Comments: New Charger GM will bring in a vet to QB the team. He will draft someone for the vet to throw the ball to. None better in the draft than Terrell. (back to top)
Pick 2
chewie79
DT
Richard Seymour
6'5"
295#
4.9
Comments: Michael Vick is tempting, but the Cards have got to stop the run and Seymour is all that and pass rush in the bargain. (back to top)
Pick 3
lange
DE
Justin Smith
6'5"
265#
4.6
Comments: Smith is built like Jeavon Kearse... maybe faster, but not as strong. With Courtney Brown on one end and Smith on the other, getting to the QB won't be a problem for the Browns. (back to top)
Pick 4
egoc
DE
Andre Carter
6'4"
260#
4.78
Comments: The Bengals will give the #2 pick overall from the '99 draft, Akili Smith, one last chance. They'll move here to bolster a weak defense. Carter gives them speed and versatility. (back to top)
Pick 5
bombay
QB
Michael Vick
6'1"
210#
4.44
Comments: The Atlanta brain trust should take no more than 15 seconds to make this pick if Vick falls this far. In Atlanta Vick will have more weapons in place, to cover his inexperience, than he would have gotten in San Diego. (back to top)
Pick 6
buddha
DT
Gerard Warren
6'4"
305#
5.05
Comments: Warren is a mountain with strength enough to be a pass rush threat. Pats will pass on a good RB and a good WR to fill a hole in the defensive middle. Second guessing will rule the day no matter who the Pats pick (back to top)
Pick 7
egoc
DE
Jamal Reynolds
6'3"
260#
4.43
Comments: First and foremost, Mike Holmgren has got to take care of his defense before he can even consider trading away this pick or using it to address a different need. Reynolds will be an impact player for the Seahawks. (back to top)
Pick 8
gallichio
RB
LaDanian Tomlinson
5'10"
210#
4.49
Comments: gallichio, one of the many Texas residents who also happens to be a Packer fan, knows something about TCU's Tomlinson that we don't. The bears get a hard nosed running back with hands. It shouldn't take long for him to displace the butterfingered James Allen. (back to top)
Pick 9
lange
LB
Dan Morgan
6'3"
233#
4.55
Comments: The 9ers could use help at any defensive position. Dan Morgan displays quickness, speed, agressivness and fast recovery. Mariucci will take the best man available and that's Morgan. (back to top)
Pick 10
egoc
WR
Koren Robinson
6'2"
196#
4.35
Comments: Having upgraded his D considerably with pick 7, Holmgren will give himself a treat with an impact receiver. Will challenge anyone in the Seahawks receiving corps. (back to top)
Pick 11
groszozo15
QB
Drew Brees
6'1"
220#
4.85
Comments: Seifert is going to love Drew Brees. If the Carolina receivers can stay out of jail, they should feast on Brees Bombs. He may not begin the season as the starting QB, but he'll be there at the end. (back to top)
Pick 12
bombay
T
Leonard Davis
6'6"
367#
5.29
Comments: Need somebody to pancake Tony Siragusa? Here he is. Nobody pushes Leonard Davis around, though he is susceptible to finesse. Great rush blocker and a QBs best friend. (back to top)
Pick 13
buddha
T
Kenyatta Walker
6'5"
298#
4.95
Comments: Salary cap strapped Jacksonville will see the dismantling of a once great offensive line. Walker may never be as good as Leon Searcy, but he has the potential to be better. The trade off is immediate salary impact. (back to top)
Pick 14
chewie79
RB
Michael Bennett
5'10"
210#
4.25
Comments: Though running back may not be at the top of the Bills list of priorities or needs, Bennett is cut from the Thurman Thomas mold and is considered by most have more potential than any other RB in the draft. (back to top)
Pick 15
gallichio
WR
Chris Chambers
6'1"
208#
4.38
Comments: For want of a decent and dependable reciever, Dan Snyder wasted a fortune last year. This year he'll get the best available and Chris Chambers is the best man on the board. Runs good routes, fast, and not afraid to take it over the middle. HIs hands are a question, though.. (back to top)
