2005 NFL Draft Pre-Selections 3.0 (updated 4-20-04)    Yes... It's that time of year again. The time of year when I must decide to make the trip from Long Lake, Minnesota to the Fargodome to watch the Bison Spring Game or just sit at home in the comfort of my recliner watching the NFL Draft. It's really not that hard of a decision... The Bison Spring Games is easily chosen the winner every single year. With that being said, I've decided to do every Bison fan a favor. Let's just call it an early Christmas present. I've done some meditating, some soul searching, and a whole lotta beer drinking to precisely decipher who each NFL team is going to draft on April 23rd. So there are no more excuses for missing the Outback Steakhouse Green & Gold Scrimmage.... There are no more excuses for missing any action down on the Fargodome floor while answering your cell phone from someone willing to give a draft update.... There are no more excuses for not attending the pre-scrimmage luncheon featuring Craig Bohl and an awesome feed dished out by the Outback crew. Get your printer warmed up because here it is..... (I've emailed a copy to each NFL team so they know who to pick.) Round 1 1. San Francisco - QB Alex Smith (Utah) 2. Miami - RB Ronnie Brown (Auburn) 3. Cleveland - WR Braylon Edwards (Michigan) 4. Chicago - RB Cedric Benson (Texas) 5. Tampa Bay - RB Carnell Williams (Auburn) 6. Tennessee - CB Adam Jones (West Virginia) 7. Minnesota - WR Troy Williamson (South Carolina) 8. Arizona - CB Antrel Rolle (Miami) 9. Washington - CB Carlos Rogers (Auburn) 10. Detroit - WR Mike Williams (USC) 11. Dallas - DE Demarcus Ware (Troy State) 12. San Diego - DE Shane Merriman (Maryland) 13. New Orleans - OT Jammal Brown (Oklahoma) 14. Carolina - S Thomas Davis (Georgia) 15. Kansas City - LB Derrick Johnson (Texas) 16. Houston - DT Travis Johnson (Florida State) 17. Cincinnati - DE David Pollock (Georgia) 18. Minnesota - DE Erasmus James (Wisconsin) 19. St. Louis - OT Alex Barron (Florida State) 20. Dallas - DE Marcus Spears (LSU) 21. Jacksonville - WR Matt Jones (Arkansas) 22. Baltimore - WR Mark Clayton (Oklahoma) 23. Oakland - CB Fabian Washington (Nebraska) 24. Green Bay - QB Aaron Rodgers (California) 25. Washington - QB Jason Campbell (Auburn) 26. Seattle - C Chris Spencer (Mississippi) 27. Atlanta - WR Sharod White (UAB) 28. San Diego - DT Luis Castillo (Northwestern) 29. Indianapolis - CB Marlin Jackson (Michigan) 30. Pittsburgh - TE Heath Miller (Virginia) 31. Philadelphia - DT Matt Patterson (USC) 32. New England - OG Logan Mankins (Fresno State)     And one last thing for Vikings fans.... The Vikings will pass on kicker Mike Nugent from Ohio State and select offensive guard Marcus Johnson from Ole Miss in the second round. But your saying "wait a minute, Answer Man. Are any of the Bison going to be drafted?" Just a second while I stand on my head and yell a football chant. Yes, but only one Bison will be selected..... Let's see. Center Rob Hunt will go to the Indianapolis Colts with the 29th pick (165th overall) in the 5th round. Congratulations Rob!!!
