now THIS would be a fun draft!!
heh... a draft with several trade possibilities
2005 DRAFT THREE-ROUND PROJECTION April 8, 2005 * indicates underclassman Red indicates proposed trade First round 1 San Francisco *Aaron Rodgers QB California 49ers would dearly love to trade down, however, aren't likely to find any takers.. Rodgers isn't necessarily the top prosepct on the board, but gives SF the best chance of finding a starter from day one at the position 2 Miami Ronnie Brown RB Auburn Like the 49ers, the Dolphins want to trade down, but also aren't likely to find a dance partner...Brown is the anti-Ricky; a tough runner who will show up; he's also a terrific receiver 3 Minnesota (from Cleveland) Braylon Edwards WR Michigan Vikes need to find a replacement for the departed Randy Moss, but could actually miss out on the big three WRs if they stay at #7... Browns will get shot at same players at #3 or 7 4 Tampa Bay (from Chicago) *Mike Williams WR Southern California Bears and Bucs do the hokey pokey that ensures both teams get the guy they want...Bucs' Jon Gruden has made no secret about how much he likes SC's Williams a 'freakish playmaker' 5 Chicago (from Tampa Bay) Cedric Benson RB Texas Benson isn't a burner and brings some character issues top the table; however, he's the type of back you can give the ball to 25-30 times a game and forget it 6 San Diego (from Tennessee) *Troy Williamson WR South Carolina Chargers need a big-play WR to complete picture in team revival and won't get one of the top three down at #12...4.3 40 time at combine got the other SC's Williamson rocketing up value board's around the NFL 7 Cleveland (from Oakland thru Minnesota) *Shawn Merriman LB Maryland QB Alex Smith could also factor in for Browns at #3 or #7, but Merriman gives defensive guru Romeo Crennel disruptive edge rusher to rebuild defense around 8 Arizona *Alex Smith QB Utah Kurt Warner is a decent stop-gap measure, but surely Dennis Green won't pass on his good fortune if a potential franchise type QB like Smith falls in lap; RB Carnell Williams or one of the CBs will be tempting tough 9 Washington *Adam Jones CB West Virginia Jones will be perfect tonic for Redskins to repair secondary which has lost outstanding cover corners Champ Bailey and Fred Smoot this past couple of years 10 Detroit Derrick Johnson LB Texas Lions are sitting pretty at #10 and should get a look at a number of quality prospects who can come in and help risimg franchise... OT Alex Barron, TE Heath Miller or one of the top remaining CBs would also be in the mix,... Johnson will combine with Boss Bailey and Teddy Lehman to give Lions one of most athletic LB trios in NFL 11 Kansas City (from Dallas) Antel Rolle CB Miami Kansas City needs help big-time at corner and hope to acquire either Patrick Surtain in trade with Dolphins or by signing injured vet Ty Law; for now, though, a move up to get Rolle, a tough, physical cover corner might be good Plan B 12 Tennessee (from NY Giants thru San Diego) Alex Barron OT Florida St. Titans need replacement for venearble Brad Hopkins whose been around since high tops; move down makes sense because Barron would be a reach at #6; CB Rogers good fall back if Barron goes to Detroit or Dallas 13 Houston Carnell Williams RB Auburn Texans looking at CB and pass rush help, but real feature back like Williams may be just too hard to pass up. 14 Carolina Matt Jones WR Arkansas Somebody is going to jump on Jones early; why not the Panthers who lost Mushin Muhmmad to free agency 15 Dallas (from Kansas City) Demarcus Ware OLB Troy State New Parcells' 3-4 defense needs explosive edge rusher in Lawrence Taylor mold to really work; Ware is raw but has super quick first step 16 New Orleans Carlos Rogers CB Auburn Defense, defense, defense is key in Saints' draft plans; DT Travis Johnson would be fcator here too 17 Cincinnati Erasmus James DE Wisconsin Improved pass rush is Bengals main goal at 2005 draft and Badgers' James is one of the best despite lack of pure footspeed 18 Minnesota David Pollack DE Georgia Pollack isn't necessarily everyone's cup of tea, but he'll be a nice fit on a team where DT firm of Williams and Williams will occupy so much attention 19 Philadelphi (from St. Louis) Luis Castillo DT Northwestern Eagles always move up