• Comment on This Mock Draft
1. Cincinnati Bengals - Eli Manning, QB Ole Miss
There were only two choices in my mind; Leftwich and Manning. After the Akili Smith disaster, I think the stable choice is the one for Cincy. I doubt he'll leave this year but it's worth a shot.
2. Houston Texans - Charles Rogers, WR Michigan State
The Texans need a defensive upgrade, but how can they pass up on possibly the next Randy Moss to relieve Carr's young arm.
3. Baltimore Ravens - Byron Leftwich, QB Marshall
Perfect pick for this dying Raven team. He can bring back Jamal Lewis to superstardom and let a once unbeatable defense regain it's spark.
4. Detroit Lions - E.J. Henderson, LB Maryland
Possibly the best defensive player out there. With Detroit's offense already being established, it's time to work the other side of the ball.
5. Dallas Cowboys - Cederic Benson, RB Texas
Plays in the state, virtually the Emitt of the future. If he has a good year he can definitely be considered up here, if not watch another top RB get swiped in his place if they like him. Possibly Ontario Smith in my mind.
6. Arizona Cardinals - Max Starks, OT Florida
Will give the error filled Jones and Plummer some more time to make better choices.
7. Minnesota Vikings - William Joseph, DT Miami
Do I honestly believe he'll be around this long? No. Yet if he is, Minnesota surely has him No. 1 on their chart.
8. New York Jets - Mike Doss, S Ohio St
The best safety in football, and can really help the Jets now lost secondary.
