Logical pick for a team that has no
faith in their current QB. They let an old man start instead of their
young stud meaning they are looking else where for the future. Manning
has the tools to help turn around this team. If they don't trade down
to help out the Defense this man should be their pick.
2.
Oakland Raiders
Larry Fitzgerald, WR - Pitt
A true playmaker in college. His abilty to make the
catch is what makes him such a talent. Is also a great great talent.
Letting him learn from the best for a year could turn him into a star
for many years. Along with Porter he would give Oakland something
to hang the passing game on for years to come.
3.
Arizona Cardinals
Ben Roethlisberger, QB - Miami(Ohio)
The Cardinals are a good positon here,
they have a shot at drafting a QB that other teams are drooling about.
With the release of Blake and hiring of Dennis Green they are looking
to turn the offense around in a hurry. They already have good receivers
that could become great if they have someone to get them the ball.
4.
New York Giants
Robert Gallery, OT - Iowa
A safe pick for a team that seemed to give up toward
the end of last season. Part of their downfall was do to injuries
on the O-line. Everything I hear about this player has him being a
force that could develop on the left side to give the Giants O a chance
to make plays. With the retirement of Hamilton they could look to
trade down and take a D Lineman, but at pick 4 any D lineman in this
years draft would be a reach, unless someone shoots up draft boards
following the combine. aka. D'wayne Roberston who moved up to pick
4 last year.
5.
Washington Redskins
Sean Taylor, S - Miami (Fl.)
Rumor has it they Like Winslow, but
I think Gibbs would like to improve his defense. their secondary would
be solid with the addition of Taylor, that is if they francise Bailey,
which would be in their best interest.
6.
Detroit Lions
Kellen Winslow Jr., TE - Miami (Fl.)
I don't think Winslow would fall past the Lions, they
would of liked to get their hands on Talyor. Winslow gives the offense
a chance to explode. Along with Harrington and Rogers a tight end
could really help spread the field. They also need a RB a need I believe
they will address in the 2nd round.
7.
Atlanta Falcons
Roy Williams, WR - Texas
The Falcons would get a steal taking
Roy Williams at 7. The have speed WR with Price and a TE and that
has all the tools. O line is also a need if for some reason they pass
on Williams look for them to take an O lineman like Shawn Andrews
from Arkansas.
8.
Cleveland Browns
Shawn Andrews, OT - Arkansas
Don't forget just two seasons ago the Browns were a
playoff team. They are set set and WR and RB, yes I know William Green
is a coming across as a basketcase, but they have a star in the making
in Suggs, injured almost all of last year made the most out his late
seaon chance. Adding an O lineman in front of him will give them a
chance to turn around this team. I could also see them trading up
to get a QB. Word is they Fell in love with Ben Roethlisberger, but
with two QB's already one of them must go before the draft.
9.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Ben Troupe, TE - Florida
Troupe is a gifted athlete, that could
help this offense explode. Has all the tools. Much like Todd Heap,
he could help spread the feild, if they pass on Troupe, look for the
to take Reggie Williams. One way or another they are going to get
Leftwitch some weapons.
10.
Houston Texans
Kenechi Udeze, DE - USC
Udeze is a sack machine with a big play mentality. Houston
is a team that is getting ready to make a run at the playoffs. Their
offense is set, so look for them to try to improve their D. This would
be the place to start. If he lasts this long the Texans would be happy
to to land him and let him make an impact as a rookie.
11.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Tommie Harris, DT - Oklahoma
The Steelers would love to draft a
QB this year. But at this point it would be reach. Maybe Phillip Rivers.
Still I believe that they would be shocked to find Harris still on
the board and would not be able to pass him by. It is well known that
in "The League" linebacker play is controled by the D line
in front of them forceing double teams so LB's can make plays and
they already have some very good line backers.
12.
New York Jets
Reggie Williams, WR - Washington
I know the Jets have more of a need on the other side
of the ball, but still the idea of Pennington to have his choice between
Santana Moss and Williams to throw to will be to much for the Jets
to pass on. If they don't get Williams,look for them to take a DB
like Gamble from Ohio State or Straks a DT from Maryland.
13.
Buffalo Bills
Rashaun Woods, WR - Oklahoma St.
Look for the Bills to try to find
that spark of old, the departure of Price hurt that offense more than
they could have predicted. Still Many sources say they are looking
Defense. With an ex-offense coach taking over the team look for them
to try to get the personal in place to turn this to around in a hurry.
Woods could help spread the field and allow for Josh Reed to return
to the slot, where he did so well only two seasons ago.
14.
Chicago Bears
Vince Wilfork, DT - Miami (Fl.)
This pick makes a lot of sense for th Bears. The LB
play seems to have dropped off after Washington left so look for the
Bears to address this by taking Wilfork who could turn out to be the
Best D lineman in the draft. A huge man with strenght to spare could
have the bears playing well on D agian real soon, an impact player
who could start right away.
15.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Kevin Jones, RB - Virginia Tech
A true big play threat everytime he
touches the ball. Has speed like no other RB in the Draft sub 4.4
by some accounts. This is a threat the Bucs need, Gruden likes getting
the RB involved and Jones has limited receiving ability, but still
is the most electric back. They could also go WR here, Clayton would
be a nice fit but still Jones appears to be rare back that they will
not be able to pass on. Look for them to consider a QB here also,
as rumor has it they are not to happy with Johnson, but with the other
Johnson already gone they do not have the luxary of drafting a QB
here and letting sit for a year.
16.
San Francisco 49ers
Michael Clayton, WR - LSU
It seems as if TO will be gone and that means they will
have to jump on one of the recievers in the first round, this position
has depth in this years draft and that is theonly reason Clayton,
a playmaker with good size, could drop to pick 16.
