After weeks of analysis, the NFL Draft is finally here. Soon there will be no more debates about whether the Texans should take Reggie Bush or Mario Williams with the No. 1 pick or if Vince Young will be able to cut it in the NFL. Meanwhile, college teams are getting back to the business of creating the stars of next year's draft. To that end, we enlisted our college football expert, Stewart Mandel, to give us a preview of what the Top 10 of the 2007 NFL Draft will look like, complete with a prediction of which teams will be picking where. Here's what he gave us:
1. Green Bay: Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma. After finishing with a 3-13 record, Favre's out, but the Peterson-Aaron Rodgers combo will help the Lambeau faithful forget their iconic QB.
2. Buffalo: Brady Quinn, QB Notre Dame. After a year of flip-flopping Kelly Holcomb and J.P. Losman, the Bills will have seen enough. Charlie Weis' prodigy will then assert himself as Buffalo's starter in his rookie year.
3. San Francisco: Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech. At 6-feet 4, 235 pounds, and possessing 4.4 speed, Johnson will give the 49ers their best target since Jerry Rice.
4. Chicago: Brian Brohm, QB, Louisville: After years of dealing with backups thrust into the starting role (Rex Grossman, Kyle Orton, Chad Hutchinson, Craig Krenzel), the Bears get a quarterback who can win games rather than not lose them.
5. New York Jets: Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC: The 6-5 Jarrett reunites with former roommate Matt Leinart takes some of the weight off of Laveranues Coles.
6. Tennessee: Paul Posluszny, LB, Penn State. Showing no ill effects from the knee ligament damage he suffered in the Orange Bowl, the two-time Butkus Award-winner will be the first defensive player taken.
7. Detroit: Justin Blalock, OT, Texas. The Lions have one of the best receiving corps in the business, but their running game has all but disappeared. Drafting this 6-4, 230-pounder will be the first step in re-establishing it.
8. Houston: Marshawn Lynch, RB, California. He could team with likely No. 1 pick Reggie Bush to form one heck of a backfield.
9. Minnesota: Michael Bush, RB, Louisville: He may not have the talent of Reggie, but this Bush should help the Vikings control the ball and let their defense win some games.
10. New Orleans: Patrick Willis, LB, Mississippi. The Saints defense has been one of the worst in the league the past few seasons, but Willis will help it get back to respectability.
