Houston |
Reggie
Bush, Tailback, Southern
California: The consensus best overall prospect
in the draft, Reggie Bush
has unbelievable abilities and is a once every 20 years type athlete. He has now
posted the lowest DQI rating of all time for the 2nd straight mock.
The most consensus number one in years. The only
question will be durability in the NFL.
D'Brickashaw Ferguson would be a perfect fit for the Texans, but
would their fans accept passing on Bush? This spot looks to be
traded. |

New
Orleans |
 D'Brickashaw Ferguson,
OL, Virginia: Ferguson could anchor the left side of any line for years to come, plus he has a
really cool name for an
Offensive lineman. It's not very often that an offensive tackle as dominating as
Ferguson comes along. It would be intriguing to see Reggie Bush in Louisiana
with Drew Brees and Joe Horn that could be a monster offense. |

Tennessee |
 Matt
Leinart, QB, Southern
California: He would
have been the first player
picked in last year's draft.
He's still a top 5 pick. Now he gets to
reunite with Norm Chow. The guy just wins football games. Matt is a very refined QB
due to his admirable decision to come back his senior season even though he
probably would've been the #1 overall pick over Alex Smith last year |

NY
Jets |
Jay Cutler, QB, Vanderbuilt: 2005 SEC Offensive Player of the Year as well as 2005
SEC Player of the Year. Super smart with a big body as well as
being very mobile and has great field awareness. Really moving
up now, can he keep this momentum through the draft?

Green Bay |
A.J. Hawk, LB, Ohio
State: LB, Ohio
State: He has the size and speed
teams like. Possibly
the years best defensive
playmaker. One of those
players who seems to be
everywhere when you watch
him play. Helped himself a ton at the combine. All the appearances of a
future superstar. |
3.943 |
|
6 |
San
Francisco |
Mario Williams, DE, NC State (Jr.): Outstanding speed off the
edge. The best pass rushing end coming out, he has been a starter since he
stepped on campus as a freshman. At 6'7 and 280 pounds
Williams can play on the end or on the inside as a tackle. Although with his
quickness he most likely will be an end in the NFL. |
4.000 |
|
7 |
Oakland |
Vince Young,
QB, Texas (Jr):
Vince is dropping as fast as he rose after the Rose Bowl. The questions
about his Wonderlic continue and the accusations of special treatment aren't
helping matters any. The Raiders have a young qb they like though so he
could continue to drop some feel as far as 10. |
5.886 |
|
8 |
Buffalo |
Haloti Ngata,
DT, Oregon (Jr.): Ngata has a powerful
build and can be a run stuffer
on the next level. He also
has some quickness to collapse
the pocket. Coaches at Oregon have said Ngata was the best defensive player to
ever come through the program. |
6.457 |
|
9 |
Detroit |
Michael Huff, FS, Texas: Huff is a big hitter,
but he's also good in coverage.
The 2005 Thorpe Award winner as the nation's top defensive back. Huff is one of
the more versatile defensive backs in the draft. He has experience at both
safety and corner. Huff has the size and speed to eventually be a perennial pro
bowler in the NFL. Amazing 4.32 40 at the combine. |
6.571 |
|
10 |
Arizona |
Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland
(Jr.):
Good size and soft
hands. Davis rewrote every record book in the weight room at
Maryland and has a great work ethic. He has all the talent that
cannot be taught with tons of potential. Davis ran a 4.38 in the 40
yard dash and displayed an impressive 42 inch vertical leap while at the
combines. At 6'4, 228, Davis has the athleticism of a WR. |
7.400 |
|
11 |
St. Louis |
Jimmy Williams, CB, Virginia Tech: Played
safety early in his career
at Tech, but he is a highly
athletic corner. Williams is a
6'3 corner. Williams is a very physical player who knows how to use his body to
his advantage. Williams is as ferocious of a hitter as they come and will match
up well against today's taller receivers. |
10.457 |
|
12 |
Cleveland |
Winston Justice, OT, USC (Jr.):
Winston Justice, the quickest OT in a draft
full of talented offensive linemen. Justice started on the Trojans
line as a freshman to tell you just how good he is. |
13.486 |
|
13 |
Baltimore |
Brodrick Bunkley, DT, Florida State:
Brodrick Bunkley has the great size you look for, but he can play
soft at times. Not much of an attacker, but Bunkley impressed
coaches with his strength at the combine by doing 44 consecutive reps of 225
pounds on the bench press. Coaches said that Bunkley was in incredible shape for
the combine.
|
15.143 |

