) San Diego Chargers - QB Eli Manning ... Mississippi
The Chargers have options here. They can trade down. They could go WR or OL. But Manning is the right choice. The team is not sold on Drew Brees, and Doug Flutie is a stop gap alternative. Manning gives the Chargers a franchise QB that will thrive in time with the help of franchise RB LaDainian Tomlinson.

2) Oakland Raiders - WR Roy Williams ... Texas

The Raiders also have options. They too can trade down. QB is an option, but Al Davis wants to win now. Williams and WR Jerry Porter are the future for the Raiders, while they learn from two of the best ever...Jerry Rice and Tim Brown. In fact, don't be surprised to see one of the veteran WRs released. Williams is a big and fast. The Raider mentality has always been to go vertical. Williams can go deep and also has great leaping ability as well.

3) Arizona Cardinals - WR Larry Fitzgerald ... Pittsburgh

The Cardinals could go either QB or WR here. New head coach Denny Green has a history with Fitzgerald. Larry used to be a ball boy with the Vikings when he was younger. A tandem of Fitzgerald and WR Anquan Boldin would make life easier for young QB Josh McCown.

4) New York Giants - OT Robert Gallery ... Iowa

The Giants have had struggles with their offensive line for a couple of years, especially at tackle. Gallery is the perfect choice for the G-men. New head coach Tom Coughlin knows about stud OTs. He drafted Tony Boselli when he was with the Jaguars.

5) Washington Redskins - TE Kellen Winslow ... Miami (Fla.)

The Redskins have a new head coach in Joe Gibbs. They have a new QB in Mark Brunell. They have a new RB in Clinton Portis. They are about to add a new TE. Winslow would bring a new dimension to the offense, especially his ability to stretch the defense.

<b>13) Buffalo Bills - QB Philip Rivers ... North Carolina State

The Bills have little depth behind QB Drew Bledsoe, who is coming off a poor 2003 performance. Rivers has great size and good arm strength. More importantly, Rivers is a winner. He played very well in the Senior Bowl and definitely elevated his stock.</b>
