    What I thought of the draft so far.

    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

    Don't kill me on this. Just posted what I thought about the draft so far after 20 rounds. Make up your own if you like.

    you thought the best pick in round 1 was an OT? a 10 mill, highest paid player ont he roster OT? No doubt Walter Jones is the best.... at least right there with Ogden... but the guys is close to, if not 30 and he's an OT.

    Somehow i get the feeling dropping 10 mill on a guy named Manning may have been a better move.

      Nice Job. except for the Jackson comment~
      I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
      "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
      You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
      It was all
      true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
      He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
      mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

        wow! three best picks and a reach! I like it!

          Nice comments. My pick of Barrett was a little reach, I agree. But he's the youngest one and the other CBs in your list get injured each year. I'm glad you liked my most recent picks. I was shocked that Reggie Hayward fell to me that far. He's only 25 and is going to be a damn good DE for my team. Daniel Graham was another one I was glad to snatch. He's a touchdown machine in NE and hopefully will keep that up with McNabb.

              I'm only on there with Droughns being a reach.

                I have a best pick and a sleeper... works for me. I'm not sure about Walter Jones with the best pick... Manning was the best player IMO.. so he should be the best pick. Also, I felt pretty good about getting Tomlinson with the 8th pick.

                  I think calling McGahee a sleeper at 10 million is wrong. I thought that was a bad pick, but I knew someone would do it. I also think Evans went way to early, but again, you knew it would happen.

                      McGahee=13 TDS Ahmhan Green = 7TDS and 7 fumbles

                      McGahee did his damage in11 games hmmmmmmmm better pick McGahee

                      Evans = 9TDS Clayton=7tds Johnson=6TDS and Evans didnt start till second half of the season no reaches there

                        Classic Bills fan syndrome.

                        Ahman Green- 3 million. McGahee- 10 million. Don't forget Willis didn't play in every game either, and will likely get some sort of injury in the Sim.

                        As for Evans, is he good? Yes. Did he go way too early? Yes. Don't forget Clayton was a rookie last year too, and Andre Johnson was a 2nd year.

                          Mc Gahee wasnt hurt last year and Green was, Green may go to jail this year McGahee wont just messing I dont really care, I like Mc Gahee and Evans as young weapons to go with Culpepper for years to come just was stirring the pot a little and I didnt draft them because of being Bills I drafted based on production and what was important to me production wise

                            Mc Gahee + Culpepper + Evans = $25 Mil and 63 TDS

                            Green + Mexico + Clayton = $16.5Mil and 32 TDS

                            Double the production not double the price

                              HE's not saying McGahee is a bad pick..... He;s saying it was a reach because he would have been available a few rounds later for less money. It's not about WHO you draft but WHEN and for how much.
