Look who he has going at 13,16 and 18. Forgot how highly touted Gaffney and Caldwell were coming out of Florida. I clicked on a link for his 07 projection and got this.

This year he has us taking D.Revis at 24. I doubt if he's there. And, he has us taking A.Gonzalez - WR - Ohio ST at 28. Though,
he has A.Spencer and P.Willis going 29 and 30. I'd be ecstatic with Revis and Spencer. Revis can return punts too. Remember that great return he had against WVU? One of the best plays of the year.



Feb. 4
Initial first-round projection

In my second first-round projection of the 2002 NFL draft, Fresno State quarterback David Carr is the overall first pick (to the expansion Houston Texans).

Carr rises to the top in my mock draft on the strength of his highly impressive performance at the Senior Bowl. Carr demonstrated a quick release with tremendous velocity and accuracy. He possesses excellent touch, timing and precision. He also has the presence and leadership qualities that a QB needs.

Meanwhile, Florida wide receiver Reche Caldwell makes the biggest jump into my first-round projection as the 18th pick (to the Redskins).

The draft is slated for April 20-21.

For now, here's how I forecast the first round (* -- underclassman):

1. Houston Texans -- David Carr, QB, Fresno State

2. Carolina Panthers -- *Julius Peppers, DE, North Carolina

3. Detroit Lions -- *Roy Williams, DB, Oklahoma

4. Buffalo Bills -- Joey Harrington, QB, Oregon

5. San Diego Chargers -- Bryant McKinnie, OT, Miami (Fla.)

6. Dallas Cowboys -- Quentin Jammer, CB, Texas

7. Minnesota Vikings -- Mike Williams, OT, Texas

8. Kansas City Chiefs -- Ryan Sims, DT, North Carolina

9. Jacksonville Jaguars -- *Antonio Bryant, WR, Pittsburgh

10. Cincinnati Bengals -- *Phillip Buchanon, CB, Miami (Fla.)

11. Indianapolis Colts -- *Albert Haynesworth, DT, Tennessee

12. Arizona Cardinals -- Wendell Bryant, DT, Wisconsin

13. New Orleans Saints -- Daniel Graham, TE, Colorado

14. New York Giants -- *Jeremy Shockey, TE, Miami (Fla.)

15. Tennessee Titans -- John Henderson, DT, Tennessee

16. Atlanta Falcons -- *Jabar Gaffney, WR, Florida

17. Cleveland Browns -- *William Green, RB, Boston College

18. Washington Redskins -- *Reche Caldwell, WR, Florida

19. Denver Broncos -- *Ashley Lelie, WR, Hawaii

20. Seattle Seahawks -- Kalimba Edwards, DE, South Carolina

21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- *Clinton Portis, RB, Miami (Fla.)

22. Oakland Raiders -- Napoleon Harris, OLB, Northwestern

23. Baltimore Ravens -- Edward Reed, DB, Miami (Fla.)

24. New York Jets -- *Toniu Fonoti, OG, Nebraska

25. Philadelphia Eagles -- Andre Gurode, OG, Colorado

26. Miami Dolphins -- *T.J. Duckett, RB, Michigan State

27. Green Bay Packers -- Patrick Ramsey, QB, Tulane

28. San Francisco 49ers --Dwight Freeney, DE, Syracuse

29. Chicago Bears -- Levi Jones, OT, Arizona State

30. Pittsburgh Steelers -- *Derek Ross, CB, Ohio State

31. St. Louis Rams -- *Josh Reed, WR, LSU

32. New England Patriots -- *Dennis Johnson, DE, Kentucky
 
further proof that taking WR's early is a bad idea.

Caldwell and Gaffney were picked as second round picks by two clubs. They were picked up by the enormous talent evaluators Pioli and Belichick.

They produced for their original clubs and for whatever reason were available.

Kiper's opinion of the talent, size, hands, ball skills, and speed are confirmed.
