view years they had Aenes(sp?) Williams.

12. Cleveland - Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon
-Alot of holes, but BPA on the browns board points to the best NT in the draft, a position in desperate need of picking. A CB or LB will be taken in the 2nd round

13. Baltimore - Marcus McNeil, OT, Auburn
-One major problem of kyle boller is that he sometimes has lack of time to throw the ball. the WRs are their, just young, McNeil becomes a bookend to Ogden, and is also his future replacement.

14. Philadelphia - Santonio Holmes, Ohio St., WR
-Not a real deep WR class, but Holmes is a great route runner and is a dangerous deep threat. Will probably play the #2 WR for the 1st year, then take over the lead WR role.

15. Atlanta - Michael Huff, CB/S, Univ. of Texas
-Secondary help is a big need because outside Hall, there's nothing special. a few DBs besides Huff will draw consideration like Laron Landry and Darnell Bing, but the versatility of Huff to play CB or Safety gives him the edge.

16. Miami - Laron Landry, S, LSU
-another team that needs same secondary bolstering, and why not take a safety in which he personally recruited for college.

17. Minnesota - Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland
-This is a pretty interesting pick, but Childress is an offensive minded guy, Vernon Davis is an amazing athlete and could be a premier TE in a few years.

18. Dallas - Omar Jacobs, QB, Bowling Green
-Drew's old, depending on the coaching situation, may look elsewhere but i feel this is the biggest team need.

19. San Diego - Jon Scott, OT, Univ. of Texas
-a solid LT that will make the holes just a bit bigger for THE LT.

20. Kansas City - Rodrique Wright, DT, Univ. of Texas
-They need to keep bolstering their defense, Wright fills another hole

21. New York Giants - Ahmad Brooks, LB, Univ. of Virginia
-Need help at this position, and Brooks is top 15 talent but had a bit of a drop off this past season, Giants get a steal with him dropping to 21.

22. Cincinatti - Mercedes Lewis, TE, UCLA
-Marvin Lewis is a defensive guy, but their defense has plenty of talent, just needs aging. Lewis may be the best TE in the draft, but i have him 2nd ranked to Davis. for the bengals, Reggie Kelly is good, but they upgrade with Lewis.

23. Tampa Bay - Demeco Ryan, LB, Alabama
-I have a feeling i'm going to get ripped for this pick, but Ryan is a great player who will thrive in the Tampa system. Was thinking maybe a corner, but that position would be easily obtained in FA. Demeco Ryan will be the understudy to Derrick Brooks.

24. Jacksonville - Antonio Cromartie, CB, FSU
-The Willis McGahee of this years draft. Without injury, Cromartie was without question going to be the #1 corner in the draft with a great combination of size and speed. Del Rio is a defensive minded guy, and likes to take chances like he did last year taking Matt Jones.

25. Washington - Derek Hagans, WR, Arizona St.
-Not to many holes in Redskins, Hagans will be a great compliment to Moss and that combo will make Brunell and Jason campbell drool.

26. New England - Chad Greenway, LB, Iowa
-New England has shown to draft class guys who have talent. Chad Greenway is a good kid with tremendous talent. Probably won't start right away with them, but will gain considerable field time with McGinest and Colvin aging.

27. Carolina - Martin Nance, WR, Miami(OH)
-Maybe the most underrated WR in the draft. I've seen him play in person and he has great ball skills to go along with his big 6'4 frame and has good speed to go along with it. Great possession WR to go along with the speedster in Smith.

28. Chicago - Leonard Pope, TE, Georgia
-Another team without many holes, Pope is an upgrade over desmond clark and gives them another recieving threat to go along with muhammad and Bradley when he returns next year.

29. Pittsburgh - Michael Bush, RB, Louisville
-With Bettis talking retirement, Bush would be able to take over the Jerome Bettis role because they are very, very similar backs.

30. Denver - Darnell Bing, S, USC
-Nick Ferguson is OK at best and John Lynch isn't getting any younger. Bing was the only bright spot in that weak USC secondary from this past season. Will start immediately.

31. Seattle - Tambi Hali, DE, Penn St.
-one of the best 4-3 DE's in this draft. He's very fast from his position and has a radar lock on the QB.

32. Indianapolis - Ernie Sims, LB, FSU
-very fast LB who plays from sideline to sideline. Cato June had a good year, but would switch to the SLB so that Sims could play the WLB. Sims would be the Derrick Brooks of the Indi defense.




