This is my first Mock Draft on the site I hope you enjoy, no complaining about team positioning :mad:. It is early, and I am not extremely familiar with all the draft picks so please excuse mistakes,,] and feel free to disagree I need to get up to date on the upcoming 09' draft :D
1st Overall Pick: Kansas City Chiefs: OT: Michael Oher: Ole Miss: Kansas has huge needs at the O-line position. If they make this pick they make a safe pick, which makes their Offensive Line so much better, and Branden Albert would be able to move back to his original position at guard. Larry Johnson and Brodie Croyle will be very grateful.

2nd Overall Pick: Miami Dolphins: DT: Fili Moala: USC: Miami doesn't have a great NT, Jason Ferguson and Vonnie Holiday are both on the wrong side of 30, and Randy Starks is not an NT. Fili Moala has enough bulk and versatility to be a DT in the 3-4 system, I think Fili Moala will be a great choice at #2 for the Dolphins. Moala will anchor the Dolphins defensive line for many years to come.

3rd Overall Pick: Atlanta Falcons: CB: Malcolm Jenkins: Ohio State: This might be a little high for Jenkins, but he is no doubt the top CB in the class, this is better than reaching for an O-lineman. Jenkins will fill the void left by DeAngelo Hall and in my mind will be an elite corner in the NFL one day. Look for Malcolm Jenkins and Chris Houston to become an elite cornerback tandem in the league someday.

4th Overall Pick: San Francisco 49ers: QB: Matt Stafford: Georgia: This is Alex Smith's last chance to de-spell thoughts of him being a bust, he fails, the 49ers land this pick and after another disappointing and injury plagued season by Smith, the FO looks for a new face of the franchise. They go with the best college QB in the nation Matt Stafford. I honestly think he is the best pro-QB prospect since Carson Palmer. Stafford has good pocket presence and mobility, and has good velocity behind his throws.

5th Overall Pick: Oakland Raiders: WR: Michael Crabtree: Texas Tech: What do you know the Raiders happen to need a WR and owner Al Davis seems to love athletic freaks, seems like a match made in heaven. Unless, Michael Crabtree is selected before the Raiders are on the clock this seems like a lock. He has excellent hands and incredible speed, the Raider's offense now just needs a good O-line because J-Russell, DMC, and Crabtree would look pretty good.
http://oncollegefootball.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/crabtree2.jpg
6th Overall Pick: Cincinnati Bengals: DE: Michael Johnson: Georgia Tech: This Combine warrior has so much upside, and the Bengals need almost every position their defense to be redone, Michael Johnson would be a 4-3 DE. Johnson needs to bulk up, but that can be handled, he has so much potential and great pass rushing ability combine that with his almost unheard of height of 6'7, the Bengals make the right pick.
http://i34.tinypic.com/2vnmgkw.jpg
7th Overall Pick: Detroit Lions: ILB: Rey Maualuga: USC: The Lions need a big time MLB to play alongside Ernie Simms. Rey Maualuga may not have great mechanics but will be a brick-wall defender and will help Ernie Simms pass-rush more. Rey Maualuga is the best MLB, by a "hair" over James Laurinitis.
http://i33.tinypic.com/xp4ryt.jpg
8th Overall: New York Jets: RB: Chris Wells: Ohio State: Running Back is not a huge need for the New York Jets, but what is a need is a game-breaker. Thomas Jones is a good running-back but he is not elite. Leon Washington is nothing more than a spell back, but "Beanie" Wells can do it all, and can be an Elite back in the NFL.
http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2006/writers/cory_mccartney/08/10/freshmen/t1_wells.jpg
9th Overall: Chicago Bears: QB: Sam Bradford: Oklahoma: If the Bears want to contend again anytime soon they need a Quarterback. They settle for the second best QB in the class with redshirt sophomore Sam Bradford. He has a good pocket presence and should help the Bears get back into playoff contention.
http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2007/writers/cory_mccartney/10/12/marquee.matchup/t1_bradford.jpg
10th Overall: Denver Broncos: ILB: James Laurinaitis: Ohio State: With DJ Williams moving back to his more natural WILL position, the MLB job is up for grabs. James Laurinaitis is a brick wall defender, and also very good in coverage. Laurinaitis will take pressure off of DJ Williams, and look for the Broncos to have a great linebacker corp. if this happens.
