9. Houston Texans- *Shawn Andrews, OT, Arkansas- The Texans would love to nab Wilfork but they cant do it with Andrews still on the board. Andrews is a bookend tackle and will give Carr much needed protection. Comparable to Orlando Pace.

10. Washington Redskins- *Steven Jackson, HB, Oregon State- The Skin's need a feature back. Trung Canidate did not work out and Ladell Betts is a backup. Jackson will provide the offense with a power running attack with shifty moves and the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. Comparable to Jamal Lewis.

11. Cincinnati Bengals- *Kevin Jones, HB, Virginia Tech- Assuming Corey Dillon is gone, the Bengals will need a ground attack. Jones is a very smooth runner with great cutback ability. He will help Carson out and provide a future dynamic duo for the Bengals. Jones is comparable to Marshall Faulk.

12. Pittsburgh Steelers- *Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Miami (OH)- Tommy Maddox's days are numbered in Pittsburgh. Unless he shows something soon, the Steelers will be looking for a new QB. The Browns likely will not trade Tim Couch to a division rival so the Steelers will most likely look to the draft. Roethlisberger is comparable to Drew Bledsoe.

13. Cleveland Browns- *Kellen Winslow, TE, Miami- Butch will be pushing for this one. He recruited the kid at Miami and would gladly welcome him to Cleveland. With both Gallery and Andrews gone the Browns grab a difference maker at TE. Winslow is in a class of his own but could be compared to Todd Heap but with more speed and athletic ability.

14. New Orleans Saints- *DeAngelo Hall, CB, Virginia Tech- The Saints needs CB's, Ambrose and Thomas are in their 30's and losing ability. Hall is probably the fastest corner in the draft. Hall could be compared to Ty Law.

15. New York Giants- *Derrick Johnson, OLB, Texas- Johnson is a freak at LB. He is all over the ball and has great instincts. Hits very hard and forces turnovers. Johnson could be compared to Takeo Spikes.

16. New England Patriots- *Vince Wilfork, DT, Miami- Simply the best player available. A steal for the Pats who would make there D-line one of the best. With Seymour, McGinest, Wilfork, and Ty Warren, they would be very disruptive. Comparable to John Randle.
