Final Update of My 2009 NFL Mock Draft- First Round
This is the first round of my 2009 NFL mock draft and is my final version barring a huge trade. Thanks for reading this final updated 2009 Mock Draft and please feel free to leave comments telling me how smart I am. You can check my profile for the older versions of my 2009 mocks. At the end of this article I will provide some links to some great NFL mock draft websites.1 Detroit Lions- Matthew Stafford- QB Georgia
I had Andre Smith going here but his antics at the 2009 NFL draft combine have dropped him. Stafford will sit the pine and learn the game while Culpepper gets hammered behind this weak offensive line.
2 St. Louis Rams- Jason Smith -OT Baylor
I am tempted to put Sanchez here in my 2009 mock draft, but I think the Rams will go Offensive Line. Jason Smith is possibly the best tackle in the draft and the Rams need to replace Orlando Pace/
3 Kansas City Chiefs- Aaron Curry LB- Wake Forrest
As a Chiefs fan I really wanted to see the team go for an offensive tackle but Curry is just too good to pass up. With Mike Vrabel and Zach Thomas on the roster Curry can learn from two veterans.
4 Seattle Seahawks- Mark Sanchez QB- USC
The Seahawks addressed their wide receiver issue in free agency and have appeared to really start to like Sanchez of late. Mark Sanchez is good at making reads and plays with more knowledge of the game at this point than Matthew Stafford.
5 Cleveland Browns- Michael Crabtree WR-Texas Tech
The best wide receiver in the draft goes to a team that needs one badly. Expect Braylon Edwards to be traded on or before draft day. Crabtree has the potential to be a very special player even in Cleveland!
6- Cincinnati Bengals- Brian Orakpo DE/LB Texas
The Bengals need help in lots of places but Brian Orakpo makes the most sense at this point in my 2009 NFL mock draft.
7 Oakland Raiders- Jerry Maclin WR-Missouri
With failed wide receiver attempts with Moss and Walker of late the Raiders really needs a good wideout. Maclin should fit the bill and give the offense a little more talent.
] 8 Jacksonville Jaguars- Eugene Monroe OT Virginia
Comments
Ok I know the Falcons trade will change the draft. But I don't have time to update it again
great update!
I agree. Wells may drop considerably and the Cards would do well to pick him up. I just think with his injury history and his inability to really take over and win "big" games he might be a liability taken any earlier.
Your updates on American football is interesting and informative to a person outside of the realm of American sports - thanks
Nice work. As for the Lions, they need to focus on the defense and offensive line. They should pick up Curry first since they do not have a middle linebacker now and go with a tackle at 20.
I guess that is possible. If I were them I would trade down a few spots and take a tackle.
Franchise quarterbacks moving up the draft boards quickly. Lions will look to make a deal with Stafford.
