OK guys, i figured since i'm so nicely welcomed, i'd share the mock draft i made last week. I'm currently working on a 2 rounder, hopefully will be done next week with that. share some thoughts...

1.Houston Texans – Reggie Bush, RB USC
Houston stays put at the #1 pick, and takes the overall top player in the draft. Personally, I’d trade down and get the LT of the future in D’Brickashaw Ferguson. But I don’t see anyone wanting to trade up anymore, so they take the top player in the draft in Reggie Bush.

2.New Orleans Sains – D’Brickashaw Ferguson, OT Virginia
When you sign your franchise QB, you then draft your franchise LT to protect his butt.

3.Tennessee Titans – Matt Leinart, QB USC
Pretty simple choice here. Norm Chow + Matt Leinart = Happy Coach Fischer. Titans can’t pass up the guy who led Norm Chow’s offense to success before.

4.New York Jets – Mario Williams, DE NC State
With the trade of John Abraham, they replace that spot with the top rated DE on the board, and he just happens to be a potential freak.

5.Green Bay Packers – AJ Hawk, LB Ohio State
Green Bay’s defense is starving for a playmaker, and a hitter. You get 2 in 1 with AJ Hawk. With Hawk next to Barnett and behind newly aquired DT Ryan Pickett, the middle of the Packer defense should be stronger than it has in years.

6.San Francisco 49ers – Vernon Davis, TE Maryland
AJ Hawk is a huge possibility with Green Bay trading down, but with their pick last year of Alex Smith, they have to do something now to help their young player. The answer, take the top offensive playmaker available, and that is the athletic TE from Maryland Vernon Davis.

7.Oakland Raiders – Vince Young, QB Texas
This is completely an Al Davis pick. Potentially one of the best QB’s in the draft, with a huge arm. The potential that Vince Young could become, is too much for the Raiders to pass up. Davis likes the big armed Texan.

8.Buffalo Bills – Haloti Ngata, DT Oregon
The Bills have spent the entire off-season so far looking for run stoppers and DT’s. After signing Larry Tripplett, they find the other half by drafting Ngata.

9.Detroit Lions - Michael Huff, S Texas
Detroit battles for a while thinking of taking Cutler here, but GM Matt Millen decides he can live with the 2 free agent QB’s, Jon Kitna and Josh McNown. McNown could be the future QB for the Lions, so he gets to sit and learn from Kitna. And instead they take the top defensive player available and find a gem in Michael Huff.

10.Arizona Cardinals – Jay Cutler, QB Vandy
Even though they just signed Kurt Warner to a large deal, everyone in the desert knows Arizona is just a retirement community as of now, and need to add some youth for the future of their franchise. Jay Cutler will get the chance to sit back for a year or so, and learn behind the former MVP.

11.St. Louis Rams – Tamba Hali, DE Penn St.
All St. Louis did this off-season is lose top defensive players, so they have a need to draft a top defensive player in Tamba Hali and add some pressure to opposing QB’s.

12.Cleveland Browns – Ernie Sims, LB FSU
Romeo is starving for LB’s, so he takes maybe the most athletic LB in the draft in Ernie Sims. Ernie will play an OLB in Romeo’s 3-4, and could easily turn out to be the next Jerry Porter.

13.Baltimore Ravens – Winston Justice, OT USC
Baltimore NEEDS some younger offensive lineman. And Winston Justice will be a nice piece at RT for the Ravens. Ravens have a gapping whole at RT, so he steps in as their starter day 1.

14.Philadelphia Eagles – LenDale White, RB USC
Philly has Westbrook, now they want a between the tackles pounder, and LenDale White falls into their hands at number 14.

15.Denver Broncos – Chad Jackson, WR Florida
Mike Shanahan wants some new WR in Denver, and with the trade with Atlanta, he’s able to land the top rising prospect in the draft in Chad Jackson.

16.Miami Dolphins – Chad Greenway, LB Iowa
Offense would probably be a necessity for Miami, but it’s hard to pass up a LB that will help the youth movement and growth in Miami.

