1 New York Jets (from Houston) - Trade. Houston trades with the New York Jets, swapping first rounders, and also picking up the Jets second rounder. I'll work out the rest of the details later, there could be a swap of day two picks. This gives the Texans five picks in the top 66, which is exactly what they need. The Jets use the pick to draft Reggie Bush RB USC
2 New Orleans - Vince Young QB Texas Desparately need someone to sell tickets. Young's game and the proximity to Texas, along with the eternal suckatude of Aaron Brooks, make him a logical choice. Poor Young will be thrown to the wolves from Day One. Hopefully he'll get through it OK.
3 Tennessee - Matt Leinart Mr. Leinart....Mr. Chow. I believe you've met?
4 Houston (from New York Jets) - This is the guy Houston wanted all along. The trade works perfectly, and they get the safest pick in the draft, and someone to help keep Carr vertical. D'Brickashaw Ferguson OT Virginia
5 Green Bay - Man, these guys need help almost everywhere, but the value here doesn't mesh with any of their most pressing needs. It has to be Hawk or Ngata here. Let's give them AJ Hawk LB Ohio St to pair with Barnett. Did you know Hawk is dating Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn's sister?
(Next spot subject to coin flip. Since the Raiders suck, let's say San Francisco wins the flip.)
6 San Francisco - De-Fense (clap, clap) De-Fense (clap, clap). That Bryant Young guy is getting old. Mario Williams DE NC State
7 Oakland - Since they can't draft a Head Coach, it's old fat man out, young fat man in Haloti Ngata DT Oregon
8 Buffalo - O-Line and Secondary seem to be their needs. But who can't use a pass rusher? I'm thinking Tamba Hali DE Penn St
9 Detroit - It's possible OC Mike Martz can actually get something out of this offense. Some people would suggest another WR here. Not me though, that would be ridiculous. Now a pass-catching tight end......Vernon Davis TE Maryland
10 Arizona - Corner is tempting, but the Cards definitely need a pass rush or it doesn't matter who's playing corner. The pick is DeMeco Ryans LB Alabama
11 St. Louis - You just know that new HC Scott Linehan is going for a new offensive toy. Ike Bruce is aging, and I'm not sure Kevin Curtis is a number 2 guy. But a WR would be a reach here. It's hard to believe that in this day and age Brandon Manamaleuna passes as a starting tight end. Marcedes Lewis TE UCLA
12 Cleveland - Seems like a best player available team. Chad Greenway LB Iowa
13 Baltimore - Unbelievably, Kyle Boller's going to get another chance. However, someone has to be there if/when he fails. They also need RB help - I don't see them keeping Jamal Lewis, and as much as I like Musa Smith, who knows if he'll ever be healthy. So they're going to need someone to pair with Chester Taylor. Let's say they sign a veteran QB like Jon Kitna. That frees them up to get DeAngelo Williams RB Memphis
14 Philadelphia - Odd seeing them drafting this high. The need is obvious, and the same one they have every year. The pick is Santonio Holmes WR Ohio St
15 Atlanta - Let's see. It's gone from being the WRs fault, to the RBs fault, to the OLs fault, to the OCs fault. Is it time to draft a QB? No, not yet. They do need secondary help badly. They'll take Jimmy Williams DB Virginia Tech
16 Miami - You know, as good as Saban had these boys playing last year, they have several holes. They could use another big-play WR. An upgrade everywhere on the OL. Youth at every defensive position. Oh, and that QB guy. He should be familiar with Cutler, but is he sold on him? We'll see. I'm guessing not. Michael Huff DB Texas
17 Minnesota - Another new offensive-minded HC, and offense is where this team's lacking, if you can believe it. Years of drafting defensive players has paid off. Too bad Meathead isn't here to enjoy it. Unless Childress loves Cutler, I feel pretty certain about this pick, provided he lasts this long. Look for Childress to copy the Anderson/Bell backfield of Denver. Mewelde Moore is already cast in the role of Bell. And playing the role of Mike Anderson in this production, LenDale White RB USC
18 Dallas - I love trying to figure out the Tuna's drafts. Bledsoe has one foot in retirement, and Drew Henson doesn't look like he has Parcells' confidence. I don't know why, because I've only seen him play once this year, but Jay Cutler QB Vanderbilt reminds me of a QB Parcells drafted in the first round back in his Jets days.
