SF - My 1st Mock of 2009

[sandyf]

First, I am a Dallas fan so if I get to homerism, sorry. Second, I will give a reason based on need of that team as I see it. Third, I see a few trades before hand but I will not give what the actual trade value will be because it is to uncertain to predict unless it is players. Last, I will throw in a couple of trades and possible free agent signings

1. - Detroit Lions - Sam Bradford QB Oklahoma - lots of needs but overall it is a QB that is priority one. Bradford might not come out but once he is evaluated, then he will declare.

2. - Cincinnita Bengals - Chris "Beanie" Wells RB Ohio State - they to need many areas and if Palmer is a questionmark, this could be a QB, also Wells will be a draw and for this franchise, they need a draw.

3. - Seattle Seahawks - Andre Smith OT Alabama - another place where if the doctors tell Hasselback he needs to retire then they either sign Matt Cassel in the free agency period or they draft a QB, if not then OT here and RB in the 2nd rd

4. - St. Louis Rams - Matthew Stafford QB Georgia - Rams could use Oher here but really how long is Bulger going to last, they need some life in this franchise and Stafford will give them some

5. - Kansas City Chiefs - Michael Oher OT Ole Miss - they will need someone to protect Thigpen who now is the heir apparent, look for a RB in the 2nd and DE in the 3rd, this could also be a Michael Johnson spot but offense sells tickets


6. - Oakland Raiders - Eugene Monroe OT Virginia - okay it is the Raiders and as much as they need an OT, it probably will be Crabtree but then the offense will still crater with no oline, best bet Oakland trades out of this spot for a few players and a pick or two, don't forget they pretty much mortaged their future with bad signing and cuts, really don't see them paying another top 10 draft pick, might look at a Philly or New England trade to here

7. - Jacksonville Jaguars - Michael Crabtree WR Texas Tech - they could surprise and go for (reach) for a OL here or a CB but I think Del Rio is gone and it could really change the picture

8. - Cleveland Browns - Malcolm Jenkins CB Ohio State - qestion is who will be the new head coach, if it is Marty S. then look for the defense on his 1st 3 picks, look for Anderson to be traded and to a NFC team, could be Tampa Bay as a landing place

9. - San Francisco 49ers - Brian Orakpo DE/OLB Texas - if Singletary is the coach then he will look at defense then the offense, then again I wouldn't be surprised that if Tebow comes out that Singletary opts for him since Tebow is his kinda of player

10. - Green Bay Packers - Vontae Davis CB Illinois - tough call here but injuries hurt the offense and they need to get way younger at DB

11. - San Diego Chargers - Michael Johnson DE Georgia Tech - no chance Johnson falls past San Diego, check who the GM is and it should tell you all you need to know, the only other option probably would be Keshon Moreno if he declares

12. - Buffalo Bills - George Selvie DE South Florida - the D is still hurting and they will go there.

13. - Houston Texans - Tyson Jackson DE LSU - could go safety here but this would give them bookends with Williams and make that defense as good as the Titans

14. - Chicago Bears - William Moore FS Missouri - they need a QB in my opinion this is why I really think this pick goes to Philly for McNabb

15. - Washington Redskins - Sen'Derrick Marks DT Auburn - they have the tools on offense but they get no pressue on the QB

16. - New Orleans Saints - Aaron Curry OLB Wake Forest - personally throw the whole defense out and start anew. Wouldn't be surprised to see Payton trade low round picks to Dallas for some of their has beens like Ellis and Roy Williams SS and a couple of others. Think it would be a mistake on the Saints part but it will be available.

