Gage doesn't stretch crap... He's a big possession receiver.Don't be a hater man....
Williams has been off a year and his 40 times SUCKED last year prior to the draft.
Williams may be a solid NFL player, Bray-Ed will be a superstar.
Mike Williams is the '05 version of JJ Stokes.

Williams' 40 times were fine. 4.5/4.6.......What were Boldins?The guy is a physical freak, and catches everything. Imagine what a terror he would be in the red zone......6'5 230. C'mon.....who is covering that?? Antoine Winfield? Ahmad Carroll?? Dre Bly??Gage doesn't stretch crap... He's a big possession receiver.Don't be a hater man....

I agree with taking Edwards over Williams... not the popular stance............Edwards is the more developed overall receiver and could provide and immediate lift to that horrible WR corp. in Chicago. With that being said , Williams has more potential to be great..but Edwards should be very good earlier and for a long time. Solid pick.Gage doesn't stretch crap...

At pick 1.5 let's hope the Bucs take:WR Mike WilliamsI would only want them to take one of two players: 1) Williams or 2) Derrick Johnson. The two best athletes in the draft and IMO the two with the most upside and "sure" thing written all over them. Sure, the Bucs could use a RB but don't see any that I would take this high. Alex Smith sure would be tempting here but there are many other needs to address.Pairing Williams and Clayton at the WR could make them lethal for years to come. I hope the Bears actually do go with Braylon but I suspect that would be unlikely because of the colossal bust that David Terrel has been.

RBM, if Mike Williams is 'so great'.... then how come (when most thought he'd be in the '04 NFL Draft) most NFL pundits didn't even have him listed as the top WR LAST year after his great season?

I remember seeing him as the 3rd or 4th best wideout in last years draft. Behind Fitz and Roy most of the time, and sometimes behind Reggie, but at least with Fitz and Roy, those guys were ELITE prospects. Edwards isnt on those guys levels. Edwards wouldve been close to the RaShaun Woods ranking I bet

Taken so far:
1 San Francisco- Aaron Rodgers- QB from Cal
2 Miami - Derrick Johnson - LB from Texas
3 Cleveland Antrel Rolle - CB from Miami
4 Chicago Braylon Edwards - WR Michigan
5 Tampa Bay Mike Williams - WR formerly USC
Tennessee OTC
I think the Edwards pick is tough for Bear fans to swallow with the bust
that is David Terrell. From what I have seen Edward's work ethic is way
better than Terrell so hopefully Edwards can bury that memory.

I think it would be cool if everyone copied the previous board into their posts when making the pick, and then bolded their pick,for example :1 San Francisco- Aaron Rodgers- QB from Cal
2 Miami - Derrick Johnson - LB from Texas
3 Cleveland Antrel Rolle - CB from Miami
4 Chicago Braylon Edwards - WR Michigan
5 Tampa Bay Mike Williams - WR formerly USC
6. Tennessee- Colin Dowling - LB - Attica Correctional Facility

Well crap. There goes my pick for the first round. Guess I will have to find another LB for Denver to draft instead. You just can't go wrong with those Penal League LBs...
With the sixth pick in the 2005 NFL Draft the Tennesse Titans select:Alex Barron- OT- Florida St.Knowing Jeff Fisher he would have loved to take a defensive player with this first pick. However, with Derrick Johnson and Antrel Rolle of the board I think he turns his head to the offensive line where we will be losing one of our starting tackles( probably F. Miller) as a salary cap casualty. As many have mentioned, with Kevin Carter more than likely gone, DL is a need as well. However, there is much depth on the DL in this years draft. There is however only really one or maybe two stud OT tackles in the draft this year. Alex Barron is the easy choice.2005 NFL Draft1 San Francisco- Aaron Rodgers- QB from Cal2 Miami - Derrick Johnson - LB from Texas3 Cleveland Antrel Rolle - CB from Miami4 Chicago Braylon Edwards - WR Michigan 5 Tampa Bay Mike Williams - WR formerly USC6. Tennessee- Alex Barron- OT- Florida St.I am also updating the very first post of the thread which will include the synopsis of the pick. It will be good to look at at the end of the day to recap what all th epicks were.

I'm liking the explainations so far. I'm glad this was emphasized at signup. Barron was on my short list at #3, nice pick. I also considered Mike Williams. I'm still glad I went with Rolle. 
I've already got a few targets for round two, and of course will welcome a few players that slide into the 2nd that I like in the 1st.
I've already got a few targets for round two, and of course will welcome a few players that slide into the 2nd that I like in the 1st.i like edwards over williams...1)edwards value is based more on performance, williams on mesaureables.2)williams has been out of football for a year. that cant help.3)edwards performance in the rose bowl showed he can step up in the spotlightthat being said, i could see great arguments for williams over edwards.we have already hit on one of the best subplots going into the draft ramp-up:Braylon Edwards vs. Mike Williams, who should be the first WR off the board?good work, fellas.
I could see these exact arguments as being made for williams as well. Edwards has playing all year while Williams is completely off-radar, and that's only barely been enough to get Edwards rated on par with Williams on most lists. What happens when Williams gets to be seen again?
You guys should check out the first post of the thread. It looks like a really nice mock with all the explanations for the picks in there. Very first rate.I'm liking the explainations so far.

