2009 Mock Draft
| # | Team | Pick | |
| 1 |  |
Detroit Lions (0-16) |
QB Sam Bradford, Oklahoma - Bradford could be the Matt Ryan of 2009 if the Lions snag him with the first pick. They desperately need a good quarterback to help the rebuilding process. |
| 2 |  |
St. Louis Rams (2-14) |
OT Andre Smith, Alabama - The Rams have some solid players to build around if they could protect the quarterback and open holes for Steven Jackson. |
| 3 |  |
Kansas City Chiefs (2-14) |
WR Michael Crabtree, T-Tech - Pair this guy with Dwayne Bowe and the Chiefs have a threatening passing game….if they had a quarterback. Maybe that’ll come in the second round, but Crabtree is going to be a star. |
| 4 |  |
Seattle Seahawks (4-12) |
OT Michael Oher, Ole Miss - The Seahawks need pass protection and Oher is the second best in the draft. |
| 5 |  |
Cleveland Browns (4-12) |
DE Michael Johnson, G-Tech - No. 93 made play after play for the Yellow Jackets and he’ll be needed in Cleveland to help that woeful defense. |
| 6 |  |
Cincinnati Bengals (4-11-1) |
OT Eugene Monroe, UVA- The Bengals were worst in the league on third downs because the offensive line was pathetic. Monroe is the best left and the Bengals need him and more. |
| 7 |  |
Oakland Raiders (5-11) |
S Taylor Mays, USC - The 6′3″ safety is a powerful hitter who can be a game changer, someone the Raiders need on defense. |
| 8 |  |
Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11) |
CB Malcom Jenkins, Ohio St. - Jenkins was a top prospect last year before he decided to return. The Jags were awful defending the pass and Jenkins should start immediately. |
| 9 |  |
Green Bay Packers (6-10) |
DE Brian Orakpo, Texas - He’s a beast the Packers did after a disappointing 2008 season for the defense. Although he is coming off knee surgery, Orakpo should not be overlooked. |
| 10 |  |
San Francisco 49ers (7-9) |
DE Greg Hardy, Ole Miss - Mike Singletary will focus on his defense and Hardy, although he’ll need to put on some more weight, is quick and ferocious. |
| 11 |  |
Buffalo Bills (7-9) |
DE Everette Brown, FSU - Bills desperately need a sack artist. |
| 12 |  |
Denver Broncos (8-8) |
LB Rey Maualuga, USC - The Broncos need to focus on defense for the entire draft. Seek out linebackers and try them all out against one another. Let the best man win. |
| 13 |  |
Washington Redskins (8-8) |
LB Aaron Curry, Wake Forest - The Redskins may want to consider bringing in a quarterback to challenge Jason Campbell, but Aaron Curry is a sure bet at linebacker for the Redskins. |
| 14 |  |
New Orleans Saints (8-8) |
CB Vontae Davis, Illinois - The Saints still cannot defend the pass. The Saints need to keep trying at this position until they find a winner because they got killed this year with the big pass plays. |
| 15 |  |
Houston Texans (8-8) |
LB James Laurinaitis, Ohio St. - The Houston Texas have offensive firepower, but the defense needs improvement. |
| *The order of the following teams could change based on the playoffs. | |||
| 16 |  |
San Diego Chargers (8-8) |
WR Percy Harvin, Florida - Chris Chamber fizzled after catching five touchdowns in four games. He just was not effective. So bring in this kid and give Phillip Rivers a deep threat. |
| 17 |  |
New York Jets (9-7) |
QB Matt Stafford, Georgia - If Brett Favre leaves no one feels real good about the backups for the Jets. |
| 18 |  |
Chicago Bears (9-7) |
WR Jeremy Maclin, Missouri - The Bears may seek a wide receiver in free agency or a trade, but if not, Maclin would pair with with Devon Hester. |
| 19 |  |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7) |
RB Chris Wells, Ohio St. - Cadillac’s career looks to be over and the Bucs would loving nothing more than to not lose a step in the backfield. Wells can help this team make the playoffs. |
| 20 | |
Detroit Lions (9-7, Pick via Cowboys) |
OT Jason Smith, Baylor - Goster Cherilus and Jason Smith should provide good protection for the Lions new franchise quarterback. |
| 21 |  |
Arizona Cardinals (9-7) |
RB Knowshon Moreno, Georgia - The Cardinals aren’t likely to rely on just Tim Hightower. Moreno can run over people and move around them. |
| 22 |  |
Philadelphia Eagles (9-6-1) |
FS William Moore, Missouri - The Eagles will need help at safety. |
| 23 |  |
Minnesota Vikings (10-6) |
TE Brandon Pettigrew, Oklahoma State -The Vikings need a great hands tight end. |
| 24 |  |
New England Patriots (11-6) |
OLB Clint Sintim, Virginia - He can play outside and at the end. Sintim may be the best defensive player taken in the first round when it is all said and done. |
| 25 |  |
Atlanta Falcons (11-5) |
DT BJ Raji, Boston College - Raji will replacing the aging Grady Jackson. |
| 26 |  |
Miami Dolphins (11-5) |
CB Alphonso Smith, Wake Forest - His height is a problem but he is probably still one of the top corners available. |
| 27 |  |
Baltimore Ravens (11-5) |
CB DJ Moore, Vanderbilt - The Ravens will look to continue to improve their defense. |
| 28 |  |
Indianapolis Colts 12-4) |
NT Terrence Cody, Alabama - A huge 365 elephant should be able to stop the runs up the middle, right? |
| 29 | |
Philadelphia Eagles (12-4; Pick via Panthers) |
TE Jermaine Gresham, Oklahoma - The Eagles need to upgrade their tight end and Gresham could be a steal here. |
| 30 |  |
Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) |
C Alex Mack, Cal - The top center in the nation can immediately upgrade a Steeler O-line that needs it. |
| 31 |  |
New York Giants (12-4) |
OLB Brian Cushing, USC - A New Jersey native, Cushing is a good run stopper. He’s the best left on the board. |
| 32 |  |
Tennessee Titans (13-3) |
OT Ciron Black, LSU - There’s got to be some depth for the Titans offensive line. |
The Cowboys should draft Lemmiwinks. He has heart.