There ya go guys, took some time and i know its early, but have fun looking

I think Tennessee has bigger needs. Even at LB, IMO their MLB position is much weaker. I think they'd take D'Brick here with Hopkins being pretty old.

7. Oakland - Mario Williams, DE/OLB, North Carolina St.
-Questionable pick due to the size of Williams, but oakland needs an OLB and Al Davis is infatuated with speed. Williams, for his size, is very fast and will step in and start immediately as an OLB.

6'7 290 lbs at OLB? Especially nutty now that they're no longer running out of the 3-4.

8. Buffalo - Jimmy Williams, CB/S, Va. Tech
-no real holes on there offense, just need experience playing together. Their defense is top notch as is, but with Terence McGee as a starting corner, that is a position of need so Jimmy Williams becomes a book Corner to Nate Clements, giving Buffalo a top 3 defensive secondary in the NFL with Williams, Clements, Milloy, and Vincent.

Aren't they supposed to be shopping Clements this offseason? If he goes the pick makes sense. You have him staying, but the pick doesn't make a whole lot of sense with that. You don't need 2 shutdown CBs, and I think McGee is good enough. Plus I keep hearing Williams translates better to S, which makes sense with his size.

10. Arizona - Mathias Kiwunaka, DE/OLB, Boston College
-a team with alot of holes, QB being one but missing out on the top 3, decide to take a defensive pass-rusher and one of the best in Kiwunaka. They will use him as a DE.

They just signed Chike Okeafor last offseason, he's okay. Bert Berry is very good. This pick just doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't they take Ngata?

11. St. Louis - Ashton Youboty, CB, Ohio St.
-May be the best pure cover corner in the draft. This gives them the corner they've been lacking since the last view years they had Aenes(sp?) Williams.

They're really lacking in a free safety, OLB. Ron Bartell looked pretty good for them last season. And I think Youboty is a big reach here near the top 10.

14. Philadelphia - Santonio Holmes, Ohio St., WR
-Not a real deep WR class, but Holmes is a great route runner and is a dangerous deep threat. Will probably play the #2 WR for the 1st year, then take over the lead WR role.

Everyone keeps pointing to the loss of TO, but I think the Eagles go DE or OT here. Both starting OTs are in their 30s.

18. Dallas - Omar Jacobs, QB, Bowling Green
-Drew's old, depending on the coaching situation, may look elsewhere but i feel this is the biggest team need.

I think his stock took a major hit this season, I can't understand why he declared. Didn't the committee or whatever say he'd be a 3rd round pick? That guy's got money on the mind.

22. Cincinatti - Mercedes Lewis, TE, UCLA
-Marvin Lewis is a defensive guy, but their defense has plenty of talent, just needs aging. Lewis may be the best TE in the draft, but i have him 2nd ranked to Davis. for the bengals, Reggie Kelly is good, but they upgrade with Lewis.

I think they'd be smart to take a DT here, that defense obviously has a lot to improve upon. The offense is already as stacked at any. A great OL, a loaded WR corps, a top 10 RB, possibly the best young QB in the league. And you say their defense already has plenty of talent?

23. Tampa Bay - Demeco Ryan, LB, Alabama
-I have a feeling i'm going to get ripped for this pick, but Ryan is a great player who will thrive in the Tampa system. Was thinking maybe a corner, but that position would be easily obtained in FA. Demeco Ryan will be the understudy to Derrick Brooks.

LOVE it. And it's RyanS.

25. Washington - Derek Hagans, WR, Arizona St.
-Not to many holes in Redskins, Hagans will be a great compliment to Moss and that combo will make Brunell and Jason campbell drool.

Washington doesn't have a 1st. Remember, they traded it to Denver for the pick they used for Jason Campbell. What morons.

29. Pittsburgh - Michael Bush, RB, Louisville
-With Bettis talking retirement, Bush would be able to take over the Jerome Bettis role because they are very, very similar backs.

I think they'd take LenDale White here.

Tennessee does have bigger needs. But i've always been an advocate of building your Oline through FA, because i think drafting an Olineman is the biggest risk in the draft. AJ Hawk is phenominal and there's really no MLB worthy of a top 3 pick. I could always have them trade out, but trying to predict trades is hard.
6'7 290 lbs at OLB? Especially nutty now that they're no longer running out of the 3-4.
I did take into consideration the size of Williams. But in the end, I came to the conclussion that he's that good of an athlete where he'll be able to play the OLB in a 4-3, even with his size.

