Mock draft scores 11 of 32 correct

So much for draft expertise.

The Enquirer's mock draft correctly predicted 11 of the 32 first-round picks.

The mock had correct picks for Houston at No. 1 (Mario Williams, DE, N.C. State), Tennessee at No. 3 (Vince Young, QB, Texas), Green Bay at No. 5 (A.J. Hawk, LB, Ohio State) and San Francisco at No. 6 (Vernon Davis, TE, N.C. State).

Of course, with the mock running Saturday morning, we had the opportunity to give Williams to the Texans, who signed him Friday. The Enquirer then had running back Reggie Bush going No. 4 to the Jets.

Then there were 11 incorrect picks in a row from No. 7 through 17. The Enquirer had Ohio State safety Donte Whitner going to the Bengals at No. 24. He went instead at No. 8 -- even Whitner though he was a mid-first round pick or beyond -- to Buffalo.

The Enquirer was correct at No. 18 for Dallas (Bobby Carpenter, LB, Ohio State) and No. 19 for San Diego (Antonio Cromartie, CB, Florida State).

The Bengals' first-round pick, cornerback South Carolina cornerback Johnathan Joseph, was predicted by the Enquirer to go at No. 22 to the 49ers.

The first-round forecast was salvaged, somewhat, by five correct predictions from Nos. 27-31. The Enquirer was correct at No. 27 for Carolina (DeAngelo Williams, RB, Memphis), No. 28 for Jacksonville (Marcedes Lewis, TE, UCLA), No. 29 New York Jets (Nick Mangold, C, Ohio State), No 30 for Indianapolis (Joseph Addai, RB, LSU) and No. 31 for Seattle (Kelly Jennings, CB, Miami, Fla.).

Five Ohio State players were drafted in the first 32: Hawk, Whitner, Carpenter, wide receiver Santonio Holmes (Steelers, No. 25) and Mangold.
