With the 2006 draft still a long way away and the fallout of free agency not yet known, we took a first stab at forecasting which rookies would land with which pro team. To do so, we asked 32 football-savvy drafters to slip into the shoes of of an NFL GM and guide their team through the first four rounds of the draft. Players were scouted, team needs were evaluated, and tough decisions were weighed. The results, which can be found below, should provide plenty of food for thought and off-season discussion.