You don't need 2 shutdown CBs, and I think McGee is good enough. Plus I keep hearing Williams translates better to S, which makes sense with his size.
See with Williams' versatility, I figured this was a safe pick because he can play both CB and S, and Vincent and Milloy are both getting up there in age. Plus, he could play as a book corner Clements if they keep him. Remember Washington had Bailey and still drafted Smoot in the 2nd round. Or Denver who has Bailey, and still drafted a CB early last year.
They just signed Chike Okeafor last offseason, he's okay. Bert Berry is very good. This pick just doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't they take Ngata?
See i went with Kiwanuka over Ngata for 2 reasons. 1)I kinda forgot about Berry when doing the draft. 2)Since both were positions of need, I went BPA on the pick.
They're really lacking in a free safety, OLB. Ron Bartell looked pretty good for them last season. And I think Youboty is a big reach here near the top 10.
I went with a CB here because of Jerome Carter. I think Archuleta and Carter will be a better combination than Groce and Bartell. I kinda got ripped on the browns site with them saying Youboty is going to be a 2nd round pick.

Everyone keeps pointing to the loss of TO, but I think the Eagles go DE or OT here. Both starting OTs are in their 30s.
Now while I agree that Thomas and Runyan are both getting old, they've still got a few solid years left in them. As for DE, it could be a very good posibility. But i feel that not having the presense of a #1 WR, will really hurt their offense in terms of production. They need a guy who can make plays. Holmes i feel is the best pick here.
I think his stock took a major hit this season, I can't understand why he declared. Didn't the committee or whatever say he'd be a 3rd round pick? That guy's got money on the mind.
this pick may be a bit high, but by draft day, especially after the combines and workouts, i see him making his way into the 2nd round for sure, and all he needs is one team to fall in love with him to go in the 1st round. He's still a great athlete with a cannon for an arm. He's a gunslinger like Bledsoe.
I think they'd be smart to take a DT here, that defense obviously has a lot to improve upon. The offense is already as stacked at any. A great OL, a loaded WR corps, a top 10 RB, possibly the best young QB in the league. And you say their defense already has plenty of talent?
I put a good amount of thought into this pick as well. them drafting a DT really crossed my mind here. But with my top 2 off the board already, and the recent trend of teams drafting similar to their division(ravens have heap, browns have kellen, steelers have Miller), the bengals would look to draft a playmaking TE if there's a talented one available.
LOVE it. And it's RyanS.
I watched him play a few times, i think he's a special player
Washington doesn't have a 1st. Remember, they traded it to Denver for the pick they used for Jason Campbell. What morons.Well this one is easy to fix. Player stays, team changes. Rod Smith is a year or 2 away from retiring. Ashley Lelie isn't really panning out, a reciever with playmaking abilities would be nice for this team.
I think they'd take LenDale White here.
I may be wrong, but i really think Michael Bush is the best power back in this draft

i figure since its still early, here's a few guys who can jump into my 1st round as we near the draft:

RBs:
Maurice Drew, UCLA
Laurence Maroney, Minnesota
Lendale White, USC

WRs:
Chad Jackson, UF

OTs:
Winston Justice, USC
Joe Thomas, Wisconsin
Eric Winston, Miami

OGs(not original gangsta's ;) )
Rob Smith, Tennessee

DTs:
Brodrick Bunkley, FSU

LBs:
D'Quell Jackson, Maryland

CBs:
Dee Webb, UF
Charles Gordon, Kansas
Tye Hill, Clemson
Will Blackmon, BC (was rated near the top coming into the season, but do to lack of skill players at BC, was forced to play out of position alot. With a great combine, don't be amazed to see him go late 1st early 2nd)

S's:
Ko Sampson, South Carolina

I'm not going to burn your for having us pick Demeco Ryans. I like the pick as I agree that he could be a great understudy of Brooks and take over when Brooks retires.

I have some more comments on the rest of the picks, but I have my lunch break now, so i'll do that when I come back.

Umm...as far as I know, Cromartie got a medical redshirt this year. He will be back in Tally next year as a junior.

Even if he had declared, there's no way in hell LenDale drops out of the first, some have him being the second RB taken.

