1. San Diego (1-15) - Michael Vick - QB - Virginia Tech
The Chargers have gone through the complete evaluation process and hope to have an agreement with Vick this week. He is a terrific prospect for the position with rare mobility and running skills and a very strong arm. He is inexperienced as a pocket passer and will benefit from playing behind veteran scrambler Doug Flutie. He will also benefit greatly with working with new offensive coordinator Norv Turner who has been instrumental in the development of several star passers, including Troy Aikman. Alternative Pick: None

2. Arizona (3-13) - Justin Smith - DE - Missouri
The Cardinals will most likely trade back and have received an offer from the Packers who hold the 10th overall selection. The Cards have many needs, especially along their front four. If they stay put, they would opt for DE Justin Smith instead of a tackle because the tackle class is much deeper and they can address that area later on the first day. The Packers are willing to flip spots but will not offer next year's top pick. They have offered a No. 2 pick plus a player and middle round selections. Alternative Pick: DT Gerard Warren

3. Cleveland (3-13) - David Terrell - WR - Michigan
The Browns have blown a lot of smoke about this selection. They have targeted wideout David Terrell since day one and are praying the Cards do not get the deal done with the Packers. Terrell's foot problem will not need an operation. He has big-time ability and a player with the complete package to make an immediate impact working with young QB Tim Couch. Alternative Pick: DE Justin Smith

4. Cincinnati (4-12) - Leonard Davis - OT - Texas
The Bengals are looking for a bookend tackle opposite right OT Willie Anderson. Davis will be hard to pass on at this spot and gives them a player who is ready to come in and start as a rookie. His high level of development could be the catalyst for young QB Akili Smith to finally put it all together. Alternative Pick: WR David Terrell

5. Atlanta (4-12) - Koren Robinson - WR - North Carolina State
The Falcons are looking for an impact player for their struggling offense. Robinson gives them a legitimate deep threat to stretch the defense. His poor late workout is a concern, but he has the tools to become a top NFL playmaker. Alternative Pick: OT Leonard Davis

6. New England (5-11) - Gerard Warren - DT - Florida
The Patriots have also talked about moving back, but have become endeared with either Warren or Walker at this spot. Warren gives them an anchor in the middle for Belichick to center his defense around. Walker is a bookend tackle who is capable of elevating the line play significantly. Alternative Pick: OT Kenyatta Walker

7. Seattle (From Dallas) - Rod Gardner - WR - Clemson
The Seahawks are looking for playmakers on their front four and at wide receiver. They expect to land both needs with two No. 1 picks. Gardner is a fast-rising player who combines fine size and athleticisim with good speed and playmaking ability. They are hoping Koren Robinson slides to this pick. Alternative Pick: WR Koren Robinson

8. CHICAGO BEARS - (5-11) - LaDainian Tomlinson - RB - TCU
The Bears are looking to add a feature back early in the draft and have earmarked Tomlinson as their guy. He impressed them at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine and gives them a player to build an offense around. Alternative Pick: DL Richard Seymour

9. San Francisco (6-10) - Dan Morgan - LB - Miami (Fla.)
The 49ers are attempting to trade back for additional top 50 picks with both the Jaguars and Redskins talking to them at this point. The Niners love Morgan because he can be plugged in immediately in their defense as a starter. There is a possibility they could still land him with a trade back to the Jaguars. A defensive end would also be a high priority at this spot with Jamal Reynolds or Richard Seymour most likely. Alternative Pick: DE Jamal Reynolds

10. Green Bay (From Seattle) - Jamal Reynolds - DE - Florida State
Packers GM Ron Wolf is looking to finish his career in personnel with a splash. He wants to give Brett Favre a home-run hitter and will attempt to pull off the trade with the Cardinals for the 2nd overall pick to land wideout David Terrell. He will not though, relinquish next year's top selection to get it done. With no trade, they will consider the highest rated wideout and defensive linemen here with wideouts Rod Gardner and Chad Johnson and DL Richard Seymour and Marcus Stroud strong possibilities. Alternative Pick: WR Rod Gardner

