They haven't been determined yet.

The reason I asked about the draft order is b/c nfl.com has the draft order posted and I wanted to know if we were following that format (which we are).

Hawks' got a good OT in the 1st, I suggest going defense or picking up a WR. Maybe even consider a OG??? They need help at safety also and a CB wouldn't hurt either.


Still stuck...ask Charlie Casserly, he knows whats best!
 
With the 37th pick in the NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks select:

Sean Smith, CB/S, Utah

Sean Smith is an interesting case, because he's been projected somewhere between the 1st and the 3rd. I think his excellent combine performance, his elite size and speed, and his intense competitiveness help him move up the draft board. His ability to play either S or CB in the NFL is a plus for the Seahawks, who have big holes at both. They can see where he fits in better during minicamp and move from there

I'm not sure if you're asking for suggestions, but I can offer a couple ideas.
I know you already grabbed an OT, but they could still use a C. Max Unger maybe?

They're in need of a FS too, I think. Possibly Sean Smith or Delmas?

OLB, Sintim?

Just off the top of my head ideas. :)

*edit: Nevermind :) That's a solid pick, gtex
 
Sean Smith is a good pick. He is listed at 6'3" and well no doubt be able to handle the likes of Calvin Johnson and Randy Moss. He also has good speed but I project him to play SS, like a Kerry Rhodes.

Randy Moss? They don't even play the Pats this year.
 
With the 38th pick the Cincinati Bengals selct Clint Sintim.

If fixing the offensive line is job 1 for the Bengals this offseason, fixing the pass rush is job 1a. The Bengals had just 17 sacks last season, tied with the Browns for second-fewest in the league. Adding Sintim next to Keith Rivers not only bolsters an average LB group but also improves their ability to rush the passer. Sintim led the entire country in linebacker sacks as a senior with eleven.

Players considered here were

Robert Ayers - but with about $60 million invested in two current defensive ends, Antwan Odom and Robert Geathers, plus former third-round pick Frostee Rucker in the fold, I have to get my sacks from somewhere else.

Ron Brace - Just felt this was to high for him.

Max Unger - Center Eric Ghiacuic consistently struggled against top-tier defensive linemen, is not expected to return and his backup is converted guard Dan Santucci, a seventh-round pick in 2007. Just felt that I could get a quality C later in the draft.
 
With the 39th overall pick in the 2nd round...the Jags select...

Ron Brace - DT - Boston College

After loosing Marcus Stroud, the Jags d-line sturggled so this is why Brace makes sense. Powerful, big, and stout at the point of attack, Brace and Henderson will once again dominate the d-line.
 
Brace makes sense for the Jags because they like to have two run stuffers in the middle but I just don't get the love affair from the internet gurus with this guy.

He is the same exact player as Frank Okam, who we got in the 5th round last year.

I don't mean to come down on you for the pick, but you could have gotten a different one dimensional DT of equal talent later in the draft.

True, but I'm not sure if Filla Mola from USC or Terrance Taylor from Michigan would fit b/c both of these players need to be on certain scheme-specfic teams. Brace eats up space and can colasspe the pocket and Henderson can coach him up. Dunno of any injuries but Brace would excel under Del Rio IMO.

I have been saying this for awhile now.

Well that makes two of us.

I don't buy into his hype at all. He is a big guy that can hold down blockers. He can't collapse the pocket and he can't chase down a play unless it is coming directly into his gap.

He is a one-dimensional player. I think he would be ideal in a 34 where he can keep guys off the LB's, but other than that I don't think he has much value.

So you saying you wanted him for the Packers NG .
 
I'm with y'all. I think Brace easily has a place in the NFL and could be a good NT. I don't want him for the Texans at all unless it's a later round pick like Okam was.

Jags do like their big bodied DTs though so the pick make sense. I would have figured a WR/CB with this pick though.

In the 3rd or 4th round maybe.

If he had dropped to me here, there is no way I would select him though. There are way better players available right now.