17. - Philadelphia Eagles - Jason Smith OT Baylor - if Andy is still there then this will not surprise me

18. - Denver Broncos - Taylor Mays S USC - can anyone say they shouldn't here

19. - New York Jets - Mark Sanchez QB USC - more of a surprise pick but Farve is here for maybe only one more year and Jets want someone to learn quick

20. - Miami Dolphins - Mike Mickens CB Cincinnati - Big Bill will go he DB route or an OLB like Cushings

21. - New England Patriots - Brandon Spikes ILB Florida - probably won't be here for a couple of reasons, one they will find someone to move up for and two, in no way does Little Bill want to draft after Big Bill

22. - Arizona Cardinals - Knowshon Moreno RB Georgia - may have a great find in Hightower but he isn't a speed back like Moreno but the two of them together with their WR corp and that offense will be tough to stop

23. - Atlanta Falcons - Duke Robinson OG Oklahoma - Smith will address the OL this year for Ryan, this is a team to watch

24. - Detroit Lions (from DAL) - Alex Mack C California - new QB, new center, the D will be next

25. - Minnesota Vikings - Alphonso Smith CB Wake Forest - could be a QB trade here if they think they can get McNabb but I really think they only make a move for either McNabb or a trade up if Colt McCoy comes out, I know he said he wasn't but if the NFL evaluation says he will go top 10, then he will come out and it would change the whole complexion of the draft

26. - Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Jeremy Maclin WR Missouri - Bryant is coming on lately but they need a speed mechant

27. - Indianapolis Colts - Darius Butler CB UConn -several places to go here but I see D first but wouldn't be surprised to see Loadholt at OT be the pick either

28. - Baltimore Ravens - Percy Harvin WR Florida - the offense will be even tougher with Havin

29. - Philadelphia Eagles (from CAR) - Darrius Heyward-Bey WR Maryland - coudl go D here but who is really thrilled with the WR with the exception of Jackson

30. - Pittsburgh Steelers - Eben Britton OT Arizona - more help is needed on the OL to protect Big Ben

31. - New York Giants - Brian Cushing OLB USC - either here or a WR but you can get decent WR in later rounds

32. - Tennessee Titans - Rey Maualuga ILB USC - actually I could see this spot being a multi-team, multi-player trade betwenn Tennessee, Houston and Dallas where Titans end up with muti-picks, Houston ends up with Vince Young and picks and a couple of Dallas guys and Dallas gets this pick and takes Maualuga who probably replaces Zack Thomas by mid season.

D.J. Moore over harvin

if we must go w.r. there i would prefer dhb or kenny britt because they compliment our small recievers much better.

[BrodieCroylefan]

Brian Orakpo DE/OLB unless we can trade back.

[R3N3G4D3]

Love the pick for the Broncos.

That might be the worst Bengals pick... but what's even worse is the explanation- there's no way we'll draft a QB in the first 3-4 rounds

[RBrown86]

Gresham over DHB. Anyways good job.

lol i love your mocks SF you never look at needs at all Of all the positions on our o-line you could have given us You give us the 1 position we have 0 need at. When is the last time you watched a Falcons game? Our o-line has been pretty dominate. 2nd in the league in rushing and only allowing 1 sack a game.

Can you explain to me why you didn't pick one of our needs in

NT - Raji or Jerry

SS - Chung is probably only one but not good value so i can understand none here.

TE - Jermaine Grieshem - Best TE in draft and the really the only thing our offense needs. Our offense is not top 5 for nothing.

WLB - James Lauranitis - Need a replacement for Brooking.

Next thing you know you'll be giving us a WR or RB in the 2nd

2. - Cincinnita Bengals - Chris "Beanie" Wells RB Ohio State - they to need many areas and if Palmer is a questionmark, this could be a QB, also Wells will be a draw and for this franchise, they need a draw.


Do you mean because of his injury or play? Also give us Oher or Smith whoever is there because we don't need a rb if he doesn't have an Oline to run behind.

Terrible Bengals pick...We need O line help who can block for Carson's blind side. Oher would be the pick there. And no a QB would not be an option there.

Not sure I like St. Louis picking Staford. Would rather have O-line fixed up first and foremost before picking a QB up.

[hate2luvlions]

Excellent picks for the lions it would be sweet to get an LB in the 2nd round. We can wait till next year to get a dominant tackle. The lions need so many things, so why not start with a new QB and the best center to come out in a long time. Great job