http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s266/alyssamarie33/JamesLaurinaitis.jpg
11th Overall: Baltimore Ravens: CB: Vontae Davis: Illinois: Behind Chris McAlister and Samari Rolle there is almost no depth, plus both Samari and Chris are getting up there in age. Vontae can get a lot of playing time in the nickel, and also might see starter time if injuries plague the CB corp.
http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/ill/sports/m-footbl/auto_action/1413528.jpeg
12th Overall: Arizona Cardinals: RB: Knowshon Moreno: Georgia: When I see Knowshon I see LT, thats just my two cents on his running style, I am not saying he is that good, but that is how I see his style. He will go to a Cardinals team who is need of some energy and depth at RB. Edgerrin James is a decent back nowadays, and has a lot of mileage. Knowshon will get some carries and learn under an ex-Pro Bowler.
http://dawgstube.com/d/2410-2/uga_knowshon_moreno.jpg
13th Overall: Buffalo Bills: DE/OLB: George Selvie: USF: George Selvie drops all the way into the Bills laps. The Bills pick him up and will have to decide if they will want to make him a poor run stuffing DE or a poor in coverage LB, either way he will be a great pass rusher, I'd put him at OLB.
http://georgeselvie.org/george_selvie.jpg
14th Overall: Houston Texans: FS: William Moore: Missouri: Michael Boulware and Will Demps are not the answers at safety. The Texans strengthen another spot on their defense by picking the ball-hawk out of Mizzou. Moore had seven picks last year, and should continue his greatness this year.
http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2007/1126/ncf_u_wmmoore_200.jpg
15th Overall: Philadelphia (From Carolina): OT: Andre Smith: Alabama: Andy Reid gets the O-line he has been looking for in Andre Smith. Andre Smith is versatile and can play almost anywhere on the O-line.
http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/54/546447.jpg
16th Overall: St. Louis Rams: FS/SS: Taylor Mays: USC: St. Louis needs someone big, and strong at the SS position. Taylor Mays is basically a LB with 4.4 speed and excellent coverage skills, look for him to be an SS in the NFL, or maybe even moved to LB. I would love this pick for the Rams
http://www.leopoldgeans.com/%20Articles/%20Articles_files/TaylorMade.jpg
17th Overall: Washington Redskins: DE: Tyson Jackson: LSU: Whether or not Jason Taylor retires next year, the Skins' either still need someone to play opposite of him or someone to just replace him. Tyson Jackson is a big strong DE who can pass-rush and is stout against the run.
http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2007/writers/stewart_mandel/04/30/lsu.draft/t1_jackson_wi.jpg
18th Overall: Philadelphia Eagles:WR: Darrius Heyward-Bay: Maryland: I think this is the year the Eagles finally get the #1 receiver, they have lacked since Terrell Owens. Darrius never has put up huge numbers at Maryland but has great size and speed, he should develop into a solid #1 receiver.
http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/md/sports/m-footbl/auto_headshot/265979.jpeg
19th Overall: Tampa Bay Buccaneers: DT: Sen'Derrick Marks: Auburn: The Bucs' take a page from their championship team, of pass-rushing DTs like Booger McFarland and Warren Sapp. Sen'Derrick draws comparisons to Warren Sapp and should be a great pass rushing DT in the NFL. The Bucs have some depth at DT, but no one who stands out, so they end that problem here.
http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/54/546451.jpg
20th Overall: Cleveland Browns: CB: DJ Moore: Vanderbilt: The Browns have no one at Cornerback so they make an easy pick here and take the best corner available at DJ Moore. Corey Undlin is great at developing DBs, just look what he did to UDFA Leigh Bodden. The Vandy CB will easily fit in and probably be a day one starter.
http://graphics.fansonly.com/photos/schools/vand/sports/m-footbl/auto_headshot/1284167.jpeg
21st Overall: Tennessee Titans: DE: Maurice Evans: Penn State: Face it, Jeff Fisher just won't draft a WR in the 1st. So as he disappoints me yet again, he strengthens up the D-line since they lost two DEs in Travis Laboy and Antwan Odom. He selects Maurice Evans who had 12.5 sacks last year, and is a similar prospect to last years Chris Long.
http://blogs.mcall.com/nittany_lines/images/2007/10/25/maurice_evans_wisconsin.jpg
22nd Overall: Seattle Seahawks: WR: Percy Harvin: Florida: Matt Hasselback has one of the worst receiving corps. of his career to work with, and will still make something out of nothing. The Seahawks will help out Matt with Percy Harvin, an electric deep threat who runs in the 4.3s. He would go much earlier if it wasn't for his string of injuries.
