1. Miami- DT Glenn Dorsey, LSU
Is he the best player in the draft, no, but Ronnie Brown was a top 5 pick at RB so I doubt they want another one is McFadden. Dorsey provided a good inside rush and good motor.
2. NYJ- RB Darren McFadden, Arkansas
No way Mangini lets the Patriots get this guy.
3. STL- OT Jake Long, Michigan
Who knows if Orlando Pace comes back after another season ending surgery.
4. NE- DE Chris Long, Virginia
The Hoodie never takes LB so Long makes some depth since. I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up being Jenkins either. Long has a great motor and the production to match.
5. ATL- QB Brian Brohm, Louisville
I guess the obvious pick.
6. Oakland- DE/LB Vernon Gholston, Ohio State
I think Al Davis will fall in love with this guy and his measurables.
7. Cincy- DT Sederick Ellis, USC
Who plays DT for the Bengals?
8. Baltimore- QB Andre Woodson, Kentucky
The McNair era is finally over. And Baltimore rejoices.
9. Kasas City- OT Philip Loadholt, Oklahoma
I went to high school with him and am pretty sure he'll declare.
10. Carolina- S Kenny Philips, Miami
They could use him back there in the secondary.
11. Arizona- CB Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio State
Rolle is solid but the other side leaves alot to be desired.
12. New Orleans- LB James Laurinaitis, Ohio State
They could really use a guy like this in the middle.
13. Buffalo- WR Malcolm Kelly, Oklahoma
Kelly's size compliments Evan's speed.
14. Minny- QB Matt Ryan, Boston College
Personally I think the guy is overrated but Minny needs a better QB than Jackson.
15. Houston- OT Ryan Clady, Boise State
The last time I heard LT for the Texans they had Boselli. Clady should really help this team alot.
16. Philly- WR Desean Jackson, Cal
Gives whoever the QB is a good wr and doubles as a great return guy.
17. Washington- DE Calais Campbell, Miami
My condolences to Sean Taylor family. The NFL lost its best safety.
18. Denver- LB Dan Connor, Penn State
DJ Williams is much better at OLB than MLB. Connor could end being the best LB in this draft.
19. Chicago- OT Michael Oher, Ole Miss
Fred Miller has seen his best days.
20. Tennessee- DE Derrick Harvey, Florida
I think he'll remind the Titans of another Florida DE they picked some years ago who now stinks it up in Philly.
21. San Diego- OT Sam Baker, USC
For a team that is only playing .500 ball I can't think of an obvious need.
22. Detroit- CB Aquib Talib, Kansas
A great athlete who can play both sides of the ball. So Detroit takes a half WR/ and half CB to continue the trend of first round WR.
23. Seattle- RB Jonathan Stewart, Oregon
What happended to Alexander? He's terrible since that contract.
24. Dallas- CB Mike Jenkins, USF
Henry and Newman have both been hurt at some point during this season.
25. Tampa Bay- WR James Hardy, Indiana
Galloway even though he's one of my favorite players in the NFL is getting old. Hardy has size and solid hands. Doucet is overrated too.
26. NYG- LB Keith Rivers, USC
I really like Rivers and think he'll make a great pro.
27. Pittsburgh- OT Jeff Otah, Pittsburgh
Local guy helps the o line.
28. Jacksonville- DE Quentin Groves, Auburn
The DT's are great but a guy like Groves really helps the end rush. Some say Groves is better fit for 3-4 LB but the guy looks terrible in coverage.
29. San Francisco- DB Reggie Smith, Oklahoma
Mark Roman starts at FS, enough said.
30. Green Bay- CB Jack Ikegwuonu, Wisconsin
GB has a great corner duo but both are over 30.
31. Dallas- WR Earl Bennett, Vanderbilt
TO and Glenn are over 32. Crayton is a FA.
32. New England, cheaters lost their pick.

I love how there are picks like Otah and Stewart where talking heads figure it's too obvious not to make the connections and the picks. We'll see where those go come draft day.
Picks I love:
Miami
St. Louis
Nasty 'Nati (their DTs are Domata Peko and John Thornton)
N'awlins
San Diego
Detroit
Dallas
Picks I hate:
New England (A defensive end fourth overall? The Pats' DL isn't THAT bad, is it?)
Oakland (Switch Gholston and Laurinaitis.)
Philly (DeSean Jackson is not even the 32nd best player in this draft.)
Green Bay (Ikegwuonu's lost some luster; I wonder if there's much better value here.)

Its hard to pass of McFadden no doubt, but its also hard to ignore Chris Long. If we were in that case I think the Jets would trade down two picks to grab him and get extra picks. With Thomas Jones and Leon Washington already at RB I cant see us ignore our defense in the first round. Its hard to pass up, especially with the ineffectiveness of our duo this year.
Jazz: Under reconstruction, we'll be back.

No way Mangini lets McFadden go to the Hoodie. I doubt they want to play the guy twice a year too.
As for the Cowboys Mike Jenkins is one of the top CB in the draft and Earl Bennett holds almost every receiving catergory in the SEC. He's very underrated and compares to Marvin Harrison.

Trading a top 5 pick for San Diegos #2 RB would be cazy to do and will not happen. Since NE is low in their cap they will mostly likely not do one of the three: Keep the top five pick, Do not sign Randy Moss, Do not sign Asante Samuel. My money is that they will trade down or just not sign Asante to a deal which he would most likely ask for more than Nate Clements.
