Eagles1fan5 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 : Pick #1) Detroit Lions: QB Matthew Stafford, Georgia The Lions are going to pretty much start from scratch after firing GM Matt Millen finally and getting three draft picks from the Cowboys this is going to be a huge draft for the Lions. They don't have a franchise QB and when you don't have one... you draft one. Culpepper isn't there future, they obviously don't trust Drew Stanton since he hasn't seen the field. Stafford much like Matt Ryan last year has a big time arm and can make all the throws. Stafford has been throwing for tons of yards for Georgia as of late as well and he should be ready in 2010 for the Lions and hopefully lead them. : Pick #2) St. Louis Rams: OT Andre Smith, Alabama The Rams offensive line woes have continued and this is the perfect draft to end those woes. They start it off with this mountain of tackle in Andre Smith. A very big guy, but also very athletic reminds me a lot of Orlando Pace already. He can step in and play LT right away if Pace retires, or start on the right side until Pace does decide to retire. Either way the Rams select a franchise LT here. New coach Steve Spagnolia knows what a running game can do for a team, he will want to run the ball with Steven Jackson. : Pick #3) Kansas City Chiefs: OLB Aaron Curry, Wake Forest The Chiefs are still rebuilding and Scott Pioli can not pass up a talent like Aaron Curry here. Curry is a very versatile LB can play any of the LB spots. He has great speed and instincts and will be perfect for the Chiefs defense. Chiefs are in a run heavy division and a speedy, tough LB like Curry will fit in well there . : Pick #4) Seattle Seahawks: WR Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech The Seahawks have been nailed by the injury bug at the WR position. Deion Branch is pretty much the only threat they have, Bobby Engram is getting up there in age now as well. The Seahawks see what the Cardinals can do with three amazing receivers and the Seahawks want to get back to there lethal passing attack. Crabtree is a great talent with great hands, and ability to get many YAC. Crabtree will fit in well with this Seattle bunch . : Pick #5) Cleveland Browns: CB Malcolm Jenkins, THE Ohio State The Browns got a new coach in Eric Mangini and there going to look towards there secondary. A couple good guys in that secondary already but Malcolm Jenkins can be that shut down corner they desperately need. Jenkins will start from Day One and hopefully be a force in that Cleveland Defense . : Pick #6) Cincinnati Bengals: OT Eugene Monroe, Virginia The Bengals Offensive Line has gotten pretty bad as of late. With Carson Palmer back there coming off his injurys, there going to need to protect Palmer well if they want to successfully throw the ball like they always have. Monroe is an athletic tackle who can do the job in all phases of the game. He can start off at right tackle for now until it's time to replace Levi Jones. : Pick #7) Oakland Raiders: OT Jason Smith, Baylor Not the usual sexy pick by the Raiders, but the smart pick. There offensive line has been terrible and now is the time to start protecting there sexy picks, Russell and McFadden. The Raiders want to be a running team with McFadden and Fargas back there and they need the help on the line to do it. Jason Smith has risen up the boards all year and is a very athletic tackle. Smith can come in and play from Day One and start for the Raiders. : Pick #8 ) Jacksonville Jaguars: MLB, Rey Maualuga, USC The Jaguars defense fell off a bit this season but they need to get back to there physical play and theres no one better to do that then Maualuga. A feared warrior in the middle, he plays lights out and is a tremendous hitter. Trojan alum Del Rio most likely loves this kid and will stick him right in the middle to replace Mike Peterson and make this Jaguars defense pretty damn good again. : Pick #9) Green Bay Packers: DE Brian Orakpo, Texas The Packers lacked a pass rush this year other than Aaron Kampman, they really haven't gotten any pressure as of late. Orkapo will be the perfect addition on the otherside of Kampman. Orakpo reminds me a lot of Vernon Gholston from last year, both are amazing physical specimen with speed off the edge. Now, if only Orkapo can play a little better than Gholston did in his rookie year, and I expect him too. Expect Orakpo to be a force. : Pick #10) San Francisco 49ers: QB Mark Sanchez, USC The 49ers QB woes continue and now with no Mike Martz, can a Shaun Hill or J.T. O'Sullivan succeed? It's also time to cut ties with Alex Smith most likely and let Sanchez come in. Sanchez a home town kid, he's got a very good arm and very accurate. If the 49ers want to go with a more West Coast type offense, Sanchez will be perfect for it with his ability to move in the pocket and make the short accurate throws and hit you with the occasional deep pass. Don't expect Sanchez to start right away and they'll let Smith, Hill , or someone take the snaps for the first season. : Pick #11) Buffalo Bills: DE Michael Johnson, Georgia Tech The Bills really lacked a pass rush this year. Schobel is still a great player but often got double teamed. A force on the opposite side of him is much needed and Michael Johnson can be that guy. A big tall 6'7 guy with freakish athletic talent, Johnson should wreak havoc off the other edge and give the Bills a nice pass rush in a division when they need it . : Pick #12) Denver Broncos: MLB James Laurinaitis, THE Ohio State A very smart, athletic, instinctive