2005 NFL Mock Draft
By: Robert Davis | Updated: 4/20/2005

First Round | Second Round

1. San Francisco Marlin Jackson, CB, Michigan
   --With Rumph a possibility at free safety, they take the physical corner from Michigan.

2. Cleveland Darryl Blackstock, OLB, Virginia
   --Crennell needs to upgrade the defense, and the sackmaster from Virginia is familiar with the 3-4 defense.

3. Philadelphia (from Miami) Kevin Burnett, OLB, Tennessee
   --His athleticism and cover ability would be a nice fit in Philly.

4. Tampa Bay Jonathan Babineaux, DT, Iowa
   --His penetration ability would be a welcomed addition to that DLine. This pick may be traded for a RB, perhaps T. Henry or Edge James.

5. Tennessee Reggie Brown, WR, Georgia
   --After passing over WR in the first, they have to get one here. The reliable Brown would fit nicely with Calico and Bennett.

6. Oakland Channing Crowder, ILB, Florida
   --The Raiders take the chance on greatness in a D lacking in playmakers.

7. Chicago Odell Thurman, LB, Georgia
   --They need some more help at the spot, and Thurman brings a lot of versatility to the LB unit.

8. New Orleans (from Washington) Luis Castillo, DT, Northwestern
   --Under consideration in the first, he slides a little because of his steroid test.

9. Detroit Justin Tuck, DE, Notre Dame
   --Tuck may go higher come draft day, but the Lions would be ecstatic if he's still available.

10. Dallas Jerome Mathis, WR, Hampton
    --Brings much needed speed to the offense.

11. New York Giants C.J. Moseley, DT, Missouri
    --The Giants need a lot of help inside, and Moseley is the top DT left on the board.

12. Arizona Darrent Williams, CB, Oklahoma St.
    --Speedy corner fills a huge need in the secondary.

13. Carolina Brodney Pool, FS, Oklahoma
    --Brings whats been missing since Deon Grant left.

14. Kansas City Bryant McFadden, CB, Florida St.
    --This pick may be headed to Miami for Patrick Surtain, but if its not, a corner has to be taken.

15. Oakland(Houston) Stanley Wilson, CB, Stanford
    --They take the speedy corner from the Bay area to replace the recently traded Philip Buchanon.

16. Cincinnati David Baas, C, Michigan
    --May be the top C on some teams boards. Brings versatility to play guard and center.

17. Minnesota Mike Nugent, K, Ohio St.
    --Their biggest need left, and Nugent may be well worth the pick.

18. St. Louis Dan Cody, DE, Oklahoma
    --Pass rushers slide ends, and brings much needed talent up front.

19. Green Bay (from New Orleans) Charlie Frye, QB, Akron
    --They seriously consider taking him in the first, but are very happy he falls here. He may end up going higher on draft day.

20. Jacksonville Matt Roth, DE, Iowa
    --A guy on their board in the first, he falls here because of questions about his all around ability. Great pass rusher, not much else.

21. Baltimore Corey Webster, CB, LSU
    --A first rounder after his junior year, he slides because of a down year hampered by injury.

22. Seattle Matt McCoy, OLB, San Diego St.
    --Brings a lot of intensity and speed to the outside linebacker spot.

23. Buffalo Adam Terry, OT, Syracuse
    --A no brainer at this point.

24. Denver Fred Gibson, WR, Georgia
    --They get much needed WR with size and speed.

25. New York Jets Eric Green, CB, Virginia Tech
    --With Donnie Abraham contemplating retirement, this may be a need pick.

26. Green Bay Josh Bullocks, FS, Nebraska
    --With Sharper moving on, they need someone to replace him at the free safety spot.

27. Atlanta Marcus Johnson, OL, Ole Miss
    --Has the versatility to play in or out, and will do a lot to help keep the franchise healthy.

28. Indianapolis Domonique Foxworth, CB, Maryland
    --The upgrade to the D continues. A run on corners makes them reach a little bit for Foxworth.

29. San Diego Vincent Jackson, WR, Northern Colorado
    --The Chargers roll the dice on the huge WR from D1-AA. His size, speed, and production are amazing.

30. Pittsburgh Barrett Ruud, ILB, Nebraska
    --With Bell moving on, they need to address their inside linebacker depth.

31. Philadelphia Elton Brown, OG, Virginia
    --Arguably the top interior lineman on talent, he's slid a bit after his post season circuit. A steal this late.

32. New England Al Fincher, ILB, UConn
    --He returns home, where he grew up and attended high school. He's the ideal fit inside for the Patriots.
