2009 Mock NFL Draft: Updated 25 September 08

As we have seen in recent years, underclassmen will likely dominate the 2009 NFL Draft. If you see (JR) it means the prospects will be juniors for the 2009 NFL Draft. This draft will be very weak at quarterback and receiver, but should be incredibly strong at linebacker, tight end and offensive tackle. The order is based off our NFL Power rankings.

2009 NFL Mock Draft
Team	Pos	Player	Comments:
	1	QB, Mathew Stafford, Georgia (JR)	If the strong armed Stafford comes out early he will likely be the first QB taken. Is Trent Green really starting for the Rams?
	2	LB, Rey Maualuga, USC	They won't draft another receiver, but instead will upgrade their defense. Big, fast linebackers are hard to find. Rey might have been a top ten pick if he would have entered the 2008 NFL Draft.
	3	OT, Andre Smith, Alabama (JR)	Smith is huge at 6' 4" 330 pounds, slides his thick legs very well and plays with great balance and power. Might end up at guard.
	4	WR, Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech (Soph)	The top receiver in the nation is a draft eligible sophomore. He is even good enough to be the first over all pick. A nice target for QB JaMarcus Russell.
	5	RB, Knowshon Moreno, Georgia (Soph)	Moreno is a draft eligible sophomore and the best running back in the nation, hands down.
	6	OT, Eugene Monroe, Virginia	Wow three OTs taken in the top ten. Monroe (6' 5" 315 lbs) is just as talented as teammate Brandon Albert who was drafted 15th over all by the KC Chiefs.
	7	LB, James Laurin aitis,Ohio State	Parcells loves to draft linebackers. Laurinaitis won the Butkis Award in 2007 and could have been a top ten pick if he would have entered the 2008 NFL Draft.
	8	OT, Michael Oher, Ole Miss	Oher is very athletic, has nice size (6' 6" 320 lbs) and plays with a chip on his shoulder. Young, talented QB Matt Ryan needs protection.
	9	CB, Vontae Davis, Illinois (JR)	The younger brother of 49er TE Vernon Davis. He (Davis) has as much talent as any DB in the nation, has decent size (5' 11" 188 lbs) and runs a 4.35 forty.
	10	CB, Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio State	I was surprised Jenkins didn't enter the 2008 NFL Draft, where he would have been a top 20 selection. Jenkins is the top rated cornerback entering the 2008 season.
	11	LB, Brian Cushing, USC	He fought injuries last year, but as a soph recorded 57 tackles and 13.5 tackles for loss. The Jags get a potential pro bowl linebacker with nice size (6' 3" 245 lbs). Also very good in pass coverage.
	12	QB, Curtis Painter, Purdue	The 6' 3" 224 pound quarterback has legitimate NFL potential. The Bears haven't drafted a quarterback since 2005, when they drafted Kyle Orton in the 4th round.
	13	DE, Michael Johnson, Georgia Tech	Not huge at 6' 6" 255 pounds, but he is very explosive coming off the edge. Almost entered the 2008 NFL Draft where he was graded as a 3rd rounder despite missing most of the season with injuries.
	14	LB, Brandon Spikes, Florida (JR)	Spikes hits like a ton of bricks and has nice size at 6' 3" 240 lbs. He recorded 16 tackles for loss and 7 pass break-ups in 2007.
	15	WR, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Maryland (JR)	Seattle doesn't have a receiver that can draw a double team, enter Heyward-Bey. Big (6' 3" 206), fast (4.34)and great hands.

	16	RB, Chris (Beenie) Wells, Ohio State (JR)	Wells (6' 1" 225 lbs/ 4.46 speed) has all the talent in the world and will rise up the boards again once he gets healthy. A needed relief for Frank Gore.
	17	WR, Jeremy Maclin, Missouri (soph)	An eligible soph, if he comes out early he will be a hot commodity. Maclin (6' 1" 200), exploded for a team high 1,055 receiving yards last season. Blazing fast, Maclin ran a 4.32 this spring.
	18	DE/OLB Antonio Coleman, Auburn (JR)	Coleman is a pass rushing terror, after only three games into the 2008 season he already has 4 sacks and 5 tackles for a loss.
	19	LB, Aaron Curry, Wake Forest	A very talented, relatively unknown linebacker with nice size (6' 3" 247 lbs). Curry recorded 13.5 tackles for loss in 2007.
Washington	20	DE, George Selvie, South Florida (JR)	Selvie is a pass rushing terror, constant double teams this year, but in 2007 Selvie led the nation in tackles for loss with an amazing 31.5 and an additional 14.5 sacks.
Philly	21	FS, William Moore, Missouri	From Panthers: Moore is the epitome of a ball hawk, recording 8 interceptions in 2007 which was tops in the country. He is also a big time hitter with nice size at 6' 1" 215 lbs.
Chargers	22	CB, Darius Butler, Connecticut	Butler is a supreme talent and will give the Chargers some depth at the corner position.
Green Bay	23	CB, Alphonso Smith, Wake Forest	This little ball hawk is an excellent cover corner. Al Harris suffered a serious injury and might not make it back 100%.
Bucs	24	WR, Percy Harvin, Florida (JR)	Not huge at 5' 11" 184 pounds, but Harvin is a super talent and put up huge numbers in 2007 where he ran for 764 yards and 6 TDs and also caught 59 passes for 858 yards and 4 TDs.
Patriots	25	WR, Brian Robiskie, Ohio State	Robiskie should be one of the top senior receivers available for the 2009 NFL Draft. He is the son of former NFL player and current coach Terry Robiskie and had 55 receptions for 935 yards and 11 TDs in 2007.
Steelers	26	OT, Fenuki Tupou, Oregon	Tupou is an under rated tackle with nice size (6' 5" 328 lbs). He held his own against South Florida's George Selvie in the Sun Bowl.

