http://www.lsujersey.net/images/jamarcusrussell1.jpg
The Raiders need a talented QB to get the ball in the hands of their playmakers.

2 Detroit Lions Brady Quinn QB Notre Dame
http://alumni.nd.edu/~ndc_memp/images/Brady1_002.jpg
Kitna is old, so Detroit needs to find a talented QB to get the ball to their playmakers

3 Cleveland Browns Adrian Peterson RB Oklahoma
http://www.pe.com/imagesdaily/2005/09-15/0915adrian_peterson_300.jpg
Need a good running attack to go with their passing attack

4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech
http://www.sundaypaper.com/Portals/0/051406images/Sports_Calvin-Johnson-1.jpg
Need a WR of the future, and Calvin Johnson is a beast, to provide a target for their two average QBs.

5 Arizona Cardinals Joe Thomas OT Wisconsin
http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/28/281718.jpg
Their offensive line couldn't get edgerrin james out of the backfield, they need some support

6 Washington Redskins Alan Branch DT Michigan
http://www.mikedesimone.com/m05/ohiostate/dn19.jpg
Washington was ran on a lot, and tiki barber got over 200 yards, they need a brick wall in the middle

7 Minnesota Vikings Dwayne Jarrett WR USC
http://www.kgw.com/sports/stories/L_IMAGE.105fcd830c3.93.88.fa.7c.961a6f76.jpg
Vikings are going to lose Johnson and their two backups are average, they need a good target for them

8 Houston Texans Reggie Nelson S/CB Florida
http://onlineathens.com/images/101305/22985_256.jpg
Nelson could play CB or S, he stood out in the nation's best defense, they need a playmaker, besides Dunta, in the secondary

9 Miami Dolphins Levi Brown OT Penn State
http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2006/04/04-21-06tdc/04-21-06dsports-05b.jpg
Miami Let up a huge amount of sacks and culpepper got injured, they need some support and a health insurance plan for Daunte

10 Atlanta Falcons Amobie Okoye DT Louisville
http://media.scout.com/media/image/35/356614.jpg
Okoye is a young, talented DT, The falcons got their DEs, they just need a run stopper and a pass rusher from the middle, hes got both.

11 San Francisco 49ers Gaines Adams DE Clemson
http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w182/E-A-G-L-E-S5/gaines.jpg
Gaines Adams is questionably the best defensive player in the draft, San Francisco has their probowl corner, their linebackers, and safeties, they need a tenacious pass rusher, he is very similar to Jason Taylor

12 Buffalo Bills Lawrence Timmons OLB FSU
http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/fsu/sports/m-footbl/auto_action/495059.jpeg
Timmons is a solid linebacker, they need a potential starter and depth at linebacker after their injuries last year

13 St. Louis Rams Patrick Willis ILB Ole' Miss
http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/ole/sports/m-footbl/auto_action/335601.jpeg
Willis is a tough player, Rams need a fast, tall, instinctive playmaking MLB

14 Carolina Panthers Laron Landry S LSU
http://images.athlonsports.com/d/863-1/LSU-Landry.jpg
Landry is a great safety and can help their secondary and prevent things like the Colston incident from happening

15 Pittsburg Steelers Jamal Anderson DE Arkansas
http://www.nwanews.com/images/photosoftheday/20051122whs.jpg
Anderson is a power end and could convert to a OLB much like DeMarcus Ware, suits their defense

16 Green Bay Packers Sidney Rice WR South Carolina
http://espn-att.starwave.com/photo/2006/0424/nfl_g_rice_412.jpg
Rice is a fast, tall, long-armed WR who had two different QBs throwing him the ball, he can provide a target to Favre, replace Driver after he retires, and when rogers starts, become his main man

17 Jaxonville Jaguars Michael Griffin S Texas
https://shop.dispatch.com/Products/PhotoShop/medium/2006osutexas40.jpg
Cincinnati needs to improve their secondary and get a hard-hitting saftey/playmaker to stop manning, griffin is the guy for that

18 Cincinnati Bengals Leon Hall CB Michigan
http://images.nfl.com/photos/img9678019.jpg
Bengals have Joseph and O'Neal, but they need another corner to defend the pass cause they got picked apart by manning and O'neal is getting kind of old not to mention both got into trouble with the law.

19 Tennessee Titans Ted Ginn Jr. WR Ohio St.
http://media.collegepublisher.com/media/paper333/stills/6362jk8k.jpg
Vince Young is amazing, but he might need a WR to get yards after the catch so he doesn't have to run all the time, ginn is a playmaker and great kick returner, the Jones-Ginn duo will frighten every team the titans face.

20 New York Giants Marshawn Lynch RB Cal
http://images.athlonsports.com/d/2170-1/Cal_Cover_NEW.jpg
Giants need a speedy, shifty RB to take tiki's place and tandem with Jacobs, Lynch showed a lot of productivity and shared carries while in college, they need a home run hitter and break away threat in the run game

21 Denver Broncos Adam Carriker DE Nebraska
http://www.draftdaddy.com/images/players/adamCarriker_side.jpg
Carriker improved his stock in the senior bowl, and the Broncos can vastly improve their run defense and pass rush with a gigantic monster on the edge

22 Dallas Cowboys Justin Blalock OG Texas
http://www.mackbrown-texasfootball.com/image_lib/blalock_justin_081805_300.jpg
Dallas had trouble with protection, Romo is still playing like a rookie, and had a bad pro bowl, which he shouldn't have been in, they need protection.