http://images.athlonsports.com/d/6119-1/PercyHarvin.jpg
23rd Overall: Green Bay Packers: OT Eugene Monroe: Virginia: The Packers need some depth at OT, and Monroe can play both LT and RT. He replaced D'Brickashaw Ferguson easily, and will do the same whether he becomes the LT, or replaces Mark Tauscher who is getting up there in age.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/football/ncaa/scout.top253/virginia_monroe.jpg
24th Overall: Pittsburgh Steelers: G: Duke Robinson: Oklahoma: The loss of Alan Faneca will definitely hurt the Steelers. The Steelers go ahead, and replace him with the best Guard in the draft class, and in my opinion will grow to be just as good as Faneca in the run-block, but much better in the pass-block.
http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/54/546448.jpg
25th Overall: Dallas Cowboys: WR: Jeremy Maclin: Missouri: Behind, Terrell Owens the Cowboys have a very inconsistent #2 in Patrick Crayton, and also an aging and injury prone slot receiver in Terry Glenn. The Cowboys finally get themselves, another receiver whether Maclin becomes a slot or #2 receiver is irrelevant, he will give the Cowboys offense an elusive receiver, and he is also a great return man.
http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2008/0418/ncf_g_jmaclin_200.jpg
26th Overall: New Orleans Saints: CB: Mike Mickens: Cincinnati: The Saints secondary is really weak, and although they have some prospects growing at CB, none are really the type of playermaker Mickens is. Mike McKenzie is aging and Mickens will replace him, with Tracy Porter, and Usama Young in the nickel.
http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/54/544943.jpg
27th Overall: Jacksonville Jaguars: WR: Brian Robiskie: Ohio State: The best route runner in the draft, and will be selected by the Jaguars because even before the loss of Ernest Wilford, and 1st round bust Matt Jones they were extremely weak at WR. Robiskie will be able, to help free up the running game, because David Garrard would actually have a consistent target to throw to, not just hand off to.
http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/35/358866.jpg
28th Overall: Indianapolis Colts: TE: Jermaine Gresham: Oklahoma: Whether or not Dallas Clark is a system player, he still is great for the Colts, but now needs a future replacement, and someone to line up with on two TE sets. With Ben Utecht gone the Colts take in my opinion the best TE in the draft, who is a decent blocker and a very good receiver.
http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2007/1112/ncf_a_gresham_inline_300.jpg
29th Overall: New York Giants: SS: Myron Rolle: Florida State: Even with drafting Kenny Phillips in the first round last year, the Strong Safety position is still one of need, and neither James Butler, or Sammy Knight are the answers here. Kenny Phillips at FS and Myron Rolle at SS has the potential to be the best young safety duo in the NFL, along with CB Aaron Ross that would definitely sure up the Giants secondary for a long time.
http://www.doubleazone.com/images/myronrolle.jpg
30th Overall: New England Patriots: OLB: Brian Cushing: USC: Even after an injury plagued season last year with USC, he still is their most consistent playmaker. He is an excellent passrushing OLB, who is perfect for a 3-4 system. With the Patriots having a very old LB corp. the trio of Jerod Mayo, Shawn Crable and Brian Cushing will help make the LB corp. elite even after the likes of Mike Vrabel, Tedy Bruschi etc. retire.
http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2008/0101/ncf_g_cushing_300.jpg
31st Overall: Minnesota Vikings: QB: Tim Tebow: Florida: They got this far on Tarvaris Jackson and JDB being game managers. Now, the Vikings coaching staff realizes they need a leader and gamechanger at the QB position which Tarvaris Jackson and JDB aren't, but Tim Tebow is. Some may argue he is not a pro-style QB, and that will cause him to drop, but I think he will do fine in the NFL, and will be a great leader on the Vikings.
http://images.athlonsports.com/d/7671-1/TimTebow5_001.jpg
32nd Overall: San Diego Chargers: OG: Herman Johnson: LSU: This 6'7 OG will be a great fit at guard but can also play RT if needed. The Chargers could use some depth along the O-line but he can be good enough to replace any starter currently on the Chargers O-line, and with Shane Olivea gone to New York he might even steal away the RT spot.
http://i1.sell.com/12/114/832434/50/116/3284516-m.jpg
