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 Laurinaitis,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?

I didn't call anyone stupid for talking about Stafford.

I DID say that it's ****ing reeruned to hitch your wagon to a QB in OCTOBER, just because we NEED one.

Christ, we need a MLB too. And a RG. And a RT. And a shit-ton of DE's. I could continue.

If people want to get this worked up over a kid in October, by all means, go nuts. But you'd think people would have learned a lesson from doing the EXACT SAME THING over Brohm and Woodson this time last year. There's too much that can happen between now and April to sit here and say that we MUST take Player "X".

I'm going to laugh my balls off when Stafford isn't even the first QB taken in April...

Dude its October, we suck ass, this gives us something to look forward too.

[Mecca]

Give me a QB that's gonna go ahead of him...the only 3 QB's worthy of high picks are underclassmen...

And newflash you don't take MLB's OG's or RT's with top 10 picks....

Tell that to the people that say you HAVE to have a R1 QB in this league to be successful.

I wonder...

If Stafford was to "pull a Brohm" and fall out of the 1st round:

1) Would people here still want him in a later round?

2) If yes, why? It's already been "proven" that you have to have a R1 QB to win...

I'm not claiming to know, considering there's still THREE MONTHS of the season to be played, and another THREE MONTHS of workouts/combine/etc before the draft.

[chagrin]

Just a side note - why the **** is Houston not drafting an Offensive lineman with every pcik until Round 6, from this year forward through 2012? God that's the dumbest fuggin franchise for not understanding the importance of the interior line, geesh.

[SBK]

There are 2 ways I see Stafford dropping past the #1 overall pick.

1. He's hurt.
2. The franchise drafting already has a franchise QB. (at which point they wouldn't be drafting #1 now would they?)

In fact, I think that the #1 pick is going to have a high amount of trade interest this year simply because of Stafford.

Mecca's sarcasm meter is broken, I see.

Of course, we should think about trading up to get Daniel b/c he'll likely be first off the board. Then, trade back into the first to snag Maclin. Coffman in the second.

Dynasty...(without the tradition of Nebraska, of course)

I honestly think this is a terrific idea...although ill be surprised if Coffman falls into the 2nd. And Daniel should be a RND 2 pick...hey it works in Madden

[RustShack]

Round 2 is about 4 rounds higher than Daniel gets drafted.

He's a duel threat. Probably the first QB off the board, with Tebow right behind.

[Mr. Laz]

we have alot of stinky teams we need to pass to get the top pick


i have confidence we can do it though

[Mecca]

We really need those 0 and 1 win teams to win a few.

[Tribal Warfare]

say no to the one year wonder with raw potential. If any DE is the 1st one off the board it should be Selvie.

Don't limit yourself. Wish for three first round picks.
