Round 1
Best Pick: Walter Jones; 0 sacks given up, 1 penalty (false start) almost perfect last year
Sleeper: Willis McGahee; potential to be great at just 23 years old
Reach: Kevin Mawae; $10m for a center is very steep; next center didn't go til 4th round
Round 2
Best Pick: Champ Bailey; While some say overrated he's still the best corner in the league
Sleeper: Jonathon Vilma; If last year is any indication he is going to be great; yet another Miami U superstar
Reach: No real reaches here but Bulluck with the 1st pick in the 2nd is questionable
Round 3
Best Pick: Willie Roaf; an older player but a stud at LT
Sleeper: Terell Suggs; unbelievable rookie year and a solid sophmore year; just on the cusp of being great
Reach: Michael Lewis; a young probowl safety but I thought there were better safeties available
Round 4
Best Pick: Randy Moss; ok so he was hurt but he's still the best
Sleeper: Ltio Sheppard; played at a probowl level last year and a good return man
Reach: Jeff Saturday; call me a center hater but too early for 1
Round 5
Best Pick: Deuce McAllister; getting him at this point with all those RBs on the board is an absolute steal
Sleeper: Robert Gallery; will get his shot at left tackle this year and has all the makings to be the best pick of this round
Reach: Steven Jackson; really didn't like this pick with other more talented backs available
Round 6
Best Pick: Hines Ward; big time WR who doesn't get the name recognition but a big time all around WR
Sleeper: Jordan Gross; superb run blocker with a mean streak who has improved at pass blocking
Reach: Aaron Smith; good solid player but nothing special; see Shaun Ellis
Round 7
Best Pick: Casey Hampton; he was hurt last year but 1 of the top DTs in the league falls to the 7th round
Sleeper: Roy Williams; showed the potential last year of joining the upper level of wideouts
Reach: Jake Delhomme; thought it was kind of a panic pick; oh crap I need a QB lets take the guy who is slightly better or even with the other QBs; could have waited
Round 8
Best Pick: Ed Hartwell; the guy is going to show how good he is this year
Sleeper: Dunta Robinson; honorable mention to Fitzgerald but Robinson is an absolute stud at the cornerback position
Reach: Billy Volek; not a big fan of his and was in the same situation as the Delhomme pick
Round 9
Best Pick: Derrick Mason; the most consistant wideout in the game; overlooked at times
Sleeper: Mike Williams; showed the last half of last year how dominating he could be
Reach: Alex Brown; nice player but could have gotten him later on
Round 10
Best Pick: Kevin Jones; when he played he was simply brilliant; he and Willis will lead the league at RB in the future
Sleeper: Tommie Harris; very good rookie year and is playing on a very stoud defensive line in Chicago
Reach: David Barrett; decent player but before Bly, Rolle, Law, etc?
Round 11
Best Pick: Priest Holmes; yes he was hurt but he still had 13 TDs; Holmes, Jones and Green all slipped through the cracks
Sleeper: Kenechi Udeze; very good rookie year and now playing on a defensive line with the Williams', James, and Johnstone
Reach: Brad Hopkins; older tackle who is really declining; may be moved to RT
Round 12
Best Pick: Nate Burleson; should shine alongside Williamson; drafted in the 12th and then in 2 rounds following
Sleeper: Eric Steinbach: this guy is a good player who slipped through the cracks in the NFL draft and in our draft
Reach: Eli Manning; not a good rookie year but was the #1 overall pick so he must be good.. right?
Round 13
Best Pick: Jamie Sharper; the guy is a tackling machine; always around the ball
Sleeper: Ken Hamlin; was suprised he made the move to FS from SS so easily; "Hard hittin Hamlin"
Reach: Joey Harrington; before Carr and Palmer?
Round 14
Best Pick: Eric Barton; was all over the place last year; plays on a very good Jets defense
Sleeper: Ashley Lelie; breakout year last year and the best YPC in the league; big play guy finally caught on
Reach: There was a few I thought but Rueben Droughns stands out the most
Round 15
Best Pick: David Carr; the 19th best quarterback in the league? I don't think so; a steal
Sleeper: David Carr; all the makings of being a stud QB for years to come
Reach: Joey Galloway; its not even like he's young where you can take the lousy #s
Round 16
Best Pick: Anquan Boldin; sure he was hurt but he still is 1 of the best young WRs in the league; a steal
Sleeper: Carson Palmer; see David Carr
Reach: None; put a gun to my head Vincent
Round 17
Best Pick: Kennoy Kennedy; 1 of only a few very good strong safeties that were remaining at the time
Sleeper: Chris Snee; dominator in the run game and improving in the pass; honorable mention Winslow Jr
Reach: Antwan Randle El; thought it was much too early for him
Round 18
Best Pick: Daniel Graham; really like this pick; good blocker and a guy who always finds the end zone
Sleeper: Teddy Lehman; slipped through the cracks a bit; has all the potential to be a big time backer
Reach: Adam Vinateiri; he's the best kicker but alittle early for kickers
Round 19
Best Pick: Reggie Hayward; 2 good years in a row is not a fluke; just 25 years old
Sleeper: Jake Grove; nice versatility but has the potential to be the best center in the league
Reach: Boss Bailey; Probably could have waited on him and through him on your bench late
Round 20
Best Pick: Chris Gamble; very good rookie year and has the size you look for at cornerback but with the turn ability of a corner
Sleeper: Madieu Williams; very good rookie year who played well on an up and coming team
Reach: Dan Wilkinson; could have done without him
