1. Texans: Mario Williams, DE, N.C. State

He's signed, in large part because he was willing to accept a contract Reggie Bush rejected.

2. Saints: Reggie Bush, RB, Southern Cal

The consensus best player in the draft unexpectedly falls into their lap.

3. Titans: Vince Young, QB, Texas

Matt Leinart or Young? Leinart appears the safer pick, but it could go either way.

4. Jets: Matt Leinart, QB, USC

They've been telling everyone they won't take a QB, which is why they will .

5. Packers: D'Brickashaw Ferguson, T, Virginia

They can't pass up Ferguson if he falls to them.

6. 49ers: Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland

QB Alex Smith needs help.

7. Raiders: A.J. Hawk, LB, Ohio State

He'll make someone's defense better immediately.

8. Bills: Brodrick Bunkley, DT, Florida State

A run-stuffer for the middle of the defensive line.

9. Lions: Michael Huff, S, Texas

The Cowboys would love to have him, but he won't last that long.

10. Cardinals: Jay Cutler, QB, Vanderbilt

Dennis Green can't let a gifted QB slip past him.

11. Rams: Haloti Ngata, DT, Oregon

Only two DTs are worth first-round picks.

12. Browns: Tye Hill, CB, Clemson

He's small, but he might be the best cover guy available.

13. Ravens: Ernie Sims, LB, Florida State

He's on the small side, but he's talented.

14. Eagles: Winston Justice, T, USC

Andy Reid loves drafting linemen.

15. Broncos: Manny Lawson, DE/LB, N.C. State

The first of the 'tweeners comes off the board.

16. Dolphins: Chad Jackson, WR, Florida

Jackson or Santonio Holmes? It could go either way on which WR goes first.

17. Vikings: DeAngelo Williams, RB, Memphis

He's short but not necessarily small.

18. Cowboys: Donte Whitner, S, Ohio State

They need safety help.

19. Chargers: Santonio Holmes, WR, Ohio State

This could be it for first-round WRs unless Sinorice Moss slips into the bottom of the round.

20. Chiefs: Jimmy Williams, CB, Virginia Tech

Scouts no longer regard him as a can't-miss prospect, as they once did.

21. Patriots: Kamerion Wimbley, DE/LB, Florida State

Willie McGinest is gone and needs to be replaced.

22. 49ers: Antonio Cromartie, CB, Florida State

There are injury concerns, but he's too good to drop too much further.

23. Buccaneers: Chad Greenway, LB, Iowa

The LBs could dominate the second half of the first round.

24. Bengals: Tamba Hali, DE, Penn State

A good player and an impressive person.

25. Giants: Bobby Carpenter, LB, Ohio State

The Giants signed LaVar Arrington but still could use more manpower at LB.

26. Bears: DeMeco Ryans, LB, Alabama

LB Lance Briggs is a free agent after next season.

27. Panthers: Laurence Maroney, RB, Minnesota

With Stephen Davis gone, Carolina needs a runner to split carries with DeShaun Foster.

28. Jaguars: Johnathan Joseph, CB, South Carolina

He played only 14 games of major college football, but he has NFL tools.

29. Jets: Nick Mangold, C, Ohio State

A replacement for Kevin Mawae.

30. Colts: Joseph Addai, RB, LSU

The Colts are desperate for a RB.

31. Seahawks: Mathias Kiwanuka, DE, Boston College

His stock has been dropping, but he has pass-rush talent. A guard also is a possibility, with the loss of Steve Hutchinson.

32. Steelers: LenDale White, RB, USC

A replacement for Jerome Bettis. Moss is also an option as a replacement for Antwaan Randle El.