so why not this year when they have a passel of extra picks; jump in ahead of divison rival Cowboys to take one of draft's rising stars 20 Dallas (from Buffalo) Shaun Cody DE Southern California DT/DE tweener will be nice fit as 3-4 DE 21 Jacksonville *Justin Miller CB Clemson Speedy Miller, who also returns kicks, addresses team's biggest need for solid cover corner; OU WR Mark Clayotn could also be in mix 22 Baltimore Travis Johnson DT Florida State Bit of baggage drops rugged DT down a couple of spots; nice personal protector for Ray Lewis in new 4-3 defense 23 Cleveland (from Seattle) Charlie Frye QB Akron Browns use some of the profit from earlier Vikings' deal to jump ahead of Packers to get QB of the future; the fact that Frye is a local kid should also help to keep the dawg pound in check for a while 24 Indianapolis (from Green Bay) Marcus Spears DE LSU Colts looking for complimentary DE with size to take some of the heat off Dwight Freeney 25 Denver *Fabian Washington CB Nebraska DL help (hopefully) came from Cleveland; Huskers supply speed at corner 26 New York Jets Mark Clayton WR Oklahoma Clayton should go much higher, but today he didn't; nice target for QB Chad Pennington who can make things happen after he catches the ball 27 Atlanta Khalif Barnes OT Washington A little personal protection for company VIP Vick 28 San Diego *Justin Tuck DE Notre Dame Maybe more of a 4-3 type DE, but Tuck brings pass rush potential Charger defense desperately needs 29 Green Bay (from Indianapolis) Matt Roth DE Iowa With Charlie Frye off the board, Packers look to add a piece to D puzzle to give Brett one more run at a title 30 Pittsburgh *Heath Miller TE Virginia Another player who probably will go much higher but just didn't; nice underneath target for young QB Ben Roethlisberger 31 St. Louis (from Philadelphia) Dan Cody DE Okalhoma Has some questions, but should make decent complimentary pass rush to support Leonard Little 32 New England Reggie Brown WR Georgia Patriot type WR; not flashy, but quick smart and steady Summary of projected trades: (1) Minnesota sends Cleveland the 7th pick overall, originally acquired from Oakland, plus 2nd, 4th and 6th round picks for the 3rd pick (2) Tampa Bay gives Chicago a #3 pick in 2006 to flip 4th and 5th picks (3) San Diego gives Tennessee the 12th pick overall, plus 2nd and 4th round picks in 2005 and a #3 in 2006 for the 6th pick (4) Kansas City gives Dallas the 15th pick in 2005 and a #2 pick in 2006 for the 11th pick (5) Philadelphia gives St. Louis the 31st pick, plus 2nd, 4th and 6th roundes for the 19th pick (6) Cleveland gives Seattle the 34th pick in 2004 plus the second acquired from Minnesota for the 23rd pick (7) indianapolis gives Green Bay the 29th pick plus a second rounder for the 24th pick Second round 33 San Francisco Roddy White WR Alabama-Birmingham 34 Seattle (from Cleveland) *Channing Crowder LB Florida 35 Philadelphia (from Miami) *Odell Thurman RB Georgia 36 Tampa Bay *Ciatrick Fason RB Florida 37 Tennessee Marlin Jackson CB Michigan 38 Oakland Corey Webster CB LSU 39 Chicago Jammal Brown OT Oklahoma 40 New Orleans (from Washington) Atiyyah Ellison DT Missouri 41 Detroit Alex Smith TE Stanford 42 Dallas Marcus Johnson OG Mississippi 43 New York Giants *Thomas Davis FS Georgia 44 Arizona Eric Green CB Virginia Tech 45 Carolina David Baas OG Michigan 46 Kansas City Kevin Burnett LB Tennessee 47 Houston Daryl Blackstock LB Virginia 48 Cincinnati Barrett Ruud LB Nebraska 49 Seattle (from Minnesota thru Cleveland) Chris Canty DE Virginia 50 St. Louis Elton Brown OG Virginia 51 Green Bay (from New Orleans) *Brodney Pool Fs Oklahoma 52 Jacksonville *Jovan Haye DE Vanderbilt 53 Baltimore *Chris Spencer C Mississippi 54 Seattle Mike Patterson DT Southern California 55 Buffalo Anttaj Hawthorne DT Wisconsin 56 Denver Jonathan Babineaux DT Iowa 57 New York Jets *Brandon Browner CB Oregon State 58 Green Bay Bryant McFadden CB Florida State 59 Atlanta *C. J. Moseley DT Missouri 60 Green Bay (from Indianapolis) Adam Seward LB UNLV 61 Tennessee (from San Diego) *Chris Henry WR West Virginia 62 Pittsburgh Chris Kemoeatu OG Utah 63 St. Louis (from Philadelphia) Stanley Wilson CB Stanford 64 New England Alfred Fincher LB UConn Third round 99(c) Kansas City Kyle Orton QB Purdue |
