Im trying to make a good draft based off major needs give me some good feedback




1. Lions LB, Rey Maualuga, USCBig, fast linebackers are hard to find. Rey might have been a top ten pick if he would have entered the 2008 NFL Draft. With Millen jobless now this team can finally adds some defense to this dynamite offense.
2. Vikings (trade with Bengals) QB, Mathew Stafford, Georgia (JR) If the strong armed Stafford comes out early he will likely be the first QB taken. Qb is the weak link of this Viking team if he can manage the offense and keeps the defense often by hitting Berrian deep he can be the next Big Ben.


3. Chiefs 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. This pick works even if the Chiefs keeps Albert at tackle either way the line improves.

4. Dolphins 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. I truly think he is the best linebacker in this draft simply because he can play all of the linebacker positions.

5. Raiders 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. I really wanted to go for Michael Oher here but with Al Davis running the show he wants to do one thing throw ball deep Russell has the arm and Crabtree has the Hands.


6. Bengals (trade with Vikings)RB, Knowshon Moreno, Georgia (Soph) Moreno is a draft eligible sophomore and the best running back in the nation, hands down. I see him as a perfect pick for the Bengals he has a little of that Reggie Bush style but I think he can run between the tackles.



7. 49ers OLB 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. I think him and Manny Lawson will be an insane pass rush combo.

8. Texans 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.



9. RamsOT, 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. Last year they just missed out on Jake Long last year but Oher is great pick for them. If Alex Barron can’t get it done at left tackle once Pace retires then Oher can take over.

10. Falcons S, Taylor Mays , and USC the falcons have been looking for a real safety for a long time and to me they got Sean Taylor 2.0. I think his physical present will intimidate smaller less physical receiver . Which can limit offenses, I do think he can seem a little bit overreacted but he isn’t the next Darnell Bing.
11. Browns 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. I think the brown will feel the same way the Cavs felt when they got Lebron James. You can tell see rookie of year here. He will be knocked down because of the injury but just like AD shut up all his doubting with his first bruising run.

12. Buccaneers 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. I also think he can be the next Joey Galloway.


13. Ravens WR, Darrius Heyward-Bey Maryland (JR)  it was toss between the 2 hometown heroes Vontae Davis and Darrius Heyward-Bey but the Ravens
Doesn’t have a receiver that can draw a double team, enter Heyward-Bey. Big (6' 3" 206), fast (4.34)and great hands. I can See Falcco to Bey all day.

14. Cardinals 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. He can be the Willis to this defense he can lead this team in tackles in a year or 2


15. Broncos Tyrone McKenzie ILB South Florida  He plays OLB in college can make the switch to inside backer in the pros and DJ Williams can bump back outside to his natural position.

16. Bears MARK SANCHEZ, USC, QB Sanchez, the nation’s top-rated passer as a prep, won’t mind because he came to USC to be in the spotlight. He possesses the arm strength, mobility and natural leadership to carry on USC’s star-studded quarterback tradition. If the bears are picking here that mean Orton played decent not good enough to takes us to the playoffs.



17. Panthers to the Eagles 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. . Could the future replacement for Brian Dawkins.


18. Patriots DE George Selvie (South Florida) [Junior Selvie 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.


19. Jaguars Mryon Rolle S Florida State  Think Nelson and Rolle will make a nice tandem for the Jags.
20. Packers 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.

21. Chargers DE/OLB Everett Brown, Florida State (JR) I think with the injury with merrimen they are going to want some depth at that position

22. Eagles 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.


23. Jets CB, Alphonso Smith, Wake Forest Nice wing man for reeves

24. Seahawks WR, Brian Robiskie, Ohio StateRobiskie 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.


25. Colts DT, Peria Jerry, Ole Miss  The Colts 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.

26. Saints LB, Brian Cushing, USC He fought injuries last year, but as a soph recorded 57 tackles and 13.5 tackles for loss. The Saints get a potential pro bowl linebacker with nice size (6' 3" 245 lbs). Also very good in pass coverage.


27. Steelers Herman Johnson 
28. Giants OT Jamon Meridith, South CarolinaMeridith (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.


29. Bills TE Travis Beckum, Wisconsin  I wanted to go Corner but I didn’t see one at the end of the first round worth taking. Plus Beckum reminds me of the 49ers Vernon Davis. He is more of a speedy H-back at 6' 4" 235 lbs, but his speed will really stretch the field. Perfect for Trent Edwards


30. Redskins TYSON JACKSON, DE, L.S.U.  Jackson isn’t your normal pass rushing end but I think he does have the ability to get presure on the Qb often enough to help a secondary that is playing well

31. Titans JEREMY MACLIN, WR, MISSOURI  Every year they don’t help the passing game by getting an elite receiver but finally Vince Young get that receiver he need to take the next step

32. Cowboys Duke Robinson I thinnk he will make a nice addtion to this already insanely large O line.

[vidae]

Meh. Would prefer a pass rushing DE or Rey over OT.