11. Carolina (7-9) - Deuce McAllister - RB - Mississippi
The Panthers need a feature back to couple with Tim Biakabutuka who has been injury prone throughout his career. McAllister has had his own injury history which makes him a risky pick. They are interested in linebackers and corners and Dan Morgan is a strong possibility if he is on the board. Alternative Pick: LB Dan Morgan

12. Kansas City (7-9) - Richard Seymour - DT - Georgia
The Chiefs have several major needs including running back, quarterback and defensive line. They are hoping for one of the premier tailbacks here, QB Drew Brees or one of the top defensive tackles -- Richard Seymour or Marcus Stroud. It could all be academic if they trade this pick for veteran QB Trent Green. Alternative Pick: RB Deuce McAllister

13. Jacksonville (7-9) - Kenyatta Walker - OT - Florida
The Jaguars love Kenyatta Walker and are willing to trade up several spots to secure him. He is the perfect fit for their right side tackle spot which protects QB Mark Brunell's blindside. At this spot, Walker will most likely be gone which could force them to select either Michigan linemen -- tackle Jeff Backus or guard Steve Hutchinson. Alternative Pick: G Steve Hutchinson

14. Buffalo (8-8) - Steve Hutchinson - G - Michigan
New Bills GM Tom Donahoe is back in the saddle after a short absence from the top post. He is as good a talent evaluator as their is in the NFL. The Bills have several pressing needs especially on both lines. Hutchinson would be an instant starter on a shaky offensive line, replacing the departed Joe Panos. They also will give DT Marcus Stroud strong consideration here. Stroud would be an excellent replacement and new anchor in the middle for departed Ted Washington. Alternative Pick: DT Marcus Stroud

15. Washington (8-8) - Chad Johnson - WR - Oregon State
The Redskins have several major needs at wideout and guard and only four total draft picks. They are looking for speed on the outside and may have their choice of Rod Gardner, Chad Johnson and Santana Moss. Johnson gives them a legitimate deep threat opposite Michael Westbrook. Moss is a possibility here. A surprise pick could be guard Steve Hutchinson if he is not chosen earlier. Alternative Pick: WR Santana Moss

16. Pittsburgh (9-7) - Marcus Stroud - DT - Georgia
The Steelers have several pressing needs on their once powerful defense. They need an anchor in the middle and Marcus Stroud would be a sound pick here. They also are looking for their QB of the future after passing on Chad Pennington last year. They could select Drew Brees here and come back in the deep tackle class in round two. Alternative Pick: QB Drew Brees

17. Seattle (From Green Bay) - Andre Carter - DE - California
The Seahawks will address their front four early in the draft despite several free-agent additions. If one of the top three ends slides to this spot, they most likely will jump on him. They will consider a top cornerback here with Smoot and Clements getting strong consideration. Alternative Pick: CB Fred Smoot

18. Detroit (9-7) - Drew Brees - QB - Purdue
The Lions will not hestiate to select Brees if he is on the board after continued injury problems with Charlie Batch. They would love to draft guard Hutchinson but he is most likely gone. A defensive linemen will get a lot of consideration here with Damione Lewis and Shaun Rogers the highest rated. Alternative Pick: DT Damione Lewis

19. New York Jets (9-7) - Santana Moss - WR - Miami (Fla.)
The Jets are looking for a playmaking at wide receiver and in the return game and Moss meets both needs. They will most likely have their choice of Moss, Chad Johnson or Reggie Wayne here. They are moving to a 4-3 defensive set and will also consider a DT here with Damione Lewis the highest rated prospect. Alternative Pick: WR Chad Johnson

20. St. Louis (10-6) - Damione Lewis - DT - Miami (Fla.)
The Rams' defensive front seven has many needs and they most likely will address them early and often. Lewis would be an excellent addition to the inside providing the quickness to make plays sideline to sideline. Alternative Pick: DT Shaun Rogers

