Selection
Comment
1. San Diego
Eli Manning
With Drew Brees as the starter, this is a no-brainer
2. New York Giants*
Robert Gallery
Giants trade their first round pick (#4) and a third rounder to the Raiders for this pick
3. Arizona Cardinals
Larry Fitzgerald
Denny Green gets his man
4. Oakland Raiders*
Ben Roethlisberger
Raiders trade down, and still get their quarterback of the future
5. Washington Redskins
Kellen Winslow II
Redskins get a future Pro Bowler for Brunell to throw to
6. Houston Texans*
Sean Taylor
Detroit trades down to the #10 spot and picks up a fourth round pick. Houston gets the guy they want
7. Cleveland Browns
Mike Williams
Browns pick up a big target for Jeff Garcia to throw to
8. Atlanta
Roy Williams
Atlanta follows suit by getting a target for Michael Vick
9. Jacksonville
Shawn Andrews
Jacksonville will reach and grab the best lineman available to protect Leftwich
10. Detroit*
Stephen Jackson
By trading down, Detroit still gets the player they want, but without reaching as much
11. Pittsburgh
Philip Rivers
Tommy Maddox is not the answer
12. New York Jets
Reggie Williams
Will match up nicely alongside Santana Moss
13. Buffalo
Chris Gamble
Buffalo could also trade down and take a QB later
14. Chicago Bears
Tommie Harris
If Harris doesn't go to Washington or Atlanta, he falls here.
15. Tampa Bay
Vince Wilfork
Will replace the departed Sapp
16. San Francisco
Michael Clayton
49ers will shock a few people and grab Clayton higher than expected
17. Cincinnati
DJ Williams
Bengals grab the most gifted linebacker on the board
18. New Orleans
Deangelo Hall
Will shore up a weak secondary
19. Minnesota
Rashaun Woods
Vikings grab a WR to line up with Randy Moss
20. Miami
JP Losman
Dolphins grab the best QB remaining
21. New England
Dunta Robinson
When you've won the Super Bowl twice in the last 3 years, there isn't much you need to do
22. Dallas
Kevin Jones
Cowboys hope that he will help fans forget Emmitt Smith
23. Seattle
Randy Starks
Seattle adds some depth to their D-Line
24. Denver
Will Smith
Will help alleviate the loss of Berry
25. Green Bay
Vernon Carey
Green Bay can add a QB later in the draft
26. St. Louis
Antwan Odom
St. Louis could also consider moving up to nab Losman
27. Tennessee
Jonathon Vilma
Tennessee has to address the free agency hits they took on defense
28. Philadelphia
Lee Evans
The trade of Thrash means WR becomes a need again for Philly
29. Indianapolis
Marcus Tubbs
Gives Dungy a defensive force on the line
30. Kansas City
Derrick Strait
The Chiefs can score with anyone. Strait should help them keep the other team off the board
31. Carolina
Ben Troupe
Panthers hope Troupe can put them over the top
32. New England
Maurice Clarett
When you are as deep as the Patriots, you can take chances with your draft
