ROUND ONE

 

1. Houston Texans: Reggie Bush, RB, USC (Joel Segal).

 

The Texans will pay lip service to the locals by pretending to agonize over the question of whether to pick Bush or Texas product Vince Young. Barring a trade down, it's Bush.

 

2. Baltimore Ravens (projected trade from Saints): Vince Young, QB, Texas (Major Adams).

 

The Saints could opt to stay put and draft a quarterback, but we have a weird feeling that the Ravens will fall in love with Young -- and could find a way to jump from No. 13 to snag him. For the Saints, who we hear covet a certain high-end defensive player, the drop by eleven spots will prevent them from getting him. However, the opportunity to slide back by eleven spots, and to avoid the big cash outlay associated with a top five pick, will be very, very tempting to the team's skinflint front office.

 

If the Saints stay put, don't be surprised if they take Matt Leinart, even with Drew Brees on the roster. Remember -- Brees' contract is essentially a one-year, $10 million deal.

 

3. Tennessee Titans: Matt Leinart, QB, USC (Leigh Steinberg, Charles Price).

 

The Titans love Young, and will take him if he's still on the board. They'll settle for the 2005 Heisman winner, who'll get a rude awakening when he doesn't have the same horses surrounding him as he did when he was a Trojan.

 

4. New York Jets: D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT, Virginia (Donald Yee, Stephen Dubin).

 

The fact that the Jets missed out on Jon Runyan has fueled speculation that Tangini will use D'Pick on D'Brick.

 

5. Green Bay Packers: A.J. Hawk, LB, Ohio State (Mike McCartney).

 

This kid was born to be a Packer.

 

6. San Francisco 49ers: Mario Williams, DE, N.C. State (Ben Dogra).

 

Williams would go higher in a year without such a top-heavy selection of quality players.

 

7. Oakland Raiders: Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland (Ethan Lock, Zeke Sandhu).

 

Better than Kellen Winslow, who went in the six hole two years ago. As an added plus, Davis doesn't own a motorcycle.

 

8. Buffalo Bills: Jonathan Joseph, CB, South Carolina (Jason Chayut).

 

With or without Nate Clements, the Bills need an upgrade.

Another mock from someone who obviously knows nothing about that Bills other than some stats. I firmly believe the Bills would trade down or take Bunkely or Ngata before they would take Joseph. When writers make predicitions like this, they lose creditability for everything else they scribble, too.