LB James is, and it's something the Broncos haven't had since Al Wilson left. Laurinatits will fit in right in that middle and move DJ Williams back to his OLB spot where he should be. James will be that play maker in the middle of Mike Nolan's defense that he will love and let him make plays for a horrible Broncos defense . : Pick #13) Washington Redskins: OT Michael Oher, Ole Miss A big physical tackle in Michael Oher is just what the Redskins need. Chris Samuels and Jon Jansen are getting older and more injury prone so a guy to replace them is needed most likely Jansen. Oher can play from Day One and be a mauler up front and help Clinton Portis run for ever more yards. : Pick #14) New Orleans Saints: CB Vontae Davis, Illinois The Saints defense is still getting toasted, Mike McKenzie is getting any younger, so a replacement is in store. Davis is a one of kind athlete, and can be a shut down corner in the NFL. Davis has the speed to keep up with a lot of receivers and he even offers returning ability. He should be a perfect fit for New Orleans. : Pick #15) Houston Texans: DE Aaron Maybin, Penn State The Texans are missing a pass rush threat opposite Mario Williams. The Texans haven't been happy with Anthony Weaver and a guy like Aaron Maybin fits the bill. Maybin had a tremendous season for a good Penn State defense. Maybin is very athletic and has good speed off the edge and will provide that pass rush there looking for and make a dangerous set of book ends. : Pick #16) San Diego Chargers: DT B.J. Raji, Boston College With Igor Olshansky possibly departing in free agency, the Chargers really have no depth at the end spots. Raji is a monster and athletic, he can play with 3-4 DE or spell Jamaal Williams at NT here and there as well. Raji is just a perfect fit for the Chargers defense and can play all three lineman spots and be a force in the Chargers D. : Pick #17) New York Jets: DE Tyson Jackson, LSU Tyson is the perfect fit for the Jets defense at the other defensive end spot opposite of Shaun Ellis. Tyson is the perfect 3-4 DE and will provide a nice pass rush off the end as well as eating up blocks inside to free up those LB's of the Jets. Tyson should start from Day One for the Jets. : Pick #18 ) Chicago Bears: WR Jeremy Maclin, Missouri The Bears need a receiving threat. Hester still needs some develop and Rashied Davis wasn't bad either this year. Brandon Lloyd clearly isn't a #1, so they get a true #1 play making WR in Maclin here. Maclin has all the tools to be a great receiver in the NFL and will provide Kyle Orton with a nice target. : Pick #19) Tampa Bay Bucs: WR Percy Harvin, Florida The Bucs got a new coach now, and time to make some changes. The Bucs really dont have much speed at the receiver spot, Galloway is at the end of the line and is always hurt and they take the speedster Harvin here. Harvin is a very versatile player and will provide that speed the Bucs need. His speed is unbelievable and the Bucs can really use his speed in a variety of ways . : Pick #20) Detroit Lions (f: Dallas Cowboys): DE Everette Brown, Florida State The Lions get a steal here in Everette Brown, a tremendous pass rusher off the edge, something the Lions are really lacking. Jim Schwartz knows how important a pass rush can be and he should covet a guy like this here at this pick and I think they will. Brown should start immediatley for a rebuilding Lions group . : Pick #21) Philadelphia Eagles: RB Chris "Beanie" Wells, THE Ohio State A big time steal here in Chris "Beanie" Wells. He should go higher but with a lot of teams not needing a RB that high he slips down into the Eagles lap. Westbrook has proven he can't stay healthy and the Eagles need someone else in here who can run the rock and take the beating and Wells is that. It'll provide a great 1-2 punch in the backfield and especially with Buckhalter as a F/A too.. .Wells is a great fit here for the Eagles. : Pick #22) Minnesota Vikings: CB Alphonso Smith, Wake Forest A great prospect in my eyes and a guy I think who will fly up the draft charts soon. Smith is an absolute ball hawk and a guy who's not afraid to come up and make a tackle. He's the perfect compliment opposite of Winfield and will provide one of the best pair's of corners in the NFL for years. : Pick #23) New England Patriots: S William Moore, Missouri A need for the Patriots is definitely need to improve there secondary. Moore is one of the top safetys in the draft and a physical hard hitting safety. He'll fit in right in with the Patriots defense and may even replace Rodney Harrison right away if Harrison retires . : Pick #24) Atlanta Falcons: DT Peria Jerry, Ole Miss The Falcons were a tremendous story this season, there defense is still a little weak and it improves right here with Jerry. An absolute monster in the middle, he's athletic and has a lot of pass rushing moves and can dominate up in the middle. He should fit in well with this Falcons defense and make it even better right from the beginning. : Pick #25) Miami Dolphins: OLB Brian Cushing, USC The Dolphins are another great success story from a year ago, they have a couple holes, and a LB like Brian Cushing should help fill that. Cushing is a very fast and versatile LB, he can play all 4 of the 3-4 LB's spots for the Dolphins and can be used in a variety of ways. Cushing will be a perfect Parcells type of guy and fit in well here with The Dolphins . : Pick #26) Batlimore Ravens: WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, Maryland The home town kid goes to the Ravens here. A