Goblinslayer's 2009 NFL Mock Draft

[Goober]

We're one week away from the NFL draft, so I might as well throw my predictions out there. If you have questions about why I made a certain pick, just ask because I'm not going to write an explanation for every pick. Thoughts and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism would be nice, but if you think the mock sucks and that I'm retarded, I guess it is ok to say that too. I'm not going to predict any trades even though 4-5 of them will probably happen in the first round, because there's no way I can realistically predict them.

yea, I have a question...

why the hell would Indianapolis draft a safety in round 2?

The Colts don't have any huge needs, and I think they're in a position where they can take the best player available (after fixing their biggest need (DT) in the first round). Indianapolis has a great safety in Bob Sanders, but his is injury prone, so it makes sense for them to pick up a little depth at the position.

They already have depth at the position...


the have Melvin Bullet, who filled in last year and was fine... not to mention Bethea never has many injury problems... I don't think they'd waste a second round pick on a third string safety.

 

[DSpydr84]

I can't see Buffalo passing on a quality pass rusher this season. And I highly doubt they'll use the 28th pick on an offensive tackle.. they wouldn't trade away proven talent for potential (unless they're retarded).

Buffalo was backed into a corner int he Jason Peters trade. They had no other options, so they had to trade Peters. Now they need a new OT to replace him, so Britton is a logical pick imo.

 

[Goober]

Any reason in particular you see Miami taking Davis instead of Maualuga?

I just think CB is Miami's primary need after Andre Goodman left the Dolphins for Denver.

 

[Hasselbeck]

If we take Monroe over Crabtree or Sanchez I'm going to puke

 

[Aso]

They'll take Aaron Curry

 

[Hasselbeck]

They'll take Aaron Curry

Would like that a lot as well. Basically Monroe is the one pick that I would hate... nothing like spending 50 mil on a backup tackle thats soft as Charmin and cant play guard.

 

[Aso]

Andre Smith could play guard so he would be a better pick to the Seahawks than Monroe would.

 

[Blick]

I think Sanchez falling to 12 is wishful thinking as a Broncos fan.

We all know you loaded up about five mocks from NFL Network experts and copied them.

Goblin fails about as much as Jay Cutler.

 

[Archer]

I dont understand Indys pick in the 2nd round , we have 3 safetys who can all play at a high level.... why get a 4th??

Wed go CB before Safety.

LMAO, thats what most of these guys do. I can see doing the first round on general knowledge, but the second round too? Come on. I'd enjoy legitimate explanations based on you actually watching them play to justify their being picked.

He said it was for depth...

despite the fact that we just resigned Giordando and right now have 4 safeties on the depth chart.

I guess we need another one though. lol

Giordano is fast for a white boy safety.

LOL @ folks getting uptight over mock drafts. They are for fun, people.

Uptight? Just stating our opinions .

Mocks are serious business.