Pick 16
lange
CB
Jamar Fletcher
5'10"
170#
4.55
Comments: With Brees off the board, Cowher will want to fall back on the D. Halfway through the first round, he'll take the first and best D back in this year's crop. (back to top)
Pick 17
gallichio
WR
Chad Johnson
6'1"
187#
4.45
Comments: A wide reciever with soft hands will challenge any one of the current Green Bay receivers who suffer too frequently from dropsy. Johnson has all the skills to be an impact player. (back to top)
Pick 18
groszozo15
G
Steve Hutchinson
6'5"
297#
5.2
Comments: For the third consecutive year, the Lions take an offensive lineman in the first round. If they all stay healthy, they could be the premier O line of the future. Great pass blocker.. (back to top)
Pick 19
buddha
WR
Quincy Morgan
6'1"
205#
4.44
Comments: The Jets want somebody who can stretch the field to open things up for Wayne Chrebet. Dedric Ward is not the answer. Morgan might be.. (back to top)
Pick 20
chewi79
CB
Fred Smoot
5'11"
#176
4.44
Comments: There isn't any aspect of the Rams defensive game that doesn't need a big upgrade. Many think Smoot is the best D-back coming out this year. He's definitely the best defensive player available at this point.. (back to top)

Pick 21
bombay
T
Jeff Backus
6'6"
289#
5.08
Comments: The Bucs might just be tempted to get a WR to compliment Keyshawn Johnson. but Jeff Backus will give Shaun King something no receiver can... time. Backus is deceptively fast and obviously strong.. (back to top)
Pick 22
gallichio
DT
Shaun Rogers
6'4"
331#
5.25
Comments: Shaun Rogers is a run stuffer. He will occupy a double team and let Indy's faster DE's pressure the QB. Murder on the inside run.. (back to top)
Pick 23
egoc
WR
Rod Gardner
6'4"
215#
4.51
Comments: Rod Gardner will be the man over the middle. Few teams will be able to let Horn go long, so Gardner will go inside all day long. Woe betide the LB who has to help guard this big, fast receiver. (back to top)
Pick 24
bombay
CB
Nate Clement
6'0"
195#
4.37
Comments: Clement has the wheels to stay with anyone and the size to make it count. The Bronco's gave up too much downfield. Clement can start tomorrow. (back to top)
Pick 25
groszozo15
WR
Santana Moss
5'8"
166#
4.37
Comments: Some question his size. No one doubts his talent. Speed, soft hands, and route running will give Donovan McNabb a legitimate target . (back to top)
Pick 26
lange
TE
Alge Crumpler
6'4"
260#
4.58
Comments: Few think Crumpler is a worthy first rounder, but if Wannstadt wants to give himself a good TE, he's going to have to go high. Notwithstanding, Crumpler is an NFL project.. (back to top)
Pick 27
chewie79
S
Derek Gibson
6'2"
206#
4.38
Comments: Another weak defense getting weaker. Gibson will add some punch to the secondary, however, with speed enough to close and hard nosed tackling. Injury prone QBs had better know where this guy is. (back to top)
Pick 28
egoc
LB
Tommy Polley
6'3"
218#
4.52
Comments: Polley is the best outside linebacker in the draft. If he can pick up some weight he'll upgrade the run defense and is already a good pass defender. (back to top)
Pick 29
gallichio
DT
Marcus Stroud
6'5"
298#
4.98
Comments: Stroud has unusual speed and quickness for a guy so big. Lined up with The Freak, there's going to be a lot of sacking going on in Memphis. Time will tell if Stroud is strong enough to stop the run in a run heavy conference. (back to top)
Pick 30
groszozo15
CB
Andre Dyson
5'11"
174#
4.42
Comments: Dyson has been moving up among CB candidates, likely on the basis of his tenacity and speed. He plays bigger than 5'11" The Super Bowl revealed a flawed and aging secondary. (back to top)
Pick 31
buddha
C
Dominic Raiola
6'2"
295#
5.17
Comments: Baltimore needs to bolster its O line and this young Cornhusker is the best Center in the draft. Not a starter, yet, but, Raiola has very little downside. Quick feet and trench agressiveness. (back to top)
