Ok guys, I've gone round and round with this thing and had to make a lot of changes as the Denver Brown-co's developed. Nevertheless, here it is..

1. San Francisco selects - Braylon Edwards, WR Michigan



2. Miami selects - Aaron Rodgers, QB California. Miami knows that RB’s are deep this year and elite QBs are not, so they snag a future star while they can and start trying to figure out how they can get a 2nd round pick from someone so they can pick a RB then (Eric Shelton maybe?). Plus Aaron just looks like he belongs in a Dolphins uni, doesn’t he?



3. Cleveland - selects Mike Williams WR USC



4. Chicago selects – Ronnie Brown, RB Auburn The Bears really wanted one of those big WRs, but since they are gone, Chicago goes with plan ‘B’. Thomas Jones is good, but the Bears see all the elite RBs still on the board and cannot resist the opportunity to improve here.



5. Tampa Bay selects – Carnell Williams, RB Auburn



6. Tennessee selects – Antrel Rolle, CB Miami



7. Minnesota selects – Derrick Johnson, OLB Texas



8. Arizona selects – Cedric Benson, RB Texas.



9. Houston selects - Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, CB West Virginia Houston trades their third round selection (#73) to Washington and jumps up to the 9th pick. When they see Rolle go, they know the Pac-Man will go quickly. They get the Pac Man here…and there was much rejoicing. Charley Casserly has done wheeling and dealing on draft day in the past and since he has 2 round 3 picks.



10. Philadelphia selects - Troy Williamson WR South Carolina. Detroit trades the number 10 pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for the 31st pick, Philadelphia’s first second round selection (#35 overall), one of their third round picks (#94 overall) and a 4th round selection (#`132). Philly has a wealth of picks this year, so they can afford to do a deal that brings them another target for McNabb….and Williamson is a burner who will make TO even better. I foresee TO and TW being referred to as “T&T” in no time.



11. Dallas selects - Shawne Merriman, OLB Maryland



12. San Diego selects - Mark Clayton, WR Oklahoma



13. Washington selects – Brandon Browner, CB Oregon State. Houston trades a third round selection (#73) to Washington who drops down to the 13th pick. Washington needs the extra 3rd rounder because they traded their 2nd rounder to New Orleans. Washington is thinking two good WRs are still on the board…but Philly (with all their picks) jumps in and takes their guy, and SD takes their plan ‘B’ guy, so they decide to hold off on selecting a WR until later. With the loss of Smoot, Browner is a big-time prospect who will add to Harris and Springs. Henry would have been a reach at this point.



14. Carolina selects - Alex Barron, OT Florida State



15. Kansas City selects - Alex Smith, QB Utah. The Chiefs really need a CB, but with Rolle and Jones off the board, they cannot pass on Smith when Trent Green is turning 35 in July.



16. New Orleans selects – Thomas Davis, S Georgia



17. Cincinnati selects – Travis Johnson, DT Florida State



18. Minnesota selects – Reggie Brown WR Georgia. Reggie’s stock has been on the rise and his 41.5 inch vertical overcomes his less-than-ideal 6’2” height. He has excellent RAC as well.



19. St. Louis selects – Brodney Pool S Oklahoma. Having just missed out on Davis, the Rams are still well pleased to see Pool still on the board at this point. Now they don’t have to worry about Archuletas back so much.



20. Dallas selects – David Pollack, DE Georgia. With Merriman already in the bag, Dallas is very excited about this upgrade to their defense.



21. Jacksonville selects – Jammal Brown, OT Oklahoma



22. Indianapolis selects – Erasmus James, DE Wisconsin Baltimore trades first round picks with Indianapolis. Indianapolis gives up their 3rd round pick #92 overall to move up. Indianapolis ends up with the next Dwight Freeney to add to the original. The combination is scary to think about.



23. Seattle selects – Marcus Spears DE, LSU



24. Green Bay selects – Carlos Rogers, CB Auburn. While there are no safeties remaining worthy of a #24, there are some excellent CB’s and Rogers has the tools to convert to safety (ala Michael Boulware). Rogers has awesome ball skills and jumping ability.



25. Detroit selects – Dan Cody, DE Oklahoma. With three decent defensive ends still on the board at #25, Denver moves down to the 31 spot. Matt Millen has shown his willingness to trade up or down (like he did last year) to get players in particular positions he wants. The Lions need depth at many positions, so the extra picks from Philly (for the #10 spot) will help them a great deal. But, while sitting at #31, Detroit sees the good defensive ends are dropping quickly, so they move back up from 31 to 25 by giving Denver the 3rd rounder they acquired from Philly (#94). The Lions set their sights on Shazor in the 2nd round at #35 knowing they have #41 left to go for an OT or G and an extra 4th rounder to help plug another hole.



