My first of three mocks leading up to the 2009 NFL Draft. The first of three will focus on the first round of the draft without any trades.

I'm too lazy to write up any comments about the picks for now.. so if you have any questions about why I went the way I did.. just ask away.

Without further ado..

If Nicks is still on the board, I don't see Indy snagging a DT not named Jerry or Raji.

Did almost have you guys going WR there. I think it's a toss up between needs really.

[Rylo]

I see Miami getting smith or english tbh. And lions getting curry

Yeah, they're both needs. DT, whilst being a bigger need, doesn't have the depth that the WR does this year. If Raji and Jerry are gone, it'll be a WR. Unless everyone goes apeshit on receivers in the first twentiesh picks.

[Hasselbeck]

I disagree with the Lions.. the only way they wind up with Curry is if they moved down and I cannot see that happening.

As for Miami.. they are a hard team to peg, I think Sintim would be a good fit though.. and Al Groh (a Parcells guy) raves about him.

[f16harm]

Miami will go Darius Butler if he's there, they need a corner badly and they are very high on the kid. Other choice would be Hakeem Nicks.

And sorry Hass, but no way Seattle's going Crabtree...it's going to be OL :D

[Nukleopatra]

Hass has been so stuck on Crabs at #4, he'll have the guy still going to seattle on his post draft wrap up, even if they pass on him.

He even has me wanting Seattle to take the guy.

Why? Not saying your wrong, I just want reasoning.

lol nuk..

I think we're going BPA, and in this mock that BPA is Crabtree.

If Jason Smith fell to 4, he would be the likely pick, but I just don't see us taking Monroe, Sanchez or Raji over Michael Crabtree.

[dave]

No chance the Birds take Wells.
Reid hates the run game ... and Wells not a good fit for what Reid does on offence.
Second Eagles pick makes sense.

No matter how many times you have the Hawks taking Crabtree, it ain't happening Hass. :D

San Fran unlikely to take Sanchez. They just re-did Smith's contract and I suspect because he's so young they'll give him one more shot.

[Hasselbeck]

Why? Not saying your wrong, I just want reasoning.

I've said this a few times on MM and in the thread about who the Lions will take at #1.

To summarize. Detroit needs a QB. They need someone to market their franchise around, to get people excited.. and I don't think that guy is Aaron Curry.

Curry is actually the #2 player on my entire board behind Michael Crabtree, but like the Texans and 49ers did when they had #1 picks.. the Lions have to at least try to get a franchise type QB. Matthew Stafford is the most likely guy to be that.

[Hasselbeck]

San Fran unlikely to take Sanchez. They just re-did Smith's contract and I suspect because he's so young they'll give him one more shot.

Yeah, saw that news after I made this mock.. so I'll likely change that on my next one.

[killgod]

English will go to NE instead of Matthews. He's a better fit.

[Aso]

The Seahawks will not select a WR. They just signed Houshmandzadeh. They will either go OT or Raji

If the Saints select Jenkins most likely it would to play safety. They have problems at safety and at cornerback they already have Mike Mckenzie, Tracy Porter, Randall Gay and they signed Jabari Greer to a 4 year contract.

I really cannot see Raji falling all the way to #11 or the Chargers selecting Knowshon Moreno. (Unless LT gets traded, but San Diego newspapers report that the Chargers are close to a deal to restructure Tomlinson's contract)

Also i don't see 4 DT's being selected in the first round with all the other players better that can be selected at the needed positions for the Colts and Titans.


Decent mock overall. I'll be creating my #3 mock in a few weeks just to make sure all of the major free agents have been signed then another one about a week prior to draft day.