17.Minnesota Vikings – Jimmy Williams, CB Va. Tech
Minnesota is beyond thrilled that Jimmy Williams falls to them. Williams with Top 10 potential, but the need for Williams isn’t sought until Minnesota pulls the trigger on him at #17. Big pick by the Vikes.

18.Dallas Cowboys – Marcus McNeil, OT Auburn
Cowboys look to solidify their offense by adding an OT to help protect Drew Bledsoe, to get the ball out to T.O.

19.San Diego Chargers – Santonio Holmes, WR Ohio State
San Diego want weapons to help their newly crowned starting Quarterback Phillip Rivers, and they get one with the drafting of Santonio Holmes.

20.Kansas City Chiefs – Tye Hill, CB Clemson
Kansas City keeps with their pursuit of continually improving their defense by adding another CB.

21.New England Patriots – Laurence Maroney, RB Minnesota
Patriots look to ungrade their RB position, or add more depth to their Defense. With Laurence Maroney sitting on the board still at #21, he’s too good to pass up. Plus Maroney runs very similar in styles as Corey Dillion. Maroney can split time and learn with Dillion before he becomes the full time starter.

22.Denver Broncos – DeAngelo Williams, RB Memphis
Denver had hopes of adding 2 offensive threats, and they get maybe the 2 biggest in the draft. With the top WR Chad Jackson at 15, DeAngelo Williams fall to them at 22. DeAngleo might be the best running back in this draft, but stays highly unnoticed with the USC boys.

23.Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Bobby Carpenter, LB Ohio State
Tampa looks to upgrade and add some youth to their slowly aging defense, and add Bobby Carpenter to play on the strong side opposite Derrick Brooks.

24.Cincinnati Bengals – Brodrick Bunkley, DT FSU
Cincinnati wants some size and ability in the interior of their defensive line, and go with Brodrick Bunkley, the quickly rising DT to help take some blockers away from rookie sensation Odell Thurman.

25.New York Giants – Darnell Bing, S USC
While the Giants are looking to upgrade their LB’s, all the top LB’s they want are gone at this point, and decide they can add a Safety that plays like a linebacker in Darnell Bing.

26.Chicago Bears – Marcedes Lewis, TE UCLA
No secret here, Bears want and need a TE. The have the QB in Grossman, they have 2 RB’s in Thomas and Benson, they have WR’s in Mushin and Bradley who looked good until getting hurt, and they have a solid OL. What they don’t have is a TE, welcome the new Marcedes to Chicago.

27.Carolina Panthers – Rod Wright, DT Texas
Injuries and age have hurt the Panthers interior defensive line the past couple seasons. Rod Wright is a large, agile man who has the potential to become a very solid and very good DT for the Panthers for years to come.

28.Jacksonville Jaguars – Demeco Ryans, LB Alabama
When your head coach is a former LB, he would love nothing more than to add the extremely athletic and talented Demeco Ryans. He, again, is one of those guys who sits kind of under radar, but can have a huge effect on the NFL, and the Jags.

29.New York Jets – Nick Mangold, C Ohio State
The next area of business the Jets address is their offensive line, by taking the top rated Center, Nick Mangold.

30.Indianapolis Colts – Thomas Howard, LB UTEP
Indy passes at a RB at this point to continue to help their defense by adding a speedster at LB in Thomas Howard. Howard easily fits the Colts defensive system and his athletic ability is what Tony Dungy loves in a LB.

31.Seattle Seahawks – Max Jean-Gilles, OG Georgia
Losing Hutchinson hurt their offense big time, so they draft the top guard in the draft. Jean-Gilles is a very solid player who should be able to step into Hutchinson’s empty spot on the first day of training camp.

32.Pittsburgh Steelers – Mathias Kiwanuka, DE Boston College
Steelers see they don’t have the solid true pass rushing DE, instead using their LB’s for pass rush. This gives them the opportunity to get a true pass rusher at the DE position and place him opposite Jerry Porter and get pressure coming on both sides.


There are some things i already look at and go, what? but this is what i have for now.
