(Updated on April 27, 2007)

2007 NFL Mock Draft

1. Oakland Raiders
	JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU -- The owner wants Russell; the head coach wants Quinn. Whom do you think wins?
2. Detroit Lions
	Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech -- Very simple: Because he's the best player in the draft.
3. Cleveland Browns
	Joe Thomas, T, Wisconsin -- It's either Quinn or Joe Thomas, and Browns move to beef up OL.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
	Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson -- Might still swing a deal for Johnson; otherwise, it's an understudy for Simeon Rice.
5. Arizona Cardinals
	Adrian Peterson, RB, Okahoma -- Cards follow Saints' lead from 2006 and go for best value.
6. Washington Redskins
	LaRon Landry, S, LSU -- Could look for best pass rusher but Landry is too good to pass up.
7. Minnesota Vikings
	Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame -- He drops this far only if Browns and Bucs back off ... and they will.
8. Atlanta Falcons
	Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas -- Would take Landry; otherwise, looking to replace Patrick Kerney.
9. Miami Dolphins
	Levi Brown, T, Penn State -- A perfect fit: He's a masher, and Dolphins must beef up line.
10. Houston Texans
	Darrelle Revis, CB, Pittsburgh -- Never enough CBs when you play in Peyton Manning's division.
11. San Francisco 49ers
	Patrick Willis, LB, Mississippi -- Mike Nolan coached him at Senior Bowl and made his decision then.
12. Buffalo Bills
	Leon Hall, CB, Michigan -- Another chance for Marv Levy to pick up a Big Ten cornerback.
13. St. Louis Rams
	Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska -- They'd love to take a CB, but without Hall and Revis this is best option.
14. Carolina Panthers
	Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Ohio State -- Because Panthers have been looking for speed opposite Steve Smith for years.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers
	Lawrence Timmons, LB, Florida State -- Terrific pass rusher who takes the spot of Joey Porter.
16. Green Bay Packers
	Marshawn Lynch, RB, California -- Could go in any direction; OK, I admit it: This is a need pick.
17. Jacksonville Jaguars
	Reggie Nelson, S, Florida -- Because he's the best player at this position in the draft.
18. Cincinnati Bengals
	Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville -- Time for Sam Adams to retire; this is ideal replacement.
19. Tennessee Titans
	Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee -- Titans need to give Vince Young receivers; they can start here.
20. New York Giants
	Aaron Ross, CB, Texas -- Giants looking at CB or DT; They'll take Ross over Justin Harrell.
21. Denver Broncos
	Jarvis Moss, DE, Florida -- Broncos find the speed pass rusher they’re missing.
22. Dallas Cowboys
	Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU -- Need a CB, S and WR, and Bowe is best value on board.
23. Kansas City Chiefs
	Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee -- Could go for Staley at OT, too; if Harrell is here he's the pick.
24. New England Patriots (from Seattle)
	Jon Beason, LB, Miami --Not a perfect fit for all defenses, but he's right at home here.
25. N.Y. Jets
	Greg Olsen, TE, Miami -- Jets' faithful won't like TE pick, but Olsen fills gaping hole.
26. Philadelphia Eagles
	Michael Griffin, S, Texas -- Time to start finding a replacement for Brian Dawkins.
27. New Orleans Saints
	Paul Posluszny, LB Penn State -- Because the Saints couldn't stop the run during the season or playoffs.
28. New England Patriots
	Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas -- He’s the best cover corner in the draft; Pats can’t pass him up.
29. Baltimore Ravens
	Joe Staley, T, Central Michigan -- So Jonathan Ogden is back; he's winding down and OL needs help.
30. San Diego Chargers
	David Harris, LB, Michigan -- Because Randall Godfrey is unsigned and Donnie Edwards is gone.
31. Chicago Bears
	Ben Grubbs, G, Auburn -- OL has too much age; time to do something about it.
32. Indianapolis Colts
	Anthony Gonzalez, WR, Ohio State -- Has more speed than Dwayne Jarrett; time to give Peyton another WR.
