As The draft gets closer, and teams begin to drop/add players, The mock draft will update. Also we will be adding a news and rumors page. Please let us know what you think at mockdraft2003@hotmail.com # Team Top Needs Pick Reason 33 Cincinnati  DB, OL, Andre Woolfolk, CB, Oklahoma The Bengals got their DT in round 1. Here they may look at an OL to help open holes for Dillon. The Bengals will be hard pressed, though to pass on another defender. 34 Detroit  OL, DB, LB Cory Redding, DE, Texas The Lions grabbed a franchise CB in round 1. Here they may grab a good receiver to give Harrington options. Other possibilities are a young fast LB or even a DE. 35 Houston OL,  WR Willis McGahee, RB, Miami The Texans were hoping to wait another round and about 4 more picks to get their player, but they have coveted Willis McGahee for some time. Most teams have expressed interest in the Miami star, but the Texans are the only team who can afford him this high. 36 Chicago  QB, OL Jon Stinchcomb, OT, Georgia Chicago may grab a run stuffing DT, a mauling OL, or even a pass rushing LB. The cap and free agency have drained these positions as James Williams and Roosevelt Colvin will be gone next year. 37 Dallas  RB, OL George Foster, OT, Georgia Dallas grabbed their pass rushing stud in round 1 and may grab a DB here. Another option is one of the many top guards or tackles that are still available. 38 Houston (from Arizona)  OL,  WR Brett Williams, OT, FSU The Texans will likely grab a defender to play in their 3-4 scheme. They may grab a smaller “tweener” that can play OLB. 39 Minnesota  DL, LB,DB Lynaris Elpheage, CB, Tulane The Vikings overhaul on defense will continue here. They will likely grab a DB or an LB. It’s not unthinkable that a young WR will go here. 40 Jacksonville WR, LB Bradie James, LB, LSU The Jags will probably focus on defense in rounds 2 & 3. Fast agile defenders are on Jack Del Rio’s menu, so an LB or DB is a possibilities here. 41 Carolina QB, WR, Vince Manuwaui, OG, Hawaii The Panthers will look at WR’s here as well as an RB. They again may consider an OL as they are very weak on the line. If a prime defensive player falls the Panthers may strengthen a great defense. 42 Baltimore  QB, DL, OL Bryant Johnson, WR, Penn St. Baltimore may add a WR here, if they haven’t done so already. They were thin last year, but Travis Taylor is coming on strong, but they can still use a young speedster. 43 Seattle  OL, DL Michael Haynes, DE, Penn St. The Seahawks will look at an LB here as Anthony Simmons will leave via free agency. Other options are a DB or OG. 44 St. Louis  OL, LB Angelo Crowell, LB, Virginia The Rams may grab a second OL here as 7 of 8 linemen are free agents this season. They may also need a DB as there are many question marks in the secondary. 45 Washington  WR, DL Ricky Manning Jr, CB, UCLA The Redskins may look to replace Smoot who they traded to Cincy. Darrell Green is gone leaving a big gap on defense. Other options include a DE and an OG. 46 Buffalo RB, LB Dewayne White, DE,  Louisville The Bills may look to a WR here as Josh Reed becomes the #2. That leaves them without a great #3. Their defense can use more help as well, primarily LB and DL. 47 San Diego OL, WR, DB Mike Doss, S, Ohio St. The Chargers will need to replace key vets in the secondary after their cap cuts. If a top DT is on the board that’s an option, but expect a DB here. 48 Kansas City DB, DL, LB Gerald Hayes, LB, Pitt The Chiefs will look at DE’s and LB’s here. If a top DB stands out they may snatch him up, but the smart money says a DE. 49 New Orleans OL, LB, DB Ken Hamlin, S, Arkansas The Saints will look at a DB here. There is a chance that they take another LB or even an OL. 50 Miami  OL, LB, WR Brandon Lloyd, WR, Illinois The Dolphins main need is obviously WR. Chris Carter and Orande Gadsen are likely gone. There is a chance an OL or DL can go here, but it’s almost certain a young WR will be taken here.  51 New England RB, LB Larry Johnson, RB, Penn St. The Patriots will continue to focus on  defense here. There is a chance that a WR can go here as well as an RB, but there has to be a good player that has fallen for that to happen. 