1. Jacksonville Jaguars- Roy Williams, WR, Texas- Jags passing attack could use a boost and Leftwich needs a WR for the future. Williams is very tall at 6'4 and can overpower opposing DB's. He is comparable to Plaxico Burress.

2. San Diego Chargers- *Tommie Harris, DT/DE, Oklahoma- Harris is an All-American DT. His motor never runs out and he is constantly pressuring the QB. Good at stopping the run but not great. May be moved to DE because of his size (285 lbs) and amazing pass rush ability. He is comparable to Michael Strahan.

3. Arizona Cardinals- Eli Manning, QB, Mississippi- I think Manning is a lock to be taken by Arizona. Marcell Shipp seems to have potential running the football. They have two young rookie receivers. The defense needs improvement but they cant pass on a franchise QB with these genes. Comparable to Peyton but has more mobility.

4. Atlanta Falcons- *Marlin Jackson, CB, Michigan- The Falcons would love to take Wilfork here because they will be switching to a 4-3 next season. However, the secondary is horrible and needs talent immediately. Jackson is very quick and agile. He is a true shutdown corner. Jackson is also a ferocious hitter. Comparable to Champ Bailey.

5. Oakland Raiders- *Reggie Williams, WR, Washington- This will most likely be the last season for Tim Brown, Jerry Rice, and Rich Gannon. Tuiassosopo will get his chance next season. Jerry Porter will be #1 but having Williams as #2 makes a very potent duo. Williams is very similar to Terrell Owens.

6. Chicago Bears- Robert Gallery, OT, Iowa- The Bears O-line needs help. They are very weak at the tackle position. With Grossman being the guy next season, he will need Gallery blocking his blind side or it will be a short season for him. Gallery is comparable to Walter Jones.

7. Detroit Lions- *Sean Taylor, FS, Miami- The Lions need a playmaking safety badly. They give up way to many yards over the middle. Taylor will make receivers a little nervous going across the middle when he's there. He has great ball skills and quick reaction time. Very good at intercepting the ball and forcing turnovers. Taylor is comparable to Roy Williams.

8. New York Jets- *Michael Clayton, WR, LSU- The Jets need a #1 option for their passing attack to take off. Pennington his a very accurate passer and relishes three reciever sets. With Clayton drawing double coverage most of the time. Santana Moss and Wayne Chrebet will be very open allowing Pennington to shred the defense. Clayton is comparable to Andre Johnson.