I'm down to three guys right now, depending on who Oakland selects. Brace wasn't even on my radar at this selection.

I'm behind you but I don't see conflicts with us .
 
Hmm well I guess it's a good thing I took a Tackle #2 instead of Aaron Curry seeing as how the Rams released Orlando Pace today.

As for the Texans though I am eagerly awaiting the pick so that I can let Shaft know how much I dislike it lol.

Yes very smart move... You really are the GM aren't you? You knew it was coming. :thinking:
 
With the 93rd pick, the Titans select QB Vince Young again because we figured we still needed a backup QB, one to groom for the future and since this is where we should've selected him to begin with....

Wait, is it the 3rd round yet?

Your going to take him ahead of Pat White, are you crazy?

Well I still have a 2nd round pick to throw away!!!

We've got this new thing cooking up here in F-your-sister-land...no, no, no, it's not a new type of meth-amphetamine, it's called the "Double Wildcat" Pat White will run it with Fast or Lunch at RB, VY is going to get as close to the field as he can and do his best kitty-cat impersonation for 3.9 quarters and then we'll put Vince in to hold on to the lead at the end so it looks like he won the game for all the people just flipping through channels.

I think the Jags taking Michael Oher was a horrible selection, honestly. The guy is one of my favorite players in the draft and I'll be highly disappointed if he goes to a division rival!!!! :spit:

Lol...honestly had I know they would sign Tra Thomas my pick wouldv'e been different. Oher, comming from humble backgrounds, has the heart and watching him during interviews he leaves you with an impression that he is a team-guy and not a "its all about me" type of person. Not to mention, he has a nasty demeanor for playing hard play-after-play. He has a lot of work to do and if the Jags do take him, he can learn a lot from Tra Thomas.

However, Mario Williams well still find a way to school the guy. Just wish it was Andre Smith instead of Oher. I would pay a million bucks to see Smith clueles and Mario would just "walk past him" and sack the QB.

Everyone hates my pick. You guys are gonna be all like why are you taking a kicker? And I'll be like mind your own business, I control the Texans draft and if I want to Casserly it all up, I will.
 
Sorry this took so long guys I had work and HW for class. Got two tests this week and a paper due. Took time out to do some good research for this team. On the Raiders fanboard they seem like Khalif Barnes will sign with them or now that Pace is on the market makes me think i went well with taking DT Raji even if they have a lot tied up on the DL.

There's a few directions I could've gone with this pick especially after Jake Grove was released. Problem I keep running into is they have NO ONE outside of Javon Walker and he hasn't seen the field a lot. They also released Ronald Curry signaling to me they are goingto overhaul the WR one way or another. Probably hope Crabtree fall to them at 7 realistically. I think this is a good value pick for them here though.

With the 39th pick of the 2009 Draft the Oakland Raiders select

WR Kenny Britt of Rutgers
 
The Green Bay Packers have just completed the steal of the draft (thus far).

After toying with the idea of taking Everette Brown in the first round, the Packers decided to go with DE Tyson Jackson because they felt that a quality pass rushing OLB would be available in the next round.

With the 41st overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft the Green Bay Packers select:

Aaron Maybin - OLB, Penn St

maybin_aaron_2.jpg


Athletically, Maybin is a top 25 talent. But he has fallen this far because of concerns that he does not have a true position. He may not be big enough to play DE in a 43 and he may not be able to cover well enough to play OLB in a 43 either.

So what do we do with him? We take his natural pass rushing skills and use him as a rush LB in a 34. He may be asked to play a little bit in coverage but his main responsibility will be to get to the QB, which he is very good at.

Hell yeah, that's a no-brainer for the Packers. I can't believe he fell this far. I thought long and hard about taking him at 26 for Baltimore, but couldn't pass on Alphonso Smith. Honestly, if the Ravens had signed someone better than Foxworth, I probably would have pulled the trigger.

No doubt the steal of the draft so far. Nice haul for the pack through 2 rounds.
