NFL Draft Predictions

I am going to give you my top 10 draft predictions only. Because the theory of my blog is, a lot of short posts will keep readers interested. If you want a blog where you get one high quality post every week or so, visit the Pizza Parlor. Derek is serving up a comprehensive mock draft piping hot for you. Make your own predictions in the group called Paul's Poop at ESPN's Draft Forecast.

Here goes my top 10:
1. Houston Texans: Reggie Bush. The best player. Simple.
2. New Orleans Saints: D'Brickashaw Ferguson. Offensive linemen make great high choices because they don't need anyone else around them to help them succeed the way skill position players do, and they operate with minimal fan pressure. UVa's resident Jet Fan Brian Cohen will be sad to see this.
3. Tennessee Titans: Vince Young. Believe it or not the coach and the O-coordinator are getting outvoted by the GM and the owner. Huge bust potential here.
4. New York Jets: Mario Williams. Could be the next Julius Peppers.
5. Green Bay Packers: AJ Hawk. I just heard that Hawk can flip his hips like a safety. I wonder if Laura Quinn told them that. As you know, the "hips don't lie."
6. San Francisco 49ers: Vernon Davis. This pick is even more sure than Bush.
7. Oakland Raiders: Matt Leinart. He falls far. Then porks a girl he meets at Marquis Saturday night.
8. Buffalo Bills: Haloti Ngata.
9. Detroit Lions: Michael Huff.
10. Arizona Cardinals: Jay Cutler.

Both PP Derek and I are going a little off track. The consensus I've been getting is Bush, Williams, Leinart, Brick, Hawk, Davis, Young.

Other notes:
LenDale White will go to Carolina at 27.
The Jets get the quarterback of the future in Oregon's Kellen Clemens. He may not fall to 35 so the Jets may have to take him at 29.
No one from Syracuse goes in the first round.
The Steelers take a wide receiver from Western Michigan with the last pick in the first round.
