Leftwich's 2009 NFL Mock Draft Version 1

[BonesMahoney95]

I still don't see Tampa taking a RB, even though you put your reasoning in there.. I know Caddy is unreliable(reports are that he tore the same ligament in his left knee know, after doing it to his right last year). And I basically agree about Dunn and Graham, but I don't really see the need to draft a RB that high. Graham is a good RB and if we could get a RB in the mid rounds(maybe similar to Dunn), that would be great. I still think a WR to take over for Galloway/play next to Bryant is a bigger need. Another year with Stovall on the Bucs roster is a year too long.

This is a very early look at the draft guys so expect it to keep changing until draft day. We still have to see the senior bowl, combine and what happens in free agency.

Dolphins won't draft DT. Parcells will go for DE/LB hybrids because he has man crushes on them. We need DB's, though.

I thought about that too and more than likely in my next update of the draft they'll take a CB or OLB.

 

[Leftwich]

lol BME called me by my Gov't name

But I dunno i have an odd feeling that Orakpo could be a 3-4 LB or 4-3 end. So I to be 100% honest have no idea what team really should get him.

 

[Aso]

I don't think the dolphins will draft a DE/OLB because they already have Matt Roth and Joey Porter their.

 

[zack54attack]

Gonna have to disagree with the Bears... They need a WR more than a DE in the first round..

 

[Leftwich]

I was working on my second round and deleted everything

 

[Leftwich]

Nah I'm gonna work on it tomorrow. I'm to tired to really think about team needs.

 

[Bmore]

good stuff so far. DHB in Baltimore would make me have a boner all the time.

 

[ultfrisbee]

I think the Lions will draft Crabtree. They still need another WR.

No the hell they dont. the ones they have are ok. The only reason they seem soo weak is becuz of their QB, but then their QB is weak becuz of the O-Line.

As far as the players go, the O-Line is the root of their problem.

Round 2

Will be updated later.

 

[BonesMahoney95]

Good mock. I don't really see the Bucs taking a OLB though. Maybe. I know Quincy Black and Adam Hayward have played decent when they got the chance(both drafted 2 years ago). Who knows when Brooks is gonna retire though.

 

[Chadman]

kc wont get a qb. they have thigpen.....

How many times are people gonna tell me that Bryant?! Its a very early look at the draft.

I like the 2nd round Leftwich, just a couple things I want to add.

1. Brian Cushing is (IMO) and a lot of others eyes; the best or 2nd best OLB in the draft. There is a chance he could fall to the 2nd round no doubt. But I doubt he falls that far.

2. Where is Kevin Barnes? Barnes is easily on the top 10 corners list coming into the draft. Barnes size alone will get him tons of looks. 6'1", 188lbs and 4.45 speed. He's like a poor mans Malcolm Jenkins.

His play lifted him this year and depending on how he looks today against Nevada, he could be lifted even more. He'll be at the Senior bowl most likely and he'll be another Maryland Terp who is a work out warrior.

(IMO) he will be the 2nd Terp taken (after DHB) and should be taken mid to late 2nd round. I'm not sure if you are familiar with him though so allow me to show you a video.

As I've said before a lot of off season workouts and what not have yet to be done. But seriously some of you guys need to do some homework on Domonique Johnson. He is like Rodgers-Cromartie from last year but not quite as good.

 

[Maestro]

Whoa i like the draft,but you have to look at Brian Orakpo going to KC.They look content with Thingpen(i dont know why i see him as being way overrated).Tambi Hali looks like a bust and they got rid of Allen,so they need to rush the QB.I would love for Brian Orakpo to fall to the Packers,but i just dont see it happening.

 

[Leftwich]

After the National Championship is played I'll do my next mock draft. I expect a lot of changes. I recommend a lot of you guys do them to, they're a lot of fun and you learn a lot about players you didn't know anything about.
