1. Texans-RB Reggie Bush:even though they need d'brick they cant pass on this guy. Him and Domanick Davis will be a force next year if they get some o-line help. 2. Saints-LT D'Brickshaw Fergueson-If the saints stay at the #2 spot they will likely get some o-line help for Brees. They already have Will Smith and Charles Grant and they dont want to split time between 3 DEs anymore so this is the best pick for the saints 3. Titans-QB Matt Leinhart: Norm Chow cant pass on his old QB, Matt Leinhart is ready right now to take over. 4. Jets- DE Mario Willams- Johnthan Abraham is going to be traded for a QB, and Mario Williams is too good to pass on 5. Packers- OLB AJ Hawk- The packers are putting toghter a good d-line. They have nick barnett at LB, and thats about it. Hawk brings speed to the packers D 6. 49ers- TE Veron Davis- 49ers lost their #1 reciever and they dont have any depth at WR. Since their isnt a top 10 WR out there they will go with Veron Davis and likely run a 2 TE set with Davis and Johnson. Davis will probly be split out a lot at WR and Johnson stay on the line on 3rd down. 7. Raiders- QB Vince Young- Vince Young can dominate a game. His running ablity will help get the raiders out on track. 8. Bills- DT Ngata- With Veron Davis off the board, and no offensive lineman worth drafting this high they need to get a good DT to go next to triplett. Triplett will rush the passer and Ngata will stop the run. 9 Lions- S/CB Micheal Huff- Mcquarters is gone, and they only have one playmaking DB in Bly. Huff can play anywhere. Another possiblity is drafting Jay Cutler. Harrington says he wants out, if they release him i think they will draft Cutler. 10- Cardinals- QB Jay Cutler- Kurt Warner is getting older and older. Cutler will be a really good QB if he can wait a year. He has a extremly strong arm, and he is my favorite QB out of the top 3. 11- Rams- DB Jimmy Williams- The rams are getting some good pieces on defense like Witherspoon and Glover. Archeltta left and they replaced him with Chavous who isnt as good as him but alright. The rams dont have much of a secondary and Williams will really help. 12- Browns- RT Winston Justice- The browns have a good o-line, but they are missing a good tackle. 13. Ravens- DT Bunkley- The ravens lost Kemoeatu through free agency. Bunkley is lighter and faster. 14. Phildephia- WR Santiono Holmes- Eagles lost TO and the only other good WR on that roster is Brown. Holmes is a big play threat that can replace TO, and he come without the drama 15. Falcons- DE Tambi Hali- Kerney is good but they need someone on the other side, Hali is a very quick DE that mess with LT. 16. Miami- CB Tye Hill- The dolphins lost Madison, and Surtain last year. They lack a good CB and Tye Hill can make plays 17. Minnestoa- OLB Chad Greenway- with Chester taylor signing with the vikings they dont need a RB. Greenway would contiune to upgrade that defense 18. Cowboys- OT Marcus McNeil- Drew Bledsoe cant move and they need to protect his right side 19. San Diego- WR Chad Jackson- The chargers lack a good young reciever. McCardell is about to retire and they want to surround Rivers with a great recieveing core to help ease him into the starting job. 20. Kansas City- CB Cromartie- With Bunkley and all the good WR off the board, Cromartie is the best pick. The Chiefs are in a passing division and they struggle against the pass. Cromartie has the highest upside of the rest of the corners 21. New England- CB Ashton Youboty- the patriots most glaring need is CB. They released Duane Starks and dont have much depth. If they could find a good corner in free agency then i think they would get Manny Lawson, but they need DBs 22. Denver- S Darnell Bing- They could also address DE, but most of the teams after them wont take a DE. Lynch is getting older and older and they want a good FS next to him 23. Tampa Bay- OT Eric Winston- Winson?s stock is soaring because of the combine. Tampa says they want to address the o-line and they need a athletic tackle to take on all those good DE in the NFC South like Peppers, Rucker, Smith, Kerney 24. Bengals- DT Gabe Watson- Watson cant eat up blockers and keep those young LBs from getting blocked 25. Giants- LB Ernie Sims- Sims