I got this offa cbssportsline.com . . .


1. San Diego Chargers -- Eli Manning, QB, Mississippi. They haven't upgraded the position in free agency, so they have to take Manning if they stay in this spot. If not, they might move down to get Philip Rivers. The wise move would be to stay.

2. Oakland Raiders -- Robert Gallery, T, Iowa. They pass on a quarterback and take the best offensive lineman in the draft. The can't-miss guy is Gallery. Getting a premier left tackle is vital to the success of any offense.

3. Arizona Cardinals -- Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Pittsburgh. This will be a mistake, but Dennis Green wins out and gets his guy. What's the use of having all the receivers the Cardinals will have -- they got two in the first two rounds last year -- if nobody can throw them the ball?

4. New York Giants -- Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Miami of Ohio. They loved the idea of taking Gallery or Manning, but with those two gone they get the big, strong passer of the future.

5. Washington Redskins -- Tommie Harris, DT, Oklahoma. He was impressive in his Pro Day workout and the Redskins are in dire need of a quality defensive lineman. Harris makes too much sense.

6. Detroit Lions -- Kellen Winslow Jr., TE, Miami. If they can get Winslow to make plays in the middle of the field, it will open things up outside for Charlie Rogers. Winslow is the best overall player in the draft.

7. Cleveland Browns -- Sean Taylor, S, Miami. Butch Davis is reunited with a player he helped bring to Miami. Taylor is the next Ronnie Lott, even if his Pro Day workout was not that impressive.

8. Atlanta Falcons -- Vince Wilfork, DT, Miami. The new regime is going to a 4-3 front and Wilfork would make a nice addition inside next to Rod Coleman. They could also consider a receiver.

9. Jacksonville Jaguars -- Kenechi Udeze, DE, Southern California. This is a team that has to upgrade the pass rush, which is what Udeze can do. They might consider a receiver, such as Roy Williams of Texas, but with a deep draft at that position, they can address that later.

10. Houston Texans -- DeAngelo Hall, CB, Virginia Tech. They would like an upgrade from Marcus Coleman, which could mean a move by him to free safety. Hall can run, which is needed in the division with teams that throw the ball.

11. Pittsburgh Steelers -- Philip Rivers, QB, North Carolina State. The Steelers have to find a quarterback for the future, and they are said to love Rivers. This is a pick that makes sense.

12. New York Jets -- Chris Gamble, CB, Ohio State. He didn't run that well at his Pro Day workout, but the Jets use a lot of cover-two, which doesn't require the fastest corners. He plays faster than he ran anyway.

13. Buffalo Bills -- Roy Williams, WR, Texas. The Bills need a big-play weapon outside to go with Eric Moulds, and they're thrilled Williams is still on the board. Josh Reed goes back to being a No. 3.

14. Chicago Bears -- Will Smith, DE, Ohio State. They have to get somebody who can knock down the other team's quarterback. Smith has that ability.

15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Steven Jackson, RB, Oregon State. Tampa Bay signed Charlie Garner, but he's 32 years old. Jackson is the back of the future. His ability to catch passes makes him perfect for the Bucs' offense.

16. San Francisco 49ers -- Reggie Williams, WR, Washington. With Terrell Owens gone, the 49ers have to get some deep speed. Williams proved on his Pro Day he has the ability to get deep

17. Cincinnati Bengals -- Will Poole, CB, Southern California. The Bengals have to get better on the corners, and they have spent a lot of time studying Poole. He can be a good cover corner.

18. New Orleans Saints -- D.J. Williams, LB, Miami. The Saints will consider a corner, but with Williams on the board, they get a swift linebacker to add to their defense.

19. Minnesota Vikings -- Dunta Robinson, CB, South Carolina. They signed Antoine Winfield in free agency; now they add the speed corner in the draft.

20. Miami Dolphins -- Shawn Andrews, T, Arkansas. The Dolphins can't believe this 350-pound tackle is still on the board. Andrews will be an immediate starter for a team that needs offensive line help.

21. New England Patriots -- Kevin Jones, RB, Virginia Tech. He didn't run as well as the scouts thought he would at his Pro Day workout, but he is faster than his stopwatch time (4.6). If New England gets him, it will be a major steal.

22. Dallas Cowboys -- Vernon Carey, OL, Miami. Carey can play both guard and right tackle, which the Cowboys need. He looks the part of a Dallas offensive lineman.

23. Seattle Seahawks -- Darnell Dockett, DT, Florida State. He is a quick, penetrating tackle, the kind the Seahawks like. He will replace the retiring John Randle.

24. Denver Broncos -- Ben Watson, TE, Georgia. His workout was off the charts this week, and Denver needs a tight end in case Shannon Sharpe retires. Watson has great athletic ability.

25. Green Bay Packers -- Mike Williams, WR, Southern California. The Packers are stunned when a player of this caliber is still on the board. Even though receiver isn't a high priority, they still take Williams.

26. St. Louis Rams -- Rashaun Woods, WR, Oklahoma State. Isaac Bruce is getting up in years and appears to have slowed some. Woods will be the third receiver now, then take over when Bruce is gone.

27. Tennessee Titans -- Matthias Askew, DT, Michigan State. They got Robaire Smith from Michigan State; now they go back to get a player with more athletic ability to replace him.

28. Philadelphia Eagles -- Ahmad Carroll, CB, Arkansas. With Bobby Taylor and Troy Vincent gone, they have to get better on the corners. He is insurance in case Lito Sheppard or Sheldon Brown flops.

29. Indianapolis Colts -- Jonathan Vilma, LB, Miami. This is the perfect middle linebacker for their system, a guy who can run to the football and make plays. Rob Morris hasn't cut it under the new system.

30. Kansas City Chiefs -- Igor Olshansky, DT, Oregon. The Chiefs have to get better in the middle of their defense. Olshansky is strong enough to help improve the run as a rookie.

31. Carolina Panthers -- Ben Troupe, TE, Florida. They need to get a pass-catching threat in the middle of the field and Troupe is that guy. He will help take some of the pressure off Steve Smith.

32. New England Patriots -- Daryl Smith. LB, Georgia Tech. They need to get younger at linebacker, and Smith is an athletic player who makes a lot of tackles. They could also consider a corner or an offensive lineman here.

They had this on Williams

The big surprise in this mock draft is how far down Southern California's Mike Williams slides. We have the Packers taking him with the 25th pick, based on the talk with scouts he might not run much better than a 4.7. Williams didn't separate all that much in the Pac-10, although he did dominate with his size and power.

That won't cut it in the NFL, so until his Pro Day workout April 8, we'll keep him near the bottom. By the time we do the final mock, coming the night before the draft, Williams could be much higher

I think they got the Broncos pik right on althouth personally i'd rather see em go after a RB or WR and go after a TE next year. But the draft almost never works out like I would like it too.
