4. San Diego: QB Philip Rivers, NC State.

5. Washington: DE Kenechi Udeze, USC.

6. Detroit: TE Kellen Winslow II, Miami.

7. Atlanta: S Sean Taylor, Miami.

30. Kansas City: CB Derrick Strait, Oklahoma.

31. Carolina: CB Matt Ware, UCLA.

32. New England: G Chris Snee, Boston College.

OK...if this is the case...who do the Cardinals pick at #33?

Judging by the unsuccessful efforts of Graves/Green efforts to get a Sam LB, my guess is that it will be Karlos Dansby.

 

[so far away]

Do you really think 7 cornerbacks will go in the first round?

 

[az jam]

Easy answer: Will Smith DE Ohio State that many predict will go in top 15, I think you missed him.

 

[kerouac9]

Seven corners, six wide-outs, and two guards in the first round, and Will Smith (neck and neck with Udeze as the best DE) falls out?

This draft is insanity. Pick Will Smith at #33!

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

I didn't even notice Will Smith not being there. Was there perhaps a typo or something?

 

[Walter Mitchell]

Ooops, forgot DE Will Smith. I actually had him going to Buffalo, but when I started switching picks I inadvertantly left him out. Was not intentional. Excellent observation, az jam, mao, k9.

Here's the correction:

14. Chicago: DE Will Smith, Ohio St.

15. Tampa Bay: DT Tommie Harris, Oklahoma.

22. New England: RB Steven Jackson, Oregon St.

23. Dallas: RB Kevin Jones, Virginia Tech. (Perry falls out of Rd. 1)

Thanks again, guys.

Matt Ware? A first-round pick? Teddy Lehman, too? Before Karlos Dansby? Cripes!

 

[Pariah]

Matt Ware? A first-round pick?

I think Ware's versatility will get him into the bottom of the first round, too. A team that has needs at CB and S might take a chance on him. Maybe Philly? Maybe NE?

I don't know. Every mock that I've seen has him going at the bottom of the second round. Too much of a 'tweener for my taste.

7. Atlanta: S Sean Taylor, Miami.

8. Cleveland: WR Mike Williams, USC.

Cleveland has the 7th pick - Atlanta the 8th.

This mock argues, rather effectively, that should FITZ not be available at 3, then a trade down with Cleveland could very well be the thing to do. Taylor at 7 sounds OK to me. And, if not - d'Angelo Hall... the Aeneas Williams of the draft.