I like it, No DE/DT taken yet, at a position that has arugably the most depth in the draft. Looking good for my teams 12th overall pick. PM me as soon as I'm up!!!

I think this is the point in the draft that some teams in the 10-16 range would be trying to move up... they see the one guy that they have rated above others and are really wanting to move up in the draft to get the top DT or DE or maybe even that Safety that caught their eye at the combine.

With the 7th overall pick of the 2005 NFL draft, the Raiders select ....
Cedric Benson, RB, Texas
He has all of the physical tools to be a stud at the next level. Great size, runs with power, and still manages to be very elusive. Al Davis normally doesn't go with a RB this early, but Benson would be a difference maker for years to come. By getting Grove and Gallery in last year's draft, the Raiders have a chance here to put together an incredible running game for the future. If Jerry Porter does indeed leave and Mike Williams or Braylon Edwards are available, I could see the Raiders going with one of these two wideouts and then going after a RB in free agency. But, with the way the picks have fallen so far, I can easily see them going in this direction.

Washington Redskins select.....
DAN CODY, DE OKLAHOMA
Renaldo Wynn. Phillip Daniels....c'mon.
If the Skins keep Smoot and Pierce, adding a pass rusher like Cody could be just what they need to become the most dominant defense in the league. Cody goes all out on every play. Extremely intense competitor, just seems like the type of guy Gibbs/Williams would love to coach.

Leave it to me to cause controversy....Let's see which FG kickers would warrant a 2nd round pick.....

With the 10th pick in the first round the Detroit Lions select TE Heath Miller of the Virginia Cavaliers. The Lions could easily go in one of about four or five directions. While safety is a priority and a concern, drafting a safety this high is almost always not a great value and there is no Sean Taylor in this year's talent pool. Thomas Davis is a nice talent, but he might be better off at LB where the Lions are well stocked with youth, production and potential.The Lions have needs at DE, TE and could also use a top-rated tackle for the offensive line where they could move Stockar McDougle inside to guard. Alex Barron would've been a nice selection but he's long gone.I do believe the Lions will look to trade down out of this spot and get more picks or value in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Other areas of need include CB and DT where they have decent players already, but could stand to add a high impact rookie to groom and eventually take over. Dan Wilkenson may not have more than a couple years left, if that many, and Fernando Bryant is nothing more than an average corner making a bit too much money given his production in '04. Granted, he was hurt, but the Lions need to upgrade their corners and/or improve their pass rush to have a better chance of shutting down their opponents. When it comes right down to it, I think TE Heath Miller is the best fit in terms of value for this pick and potential impact that would help the Lions offense soar and take this unit to the next level. As for other players targeted I like both Dan Cody and David Pollack for DEs, but I'm not as sold on Erasmus Jones yet and wouldn't be comfortable taking either him or Pollack at 10. Cody was gone. I'd have no issues trading down a few/several spots to get either one. Impact DEs are hard to find and extremely pricey to secure via free agency. Drafting one in the first round makes good sense from a cap stand point. Since we couldn't trade down, however, I think we can get Miller here and still come back in the 2nd and 3rd to grab a good safety or corner like Carlos Rogers (personal favorite). It came down to Miller or Erasmus Jones/David Pollack. It would make the most sense to get a DE, but not at this spot (10th). Trade down, get Pollack. Select Alex Smith or Kevin Everett in the 2nd/3rd or target C/G David Baas to solidify the OL and leave McDougle at RT.Certainly, Lions fans expect defense defense defense after spending all of our recent #1 picks on offense - OL, OL, OL, QB, WR, WR, RB... well add TE to it as well.

Roddy White or WilliamsonIMO Williamson is a marquee WR.
I'd rather have those guys for a 2nd round pick than draft Edwards in the 1st.Both have similar skills and upside but without as much risk.

Nice pick Lions...Now you've got a plethora of young talented WRs, a top flight TE, a young running back and Joey Harrington.I'd look for the Lions to pick up Jeff Garcia should he get whacked... if Harrington struggles early in '05, it's time to hit the bench... and then the door after the season.

I am hoping that the Cowboys realize that Alex Smith is great value at this pick and have the same success as another team that went with young QB at the 11th spot last year. Edit to add that I realize that the Cowboys have said that QB isn't a likely option however having 2 first round picks maybe they will go with a possible franchise qb with the 1st.