While it does look like we need offensive lineman, Branden Albert is the LT of the future and we won't spend a 3rd overall pick on a RT.

In a perfect world we'd get Stafford or Bradford, but whatevs.

Good mock overall.

[21ST]

The redskins dont draft DL on the first day, give us a CB or a LB Maybe Duke

[TitanHope]

Absolutely amazing Titans pick!

Maclin fills our need at speedy WR, returner on special teams, and all-around play maker! His value at #31 would make him a helluva' steal!

[619]

Yeah, you're probably right with Al running the show it wouldn't surprise me if he goes Crabtree.

[derza222]

Revis has a wing man in Dwight Lowery, at this point #2 corner isn't much of a need unless Lowery regresses as the season goes on. Free safety, defensive end, inside linebacker, nose tackle, wide receiver, and running back are probably bigger needs.

[Babylon]

I think Seattle would be better off with Jeremy Macklin or Alex Mack, dont see Robiskie as a 1st rounder. good mock.

[Buckrock101]

Rey and Laurinaitis shouldn't be anywhere near the top 5. Neither play well enough to be up there, and realistically, both should be taken in the lower first round.

ILBs hardly ever go in the top 10 anyway, and they only do if they are truly elite players- neither Rey nor Laurinaitis are that. They are #3 and #4 on my personal ILB list.

[Bearsfan123]

Bears pick is great. I like Sanchez although I do have my doubts. Wonderful pick though. Where is Eugene Monroe? Interesting mock I like how you mixed it up.

[Bruce Banner]

Any receiver for the Bucs is good but I'd like to think we'd go with DHB, who was your next pick. Good mock overall, just keep refining it and it could be one of the best!

Continue to look at other people's mocks and try to find a real sense of value for each player and the true needs for each team.

For instance, the Seahawks pick. You chose a receiver, which is good, it is a huge need. The only problem is the player. Many people consider Brian Robiskie a late second player at best! So the Seahawks would either take a different receiver there (one that is slated for the late first round or maybe a WR that has fallen past his expected spot) or simply take the best player available, regardless of position.

It can be fun, just make sure that you keep it somewhat realistic.

Um, decent pick ... a lot of people seem to think we will go TE this year in the first, but I think it's more likely we go Center (Alex Mack hopefully), OLB (Curry or Cushing, ideally), or possibly DE. I think the darkhorse first round pick could be a FS, but I think they are happy with Ko Simpson.

Also, if we did take a TE, the Bills staff loves blocking, so I doubt we would just take a fast guy, unless he is very good at blocking, which i've read Beckum isn't.

In no way should anyone be giving is any CB's at all in this draft. We have McGee, Greer, McKelvin, Youbouty, and Corner. I doubt we take a single CB this year, let alone an early one.

how about Aaron Curry He is Beast and i couldnt fit him in my draft

[jj45]

Patrick Chung, Oregon

[islandboy843]

Lovin Maclin for TEN.

[wicket]

At the moment i like curry a little better than cushing however a good player at a need position, Im not complaining. I would be surprised if the rams picked that low though

[Bills2083]

29. Bills TE Travis Beckum, Wisconsin  I wanted to go Corner but I didn’t see one at the end of the first round worth taking. Plus Beckum reminds me of the 49ers Vernon Davis. He is more of a speedy H-back at 6' 4" 235 lbs, but his speed will really stretch the field. Perfect for Trent Edwards




Why in the world would you want to give us another corner?
please explain.

[Matthew Jones]

Selvie works for me.

[thebow305]

Ughhh... disgusting Miami pick! Michael Johnson please!

[dunagan15]

First off, Matt Ryan plays for the Falcons not the Rams, and second if your going to give Atlanta a safety, which I like, lets at least make sure its William Moore. Taylor Mays is garbage, and shouldnt even be in the same sentence with Sean Taylor unless it is describing how a safety at that size should play the game.

[CJSchneider]

Deja vu - I couldhave sworn I responded to this mock already

7. 49ers OLB Michael Johnson

I'm starting to think that O-line may be one of if notthe biggest team need. Johnson is a beast, but not our biggest need. Micheal Oher would be great if he fell to us.

26. Saints LB, Brian Cushing

I'm a USC fan and I love this kid. Aaron Curry would be better IMO. You got the position right - it's merely a personal preference, not that I'd be upset if it happened.

[eaglesalltheway]

William Moore is a great pick for the Eagles, but you don't have Eugene Monroe in the first? Ot would be good and I doubt he is around until our second pick so Jamon Meredith or Jason Smith would be good picks. There are a few questionalble picks here, but both of your Eagles picks are good, if not great.

[abaddon41_80]

Ughhh... disgusting Miami pick! Michael Johnson please!

Please! I don't want the 49ers taking another workout warrior.

[OSUGiants17]

ok pick, I will take it. Love the sig btw

[rockio42]

great pick, not very original, but a great Rams pick nonetheless

[DiG]

not a big fan of the tyson jackson pick. i want someone who is going to get more consistent pressure on the quarterback. i just dont see the upside in tyson that i do in the other de's this year.