52 Denver  DL, DB Tyler Brayton, DE, Colorado The Broncos cut 7 veterans, so they will have to draft well to not feel the ramifications. One need will be a stout DL. If one isn’t available, a young LB is a possibility. 53 Cleveland  OL, DB Ben Johnson, OT, Wisconsin The Browns will look here at LB’s and OL’s. If a top player falls the Browns may snag him regardless of position, but cap cuts may cause a need for an LB. 54 NY Jets  DB, OL Calvin Pace, DT, Wake Forest The Jets may need a FB if both of their FA’s leave. Its too early for a FB, so a DL or DB is likely here.’ 55 Buffalo RB, LB Tony Pashos, OT, Illinois The Bill second pick in round 2 will be a DB to help in a weak spot. After getting burned in the secondary this is a major need. 56 Indianapolis  OL, DB, DL DeJaun Groce, CB, Nebraska The Colts will look at a defensive player here. Chances are it will be a DB or a pass rushing DL. They will lose Mike Peterson to FA so it’s possible to see an LB go. 57 NY Giants  DL, OL Terrance Edwards, WR, Georgia The Giants grabbed an OT in round 1, so a DL here is likely. Other options include a young, fast LB. 58 San Francisco  OL, LB LaMarcus McDonald, LB, TCU The 49ers will invest here in a young OL. With an aging line, they can’t afford to ignore the need for youth. Other options are an LB or WR. 59 Pittsburgh  OL, DB Troy Polamula, S, USC The Steelers may grab an OL here, but another DB isn’t out of the question. Other options include a DL or TE. 60 Tennessee   OL, LB Montrae Holland, OG, FSU The Titans needs will change depending on who they cut to get under the cap. They may look at a TE or even an RB. I am guessing the best chance will be an OL. 61 Green Bay  OL, DL Kevin Williams, DT, Oklahoma St. The Packers may grab an OL here to help with depth, but I will guess a DL will go as they may cut up to 3 veterans at this position. 62 Philadelphia  LB, RB Eric Manning, DT, Oregon St. The Eagles will invest in a DL here. There is a chance they will take a DB if they move Al Harris. Another outside chance has a WR going here. 63 Oakland  DL, DB Clifton Smith, LB, Syracuse Oakland will turn their attention here to defense where it’s likely a DB will be taken. This was a troublesome spot last year, but Woodson and Buchanan should be healthy which will give a little room to draft a DL. 64 Tampa Bay  DB, OL Torrin Tucker, OG, Southern Miss The Bucs may need a center if their all pro -Christy leaves. Look for a center or guard to go here. 65 Cincinnati  DB, OL, Dave Ragone, QB, Louisville The Bengals finally have a good foundation for their secondary. If they keep Takeo Spikes (which they won’t) they will have a great LB/DB lineup. A good DL can make their defense a good contender. 66 Detroit  OL, DB, LB Musa Smith, RB, Georgia The Lions may grab the WR they passed on earlier. Other options include an RB or LB. It’s also possible they will grab another DB. 67 Houston OL,  WR Antwaan Peek, LB, Cincinnati Houston may grab a FB here as well as a DE/LB. The Texans have multiple picks for the next several rounds, so they can afford to gamble here and there. 68 Chicago  QB, OL Eugene Wilson, CB, Illinois The Bears may need to grab a DB to bolster their secondary. Other options include a DT or LB. 69 Dallas  RB, OL Rod Babers, CB, Texas The Cowboys may grab a backup QB here to push Chad Hutchinson. They may also grab a WR to compliment Antonio Bryant. 70 Arizona  QB, WR, RB Kavika Mitchell, LB, South Florida The Cardinals will look at defense here. Possibly a DB or DT. Wendell Bryant and Kyle Van de Bosch will be good this season, and Duane Starks cant do any worse. The defense will be adequate, but can use some young talent. 71 Minnesota  DL, LB, DB Doug Gabriel, WR, Central Florida The Vikings have grabbed a pair of top defensive standouts, so an offensive weapon isn’t out of the question here. It’s likely the best player on the board will go here. 72 Jacksonville WR, LB Derrick Roche, OG, WSU The Jaguars may grab an OL if  no other prospect stands out. The team can use a DB along with a young DE to finish of a great young DL. 73 Dallas (From Carolina) RB, OL Onterrio Smith, RB, Oregon Dallas may invest in the DB they have been looking for. Other options are a young RB and a young LB. 74 Baltimore  OL, DL Sherko Haji-Rasouli, OG, Miami The Ravens will possibly grab a DB here as they may need to add depth. Other options include an OL to give the line needed youth. 