Welcome to the first edition of the way too early mock draft Here's how it works. We're doing a top 10 mock I've included all the traded pics as well They are as follows: 1 Jacksonvile 0-5 2 Detroit 0-4 3 Seattle 0-4 4 Carolina Via Kansas city 0-4 5 Denver Via Tennessee 1-4 6 New Orleans 1-4 7 Arizona via Cleveland 1-4 8 Tennessee via new York giants 1-4 9 Buffalo 1-3 10 San Diego via Dallas 2-3
I will then pick a player from a position of what this team could need during the 2005 draft briefly explain why I picked that particular position not necessarily the player
1 CB Adam Jones Height: 5-10 Weight: 185 College: West Virginia When I look at the Jacksonville roster the need for a top Corner sticks out like a sore thumb I could see Adam Jones coming in there He's an immediate upgrade over Tim Walmsley or jerametrius Butler But we really won't know until released the draft class in another few months
2 WR Braylon Edwards Height: 6-3 Weight: 214 College: Michigan When I look at the lion's that receiving Corps it's tired They need new blood their best receiver is a 34 year who is an old over the hill retread Edwards could only help their Young quarterback who has struggled due to dropped Passes
3 FS Josh Bullocks Height: 6-0 Weight: 207 College: Nebraska The Seahawks have a very young experienced free safeties I just would rather see somebody it's not such a late round pick
4 QB Aaron Rodgers Height: 6-2 Weight: 225 College: California Darryl usually likes veteran quarterbacks but maybe a guy like Aaron Rodgers can change his mind. Bernal was not getting any younger and I have no confidence in any of the backups including Gus Frerotte
5 CB Fabian Washington Height: 5-11 Weight: 175 College: Nebraska If you look at the Broncos secondary they have a lot of guys who are near the last year their contracts Washington would be an absolutely great pick here
6 MLB Barrett Ruud Height: 6-2 Weight: 241 College: Nebraska New Orleans has a decent starting middle linebacker But looking at the roster the depth behind them when you're playing at 34 Is very lackluster Rudd would be an absolute stud here
7 DT Mike Patterson Height: 6-1 Weight: 300 College: USC Tyler Richardson is an absolute genius He's back in the top 10 is this season pans out like I've projected What I look at the defense of line in Arizona it's spot where I could see an upgrade Of course he could always trade out and gather more pics for next year
8 WR Mike Williams Height: 6-5 Weight: 235 College USC Gary Cohen does this every year he trades around I'm still comes up with a high pick in the first round Although they do have a lot of receivers on the roster None or anything close to a 6'5 235 lb wrecking ball like Williams
9 DT Sione Po'uha Height: 6-3 Weight: 325 College: Utah Buffalo's best defensive tackle is 32 years old Po'uha could be the answer on the other side He could eventually be Williams replacement
10 OLB Derrick Johnson Height: 6-3 Weight: 245 College Texas San Diego's linebacking Corps has some good pieces Well another one Falls in their lap if Will does the draft Justice Ben Johnson will be an absolute nightmare for people in the AFC West
Now these are just projections Since I don't know how are commissioner will juggle the players And their attributes but I figured it would be nice to give this a swing I hope you guys enjoy the entertainment value
