1. Texans Mario Williams N.C. State DE
The Skinny: The Texans shock everyone with this pick. Maybe they were scared off by Bush's negative news in recent days. Passing on Bush could haunt Houston.
2. Saints Reggie Bush USC RB
The Skinny: Heisman Trophy winner and human highlight reel Reggie Bush fell into the Saints' lap, and they were more than happy to take such a versatile talent.
3. Titans Vince Young Texas QB
The Skinny: The Titans' front office wins a power struggle with the coaching staff, selecting the more athletic, but less polished Young instead of Matt Leinart.
4. Jets D'Brickashaw Ferguson Virginia T
The Skinny: The Jets resist the temptation to select Leinart and go the safe route, drafting Ferguson to protect in-house QB options Pennington and Ramsey.
5. Packers A.J. Hawk Ohio State LB
The Skinny: "Safe" is quickly becoming the mantra of this draft. The Packers get Brett Favre some help, shoring up one of the NFL's worst defenses with Hawk.
6. 49ers Vernon Davis Maryland TE
The Skinny: Davis, a phenomenal athletic talent especially for a tight end, goes to the Niners, who hope they've found the next Antonio Gates. He'll have to improve his blocking.
7. Raiders Michael Huff Texas S
The Skinny: The Raiders become the latest team to snub Leinart, selecting the consensus best defensive back on the board in Texas' Huff.
8. Bills Donte Whitner Ohio State S
The Skinny: Buffalo pulls the next legit shocker, picking a second Buckeye in the top 10. Whitner projects as a possible corner because of his tremendous speed.
9. Lions Ernie Sims Florida State LB
The Skinny: Defense is becoming the theme of the first round. Detroit desperately needed defense, going with Sims, who reminds some of another 'Nole LB, Derrick Brooks.
10. Cardinals Matt Leinart USC QB
The Skinny: That sigh of relief you heard was Matt Leinart after finally going to the Cardinals. Whispers about Leinart's arm strength caused his stock to plummet, but he will get a chance to win right away with Dennis Green and Arizona.
11. Broncos (via STL) Jay Cutler Vanderbilt QB
The Skinny: The Broncos trade up to get Jake Plummer's heir apparent. Cutler has the best physical tools of any QB available this year, and many believe the Vandy product is the best signal-caller in the draft.
12. Ravens (via CLE) Haloti Ngata Oregon DT
The Skinny: Disgruntled star Ray Lewis wanted help on defense and he gets it in Ngata. The knock on the Oregon DT is he sometimes takes plays off. That might change with intensity machine Lewis behind him.
13. Browns (via BAL) Kamerion Wimbley Florida State DE
The Skinny: Romeo Crennel continues to overhaul the Browns' defense by drafting Wimbley. Cleveland hopes he can blossom under the tutelage of Willie McGinest
14. Eagles Brodrick Bunkley Florida State DT
The Skinny: The Eagles bolster a strength, adding Bunkley to a deep defensive line. The space-clogging tackle becomes the third FSU player drafted in the top 15.
15. Rams (via DEN) Tye Hill Clemson CB
The Skinny: The Rams trade down and still get the player they want in Hill. St. Louis may spark a run on corners by selecting the speedy Clemson star.
16. Dolphins Jason Allen Tennessee DB
The Skinny: Nick Saban elects not to build the offense around new QB Daunte Culpepper in the first round, instead picking 'tweener defensive back Allen.
17. Vikings Chad Greenway Iowa OLB
The Skinny: Defense, defense, defense. Brad Childress uses his first pick as Vikes coach to take the Iowa product. There are some concerns about Greenway's lack of speed.
18. Cowboys Bobby Carpenter Ohio State LB
The Skinny: Carpenter becomes the third Buckeye selected in the first round and the eighth straight defensive player picked. Parcells, no doubt, likes Carpenter's NFL pedigree.
19. Chargers Antonio Cromartie Florida State CB
The Skinny: The Chargers pick a raw product in Cromartie. The FSU corner is speedy, especially for his size, but he'll need a lot of development. If Cromartie doesn't work as a DB, he might be able to play WR.
20. Chiefs Tamba Hali Penn State DE
The Skinny: The Chiefs have needed defensive help for years, and they get it in the Penn State defensive end. Hali is the feel-good story of the first round, immigrating from war-torn Liberia to NFL riches.
21. Patriots Laurence Maroney Minnesota RB
The Skinny: In a mild surprise, the Patriots take a running back in the first round. The Maroney selection has to make one wonder what Corey Dillon has left in the tank.
22. 49ers Manny Lawson N.C. State DE
The Skinny: The Niners needed help everywhere so they got a stud on the defensive side with their second pick in the first round. Lawson was projected to go in the top 20. His slide only benefits the talent-bankrupt 49ers.
23. Bucs Davin Joseph Oklahoma G
The Skinny: Questions about Winston Justice's character helped Joseph sneak into the first round. The Bucs shied away from Justice due to numerous run-ins with the law.
24. Bengals Johnathan Joseph South Carolina CB
The Skinny: It's been a long time since the Bengals drafted this low. The run on secondary players continues as Marvin Lewis brings Joseph to Cincy.
25. Steelers (via NYG) Santonio Holmes Ohio State WR
The Skinny: The Super Bowl champs trade up to pick the first wideout of the draft after losing Antwaan Randle-El in the offseason. Holmes isn't neccessarily a gamebreaker, but he is the most polished receiver in a weak crop.
26. Bills (via CHI) John McCargo N.C. State DT
The Skinny: The Bills continue to puzzle draft experts, trading up to select McCargo, the third defensive player from N.C. State taken in the first round. This follows Buffalo over-drafting for Whitner at No. 8
27. Panthers DeAngelo Williams Memphis RB
The Skinny: After a string of injuries strained their depth in the playoffs, the Panthers select Williams. Some have compared the Memphis star to the Chargers' LaDainian Tomlinson.
28. Jaguars Marcedes Lewis UCLA TE
The Skinny: The Jags biggest problem the last couple of years has been offense. Jacksonville gets another target for QB Byron Leftwich in Lewis.
29. Jets Nick Mangold Ohio State C
The Skinny: Another pick, another Buckeye. The Jets follow up their pick of Ferguson at No. 2 by adding another offensive lineman. Mangold will likely replace the departed Kevin Mawae.
30. Colts Joseph Addai LSU RB
The Skinny: Quite obviously, Addai is a replacement for the loss of Edgerrin James to free agency. Much like Santonio Smith, Addai isn't a gamebreaker but he should fit in nicely with the Colts' offense.
31. Seahawks Kelly Jennings Miami (Fla.) CB
The Skinny: It took a long time for the first Hurricane to get picked. The NFC champs take the solid Jennings, the seventh defensive back selected in the first round.
32. Giants (via PIT) Mathias Kiwanuka Boston College DE
The Skinny: The Giants traded out of the No. 25 spot and took a player many didn't expect to go until the late second round at No. 32. Kiwanuka can probably pick up a few things from Michael Strahan.
