It's been somewhere around two weeks now and it's time for another one of my mock drafts. The mock has been expanded to include the third round and also include trades.
The draft grades are at the end.
Well, here we go...
Team Player POS School Comments
First Round
1 Houston: Reggie Bush, RB, USC: Houston makes the obvious pick, which has been cemented by Bush's pro day.
2 Denver (projected trade from New Orleans): Matt Leinart, QB, USC: In a scramble upward to pick their QB of the future, Denver runs up the board and picks Matt Leinart, the surest bet at QB this year. With Jake Plummer costing the Broncos $9.6 million over the next two years and $20.2 over the next four, they may be looking to trade up to pick a prospect at QB. The Saints receive two first-round picks and a fourth-round pick as compensation.
3 Tennessee: Vince Young, QB, Texas: Young will redshirt next year under Steve McNair and improve his throwing motion and arm strength under Norm Chow.
4 New York Jets: Mario Williams, DE, N.C. State: The Jets pick up the best defensive player in the draft to replace John Abraham at DE.
5 Green Bay: A.J. Hawk, OLB, Ohio State: After releasing Na’il Diggs, the Packers address their need at OLB.
6 San Francisco: D’Brickashaw Ferguson, OT, Virginia: Although they arguably have bigger needs in the secondary, the 49ers couldn’t allow the best offensive lineman in the draft to fall past them.
7 Oakland: Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon: The Raiders add depth at an aging position with Ngata.
8 Buffalo: Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland: This freak will be given every chance to show his moves with the Bills.
9 Detroit Michael Huff, DB, Texas: [/i]This athletic DB can play either CB or FS for the Lions.[/i]
10 Kansas City (projected trade from Arizona): Jimmy Williams, DB, Virginia Tech: With good value at CB throughout the draft, Arizona trades down with Kansas City, who picks one of the best CBs in the draft.
11 Baltimore (projected trade from St. Louis): Broderick Bunkley, DT, Florida State: The Ravens give up a fourth round pick to secure the strongest player in the draft at a need position.
12 Cleveland : Manny Lawson, OLB, N.C. State: Cleveland is happy to draft Lawson, an athletic freak who is faster than most RBs available in this draft.
13 St. Louis (projected trade from Baltimore): Tye Hill, CB, Clemson:St. Louis grabs the same CB prospect that they were eyeing at #11, Tye Hill out of Clemson.
14 Philadelphia: Santonio Holmes, WR, Ohio State: Philadelphia addresses their need at WR with their first pick.
15 New Orleans (projected trade from Atlanta through Denver): Chad Greenway, OLB, Iowa: Scott Fujita and Colby Brockwoldt shouldn’t be the best two OLBs on your team.
16 Miami: Jason Allen, S, Tennessee: Yeremiah Bell and Travares Tillman should not be starting safeties in the NFL.
17 Minnesota: Nick Mangold, C, Ohio State: Will either replace the injured Matt Birk or start at one of the guard positions.
18 Dallas: Marcus McNeil, OT, Auburn: Standout OT will block for Bledsoe and give him time to throw the ball, which we all know he needs.
19 San Diego: Sinorice Moss, WR, Miami: Though many scouts have Chad Jackson rated higher, the Chargers will take a chance on Santana’s brother and hope he lives up to expectations.
20 Arizona (projected trade from Buffalo through Kansas City): Antonio Cromartie, CB, Florida State: Dennis Green spends the second first rounder in two years on a CB, this time on a boom-or-bust player who could excel.
21 New England: DeAngelo Williams, RB, Memphis: The second-best RB in the draft is worth a look by the Pats, especially with Dillon only getting older.
22 Oakland (projected trade from Washington through Denver and New Orleans): Jay Cutler, QB, Vanderbilt: With Mangold long gone, New Orleans trades down with Oakland for its second and third-round picks, plus a fourth next year. Oakland snatches up Cutler before the Jets get to him.
23 Tampa Bay: Winston Justice, OT, USC: With OTs going fast, the Bucs select the best one available, the standout from USC.
24 Cincinnati: Leonard Pope, TE, Georgia: The Bengals select a good TE prospect to replace Matt Schobel.
25 New York Giants: Kamerion Wimbley, OLB, Florida State: The Giants fill a major hole in their defense by the well-liked prospect from Florida State.
26 Chicago: Ernie Sims, OLB, Florida State: Chicago makes an upgrade in their front seven by adding this highly touted underclassmen to their roster.
27 Carolina: Lendale White, RB, USC: Even though his stock fell during his Pro Day, the Panthers are impressed with his running at USC and take a chance on him anyway.
28 Jacksonville: DeMeco Ryans, OLB, Alabama: This speedy LB will fill a hole left by Akin Ayodele’s departure.
29 New York Jets: Eric Winston, OT, Miami: The Jets prepare to fill the hole at OT with Eric Winston, the prospect out of Miami.
30 Indianapolis: Laurence Maroney, RB, Minnesota: Indianapolis picks their replacement for Edge in the first round.
31 Seattle: Tamba Hali, DE, Penn State: The Seahawks pick the best 4-3 DE prospect in the draft as an upgrade to Bryce Fisher.
32 Pittsburgh: Ko Simpson, FS, South Carolina: The Steelers select their replacement for Chris Hope at FS with the final selection of the 1st round.
The draft grades are at the end.
