[Specs]

1. Bengals take Southern Cal's QB Carson Palmer, it's a done deal, it will happen. Heisman winner throws away a great career. Again. Oh well.

2. Lions either trade pick or take WR Charles Rogers out of MSU, possibly the best skill position player in the draft, I'm not high on Palmer.

3. Houston says it will go with WR Andre Johnson, I don't think they will. If they hold on to the pick, however, they'll grab him for the reason the Lions take Rogers - a young QB needs someone to throw to.

4. New York traded up, IMO, to screw both Parcells and Belichick. I say they take K-State's CB Terrence Newman, the guy Parcells wanted.

5. Dallas can take Terrell Suggs if they want, but will likely have to grab UK's DT Dewayne Robertson, the best defensive player on the board.

6. Arizona stays in-state and grabs State's DE Terell Suggs, who has slipped.

7. Minnesota may trade, but if they don't DT Jimmy Kennedy out of Penn State is the best defensive player on the board.

8. Jacksonville will look at a QB, but they have no line and could sure use Utah's LT Jordan Gross

9. Carolina should take Marshall's Q.B Byron Leftwich no questions asked.

10. Baltimore loves QB Kyle Boller out of Cal for reasons I can't fathom, but whatever.

11. Seattle wants Kennedy, but I think he'll go to Minnesota, who have a tradition of taking slipping players (see Randy Moss). They'll grab OK-State's DT Kevin Williams as a consolation prize.

12. St. Louis is thrilled that Wash St. CB Marcus Trufant is still on the board, and they pick him.

13-15. DT's Jonathan Sullivan, Ty Warren, and William Joseph will go in some order to Chicago, New England, and San Diego. I'm not going to waste my time guessing who will go where.

16. Kansas City is disappointed that all the good DT's are off the board, and opts for DE Jerome McDougle out of Miami.

17-18. New Orleans will take USC's S Troy Polamalu with one of the picks, and spend the other on either C Jeff Faine out of Notre Dame or G Eric Steinbach out of Iowa. I say Faine will go, but Steinbach should.

19. New England would love G Eric Steinbach if he's still there, but if New Orleans takes him, I say they take Kelly Washington.

20. Denver is stuck with the best DE Kansas City doesn't take, which in my scenario is pass rushing DE Michael Haynes from Penn State. They could also take undersized Chris Kelsay.

21. The Browns should take LB Boss Bailey, but I bet they'll go for Oklahoma's CB Andre Woolfolk instead.

22. Chicago's second pick will be an offensive lineman, and the last first-round talent available is Stanford's T Kwame Harris

23. Buffalo will grab LB Boss Bailey out of Georgia if they can.

Rest when I get back.
