To many "unfamiliar" sports fans this would seem crazy but physically this guy is nowhere near Ben Roethlisberger, his arm maybe stronger than hsi brothers but is nowhere near Roethlisbergers, and other fractors such as speed, accuracy and release is all in favor of big Ben. However Manning will be picked because he is the safer pick coming from a tougher division and being the brother and son of legends. Secondly he will be picked because of his intangibles and his passion for the game.

Oakland Raiders
Mike Williams, WR - USC
you know, it seems this guy went from off the charts to perhaps the #1 pick in the draft, possibly due to the fact that he did not stand out in the true #1 team in the country, no matter wat a computer says..... anyways this guy has amazing talent, youth, maturity and wen u watch him ur overwhlemed with a felling of Randy Mossness, if u know wat i mean. Big Al wants a playmaker on his team again with Rice and Brown already past their decline.

Arizona Cardinals
Ben Roethlisberger, QB - Miami(Ohio)
For thos of you who dont know, this guy is insane, unbelievable arm, may not be as good as Vick, but then again, whos perfect? shocking speed for his size and great mechanics when throwing the ball. Most important he has shown scouts that he is committed by showing up to events that most players would not go out of their way to attend.
4.
New York Giants
Robert Gallery, OT - Iowa
although he'll probably be no higher than 3 he is the most talented and best pick, its just that an OT is not on many teams needs list but it is on the Giants list. Kerry Collins and Tiki are probably the two most fumble prone palyers in the league. Maybe its not them, maybbbbeee its the continuous raiding of the D-lineman flying by a flimsly line and spearheading them. This guy is a future legend, trust me.
5.
Washington Redskins
Sean Taylor, S - Miami (Fl.)
Taylor might be one of the highest picked safeties in the league and for an obvious reason. Great talent, perfect size, couldnt be better, but even better he is a playmaker and would really stimulate that D, imagine a Arrington + Taylor duo, I would not want to be a WR running across the middle.
6.
Detroit Lions
Larry Fitzgerald, WR - Pitt
Great player, but his stock has dropped, Analysts say he did good at combine, nothing that would drop his stock, but then again nothing that would raise it. However with players around him raising there stock a lot he drops down in the draft signifcantly, i wouldnt be surprised if he drops down even later. Great playmaking skills, descent atheleticism, not as special as i thought
7.
Cleveland Browns
Kellen Winslow Jr., TE - Miami (Fl.)
Good oll Dad should rise this guys stock up plus the fact that he is in great shape and although his blocking needs work he has some of the greatest hands any TE has ever shown at so young a age. Maybe he can fix the Browns Offensive dilemmas, i doubt they would risk another first rounder on a QB or WR and they already have a very good young RB. Winslows one major concern is that he will be another Sharpe, good receiving skills, but slim to none blocking skils.
8.
Atlanta Falcons
Tommie Harris, DT - Oklahoma
That offense is set with a one man team in Vick, that guy can compensate for throwing the football, running the football and doing just about everything u can possibly do with a football. But that defense needs help, especially that line, u can always count on Oklahoma for a big DT. This guy can clog up the middle but is mostly known for his push, would be a perfect match for the Falcons 4-3 defense. God if Atlantas D ever stepped up and Vick was healthy they would be a force to be wreckoned with. But if they dont step up, theyd be as much of a force to be wreckoned with as the Detroit Tigers, they wouldnt be a force at all.
9.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Chris Gamble, CB - Ohio State
Jags looked good at the end of last year, good coach, great young QB an always potentially amazing RB in taylor and a grat D-Line, but they lack a good solid LB and CB, Gamble is a great CB and would be a steal his low, would get a lot of picks with a line that gets the pressure that the Jags get. Hes a good leader, but still needs to work harder to get into better shape, not a whole lot of raw talent.
10.
Houston Texans
Shawn Andrews, OT - Arkansas
i know, i know, Andrews in the top 10 and two OT's in the top 10, unlikely, but i believe it might be true. Because the texans need another O-lineman to protect Carr, Andrews may not be their first choice but theyll take wat they can get. They could also use a DT. Andrews has good mechanics but still lacks the true body type and size to be a good tackle, but he is still 5 times better than any other of the Texans OT's.
11.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Steve Jackson, RB - Oregon St.
Steelers, are not only in a tough position needing to fill a lot of holes for an already mediocre team but they also have the worst luck. Their #1 need is QB but unfortunately in this draft their are two all stars worthy of the top 5 and the next best one is maybe late-middle round. So they have to resort to Stephen Jackson earlier than many might believed he might be taken. But make no mistake Jackson is the best RB in the draft with a great combo of size and speed with great every-down back hands and run after the catch experience
12.
New York Jets
Roy Williams, WR - Texas
With the lost of Coles, Santana Moss cannot handle the load alone, Williams although his stats were bad has amazing talent and really proved himself in his senior year. Stats were deceiving because the longhorns ran twice as much as they passed. Pennington would enjoe this extra weapon, however the jets do hav other needs with an aging RB and an aging Linebacking corp.
13.
Buffalo Bills
Kenechi Udeze, DE - USC
Schobel is a great DE, but with aging failing DT's they need a nother D-lineman to provide pass rush, Udeze would be the first DE in the draft and rightly so, from USC he has unmatched power and speed. The Bills would be luckyif Udeze dropped this far down considering he could go as far up as #5 to the skins. He really pumped up his stock at the combine.
14.
Chicago Bears
Vince Wilfork, DT - Miami (Fl.)
Again another example of a D-lineman who really excelled in the combine and should be drafted higher than people thought, he is a big space eater with descent mechanics and speed but is really known for his extraordinary size. he could go to the texans at pick #10 and if Andrews is avaliable the Bears would surely gobble him up. The bears are looking good with Rex showing some potential and with Wilfork Urlacher could once again be freed up to do as he wished as he did wen Ted Washington took up two blockers at a time.
15.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Reggie Williams, WR - Washington
With Johnson gone the Bucs need some more weapons on offense, the defense should pull itself together sooner or later so the bucs shoud spend their first round pick on a offensive player. Williams may not drop this low, but if he is there the Bucs will take him due to his amazing work ethic and hands. He would be a nice replacement to a WR whos mouth appeared to be bigger than his game.
16.
San Francisco 49ers
Michael Clayton, WR - LSU
Are hoping that Williams is still avaliable to them because of the lost of Owens. However, Clayton would be just as good of a pick as Wiliams with amazing potential. The only difference is that Williams is a more finished and secure and proven player while Clayton has the same amount of skill and talent but also had much more weapons being on the national championship team.
