Cornerville Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 1. Detroit Lions: QB Matthew Stafford: Not ideally the guy you want at #1 overall, but he has the arm strength, mobility, and insticts to at work be a very good QB. 2. St Louis Rams: QB Mark Sanchez: Has any player sold himself better then Sanchez? Look for this stunning move to happen as the Rams wave goodbye to Bulger in due time. 3. Kansas City Chiefs: LB Aaron Curry: Former Pats exec Scott Pioli would like to deal down here, and if Sanchez does not go to STL, look for a team to move up here. Otherwise, KC takes the best LB available. 4. Seattle Seahawks: OT Jason Smith: The Hawks really wanted Sanchez, but decide to build their OL for the future with the best one on the board. 5. Cleveland Browns: WR Michael Crabtree: Could see BJ Raji here, but the Browns have a lot of $ tied up in Shaun Rogers, and I see the Browns dealing Braylon Edwards, so they 'grab the crab' at this spot. 6. Cincinnati Bengals: OT Eugene Monroe: Logical choice here, this team needs to protect Palmer. BJ Raji is another possibility. 7. Oakland Raiders: WR Jeremy Maclin: The Raiders are in desperate need of a big time WR. Either Maclin or Crabtree in this slot. 8. Jacksonville Jaguars: DT BJ Raji: Rumors have 'surfaced' that DT John Henderson might be traded to Buffalo (hopefully), so the Jags gladly scoop up the best DT available. 9. Green Bay Packers: DE Tyson Jackson: Could go OL or CB, but the pass rush tailed off miserably in 08, Jackson can help towards a return to 07 numbers. 10. San Francisco 49ers: OT Michael Oher: Disappointed that Sanchez is gone, they scoop up an OT to help another major need. 11. Buffalo Bills: OT Andre Smith: This guy could be the next big OL or the next Mike Williams. Talent wise, he could be a perennial All-Pro. Pettrigrew is another option here. 12. Denver Broncos: DE Aaron Maybin: Best first step of all DE's, the Broncos continue to work on a horrid defense and add a nice piece to the puzzle here. 13. Washington Redskins: DE Brian Orkapo: Another team hot for Sanchez, makes up for it here and more and grabs potentially the best overall DE in the draft. 14. New Orleans Saints: CB Malcolm Jenkins: If the Saints continue to ignore the defense and take Beanie Wells, they can enjoy more 8-8 seasons. If they want to improve, they take the best cover corner in the NFL draft. 15. Houston Texans: LB Brian Cushing: In reality, almost any of the 3 USC LB's can go here at this spot, but all signs point to Cushing. 16. San Diego Chargers: OLB Everette Brown: Brown is ideal for a 3-4 defense that the Chargers play. Curvelball at this pick could be a RB, but Brown is too good to pass up. 17. N.Y.Jets: WR Hakeem Nicks: Harvin's stock will slide a bit here, Nicks to me is a guy who is more polished and will be ready to start right away. QB is another slight possibility here. 18. Denver Broncos: RB Knowshon Moreno: I think the days are over for the Broncos to locate any RB to gain 1000 yards. Denver needs the sure thing, and Moreno fits the bill here. 19. Tampa Bay Bucs: QB Josh Freeman: Jets are another team that tempts the idea of drafting Freeman, but the Bucs also have a major need at QB. If Freeman does not go here, he is in for a long wait. 20. Detroit Lions: OT Eben Britton: Strongly considered Ayers here, but after drafting a QB that will get $40M guaranteed, they will need a top OL prospect to protect that asset. 21. Philadelphia Eagles: TE Brandon Pettrigrew: Much to the chagrin of the Buffalo Bills, who should have demanded this pick for Jason Peters, the Eagles get a real difference maker at TE, and complete a very strong makeover for Andy Reid's offense. 22. Minnesota Vikings: WR Darris Heyward-Bay: Vikings have never seemed to solve their issues at WR since Moss left, Heward-Bay is a guy that helps that process. 23. New England Patriots: CB Darius Butler: A pretty unexciting pick for the Pats, but this is why they are so successful. Pats are rumored to be trying to move up this year, so watch out for that. 24. Atlanta Falcons: CB Vontae Davis: Falcons can now key on a defense that needs upgrading, after fleecing the Chiefs for Tony Gonzalez. 25. Miami Dolphins: DE Robert Ayers: WR is a possibility here, but Parcells knows the value of a strong Front 7. Ayers is a guy who can really make execs kick themselves in a few years. Don't worry about last year; Tennessee was horrible and the entire Vols defense suffered. Ayers is the real deal. 26. Baltimore Ravens: WR Kenny Britt: Assuming that they do not land WR Anquan Boldin, this pick makes the most sense, giving Joe Flacco a nice weapon to work with. 27.Indianapolis Colts: WR Brian Robiskie: The Colts continue making their WR corps an all Ohio State bunch. 28. Buffalo Bills: LB Clay Matthews: Bills fan obsess about the lack of a pass rush (and rightfully so), but failing to get the 21st pick costs them Ayers. LB is another troublesome spot, and Matthews is athletic enough to be a difference maker for the Bills. 29. New York Giants: WR Percy Harvin: Perhaps the Giants might be scared off by Harvin given the Plaxicent last year, but they shouldn't. Harvin would give the Giants a true home run threat everytime on the field. But this pick might not be here if they trade for a WR. 30. Tennessee Titans: DT Ziggy Hood: Losing Haynesworth left a big hole in the Titans front 4, and Hood can help at least stop the bleeding. 31. Arizona Cardinals: DT Peria Jerry: Another unexciting pick, but another need pick for the NFC Champs (still feels strange saying that) 32. Pittsburgh Steelers: C Alex Mack: Vintage Steelers pick, Mack is a dominating Center and will be for years to come.
Alphadawg7 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 No way St. Louis takes Sanchez...they are going OL no matter what... KC is going to take Tyson Jackson or trade down to take Jackson with someone who wants Sanchez CLE is not taking Crabtree The Jets are taking Freeman unless they move up for Sanchez These are just some of the issues with your mock...
Tsaikotic Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 if it really is Wilson who picks the 1st and 2nd round picks, then I really don't think he wants to go threw the whole Mike Williams crap again...as a fan, I really don't want to go threw the Mike Williams crap again either..I really feel an OT can be gotten in round 2 be it either Meredith or Loadholt

I expect issues, these picks are also more on the lines of what I think these teams should do...Bulger is 32 and overrated IMO....its time for them to move on

You MUST keep stupid emotions out of the draft and take the player you feel BEST helps our team right now or is the best player available...you cant wear panties in the draft war room...

You take the player in this draft you see as the best pick...period...you dont shy away because some other FO picked a guy who didnt work out... Those pussification emotions need to be out of our draft room...

Those pussification emotions need to be out of our draft room... my original comment had nothing to do with the position he played...it's with the personality he had...I don't care what position it is..I don't like ppl who give up and play half-ass football and waste the teams and fans time..and it didn't matter which OT you pencil in at #11, I still feel there is talent in round 2 that Buffalo can take..of course if Monroe or Jason smith were there it would be different, but they most likely wont be.

You sighted Mike Williams twice as a reason not to draft Smith... I am not even saying draft Smith, my point is that you can't let a FO's previous bust affect decisions in tomorrows draft