Titans	27	DE/OLB Everette Brown, Florida State (JR)	Brown is in the mold of the Cowboys DeMarcus Ware. He is off to a good start in 2008 with 2 sacks and 4 tackle for losses (TFL) after only three games.
Philly	28	TE, Brandon Pettigrew, OK State (JR)	2009 might be considered the year of the tight if a couple talented juniors declare. At 6' 5" 260 pounds Pettigrew is a complete tight end.
Buffalo	29	TE Travis Beckum, Wisconsin	Beckum reminds me of the 49ers Vernon Davis. He (Beckum) is more of a speedy H-back at 6' 4" 235 lbs, but his speed will really stretch the field.
Giants	30	OT Jamon Meridith, South Carolina	Meridith (6' 5" 305 lbs) came out of no where to be one of the top offensive lineman entering the 2009 season. He seems to get better each game under Steve Spurriers tutelage.
Broncos	31	DT, Peria Jerry, Ole Miss	The Broncos still need help on defense and Jerry (6' 2" 292 lbs) is a stud. After getting surgery in week one, he only missed one full game and has already recorded 4.5 tackles for loss.
Dallas	32	OG, George (Duke) Robinson, Oklahoma (JR)	A massive (6' 4" 330 lbs), athletic offensive lineman that can easily start at left guard for Dallas. The question is, will Robinson fall this far or will Dallas have to trade up to get him?

Your attitude towards taking a QB with a Top 5 pick has become cartoonish.

This time last year, you were up in arms that if we had a chance to take Brohm and we didn't, well, you'd turn in your fan card. Last straw, I believe you said.

Well....we did, and we didn't.

And it turns out that Brohm is so ****ing phenomenal he can't beat out a 7th round pick for a backup job.

It's the same song and dance this year with Stafford.

"He's got all the physical attributes you look for"

"He can make all the throws"

Blah, blah and blah.

Same shit, different guy.

I'm all for taking a QB, provided he's worth the value of that pick at the time.

Forgive me for not genuflecting at the Altar of Stafford 6 months before the draft, when he hasn't looked that impressive to begin with this year.

This team has WAY too many holes to put in stone, six months before the draft, that we MUST take a QB in R1, or else. That's ****ing reeruned.

Stafford has looked very impressive.

NAME	CMP	ATT	YDS	CMP%	YDS/A	TD	INT	RAT
Matthew Stafford	86	144	1193	59.7	8.29	7	1	144.0

I don't know what more you could want from him. 60% completion and a 7-1 TD/INT ratio and a 144 Rating.

Yea Matt Ryan was a reach of epic proportion right, didn't you try to sell that bag of goods?

And he has absolute shit WR's to work with and has to routinely make NFL throws.

KCUnited · 10-06-2008, 08:42 PM

Eh, I could see St. Louis going LT just as much as I could see them going QB. Detroit on the other hand....

I think STL will go LT. They're paying Bulger a ton of $$$$.

Mecca · 10-06-2008, 08:43 PM

Also there are certain positions you don't use top 10 picks on, you don't take say a LB unless he's a pass rusher capable of 15 sacks with a top 5-10 pick or you will be ridiculously overpaying and overvaluing the position.

Alot more goes into a top 5-10 pick than just BPA.

It's pretty easy to sit back and say that when you give no opinion of it yourself than trying to project something months in advance.

Without a QB we are building to nothing unless you wanna be the Vikings which isn't my desire.

Hell you didn't even like Ryan, we see how that's workin out eh?

Minus a few deep balls that he's thrown to WR's with 10 yards of separation (sounds like your knock on Bradford) he hasn't been anything special, though he hasn't been terrible either.

Again, pining for the player we had NO CHANCE to take, because he was already gone.

And had we had the chance and taken him, I'm sure you'd be giving him every excuse why he'd be sucking ass right now.

Matt Ryan has four things he wouldn't have had in KC:

A decent OL

A great running game

WR's that can actually get open

Good coaching

If KC had drafted him, the countdown to bust status would have started the second after Goodell called his name...

Well that it's then, our team is to stupid to develop a QB, we should all go be fans of other teams.

He could do more in big games, against good teams to start.

Sure, he's got great stats against Georgia Southern and Central Michigan, then is back under 60% against decent defenses.

SC made him look pretty average, and he picked up a ton of numbers in the 2nd half of that ass-whooping Alabama laid on them...31-0 at half.

I'm NOT saying he sucks, but I'd sure like to see him play another 3 months before I declare him a cant-miss NFL QB, just because we happen to need one...

See ya.

Don't let the door his you on the ass...

Great rebuttal, by the way.

I tell you your mancrush has been average, and the best you can do is this?

Disappointing.

Mecca · 10-06-2008, 08:56 PM

I'm sorry Stafford made more NFL throws in that Alabama game than I've seen from Sam Bradford in 2 years.

Some people don't even know what they are suppose to be looking for.

And hey call him my mancrush all you want, atleast he isn't a brittle failure like yours is.
