Posted: Wednesday April 12, 2000 07:57 PM

Four of CNNSI.com's football experts -- Peter King, Pat Kirwan, Don Banks and Trev Alberts -- joined us for a live, round-robin mock draft in a chat room on Wednesday afternoon (prior to the Broncos-Ravens trade). Their picks are shown below, or you can take a look at the full transcript of the chat.

CNNSI.com's Live NFL Mock Draft
Pos.	Team		Analysis
1		Cleveland Browns 2-14 Courtney Brown DE Penn State Pick: Peter King	They are going with the NFL's dream come true in this draft: a good guy who can play.
2		Washington Redskins (1) 10-6 Peter Warrick WR Florida St. Pick: Trev Alberts	Warrick, to me, bottom line, is the best player to come out since Deion Sanders.
3		Washington Redskins (2) 10-6 LaVar Arrington LB Penn State Pick: Pat Kirwan	Many people consider him the best player in the draft and he's a difference maker.
4		Cincinnati Bengals 4-12 Chris Samuels OT Alabama Pick: Don Banks	Mike Brown will take the cleanest player who remains on the board.
5		Baltimore Ravens (3) 8-8 Corey Simon DT Florida State Pick: Peter King	He's the fifth-best player in the draft and several teams are angling to move into this slot.
6		Philadelphia Eagles 5-11 Brian Urlacher LB N.M. Pick: Trev Alberts	I was impressed with his tenacity, speed and desire.
7		Arizona Cardinals 6-10 Thomas Jones RB Virginia Pick: Pat Kirwan	He's the best player out there that fits their needs.
8		Pittsburgh Steelers 6-10 Chad Pennington QB Marshall Pick: Don Banks	The Steelers can't afford to pass on the draft's only potential franchise QB.
9		Chicago Bears 6-10 Plaxico Burress WR Michigan State Pick: Peter King	The Bears now officially have the Kareem and Shaq twins of NFL receivers.
10		Denver Broncos 6-10 Travis Taylor WR Florida Pick: Trev Alberts	We fill not only a huge need, but get the next best player available.
11		New York Giants 7-9 Ron Dayne RB Wisconsin Pick: Pat Kirwan	He won't last more than four or five years... but he's a good pick here.
12		San Francisco 49ers (4) 4-12 Sylvester Morris WR Jackson State Pick: Don Banks	Many feel Morris is as polished as Burress and may end up a more complete package.
13		New York Jets (5) 8-8 Bubba Franks TE Miami Pick: Peter King	I think they've done it right this time.
14		Green Bay Packers 8-8 Chris Hovan DT Boston College Pick: Trev Alberts	It's such a great need, we take him with this pick.
15		Baltimore Ravens 8-8 Shaun Alexander RB Alabama Pick: Pat Kirwan	So what if he runs a 4.3 40, Alexander is the best guy at this pick.
16		New York Jets (6) 8-8 Stockar McDougle OT Oklahoma Pick: Don Banks	With Elliott finaly retired, the Jets need bodies on the offensive line.
17		Oakland Raiders 8-8 Shaun Ellis DE Tennessee Pick: Peter King	Will hold up well against some of the power runners of the AFC West.
18		New York Jets 8-8 Dennis Northcutt WR Arizona Pick: Trev Alberts	We need some speed at WR.
19		Seattle Seahawks (7) 8-8 Marvel Smith OT Arizona State Pick: Pat Kirwan	His stock has gone up thanks to workouts with coaches.
20		Detroit Lions 8-8 Chris McIntosh OT Wisconsin Pick: Don Banks	Detriot's offensive line was a disaster in the second half of last season.
21		Kansas City Chiefs 9-7 Jamal Lewis RB Tennessee Pick: Peter King	In scouts' eyes is going to be a very good pro because of his ability to run inside and outside.
22		Seattle Seahawks 9-7 Julian Peterson LB Michigan State Pick: Trev Alberts	We think a little about Darren Howard, but Peterson is our guy.
23		Carolina Panthers (8) 8-8 Cosey Coleman OL Tennessee Pick: Pat Kirwan	Will plug him into the lineup for 7-8 years.
24		San Francisco 49ers (9) 4-12 Ahmed Plummer CB Ohio State Pick: Don Banks	Plummer has a chance to walk into the Niners depleted secondary and start immediately.
25		Minnesota Vikings 10-6 Rashard Anderson CB Jackson State Pick: Peter King	We all know Denny Green likes projects and this is the perfect one for the Vikings.
26		Buffalo Bills 11-5 Deon Grant S Tennessee Pick: Trev Alberts	We have some glaring needs in the defensive secondary.
27		New York Jets (10) 8-8 John Engelberger DE Virginia Tech Pick: Pat Kirwan	One of their most important needs with their other three picks is DE.
28		Indianapolis Colts 13-3 Rob Morris LB Brigham Young Pick: Don Banks	Colts get the tackling machine in the middle they have lacked.
29		Jacksonville Jaguars 14-2 John Abraham DE/LB South Carolina Pick: Peter King	Has the ability to be a versatile player in the nickel packages.
30		Tennessee Titans 13-3 Cornelius Griffin DT Alabama Pick: Trev Alberts	I watched him at the Senior Bowl and no one blocked him.
31		St. Louis Rams 13-3 Sebastian Janikowski K Florida State Pick: Pat Kirwan	He will break the NFL record for longest field goal.