December 31st, 2008 at 3:36 pmHey..Hat is there anyway iggy this troll?..
December 31st, 2008 at 4:10 pmI just found this story LandryHat, and thought you might like to check it out.
December 31st, 2008 at 4:48 pmThe problem we have with our passing game is that we don’t put enough pressure on the quarterback, not that we need a new cornerback. I think it is interesting that both you and the guys over at ArrowheadAddict gave us defensive guys. When I looked through pictures of the Jaguars’ season, they were all of David Garrard on his butt after being sacked or knocked down after a pass. We desperately need to fix our offensive line before we fix any spots that are performing well enough.
December 31st, 2008 at 4:49 pmYes I read that steamroller..The problem is JJ listens to no one..Well I have a thought for him..If he thinks he will sell that stadium out with another performance..like this past year..He better think again..
December 31st, 2008 at 5:00 pmThis team desperately needs coaching..JJ doesn’t see that..He sees what he wants to see..Shanahan would be a great hire..If Wade knew how to fix anything..he would have fixed it this season..
Every year..JJ gets a little more like Al Davis..
Great work here LandryHat. I don’t even see how you took the time to do it this year since Dallas doesn’t even get 1 first round pick this year.
December 31st, 2008 at 5:09 pmIf there is one thing I could really question at this point is the Philadelphia and Minnesota picks. Pettigrew is definately the best TE in this draft, but with Philly likely unloading on a lot of these older offensive linemen, I would expect them to go for youth there and early. Minnesota has Visanthe Shiancoe, and he is a pretty damn good tight end. Pettigrew is really good too, but I would think just best available defensive player for them. Maybe another pass rusher to help the cause they were after last year when they picked up Jared Allen.
Special Teams Coach gets the boot.
December 31st, 2008 at 7:05 pmno way stafford lasts that long
December 31st, 2008 at 9:35 pm[...] The Landry Hat [...]
December 31st, 2008 at 10:46 pmEugene Monroe is not the third best OT and 3 OT’s aren’t going in the top 6. Worst of all Eugene Monroe went to UVA not VT. Blasphemy.
January 1st, 2009 at 1:47 pmSo I’m clear Monroe is the 1 or 2 OT not 3rd.
January 1st, 2009 at 1:48 pmhi jeane
January 1st, 2009 at 4:59 pmi this they should trade some1 to the lions and draft Taylor Mays..plus we need a saftey!!!!!!!
January 2nd, 2009 at 3:51 pmJehad, welcome. I doubt the Cowboys will make any splash in the upcoming draft.
January 2nd, 2009 at 5:12 pmHowley, just a oversight. I know where he goes to college.
However, I will hold you to your prediction that 3 OTs don’t go in the top 6. There’s one good receiver in the entire draft. There are maybe 2 or 3 QBs worth looks. There aren’t many defensive stars and the running back talent is nothing like it was last year. So, I see a lot of teams addressing their O lines and this draft has a good number of them.
January 2nd, 2009 at 5:16 pmSintim is a guy I like, but I’m guessing that the Pats go for TE or SS with the #24 pick. They’ll likely address their starting LB need in free agency or through a trade, and then pick up some other LB prospects in later rounds (after all, with trades and compensatories, the Pats have 2 in Rd-2, 2 in Rd-3 and 2 in Rd-4 at least).
January 2nd, 2009 at 6:25 pmI agree LHat, the strength of this draft class is definately the offensive line. Dallas needs to let a couple underachievers go and upgrade there. Left tackle if any decent ones are available by the time it comes their turn. Maybe move Flozell to guard? And I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if three OT’s go in the top six because the salary of any players in the top 10 at skills positions get enormous contracts. This league is greatly influenced by the salary cap.
January 2nd, 2009 at 10:42 pmKC won’t be passing on a franchise QB with a new GM and Head Coach in town. If Stafford is available the Chiefs will select him. The Chiefs head Texas regional scout is Mike Hagans who is a family friend of the Staffords.
January 4th, 2009 at 1:18 pmthe chiefs do have a youthful quarterback in tyler thigpen who just has no time to throw the ball… they also have young recievers who will be good when they grow up.. they should go after the best OT available
January 7th, 2009 at 4:31 amTheir is noway KC will pass on Matt Stafford with a new regime in place, and with that interjection Stafford has prominent connections to the Hunt family as well. If he’s their he’ll be a KC Chief
January 8th, 2009 at 7:59 pmCommenting usually isnt my thing, but ive spent an hour on the site, so thanks for the info
March 16th, 2009 at 11:05 ami think the cowboys should get patrick chung from oregon that guy is a beast and he might fall that low and we need a safety
April 19th, 2009 at 6:49 pmi thank the boyz should take te/wr/ qb james casey from rice. i also think he would be great if they use the wildcat or whatever they decide to call their version.
