1
Aaron Rodgers
(QB) Cal The Dolphins are likely to start over from scratch after the season; they get the best QB in the draft to build with.
2
Cedric Benson
(RB) Texas The Buccaneers have been looking for an every down back for years. Benson has been overly productive as a 4-year starter.
3
*Rodrique Wright
(DT) Texas The 49ers are rebuilding, and the best place to start is in the trenches. Wright is a dual threat tackle who can stop the run and rush the pass.
4
Antrel Rolle
(CB) Miami (Fl) Deltha O'Neal and Tory James have not proven to be the corners Marvin Lewis needs to win.
5
From Bills
Derrick Johnson
(OLB) Texas Coach Parcells and owner Jerry Jones jump all over this instate prodigy. Johnson has the makings of a Derrick Brooks type 'backer.
6
*Mike Williams
(WR) USC A year late, but Williams makes it into the draft and is taken ahead of some top defenders. The Chiefs offense lacks a real go-to threat, Williams can be that guy.
7
David Pollack
(DE) Georgia Pollack has shown again this season why he's the best end in college.
8
Alex Barron
(OT) Florida State Teamed with free agent acquisition John Tait, Barron will solidify the Bears offensive line.
9
Braylon Edwards
(WR) Michigan Edwards will step right in and fill the role of the deep threat opposite Steve Smith.
10
Marlin Jackson
(CB) Michigan The Saints have been ignoring the corner position for too long.
11
*Haloti Ngata
(DT) Oregon The Redskins grab this huge tackle to lock up blockers for LaVar Arrington.
12
*Chris Henry
(WR) West Virginia The Titans passed up Randy Moss once for Kevin Dyson; they won't make the same mistake twice.
13
*Thomas Davis
(S) Georgia The Packers lack a hard-hitting defender in the secondary. Assuming they get Drew Brees in the off season, Davis is the force they need in the defensive backfield.
14
Kyle Orton
(QB) Purdue With Rich Gannon retiring and Kerry Collins falling apart, the Raiders look to the future with Kyle Orton.
15
Carnell Williams
(RB) Auburn The Cowboys decide they let too many good backs pass them by last year and grab one who many people feel is the best in this class.
16
*Marcus McNeil
(OT) Auburn Grabbing McNeil completes the much-improved Houston line. With even more time, Carr will be deadly.
17
Corey Webster
(CB) LSU The Browns have to realize that if they want to win, they are going to have to stop people from scoring on them. Grabbing an offensive lineman here wouldn't be bad either.
18
Jammal Brown
(OT) Oklahoma The Chargers are on the rise, but they need to improve their line first.
19
*Abdul Hodge
(ILB) Iowa Ed Hartwell may not be brought back this off-season; Hodge could step in from day one and not miss a beat.
20
Jonathan Scott
(OT) Texas Walter Jones is eventually going to get tired of being franchised every year.
21
*Heath Miller
(TE) Virginia One thing that Mooch always had in San Francisco was a sure handed TE.
22
Michael Munoz
(OT) Tennessee The Rams have lost Kyle Turley and Orlando Pace has looked bad this year. Munoz could replace for either.
23
*Mathias Kiwanuka
(DE) Boston College It's no secret that the Jags will be targeting a pass rusher. They get a good one here.
24 Anttaj Hawthorne
(DT) Wisconsin The Vikings have not been happy with Chris Hovan and may look to replace him this off season.
25
From Giants Marcus Spears
(DE) LSU In Spears the Chargers get a versatile end that could play in both the 3-4 and the 4-3.
26 *Justin Miller
(CB) Clemson The Colts land an exciting corner and return man here.
27 Cro Thorpe
(WR) Florida State Plaxico Burress may or may not be back next season. Thorpe has the speed to beat corners deep, he falls because of his inconsistencies.
28 *Daryl Blackstock
(OLB) Virginia The Broncos are still trying to replace Ian Gold on the outside; they do better by getting Blackstock.
29 **Darnell Bing
(S) USC Bing uses the Larry Fitzgerald rule to get into the draft and the Falcons are thankful. Bing plays like a modern day Ronnie Lott.
30 Fabian Washington
(CB) Nebraska The Jets need speed in the secondary and find just that with Washington.
31 Mark Clayton
(WR) Oklahoma Clayton may be the most complete WR in this class, but falls to the Patriots because he is only 5'11.
32 Wesley Britt
(OT) Alabama Getting a possible franchise tackle at the end of the first round is a great way to start.

36
Carlos Rogers
(CB) Auburn Losing Antoine Winfield hurt more than they let on and they must hurry to replace him.

38
Andrew Walter
(QB) Arizona State The Cardinals are thrilled that Walter slide this far and take the local boy to lead their team.
39
Geoff McArthur
(WR) Cal McArthur hasn’t matched his 2003 production, but he is a very smart receiver that will thrive in an Isaac Bruce like role here.

Rob Petetti
(OT) Pittsburgh The Panthers gambled with their offensive line this season and lost, they have to find durable blockers.
41
Donte Nicholson
(S) Oklahoma The Bengals continue to try and fix a terrible defense.
42
From
Redskins
Kevin Burnett
(OLB) Tennessee Burnett provides the Saints with a talented linebacker who can play anywhere he's needed.

44
From
Saints
Dan Cody

46

51
Kirk Morrison
(ILB) San Diego State The Seahawks defense has been overachieving and they need to plug a consistent linebacker into the middle.
52
Bill Swancutt
(DE) Oregon State Swancutt made a name for himself in the LSU game and has shown a non-stop motor and good speed.
53
Anthony Alabi
(OT) TCU After missing on Orlando Brown, the Ravens need to bring in a RT for the future.
54
J.R. Russell
(WR) Louisville The Jags cannot expect Jimmy Smith to play forever.
55
Kevin Everett
(TE) Miami (Fl) The one thing the Rams are missing on offense, a tight end.
56 C.J. Brooks
(OG) Maryland Chris Snee has been a pleasant surprise, but the Giants must solidify the other side of the center too.
57 Cedric Houston
(RB) Tennessee What does the future hold for the Colts and Edgerrin James?
58 James Butler
(S) Georgia Tech The Vikings secondary has been playing well, but they can’t expect these guys to play above their ability forever.