75 Seattle  QB, DL, OL Ivan Taylor, CB Louisiana-Lafayette The Seahawks will conclude day one by drafting a DB or another LB. They may look at an OL here too. 76 St. Louis  OL, LB Jeff Faine, C,    Notre Dame The Rams may grab an LB or even another OL depending on their free agent moves. If Ernie Conwell leaves, which is unlikely, they may look at TE’s. 77 Cincinnati (From Washington)  DB, OL, Clint Mitchell, DE, Florida The Bengals final pick on day 1, will likely be an OL. They have done well so far, for their defense. Now things will focus on offense. 78 Buffalo RB, LB Al Johnson, C, Wisconsin  The Bills may look at OL’s here, but I suspect they will continue to grab defensive prospects form here on out, with an occasional offensive backup. 79 San Diego OL, WR, DB Antonio Garay, DE, Boston College The Chargers replaced Harrison with Doss, but still need help on defense. Always a top defense, they can use a DL here. 80X New Orleans OL, LB, DB Jason Witten, TE, Tennessee The Saints will look to supplement their offense with this pick. They may take an OL or even another WR. I am betting they even look at an RB with this pick, if not the following one. 81 New Orleans  OL, LB, DB Dan Klecko, DE, Temple Here the Saints will grab the best player among the for mentioned positions. They will have filled their immediate needs, so this pick could be a number of players. 82 Miami  OL, LB Mario Haggan, LB, Miss. St The Dolphins have few picks this draft, so they need to make each one count. Here I suspect an OL or a young QB. Its also possible to see a DL go. 83XX Houston RB, LB Kindal Moorehead, DE, Alabama The Texans may look at a young QB here to back up David Carr. Other options include an FB, LB/DE, or even a WR. 84 New England  DL, DB Shaun McDonald, WR, Az. St. The Patriots may look back at offense for a WR, but its more likely that they grab a DB here. 85 Denver  OL, DB Sam Rayburn, DT, Tulsa The Broncos will continue to replace the vets they lost. Look for another young DL r LB to go here. 86 Cleveland  DB, OL Lance Briggs, LB, Arizona The Browns will finish day 1 with an LB or DB. I am guessing they will look at an LB as Miller and Rudd may be gone next year. 87 NY Jets DL, WR Drayton Florence, CB, Tuskegee The Jets will look at DB’s and LB’s here. With a solid trio of starters at LB I am guessing they take a DB which is more needy of help. 88XXX Houston  OL, DB, DL Ovie Mughelli, FB, Wake Forest The Texans will call it a day after this pick. Look for them to fill the FB position here if they haven’t done so already. 89 Indianapolis  DL, OL Jimmy Wilkerson, DE, Oklahoma  The Colts will look at a TE here as they sorely missed Ken Dilger. Other possibilities are LB and DL. Chances are they grab a pass rushing DT. 90 NY Giants  OL, LB Anthony Adams, DT, Penn State The Giants will grab a DL here. If they don’t, they may grab a young LB, but DL has a greater need for a young body. 91 San Francisco  OL, DB Mike Kuykendall, OG,  Oregon St. The 49ers will likely grab a DT here. There is a chance they grab a young DB, but their biggest need is on the DL. 92 Pittsburgh   OL, LB Wayne Hunter, OT, Hawaii The Steelers will look here at OL’s and DL’s. They will lose Wayne Gandy and can always use depth on the defensive front. I am guessing their offensive line is their main concern at this point. 93 Tennessee  OL, LB, DE Bam Hardman, LB, Florida The Titans will look at an LB here as there may be a roster spot open. If they pass on an LB look for a DB to get drafted, but they really can use an LB more. 94 Green Bay  LB, RB Charles Tillman, CB, Louisiana-Lafayette The Packers will grab either an LB or DB here. Chances are they fill their DB need via free agency so look for an LB to go here. 95 Philadelphia  DL, DB Korey Banks, CB, Miss. St. The Eagles may look to fill offensive needs here. Although they have no glaring needs they can use a OL or TE due to Chad Lewis lack of production the past 2 years. 96 Oakland  DL, DB Shalimar Jackson, OG, New Mexico State The Raiders will finish of their 1st day looking to fill the void they will have after cutting ties with Barrett Robins. There is a chance they will keep Robbins, but either way they need help on the OL.
