Dr. Z's Mock Draft


Hooper

Recommended Posts

San Diego Chargers

ELI MANNING, QB, Mississippi

There will be trade talk right up to the announcement of the selection, as the Giants try to move up to get this talented gunslinger.

2 Oakland Raiders

ROBERT GALLERY T, Iowa

They need a downfield wideout, such as Roy Williams of Texas, but Gallery is the kind of lineman who comes along once in a decade.

3 Arizona Cardinals

LARRY FITZGERALD, WR, Pittsburgh

New coach Dennis Green says he's happy with young QB Josh McCown, so Arizona goes with the receiver who has the best hands.

4 New York Giants

SEAN TAYLOR, FS, Miami

This is awfully high for a safety to be taken, but Taylor is the type of player -- a hard hitter with speed -- who can light up a defense.

5 Washington Redskins

KELLEN WINSLOW JR., TE, Miami

He's not as big as his Hall of Fame dad was coming out of college, but he's faster and nastier. Joe Gibbs likes to collect tight ends.

6 Detroit Lions

ROY WILLIAMS, WR Texas

They wanted one of these three playmakers: Williams, Winslow or Fitzgerald. The speedy Williams means instant touchdowns.

7 Cleveland Browns

BEN ROETHLISBERGER, QB, Miami (Ohio)

Sure, they signed former 49er Jeff Garcia, but the plan is to let Big Ben learn the trade for a couple of years and then take over.

8 Atlanta Falcons

DEANGELO HALL, CB, Virginia Tech

Upon his arrival new coach Jim Mora Jr. found a depleted secondary. Hall, who's also a skilled return man, should help.

9 Jacksonville Jaguars

KENECHI UDEZE, DE, USC

Though their interior line is set, they need an outside rush. Udeze, a relentless pursuer, is thought to be the best wing man in the draft.

10 Houston Texans

TOMMIE HARRIS, DT, Oklahoma

Gary Walker and Seth Payne were hurt last season, and Houston's defense struggled. Harris will have an instant impact.

11 Pittsburgh Steelers

PHILIP RIVERS, QB, North Carolina State

They were ready to trade up for this deadly accurate passer (72% as a senior), but gambled that he would still be available here.

12 New York Jets

DUNTA ROBINSON, CB, South Carolina

Miami LBs Jonathan Vilma and D.J. Williams are possibilities, but Robinson, a hard-to-find shutdown corner, tops the team's wish list.

13 Buffalo Bills

VINCE WILFORK, DT, Miami

This quick 344-pounder wins at the wire over WR Michael Clayton on the theory that it's easier to find wideouts later in the draft.

14 Chicago Bears

WILL SMITH, DE, Ohio State

You don't often get the second-best outside rusher this deep in the draft. Some think the 6'3" 267-pounder is even faster than Udeze.

15 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

LEE EVANS, WR, Wisconsin

The one element missing from coach Jon Gruden's offense is a swift receiver. How does a game-breaker with 4.40 speed sound?

16 San Francisco 49ers

REGGIE WILLIAMS, WR, Washington

Coach Dennis Erickson is pushing for RB Steven Jackson, but the front office wants help for a receiving corps that lost both starters.

17 Denver Broncos

KEVIN JONES, RB, Virginia Tech

Mike Shanahan traded up hoping this quick 221-pounder would be there. Jones will remove some of the sting from the Clinton Portis deal.

18 New Orleans Saints

D.J. WILLIAMS, LB, Miami

A 250-pounder with 4.55 speed, Williams flies to the ball. That's the kind of speed that Jim Haslett wants to inject into his defense.

19 Minnesota Vikings

JONATHAN VILMA, LB, Miami

He's still here? Grab him. This tackling machine comes from the same school that produced Ray Lewis, Mike Barrow and many more.

20 Miami Dolphins

MICHAEL CLAYTON, WR, LSU

Wideout is not a need position, but this possession wideout would be a nice complement to Chris Chambers and David Boston.

21 Baltimore Ravens

STEVEN JACKSON, RB, Oregon State

They get this pick back from the Pats, then take this slashing 233-pounder as insurance for Jamal Lewis, who is facing drug charges.

22 Dallas Cowboys

SHAWN ANDREWS, T, Arkansas

They've mentioned Michigan RB Chris Perry, so we know who it won't be. With Larry Allen on the decline, Andrews would be ideal.

23 Seattle Seahawks

MICHAEL JENKINS, WR, Ohio State

They could go for defense, but Jenkins, another of those size-speed (6'4", 218 and 4.38) wonder kids, is too inviting to pass up.

24 Cincinnati Bengals

CHRIS PERRY, RB, Michigan

Having shipped Corey Dillon to New England, Cincinnati snaps up the third-highest-rated running back in the draft.

25 Green Bay Packers

BEN TROUPE, TE, Florida

He's not a burner, but he's quick and explosive, and the Pack would like another big guy (6'5", 262) to team with Bubba Franks.

26 St. Louis Rams

BEN WATSON, TE, Georgia

Brandon Manumaleuna is a minimal receiving threat. Enter Watson, who wowed 'em with a 4.50 40 and 34 reps on the bench press.

27 Tennessee Titans

MARCUS TUBBS, DT, Texas

Rated the third-best player in the draft at his position, this sturdy 324-pounder makes up for the loss of Robaire Smith to free agency.

28 Philadelphia Eagles

CHRIS GAMBLE, CB, Ohio State

With both starting cornerbacks gone, Philadelphia goes for a player who can cover but whose tackling isn't NFL quality.

29 Indianapolis Colts

RICARDO COLCLOUGH, CB, Tusculum

They have to find help on defense, so coach Tony Dungy leans toward this corner with exceptional coverage skills from a Division II school.

30 Kansas City Chiefs

TANK JOHNSON, DT, Washington

This lightning-fast finesse rusher beats out the muscle guys: Isaac Sopoaga of Hawaii and Junior Siavii and Igor Olshansky of Oregon.

31 Carolina Panthers

RASHAUN WOODS, WR, Oklahoma State

He's insurance, in case Muhsin Muhammad becomes a salary-cap casualty. Woods is a big guy (6'2", 202) who fights for every ball.

32 New England Patriots

VERNON CAREY, G-T, Miami

They love rookies who can play two positions, and the 6'5", 363-pound Carey is a perfect swingman.

"Joe Gibbs likes to collect TE's", huh? Who exactly has he "collected". Sure he had KWI, but as an asst coach I'm not sure he "collected" him, and can you even name another Chargers TE that Gibbs coached without looking? I sure can't. And as far as being here, I'm not sure that the likes of Don Warren, Clint Didier, Ron Middleton, Terry Orr, and others are significant enough to be called a collection. :laugh:

Hey Dr. Z, the only thing Gibbs collects is rings, baby! :kissmyarse:

I wish I could get a job where I was wrong about 70% of the time.

This is the clown they have on tape saying that the Fins taking Marino was a horrible pick.

Well, at least he is consistant, he's been horrible for a LLOONG TIME!

The Giants will absolutely not take Taylor at #4. Guaranteed.

That's good to hear. They're the ones that worry me. I don't know much about the Giants current personnel situation. Other than the obvious conventional "wisdom" that you don't use a pick this high on a safety, why wouldn't they take Taylor?
