Mock Draft v2.0

That's right, I'm posting an update to this thing they call the NFL Draft. My mind has been consumed the last 2 months with this draft. I'm a freakin junkie, I'll tell you that. I mean, who's a bigger loser, the 15 yr old kid at a Star Trek convention with spock ears and sporting the "live long and prosper" hand sign or me, the NFL junkie that sifts through piles and piles of internet mock drafts, message board and draft blogs. I'm a sucker for it all, rumors and smoke screens, I love it all. Someone help me.

By the way, I'm changing my official pick, I'm not sure where but the Saints will end up with DE Mario Williams, NC State, too much talent to pass up.

Anyway, here's how it could shake out for our beloved Saints depending on the scenario, here's a couple for you:

Scenario #1 - If no trades take place (unlikely):

1. Houston Texans - RB Reggie Bush, USC
2. New Orleans Saints - DE Mario Williams, North Carolina State
3. Tennessee Titans - QB Matt Leinart, USC
4. New York Jets - OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Virginia
5. Green Bay Packers - LB AJ Hawk, Ohio State

If trades are in play (most likely):

Trade 1 (Saints trade #2 overall for Jets #4 overall, Rd #2, Rd #3 pics)
1. Houston Texans - RB Reggie Bush, USC
2. New York Jets - QB Matt Leinart, USC
3. Tennessee Titans - QB Vince Young, Texas
4. New Orleans Saints - DE Mario Williams, North Carolina State
5. Green Bay Packers - LB AJ Hawk, Ohio State

Trade 2 (Saints trade #2 overall to Jets for #4 overall Rd #2, Rd #3 pics, Jets trade #2 overall for Raiders #7 overall Rd #2, Rd #4, Rd #2('07))
1. Houston Texans - RB Reggie Bush, USC
2. Oakland Raiders - QB Matt Leinart, USC
3. Tennessee Titans - QB Vince Young, Texas
4. New Orleans Saints - DE Mario Williams, North Carolina State
5. Green Bay Packers - LB AJ Hawk, Ohio State

And just for fun, if Houston goes nuts and doesn't draft Reggie Bush:
Trade (Saints trade #2 overall for Jets #4 overall, Rd #2, Rd #3 pics)
1. Houston Texans - DE Mario Williams, North Carolina State
2. New York Jets - RB Reggie Bush, USC
3. Tennessee Titans - QB Matt Leinart, USC
4. New Orleans Saints - OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Virginia
5. Green Bay Packers - LB AJ Hawk, Ohio State

Saints 2 round predictions:

Round 1 - DE Mario Williams, NC State
Round 2 - C Nick Mangold, Ohio State
OR
Round 1 - OT D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Virginia
Round 2 - ILB D'Qwell Jackson, Maryland
OR
Round 1 - LB AJ Hawk, Ohio State
Round 2 - C Nick Mangold, Ohio State

Disclaimer: I reserve the right to change my mind and post another prediction by Friday, April 28th one day before the actual draft, thank you.
