mhd24 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 franchise players. (*projected trade) Dr. Z's Mock First Round Pick Team Pos. Player College 1) 49ers: QB ALEX SMITH Utah Cal's Aaron Rodgers has the stronger arm, but new coach Mike Nolan loves Smith's feel for the game and his leadership. 2) Bucs: RB RONNIE BROWN* Auburn Coach Jon Gruden says the speedy, 233-pound Brown "has the best hands in the draft" and sees him catching 80 balls. 3) Browns: WR BRAYLON EDWARDS Michigan Edwards runs a 4.45 and at the combine did 22 reps in the bench press -- equal to or better than half the offensive tackles. 4) Bears: RB CARNELL WILLIAMS Auburn They like Cadillac's burst and explosiveness, though they could switch to Cedric Benson, the last of the Big Three backs. 5) Miami: QB AARON RODGERS* California What's the bigger need, RB or QB? Some in Miami say Rodgers is too good to pass up. Others favor Brown. 6) Titans: CB ADAM (PAC-MAN) JONES West Virginia Antrel Rolle was the favored corner for a while, but now the edge goes to the 5'9 1/2" Jones and his 4.41 speed. 7) Vikings: WR MIKE WILLIAMS USC He won't dominate downfield like Randy Moss, but he's bigger (6'5", 230). The year off hasn't diminished his value. 8) Cardinals: RB CEDRIC BENSON Texas Dennis Green says he'll take "whichever of the Big Three is left," but he'll take Rolle if he can acquire the Bills' Travis Henry. 9) Redskins: CB ANTREL ROLLE Miami After losing a starting cornerback each of the last two years, Joe Gibbs is looking to add a DB. 10) Lions: OLB DERRICK JOHNSON Texas Still trying to get faster on defense, Detroit picks up an open-side linebacker who flies to the ball with 4.50 speed. 11) Cowboys: DE-OLB DEMARCUS WARE Troy Perfect guy for a unit that was next to last in the NFC in sacks in '04 and hasn't had a double-digit sacker in nine years. 12) Chargers: DE-OLB SHAWNE MERRIMAN Maryland With its two first-rounders, San Diego wants a defensive lineman and a wideout. DE Marcus Spears is the second option. 13) Texans: T ALEX BARRON Florida State Wow, not a single offensive lineman among the first 12 picks. The 6'7 1/2" Barron has the longest arms in the draft. 14) Carolina: WR TROY WILLIAMSON South Carolina With Muhsin Muhammad gone, in comes Williamson, a player with 4.32 speed who averaged 19.3 yards a catch. 15) KC: S THOMAS DAVIS Georgia Tech "I know, 15th is awful high for a safety," Dick Vermeil says, "but this guy can do so many amazing things, I can't pass him up." 16) Saints: CB CARLOS ROGERS Auburn They're happy with their front seven. The secondary's the problem, and Rogers offers a quick cure. 17) Bengals: DE ERASMUS JAMES Wisconsin They'll be saying, "Never in our wildest dreams did we think the Number 1 defensive player on our board would still be there." 18) Vikings: DE-LB DAVID POLLACK Georgia Mike Tice will find a place for this fiery competitor, whom scouts project as an inside 'backer. 19) Rams: T JAMMAL BROWN Oklahoma They might be willing to trade up for the man they consider the top O-lineman in the draft, and they just might have to. 20) Cowboys: DE MARCUS SPEARS LSU With an outside rusher now on board, they grab a 307-pound power end. His motor might need a little cranking, though. 21) Jaguars: TE HEATH MILLER Virginia They got pass rushers in free agency. Now they get a target for Byron Leftwich. One negative: recent sports hernia surgery. 22) Ravens: WR MARK CLAYTON Oklahoma Heartbroken Ozzie Newsome wanted Jammal Brown. Cheer up, Ozzie. Everyone thought Clayton would be gone too. 23) Seattle: DE DAN CODY Oklahoma There are concerns he may be too intense, but the upside is huge and he's a great competitor. 24) Packers: DE-DT SHAUN CODY USC The defense needs major help, and the 293-pound Cody, who can play end or tackle, is a good place to start. 25) Broncos: CB FABIAN WASHINGTON Nebraska They lost a corner, so they're only too glad to get this blazing cover guy, one of three sub-4.30 men at the combine. 26) Jets: NT LUIS CASTILLO Northwestern He tested positive for andro at the combine, but the scouts say he's a good guy who made a mistake. 27) Falcons: WR RODDY WHITE Alabama-Birmingham A muscular late bloomer who has shot up the board. "Seems like we always take wideouts early," Jim Mora says. 28) Chargers: T KHALIF BARNES Washington The plan was to take a wideout, but one of the three best O-linemen is still there? Better grab this athletic 305-pounder. 29) Colts: DT TRAVIS JOHNSON Florida State The defense was aggressive last year but got shoved around. This 296-pound run-stopper will give Indy some ballast. 30) Steelers: T MARCUS JOHNSON Mississippi Right tackle Oliver Ross was lost in free agency, so why not pick up an agile 310-pounder who can block on the go? 31) Eagles: DE MATT ROTH Iowa With the departure of Derrick Burgess, Roth, an explosive 278-pounder, seems like a natural here. 32) Patriots: FS BRODNEY POOL Oklahoma The secondary was a shambles for most of last season. Pool is brainy and versatile. Issue date: April 25, 2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Montana Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 11) Cowboys: DE-OLB DEMARCUS WARE Troy Troy, eh? A draft day surprise for Parcells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotInOurHouse Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 i think we can trade down and get rogers in the 13-17 range...that way we can get a wr that slips in the second which we would acquire...white/mathis/jackson/jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfbovey Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Originally posted by canes/skins i love our pick. rolle is a perfect fit for us.:wewantd: I disagree. I think he'll be the least effective out of the top 3 corners in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 ugh. Is it Sunday yet? :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Originally posted by dfbovey I disagree. I think he'll be the least effective out of the top 3 corners in this draft. I think Rolle will turn out to be a headcase and another Phillip Buchanon. Id prefer Rogers or Pacman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