26. New York Jets selects – Anttaj Hawthorne DT, Wisconsin



27. Atlanta selects – Shaun Cody, DE USC



28. San Diego selects – Matt Roth DE, Iowa



29. Baltimore selects –Elton Brown G, Virginia. Baltimore picks up another 3rd round pick (#92) to drop down 7 spots. This is a small reach for the best guard in the draft, but if fills a huge need.



30. Pittsburgh selects – Heath Miller TE, Virginia. Even adding Cedrick Wilson is not enough for the Steelers. This big target will make their young QB look very good.



31. Denver selects – Chris Henry, WR West Virginia . Philly jumps at the chance to move up and get a WR and Matt Millen has shown his willingness to trade up or down (like he did last year) to get players in particular positions he wants. The Lions need depth at many positions, so the extra picks from Philly will help them a great deal. But then Detroit sees the good defensive ends are dropping quickly, so they move back up from 31 to 25. Denver Brown-co’s are more than happy to accommodate them and they get a big wide-out for Jake in the deal. They are well pleased.



32. New England selects – Chris Canty DE Virginia. The Patriots wanted an ILB here, but none of the headliners are still on the board, so they add some youth to their linebacking core. Belichick’s system uses DE’s that are tall, 250 lbs plus and excellent athletes. These players are rare, and Canty (at almost 6’8” and 285 lbs) is one. The Patriots know he will be gone by their next pick, so they nab him here. When you are the champs, you can do stuff like this (This is my official reach…you gotta have at least one).

eh... Detroit gets screwed royally in this mock. Also, Browner isn't a 1st rounder anymore, let alone #13.

Yea that's the one thing I was gonna say, Browner is not first round material. I would rank Fabian WAshington and Marlin Jackson ahead of him. But to each their own.
Nice mock with trades and what not.

They'd need a lot more than that to jump 21 spots.

Actually not. If you add up the points it is about right. I had them give a little more because they are moving into the top 10. Trust me, I did the numbers.

49ers will for sure take a QB

I'm sure the numbers do add up, but numbers don't tell the whole story. My "royally screwed" comment earlier may have been an exaggeration, but I still think the Lions wouldn't get actual value for dropping that far. If the 4th was replaced with the Eagles extra 3rd, or maybe their own 2nd instead of the 3rd and 4th, then the Lions would be getting enough to drop to the end of the first round IMO.

I can see the Eagles moving up, but I don't think they're going to trade all those picks to move up for Troy Williamson. If anything the Eagle's might move up to the 20th spot and take Mark Clayton or Williamson, one should be available. I just don't see 4 recievers being picked in the first 12 rounds. The only reason Philadelphia would move up that high would be if Mike Williams was available, and he won't be when Minnesota takes him.

Cleveland will not take Mike Williams, if they don't take one of the three top RB's they'll take Derrick Johnson.

Kansas City has more important needs than QB, mainly that defense. Signing Bell helped, but they have to keep upgrading that defense, if they got a QB they would get a sleeper like Adrian McPherson in the later rounds.

I don't see why Houston trades up. They have a fine shot at getting somebody like Alex Barron at their pick, and I doubt they're interested in giving up a third rounder just to move up a few spots.

They already have Suggs, Droughns, and Green. How many RBs do the Browns need?

romeo crennel likes his thousand yard rushers.

i find it interesting that fullxtension has antrel rolle going off of the board before adam jones.

if the eagles trade up, it will be for an offensive lineman, not a wide receiver. they have learned their lesson about drafting wide outs. only one receiver that they have drafted has turned into a significant contributor (todd pinkston). other than him, their drafted wide receivers have turned to shit.

heath miller is off the board after the cowboys trade down to 23. the steelers will take QB/WR matt jones of arkansas at 30.

The Eagles have only taken two recievers in the first two rounds since 1984, Fred-Ex and Pinkston. All others really shouldn't be considered

The Jets will most likely go after Heath Miller with Becht's departure as well, they're going to have to trade up if they want to be safe.

that would be wild to see jones taken in the 1st round. they say he is impressing big time though with his size and speed.

6'6", 245 lbs, 4.40 40-yard-dash. pittsburgh has a history of converting quarterbacks to receivers (randle el, ward), and jones looks like he has plenty of talent. pittsburgh also might want to replace the loss of burress. another thing that leads me to believe that he will be drafted by the steelers is that he is big enough to play tight end, a position that also needs depth.

I see Alex Smith going to SF 49ers, they need another QB and Smith will do the thing.

Hopefully the Cowboys will get a good pass rusher, and go with Demarcus Ware.