is very very fast and they got run over in the playoffs. Assuming they don?t get Arrington they will most likely address LB 26. Bears- TE Pope- Bears want to give Grossman some targets and at 6?7 he is a huge target down field 27. Panthers- OLB DeMeco Ryans- Witherspoon and Short is gone. Thomas Davis will play at one end and Ryans will play at the other. Ryans is a gifted playmaker who is good in coverage 28. Jacksonville- RB LenDale White- Jacksonville is a smash mouth football team and White is the RB they would want to have. 29. Broncos- DE Mathias Kiwanuka- The broncos couldn?t get to the QB last year. Kiwanuka can help replace Trevor Pryrce 30. Colts- RB Laurence Maroney- Maroney is the best back for the system for the colts. He can catch the ball and has ideal side to replace James. 31. Seahawks- LB Thomas Howard- The Hawks let go of Jamie Sharper.. 32. Steelers- S Ko Simpson- They need to replace Chris Hope Deanglo Williams falls to either Jets or 49ers in round 2. He has first round talent but no one to select him because Broncos dont like taking 1st round RBs. Manny Lawson will fall to the 49ers if Jets pick Deanglo Williams because 49ers are a 3-4 team
Well DeAngelo Williams will certainly go before Laurence Maroney especially in the Colts case. I don't think any WR's are worth top 15 picks. I think Eric Winston won't go that higher either. Other than that it was a good mock. Can you give a reason why you don't like DeAngelo Williams though? I can't imagine every scout and "draft" expert being wrong about the guy and you and Vin being right.
I think Deanglo Williams has first round talent but he has no one to pick him. I think Williams is a little small, and isnt very elusive and lacks breakaway speed expected of a small back. Williams also has injury concerns. But Williams has tons of production which is good for him. Maroney is a little bit bigger back, and has better speed. He also has less mileage because he split carries with Marion Barber.
Colts could take either back, i just think they want to take back with more ideal size at 5-11 217 which is almost perfect for a back. Maroney 40 time will tell a lot on who goes first he is going to run late march because he missed his pro day
I think a lack of height is an advantage to a RB....he helps to get lost in that pit of lineman and come out the other side....if I was in the genetics lab creating a perfect back, hes be 5'10" and 210 lbs....

I don't mean to make you look bad but Williams and Bush are the two most elusvie backs in this draft out of the first round talents. Williams also hasn't ran the 40 yet.. and neither has Maroney. Both can run 4.4's or there said to have. That's solid for any back. Williams will be the 2nd or 3rd back off the board. White may go before him but not Maroney. Williams 5-8 208 at the Senior Bowl. Maroney was listed at Minnesota at 5-11 215. (meaning he's probably not even that) Schools tend to list them taller and bigger than what they really are. That's not much of a difference really. There's a lot of pro scouts that think Williams will be the best back in this draft.
The Steelers have already replaced Chris Hope, by signing Ryan Clark from Washington. At first, I didn't think he'd be his replacement, just figured he'd be Polamalu's back-up, but I read on the same article yesterday that had Chris Hope signing with the Titans that they are using Clark to replace Hope. In all honesty, I think the Steelers are going to draft a WR. I think that's the position they need the most help at, especially after losing their 3rd and 4th competing WRs in Quincy Morgan and Lee Mays. I also don't think Cedrick Wilson is good enough to be a number 2 reliability. I look for them to bring in a rookie to be their number 2 guy. Other then that man, nice mock, I'm diggin' it.
Porky your right there isnt much diffenence in the backs. It all depends on what Maroney runs at his private workout. Either back could be taken by the colts. I just think that Maroney would be the best fit out of the two for the colts.
In my next version im gonna get cowboys selecting another player because they got OT Fabini, and i think im going to have tambi hali droping because he ran a 4.88 in his pro day.
