Yawkey's 2009 Mock Draft Installment #1

[Champ]

Why does this feel like I read it somewhere else?

 

[DomePatrol]

Because you probably have.

 

[Maestro]

Great draft man,sure some picks can be disputed but its good.

 

[Yawkey Way]

i did this on my own turtle, picks may be similar to other people's because theres are a thousand mock drafts out there, but i did this all on my own.

 

[j.hen]

Bradford > Stafford in terms of whos more NFL ready. And it kills me to say this because I hate Sam Bradford.

I thought he was talking about my rant. At this point tho alot of mock drafts are going to be similiar without a combine and pro day. Its not like a player is going to fall off up until that point.

 

[Yawkey Way]

and even after the combine/pro day, i don't think you will see too many EXTREME changes, maybe a few players shooting up draft boards but not many.

yawkey, who else could the steelers get if duke doesnt fall to them? i havent really read up on this year's O-line class

There are two guards worth looking at.
Of course Duke Robinson, but then you have Herman Johnson out of LSU. Those are the top two guards that will go in the first two rounds.

Then for OT you have
Andre Smith
Michael Oher
Eugene Monroe
Jason Smith
Eben Britton

i'll have to change ciron black as i guess he isn't coming out of college.

Yeah I believe that I heard that he is staying in college. This moves Britton and William Beatty up higher on the boards for OT.

 

[Aso]

I don't like how the raiders take a LB then the very next pick the jags take an OT. Rediculous to say the least.

 

[ZAN]

Very nice, Yawkey Way.

A couple things:

1. I don't think Gresham could possibly fall THAT far. He's just too much of a weapon for any offense. For Philly to possibly nab him that late is an absolute steal.

2. I think your analysis of the Bears draft strategy was very good. We need WR help desperately. Maclin is the type of gamebreaker we need. Not to mention he's just a damn good WR.

3. Vontae Davis (here comes the Dome Patrol). Great assessment. Hey dome, you forgot he hits like a truck too. Stats, intangibles, and video footage I presented to you. You gave me opinions in return. Just thank god you don't scout for the Saints, you'd be MUCH worse off.

 

[Kia Kaha]

did you guys hear Gerlad McCoy aint declaring, dont know why, he would of been a top 10 pick for sure

 

[inthecards21]

thanks for the info yawk

 

[Yawkey Way]

Bradford is returning to school as well as taylor mays and ciron black, that will change things up.

 

[Apocalypse]

Well..Stafford is looking like the consensus #1 pick since Bradford is staying in school..

I'd like to see the Lions take A.Smith #1 though, cause if we went run based and with a below-average QB to get the ball to Calvin, Furrey, etc, we'd be fine as long as our run game works, and to do that, we need studs in the O-Line.

Idk, things are gonna change obviously throughout the course up to the draft, but that's my thought atm right now for my Lions..lol.

 

[Woy]

I like Harvin to the Titans; we desperately need a wide out.

 

[Yawkey Way]

a lot of new things will change my draft around..gresham returning Sanchez Harvin coming out, spikes returning.