great athlete and tall, someone you can't pass up right here if your the Ravens. Mason is getting older and this will provide Flacco with the weapons he needs for years to become a successful and better NFL QB . : Pick #27) Indianapolis Colts: CB D.J. Moore, Vanderbilt With Kelvin Hayden possibly leaving due to F/A, Moore would be a nice fit to a Colts defense that could really use him. None of the CB's on the Colts are anything to right home about, so Moore can come in from Day One and start and provide a big lift for the Colts D. A DT is badly needed here as well so don't rule out Sen'Derrick Marks. : Pick #28 ) Philadelphia Eagles (f: Carolina Panthers): TE Brandon Pettigrew, Oklahoma State A huge receiving target here, Pettigrew fits the bill and be a big time play maker for the Eagles. The Eagles love to use two TE's and will have him and Celek has receiving threats in the offense. L.J. Smith is more than likely gone, and Pettigrew can take his spot in the starting line up and give another weapon to McNabb. : Pick #29) New York Giants: OLB Clint Sintim, Virginia An athletic OLB, something the Giants can really use here at one of there weaker points in there defense. Sintim can be a pass rushing LB, with the ability to cover pretty well. Sintim should fit right in with the Giants aggressive Defense. : Pick #30) Tennessee Titans: C Alex Mack, California One of the the top Center prospects in the draft, Mack provides the long term answer at the center spot for the Titans. Mawee is getting a lot older and is getting close to being done. Mawee can mentor young Alex Mack and make Mack into a pro bowl center much like Mawee himself is. : Pick #31) Arizona Cardinals: RB Knowshon Moreno, Georgia Edgerrin James is most likely gone for the surprise Cardinals next season, and a back is needed to replace him. A fast shifty Moreno is something the Cardinals can use in there 1-2 back system. Moreno and Hightower should make for an excellent duo in the backfield for years for the Cardinals. : Pick #32) Pittsburgh Steelers: OG Duke Robinson, Oklahoma The Steelers offensive line woes have been documented all year long and some FA's up there, they need to build this offensive line back up with maulers and Duke Robinson does that. He'll start from Day One and be a physical force the Steelers love. I welcome all comments, I'll happily defend my picks. Thanks for reading. Quote

PACKERNUT- Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 Packer hired Dom Capers and going to a 3-4 defense Not sure end is where the will start Quote
[-VR-] Tool_Minion Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 And I know you will call this me being a homer, but.............. Where the hell is Chase Coffman and Shaun Witherspoon? Witherspoon is a BEAST, and Coffman broke every (real) TE record. I'm pretty sure with his hands alone he goes top 20. Quote
Eagles1fan5 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Posted January 20, 2009 Packernut ]Packer hired Dom Capers and going to a 3-4 defense Not sure end is where the will start LOL Well y our going to need someone to rush the passer LOL. He can run be a DE or OLB Quote
Neoblackhound Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 I don't agree with the pic for the 49ers, its time for Hill, O'Sullivan is a free agent that shouldn't be coming back, I also think smith will be held onto as a backup. I look for my team to upgrade the O-line, or D-line we need better protection and a better pass rush. Quote
simihi Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Man, couldn't you let Maualuga fall to the Chargers. I do agree though we need a DT to take over for Jamaal Williams soon. If he could play DE for his first season taking Olshansky's spot and bulk up to play NT after he would be a great pick. Height and Weight would be nice info to include. Quote

RNG187 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 dont you think the giants would take a safety? or maybe an MLB? i mean like, yeah their OLB's aren't the best but there IS depth there. the safety position they have butler, philips, johnson, and that's it. MLB, they need a SOLID backup. chase blackburn is a great guy on special teams, but when stuck into ANY defense he's not doing the job well. not to mention, pierce is getting up there in age, a replacement will be needed soon and there's no better replacement than someone who's been in your system for some time.

No MLB worth taking at that spot either. You guys need some kind of MLB, Danny Clark has been passed around like herpes in the NFL, he's nothing special. You need a OLB. Quote
RNG187 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 no, he's not, but i think the giants will be looking for an OLB in free agency. it's going to be deep this year if i remember correctly. or hell, since plax(more than likely) won't be coming back, they should probably pickup a big name receiver. amani toomer's only getting older, Steve smith is pretty good but shouldn't be the number 1. Quote
Eagles1fan5 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 thing is no real WR worth taking at that spot or MLB. Sintim is a good OLB. He's got the speed to be a good blitzer off the edge in the Giants aggressive defense. He'll fit in perfectly there, there may be someone else but who knows. Quote

At this point in my mock Sintim makes the most sense for the Giants Quote
RNG187 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 he does, only thing i'm stuck on is why would they draft another old, when they got 2 last year? Quote