14 |
Philadelphia |
Santonio Holmes, WR, Ohio State (JR):
Possesses excellent deep speed with very good hands. He can also be
a major player in the return game at the next level. At
5'11 he is a little undersized, but unlike most rookies his crisp
route running and cuts will allow him to succeed at the NFL level.
|
15.257 |
|
15 |
Denver |
Chad Jackson, WR, Florida: physical receiver with tons of upside. Chad Jackson finished the
2005 regular season leading the SEC with 81 total receptions. He
also finished third with 824 receiving yards. |
16.057 |
|
16 |
Miami |
Chad Greenway, OLB, Iowa: This former
high school quarterback
has developed into one of
the best defensive players
in the country while at
Iowa. At 6-4, 239 pounds,
he is relentless in his
pursuit of the ball.
Very fast, with playmaking
ability his downside is strength is
an issue after the combine. Greenway could only do 16 reps on the bench at the
combine. His 40 time of 4.74 wasn't very impressive either. Before the combine
many felt Greenway was a top 15 talent if he doesn't improve at his pro day he
will drop further still. |
16.143 |
|
17 |
Minnesota |
DeAngelo
Williams, RB, Memphis:
An explosive runner with good size and the
ability to make people miss. Williams is in the Ronnie Brown-Carnell
Williams class. Williams led the nation in rushing yards in 2005
with 1959 yards. He also had 18 rushing TD's to go along with 22
rushing TD's in 2004. He can have a big year in Baltimore as a
rookie. DeAngelo had a great Senior Bowl week that solidified him as
the second back off the board. |
16.543 |
|
18 |
Dallas |
Jonathon Scott, OT, Texas: Scott is very experienced (RS Senior) and
athletic tackle. He has ideal size and moves well for his big frame.
Scott has started since his freshman year and excels in both the run
and pass game. |
16.714 |
|
19 |
San Diego |
Tye Hill, CB, Clemson:
His incredible potential has been verified over the past two years
with back-to-back most improved player awards in his only two years
playing defensive back.
Tye Hill also had
a very impressive Senior Bowl week. The Chargers have a greater need
at safety, but after Huff and Williams are gone they will go with
the next best defensive back in the draft. |
16.971 |
|
20 |
Kansas
City |
Tamba Hali, DE, Penn State:
Hali has a very impressive repertoire of moves he uses on the line.
Hali has started since his freshman year, so he could be the most
polished DE in the entire draft with his experience. Hali finished
the 2005 season with 11 sacks and 17 TFL. He is a natural athlete with good size and speed to match up
at the next level. |
17.229 |
|
21 |
New
England |
Ashton
Youbouty, CB, Ohio State: Ashton Youboty is the next best available corner in the draft after
Tye Hill.
|
17.272 |
|
22 |
Denver fromWas. |
LenDale White, RB, USC (Jr.):
He has a great combination of size and speed, and pass catching
ability. His great vision, speed, and size will take him far in the
league. The best pro style back in the draft. |
17.455 |
|
23 |
Tampa Bay |
Marcus McNeil, T, Auburn: A massive left tackle at 6-9, 335
pounds, McNeil has all the tools to be a Pro Bowl player. McNeil
is enormous at 6'9. His wingspan makes up for his very average lateral movement.
McNeil showed flashes of brilliance during the 2005 season for the Tigers |
17.500 |
|
24 |
Cincinnati
|
Gabe
Watson, DT, Michigan: Watson is a big, strong tackle with good
straight line speed for a big man. However, coaches constantly have
to try to motivate him to play at his highest potential. Has a
tendency to get high. |
17.551 |
|
25 |
NY
Giants |
Ernie
Sims, LB, Florida State
(Jr.):
Ernie Sims started all 13
games for the Seminoles in 2005. He finished the season with 72
tackles, 2.5 sacks, and 10 TFL. Ernie has a knack for being a
disruption in the backfield. Sims said he plans on returning to
Tallahassee to take classes in order to complete graduation. |
17.710 |
|
26 |
Chicago |
Marcedes Lewis, TE, UCLA: He's the next
great receiving tight end
to enter the draft. Lewis
will become an 80-catch
player for whoever takes
him. |
18.133 |
|
27 |
Carolina |
Leonard
Pope, TE, UCLA (Jr.): A huge target with great hands. Pope ran a respectable
4.62 in the 40 yard dash at the combine. Most GM's and scouts feel that Pope is
a lock to be the second TE off the board |
18.167 |
|
28 |
Jacksonville |
Ahmad Brooks, LB, Virginia (Jr.):
LB out of Virginia. 6'4" 260 pounds. Couldn't design a better
looking LB. Fearless. Vicious. Fast and highly athletic. Has the
potential to be one of the greats some day. |
19.500 |
|
29 |
NY
Jets |
Mathias Kiwanuka, DE,
Boston College: Maybe the best pure pass rusher in the draft. Physical freak
who runs a 4.6 40. Kiwanuka's strength is his ability to get to the quarterback. Kiwi finished the 2005 season with
49 tackles while leading BC with 9.5 quarterback sacks and 15.5 TFL. He set a BC
school record with 37.5 career sacks. |
20.486 |
|
30 |
Indianapolis |
Laurence Maroney,
RB, Minnesota: Maroney has a very good combination of speed and power,
running with good pad level, making his way through the line, then
exploding down field with breakaway speed. A great find to try to
replace the Edge. |
20.510 |
|
31 |
Seattle |
Max
Jean-Gilles, OG/OT, Georgia: Max Jean-Gilles was the anchor of a very good
Georgia offensive line in 2005. Jean-Gilles is a dominating run blocker. Played
OT his Sophomore and Junior years so he is somewhat versatile. |
20.620 |
|
32 |
Pittsburgh |
Sinorice
Moss,
WR, Miami (FL): Santana's younger brother Sinorice is a big play threat who
can take it the distance from anywhere and at any time. He is slightly
built though which could hold him back. |
23.655 |
Other Players to keep your eyes on in the first round:
DeMeco
Ryans, LB, Alabama: His strengths are
dropping back into coverage, running well with running backs and
tight ends although he can play the run as well. Very well
rounded player
Ko
Simpson, S, South Carolina (Soph.): This is quite a reach,
Simpson although a Sophomore will be 23 years old so is not as young
as you might think. Always around the action and has a nose for the
ball good workouts have raised his stock quite a bit.
Claude Wroten, DT, Louisiana State:
Undersized but intense, Wroten’s performance throughout his senior
year has vaulted him into discussion of being a first-round pick.
Rodrique Wright, DT, Texas:
Wright will be the top DT prospect available.
Darnell Bing, S, USC:
Prototypical size for an NFL safety, with very, very good speed and
hitting power to complement it.
Eric Winston, OT, Miami: He tore ligaments
in his knee last season
otherwise he would have gone pro before now. Winston is a former
tight end who excels in
pass protection.
Derek Hagan, WR,
Arizona State: At 6-2, he has good size and speed to become a big-play
threat.
