Round 1 (3 overall)Larry Johnson, RB I'm betting that he'll come back strong from his holdout, and from 416 carries in 2006.

Round 2 (22)Steve Smith, WR Was a force last year despite injuries and double teams; plus, Panthers have a new offense.

Round 3 (27)Tom Brady, QB Was top-eight throwing to Reche Caldwell and Doug Gabriel; enter Moss, Stallworth and Welker.

Round 4 (46)Jerious Norwood, RB Vick's absence and Dunn's back surgery make Norwood the main Falcons threat.

Round 5 (51)Cadillac Williams, RB More like Dodge Stratus Williams after one TD in '06; I'll settle for a Chevy-like '07.

Round 6 (70)DeAngelo Williams, RB I expect him to prosper in coordinator Jeff Davidson's new zone-blocking scheme.

Round 7 (75)Braylon Edwards, WR Immensely talented, this third-year pro should break out no matter who the QB is.

Round 8 (94)DeShaun Foster, RB I've got DeRB situation for DePanthers locked up; I hope one back will get all DeCarries.

Round 9 (99)L.J. Smith, TE A healthy Donovan McNabb would help the solid Smith, who is entering a contract year.

Round 10 (118)Kevin Curtis, WR McNabb drops back to pass, hits the speedy Curtis on the slant. Repeat 75 times.

Round 11 (123)Dominic Rhodes, RB One can never be too rich, too thin or have too many starting RB options.

Round 12 (142)Byron Leftwich, QB Considered Matt Schaub, but then realized his bye week is the same as Brady's.

Round 13 (147)Dolphins DDeitsch grabbed the Dallas D, so I'll place my trust in Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas.

Round 14 (166)Stephen Gostkowski, K The Patriots should score more than the gang on Real World: Sydney.

Round 15 (171)Michael Bennett, RB I'm not buying into the Priest hype; if LJ doesn't sign, I think Bennett starts.

Round 16 (190)Eric Johnson, TE Saints tight ends caught only 45 balls in 2006; if healthy, Johnson tops that.
