This article presents the top four players likely to be considered in the 2005 National Football League (NFL) draft. With the arrival of March the fun begins for NFL draftniks. And every year at this time they either know who the No. 1 pick will be or the pool of quality candidates is so rich that the team selecting first is certain to get a cornerstone player. That's why the upcoming draft is so weird--and why the San Francisco 49ers and their new coach, Mike Nolan, are in a tough spot. There isn't a can't-miss player on the board. With the draft set for April 23 and 24, here's how SI sees the top four picks. 1. San Francisco exhausts all attempts to trade down, then reaches around the corner for Aaron Rodgers, the Cal quarterback. 2. Assuming he doesn't get a running back through free agency or in a trade, Nick Saban, the Miami Dolphins' new coach, selects Ronnie Brown, who split time with Carnell Williams at Auburn. 3. The Cleveland Browns aren't in love with this quarterback crop, but Romeo Crennel, the former New England Patriots defensive coordinator, has to have a passer. It'll be the mobile Alex Smith, out of Utah. 4. If any player is a lock to be among the first four picks, it's Braylon Edwards, the Michigan wideout. The pick is held by the Chicago Bears, but last Saturday they signed free-agent All-Pro wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad to a six-year deal. The Bears will trade the pick.

After San Francisco had taken a 10--7 lead on middle linebacker Derek Smith's 46-yard fumble return on the second play of the fourth quarter, Feeley coolly zipped a 15-yard touchdown toss to tight end Randy McMichael for the go-ahead score. In addition to trading its best player, All-Pro wideout Terrell Owens, San Francisco cut ties with quarterback Jeff Garcia, guard Ron Stone and running back Garrison Hearst (all Pro Bowl players at one time) and two other offensive starters, tackle Derrick Deese and wideout Tai Streets.