21. Tampa Bay (10-6) - Jeff Backus - OT - Michigan
The Buccaneers are hoping one of the top offensive tackles falls to them and Backus is the third highest rated prospect. He will most likely be available here and is a well-developed prospect who can start as a rookie. They will consider a receiver here and look to add a speedy receiver like Freddie Mitchell. Alternative Pick: WR Freddie Mitchell

22. Indianapolis (10-6) - Fred Smoot - CB - Mississippi State
The Colts are focusing on cover men and front four defenders with this pick. Smoot is the best pure cover man in this draft class and would be a fine addition for their secondary. They will also consider either DTs Damione Lewis or Shaun Rogers at this spot. Alternative Pick: DT Damione Lewis

23. New Orleans (10-6) - Nate Clements - CB - Ohio State
The Saints are in an interesting spot with clear needs at cornerback and tight end. Their defense has needs in the secondary with corner a high priority. They could surprise and select TE Todd Heap who would give them another weapon for their passing game. Alternative Pick: TE Todd Heap

24. Denver (11-5) - Todd Heap - TE - Arizona State
The Broncos' offense would benefit greatly from the addition of Heap. He has the speed and receiving skills to give them a dimension they have not had since Shannon Sharpe left. They will also continue to rebuild a defense that is undergoing major changes this offseason. Alternative Pick: CB Nate Clements

25. Philadelphia (11-5) - LaMont Jordan - RB - Maryland
The Eagles will most likely add a skill position player here with wide receiver a top priority. If there is a run on wideouts before their pick they could opt for running back LaMont Jordan or Michael Bennett here. Jordan would be an excellent compliment for Duce Staley. The highest rated receiver on the board here would most likely be Reggie Wayne who is one of the more developed receivers in this class. Alternative Pick: WR Reggie Wayne

26. Miami (11-5) - Freddie Mitchell - WR - UCLA
The Dolphins are looking to draft into the deep receiving class with this selection. Either Freddie Mitchell, Quincy Morgan or Reggie Wayne would be an excellent fit here. Wayne is well developed and could start as a rookie. Alternative Pick: WR Quincy Morgan

27. Minnesota (11-5) - Will Allen - CB - Syracuse
The Vikings have many major needs with the secondary a high priority. They will give Allen, Smoot or Middlebrooks strong consideration here. Allen is a fast-rising prospect with the best speed at the position. Alternative Pick: CB Willie Middlebrooks

28. Oakland (12-4) - Derrick Gibson - S - Florida State
The Raiders will entertain both safeties Gibson and Archuleta. They are hoping one of the premier receivers falls to this pick but that is a longshot. They would love to trade up and beat the Broncos to Todd Heap and have spoken to both the Bucs and Saints. Alternative Pick: SS Adam Archuleta

29. St. Louis (From Tennessee) - DeLawrence Grant - DE - Oregon State
The Rams have major holes along their front four and may address them twice in the first round. Grant is the fourth highest rated DE on many boards and one of the fastest rising players in this draft class. He could fill the spot vacated by the traded Kevin Carter. Alternative Pick: DT Shaun Rogers

30. New York Giants (12-4) - Ken Lucas - CB - Mississippi
The Giants should be able to select a top cover man here with Lucas, Willie Middlebrooks and possibly Will Allen available. Lucas is a solid prospect and worthy of this selection. They could surprise and select a receiver like Reggie Wayne if Ike Hilliard's neck problems are career threatening. Alternative Pick: CB Will Allen

31. Baltimore (12-4) - Adam Archuleta - S - Arizona State
The Ravens lost both Rod Woodson and Kim Herring from their Super Bowl defense and Archuleta is a hard-nosed defender who would be an excellent addition to their awesome defense. They would love to select Todd Heap but he has become one of the fastest rising players in this class. Alternative Pick: C Dominic Raiola

32. San Diego - Reggie Wayne - WR - Miami (Fla.)
Chargers need a young reliable receiver and Wayne is as well developed as any receiver in this class.

33. Cleveland - Kevan Barlow - RB - Pittsburgh