LenDale won't be the 2nd RB taken, but once again, it all depends on which team is picking and what they're looking for.

two years ago, everybody knew that kevin jones was the 2nd best back in the draft, but Cinci took Chris Perry over him because of the style runner they were looking for.

I personally think he'll either end up in Pitt, New England, Minne, or even as high as Zona. But what the hell do I know? I'm just some punk*** asian teenager, not an NFL scout, but at THIS point in the season, your guess is as good as mine.

Tennessee does have bigger needs. But i've always been an advocate of building your Oline through FA, because i think drafting an Olineman is the biggest risk in the draft. AJ Hawk is phenominal and there's really no MLB worthy of a top 3 pick. I could always have them trade out, but trying to predict trades is hard.

The MLB point was just to illustrate that they have much bigger needs. Plus they have cap problems just like the Bucs do, they won't be signing any worthwhile tackles. I can't see them passing up Ferguson.

I did take into consideration the size of Williams. But in the end, I came to the conclussion that he's that good of an athlete where he'll be able to play the OLB in a 4-3, even with his size.

Drug abusers are losers, nolesfan. Please get clean, we're all pulling for you here at TBBBB. :) Just have Oakland draft him as a DE and stop the insanity. :D

See with Williams' versatility, I figured this was a safe pick because he can play both CB and S, and Vincent and Milloy are both getting up there in age. Plus, he could play as a book corner Clements if they keep him. Remember Washington had Bailey and still drafted Smoot in the 2nd round. Or Denver who has Bailey, and still drafted a CB early last year.

Drafting him as a safety I really don't have a problem with either. But top 10 picks and 2nd rounders are completely different. Buffalo is just not a very good team at this point, I'd be shocked if they decided to bolster their strongest position in CB with a top 10 pick instead of more pressing needs like DT or OL.

I went with a CB here because of Jerome Carter. I think Archuleta and Carter will be a better combination than Groce and Bartell. I kinda got ripped on the browns site with them saying Youboty is going to be a 2nd round pick. But i have a really strange feeling, between knowing the pedigree of OSU for the CB position, and watching Youboty play, that he is the best cover corner in the draft.

I think with Butler, Groce, and Bartell they're fine at CB for the future. Where's this Carter talk coming from? He wasn't much of an impact player and I don't even remember him playing all that much. I know Furrey, their converted WR started coming along, but they still have good reason to look at S in the draft. I also believe Archuleta is a FA. It seems your bias to Youboty is getting the best of you here.

Now while I agree that Thomas and Runyan are both getting old, they've still got a few solid years left in them. As for DE, it could be a very good posibility. But i feel that not having the presense of a #1 WR, will really hurt their offense in terms of production. They need a guy who can make plays. Holmes i feel is the best pick here.

Runyan is a FA and I believe Thomas missed some time this season(that's a pretty safe bet with any Eagles player this year). Tackle is a huge need for them.

this pick may be a bit high, but by draft day, especially after the combines and workouts, i see him making his way into the 2nd round for sure, and all he needs is one team to fall in love with him to go in the 1st round. He's still a great athlete with a cannon for an arm. He's a gunslinger like Bledsoe.

Yeah, but for a guy who was injured, had a very down season, has funny mechanics, and played in a gimmicky offense. I don't think anyone's going to fall for him in the 1st.

I put a good amount of thought into this pick as well. them drafting a DT really crossed my mind here. But with my top 2 off the board already, and the recent trend of teams drafting similar to their division(ravens have heap, browns have kellen, steelers have Miller), the bengals would look to draft a playmaking TE if there's a talented one available.

Wroten and Mehelona both had good seasons and would easily be worth the pick here(personally, I like them better than Wright who was unimpressive overall). I just can't see them going with even more offense ala the Colts a few years ago. Marvin is smarter than that.

Well this one is easy to fix. Player stays, team changes. Rod Smith is a year or 2 away from retiring. Ashley Lelie isn't really panning out, a reciever with playmaking abilities would be nice for this team.

I believe Lepsis is in his mid-30s and a number of their somewhat ineffective D-linemen are going to be FAs. I think a safety and a lineman is a pretty safe bet for them.

I may be wrong, but i really think Michael Bush is the best power back in this draft

I have to imagine that White's stock is much higher than Bush's. Bush is nice, but LenDale looks like an every down back. Bush was rumored to be coming back for a while, I just assumed he would which probably wasn't the best idea with the way every healthy underclassman is declaring.
