Arizona needs the guaranteed QB of
the Future if nothing more than a selling point for their new stadium.
Even though Green is notorious for staying put and taking the best
talent, he will be over-ruled by a talent hungry owner desperately
trying to make their fans forget about their blunder last year by
passing on Terrell Suggs.
2.
Pittsburg Steelers
Ben Roethlisberger, QB - Miami(Ohio)
The Steelers are really high on Roethlisberger and like
last year are willing to give up draft picks to move up and get the
coveted player they want.
3.
San Diego Chargers
Larry Fitzgerald, WR - Pitt
The Chargers are patient and get the
playmaking WR that puts them into the playoffs for years to come.
Drew Brees proves that he performs best when surrounded by excellent
talent and the combo of LT and LF is just to much for the Chargers
to pass on.
4.
New York Giants
Robert Gallery, OT - Iowa
The selection of Gallery allows Petigout to move back
to his natural position of RT and further solidifies their O-line.
5.
Washington Redskins
Kenechi Udeze, DE - USC
This pick can go in a number of directions
mainly because Snyder is so unpredictable, some years he takes the
highest publicized player and then other years he just takes a liking
to some guys. In the end, I think that Taylor's numbers in the combine
will not impress Snyder enough to influence him to select Taylor,
and Winslow Jr's attitude will turn-off Joe Gibbs. So the Natural
choice is to draft the eventual replacement to Bruce Smith. Plus it
will give the young rook some time under one of the greatest at the
position.
6.
Detroit Lions
Sean Taylor, S - Miami (Fl.)
The Lions need that playmaking Defensive player. Millen
loves big hitters and that is what Taylor is, an Anvil stuck in a
safety position. Mariucci would love to have Winslow Jr. to work with,
but he is over-ruled in favor of the most impact D player in the draft.
7.
Atlanta Falcons
Tommie Harris, DT - Oklahoma
Atlanta fans will be memorized by
the addition of Free-Agent TO, so the selection of some DT from the
Mid-west is not going to excite their senses, but the D needs help,
and management knows it, which describes why Reeves and Phillips were
dismissed in replace of another D coordinator. The O will make it
just fine, and the combination of Kerney and Harris will devastate
many O lines.
8.
Cleveland Browns
Kellen Winslow Jr., TE - Miami (Fl.)
The addition of Winslow Jr. adds more controversy to
Cleveland's turmoil. For the first time in years the Fans will be
screaming at the Browns to play as well as the Cavs. Winslow will
definitely allow for the QB to throw whoever it is. Morgan, and Winslow
are a formidable combo, but this team is needless to say a few years
off of contention.
9.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Roy Williams, WR - Texas
Williams is a steal at this pick because
many teams have him going higher to San Diego or Atlanta but he falls
this far, and Leftwich is dancing all the way to training camp and
possibly even through. Williams provides a great compliment to newly
acquired Kevin Johnson and aging stalwart Jimmy Smith.
10.
Houston Texans
Shawn Andrews, OT - Arkansas
The Texans have fulfilled many of their needs in the
recent years, but somehow they neglected the O-line, and Andrews provides
that huge mauling monster at RT that every team covets. This choice
allows the Texans to run and pass more effectively. Possibly this
pick could be flipped with Atlanta where Atlanta could pick Andrews
and the Texans get Harris but that is an unlikely possibility.
11.
Oakland Raiders
D.J. Williams, LB - Miami (FL.)
Well, Well, Well the ageless wonders
ran out of painkillers, and it is time to pay the piper. Even Al Davis
knows that Defense wins Championships, now after his Raiders were
embarrassed by the Bucs in last year's superbowl. With the departure
of ROMO I believe that they need to find a replacement at LB, Not
to mention that Williams is the highest rated player at this point,
and by trading down they picked up extra picks to try and fix that
age problem.
12.
New York Jets
Reggie Williams, WR - Washington
This is a no-brainer, if Williams falls this far he
is a lock to go to the Jets. Mainly because he fits the new-age Jet's
image of silent game-breakers, so his performance is what got him
to this level, not his pub.
13.
Buffalo Bills
Will Smith, DE - Ohio State
Last year the bills improved their
Defense with the addition of Takeo and Adams, but neglected the DE
position. Smith would have been a 1st pick last year, but he showed
maturity and returned for his senior season, and will provide a great
leader and player for the Bills for years to come.
14.
Chicago Bears
Steve Jackson, RB - Oregon St.
Da Bears will be back especially with the addition of
Jackson a game-breaking RB. I don't know if he is as highly as publicized
mainly because played in the D-lacking Pac-10, he looked good for
most of the year, but at times he lacked.
15.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Vince Wilfork, DT - Miami (Fl.)
Why not replace one of the best DT's
in Buccaneers history with another DT from his alma mater not to mention
he posses the same types of skills.
16.
San Francisco 49ers
DeAngelo Hall, CB - Virginia Tech
He just strikes me as a 49ers type of guy and plus he
is just a playmaker.