23 Kansas City Chiefs Robert Meachem WR Tennessee
http://www.absolutepigskin.com/images/articleimages/AbbyPigArticles/meachemtennesseeWR.jpg
Kansas City relied too much on L.J., he broke the amount of rushing attempts in a single season in the NFL, they need another target on the outside

24 New England Patriots Dwayne Bowe WR LSU
http://images.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/_photos/2005-11-13-inside-bowe.jpg
New England could've went to the Super Bowl, They need a better WR and Troy Brown is getting old

25 New York Jets Darrelle Revis CB Pitt
http://graphics.fansonly.com/confs/bige/graphics/footbl-pitt-preview.jpg
Revis could be the first CB taken in the draft, the jets take a steal and get a corner opposite Miller to improve their secondary

26 Philadelphia Eagles Paul Posluszny OLB/ILB Penn State
http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2004/11/11-22-04tdc/11-22-04dsports-11b.jpg
Poslusny can play all three linebacker positions

27 New Orleans Saints Chris Houston CB Arkansas
http://www.laketravis.com/ctpwa_chrishouston.jpg
Saints take Houston an improve their old secondary with a ball hawk at corner

28 New England Patriots Daymeion Hughes CB Cal
http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/cal/sports/m-footbl/auto_action/211567.jpeg
Patriots pick up a corner in case Samuel leaves and to allow Brown a breather and not have to play DB

29 Baltimore Ravens Jarvis Moss DE Florida
http://www.gatorzone.com/football/images/sun29/1127606939.jpg
Ravens pick up Adalius Thomas's clone who murdered Ohio state's offensive line

30 San Diego Chargers Arron Sears OT/OG Tennessee
http://www.netitor.com/photos/schools/tenn/sports/m-footbl/05-06action/a-sears_1603.jpg
Chargers give Rivers more protection and Tomlison more space and insure that he breaks the rushing record

31 Chicago Bears Ben Grubbs OG Auburn
http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/26/266707.jpg
Bears need a lineman to protect Grossman and preventing him from turning over the ball 5 times a game

32 Indianapolis Colts DeMarcus Tyler DT NC State
http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/ncst/sports/m-footbl/auto_action/86862.jpeg

[RaiderNation]

and tell who are our playmakers??? moss isnt, he doesnt try,porter mayb if he gets his attitude right and jordan sucks and tore his mcl. we NEED playmakers. thats why CJ and AD are a better pick. i like ur 2nd round pick for us

[disgruntledjetsfan]

I like the first Jets pick with Revis, I think he has the potential to be a shutdown corner in the future. I think Alexander might be an ok pick there, but I'd rather have a 3-4 DE there. I don't know too much about Hill, and I think that's too early for us to take a WR unless we get a real steal.

11 San Francisco 49ers Gaines Adams DE Clemson
http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w182/E-A-G-L-E-S5/gaines.jpg
Gaines Adams is questionably the best defensive player in the draft, San Francisco has their probowl corner, their linebackers, and safeties, they need a tenacious pass rusher, he is very similar to Sean Taylor

Would you mind telling me in what ways are Gaines Adams similar to Sean Taylor?

[ninerfan]

to answer your question: Landry

[KCJ58]

Hate the Rams pick rather See Willis, Landry, Anderson, then Poz great 2nd round pick :D

[bucknut12]

Horrible 1st round pick. If Ross is there we take him.

[ckr50702]

I think the draft was good overall except for when you put Griffin at #17 and you didn't even have Blalock on your draft. He will most likely go in round 1.

[Geo]

Christmas apparently came early for Big Blue.

[TNewFan41]

buster davis is not a 3-4 lb he is WAY too small. and we don't value OL AS 1ST ROUND TALENT!

[Beans]

Calvin's great, but Stanton is an awful pick, especially at the top of round 2, and Bennet's kinda 'eh'.

[Epfootball50]

terrible packers pick if we would take a WR we would take Ginn for his speed not rice.

[bucknut12]

buster davis is not a 3-4 lb he is WAY too small. and we don't value OL AS 1ST ROUND TALENT!And whens the last time you guys won a playoff game?

Time to change things.

[Im_a_Romosexual]

buster davis is not a 3-4 lb he is WAY too small. and we don't value OL AS 1ST ROUND TALENT!And whens the last time you guys won a playoff game?

Time to change things.

When was the last time the 'aints won any championships? let me think never! congrats on having ONE good year and BTW his assesment of the draft was 100% correct

[PalmerToCJ]

Nice position pick for the Bengals in the 1st but Revis is a better fit given his speed/PR abilities.

In the 2nd it would just be better if you let Beason fall back one more spot :lol:

[asmitty45]

Like the Lions Mock but i think 16 is way too high for Sidney Rice

[GermanSaint]

dont like the saints draft . give us ross in round 1 and blades in round two

[matts22]

At first glance the Chiefs draft is ok, but I'd a lot rather have Patrick Willis in the first.

[Caddy]

Bucs draft is average

[Finsfan79]

no way miami passes up gaines adams if he falls.

if you flip them then it would better.

[NY+Giants=NYG]

No need for Lynch. If we go RB in the first round, we can do that next year, where there will be alot more options. Lynch would be a waste of a pick.

[LB51]

Sry, I meant jason taylor, Blalock is in my draft, lynch is not a wasted pick, he and jacobs will work well together, and just about every team who made the playoffs had a two-back system, no LB will fall that low that suits our needs, don't really need an OL in the first, try to say anything after that. And Miami gave up the most sacks and had almost two QBs injured, they need an OL

[ftbl88]

Great first round pick for the Eagles, but I doubt he would be there though. Horrible second round pick. Brian Leonard, S or DE would be the pick in that scenario, with no particular preference.