(At this point, it looks like the Patriots can stand Pat. I think they're guaranteed of getting a player they want.)
19 San Diego - Aside from Wide Receiver, Corner seems to be their greatest need. Ashton Youboty CB Ohio St
20 Kansas City - The Chiefs need somebody to help them stop the run, but the O-line is the key to this team, and they are getting old. The pick is Winston Justice OT USC
21 New England - Okay, what are the possibilities here. We have corners Hill, Cromartie, Gordon, Marshall on the board. RB Maroney. LBs Lawson, Carpenter, Hodge, Sims. DTs Watson, Wright. TE Pope. S Simpson. DE Bunkley, Kiwanuka. WRs Moss, Jackson, Hagen. OTs Scott, Winston, Whitworth, McNeil. My Lord, if there's a trading partner, I think we move down. But I don't know, maybe BB is enamored with Lawson, Simpson, Pope, or one of the OTs. But someone must want the RB, right? Trade Scenario: The Patriots trade the #21 pick to Indianapolis (seriously) for the #30 pick, the #94 pick (giving the Pats 3 third rounders) and their #1in 2007. The Pats will likely give back a day two pick. The Colts take Lawrence Maroney RB Minnesota
22 Denver (from Washington) - I can't imagine a family guy like Pat Bowlen allowing Shanahan to sign T.O. Instead, the Broncos will draft Chad Jackson WR Florida
23 Tampa Bay - This could be the end for Derrick Brooks. If not, it's getting close. The pick is Bobby Carpenter LB Ohio St
24 Cincinnati - The Bengals drafting after The Patriots? What's happening here? Bengals need to get Kaevisharn on the bench, and quickly. The pick is Ko Simpson S South Carolina
25 New York Giants - Shaking up the 8 ball, all signs point to Tye Hill CB Clemson
26 Chicago - I think it's safe to say the defense is all set. The pick here needs to be someone Ortsman can get the ball to. Leonard Pope TE Georgia
(Patriots Update....right now they have to be entertaining the thought of moving up to grab Lawson, Bunkley, Cromartie, or possibly one of the tackles. Frankly, I'm not sure how Lawson and Kiwi are still on the board)
27 Carolina - You know what Steve Smith needs? Another guy just like him to keep defenses honest. A guy like Sinorice Moss WR Miami. First player from the U. this late? Is that possible?
28 Jacksonville - Could use a TE or DB. They'll stay in-state to take one, namely Antonio Cromartie CB Miami
29 Denver - The Cleveland rejects did okay this year, but they're only a band-aid. The pick is Mathias Kiwanuka DE Boston College
30 New England (from Indianapolis) - And they still have two guys on the board. Lawson could work to spell Colvin and Rosie. Bunkley could back up the ends, and provide some insurance in case Seymour leaves. Tough decision, and I'd be happy with either. In the end, I think the Pats take Manny Lawson LB NC State. And Pats fans in New Bedford go crazy, until they find out that Manny is not, in fact, Portuguese. And now with four more picks on Day One, the Pats are prepared to move up to get a DE, DB, or OT when they start coming off the board.
31 Seattle - With Joe Jurevicius likely moving on, a need for a WR is created. Derek Hagen WR Arizona St fits the bill.
32 Pittsburgh - Playing the role of the New England Patriots in April 2006, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bettis. Gone. Randel-El. Gone. DeShea Townshend. Gone. Kimo. Gone. There's some issues here. The pick that makes sense is Broderick Bunkley DE Florida St
2 New Orleans - Vince Young QB Texas Desparately need someone to sell tickets. Young's game and the proximity to Texas, along with the eternal suckatude of Aaron Brooks, make him a logical choice. Poor Young will be thrown to the wolves from Day One. Hopefully he'll get through it OK.
