With the 6th pick in the 2009 NFL draft the Cincinati Bengals select



Andre Smith OT Alabama

It was close call between Raji and Andre Smith. Even with Smiths latest combine fiasco he is just to good to pass up. Crabtree got serious consideration here also but I just couldnt justify taking a WR when there should be a couple of pretty good ones to select with my 2nd round pick.

Nailed it! :whip:
 
I have a lot of Raiders fan friends so i took the past week to pick their brains about what to do. From the looks of it Tom Cable wants to start Mario Henderson at LT next year. Had Smith fallen to me at 7 however, I would've switched him over to RT and Smith to LT. Crabtree is a big lure here but there has been a huge gapping hole in the Raiders run defense. I couldn't miss the opportunity to take a big step in addressing the need.

With the 7th pick of the 2009 draft the Oakland Raiders select:


DT Boston College - B.J. Raji
 
With the 8th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft...the Jacksonville Jaguars select...



Michael Oher - OT - Ole Miss

Reason ~ This was a tough pick because the Jags needed a big DT next to John Henderson but BJ Raji was taken a pick before. Khalif Barnes is a FA and the Jags need someone to protect Garrard. Oher, with motivation and coaching can become an elite OT but its going to take lots and lots of work. I could have gone DT or CB, but there well be plenty to choose from in the next few rounds. After Oher, there is a drop off at the talent level of OTs so this is why Oher makes sense.

Just saw your PM. Thanks Mussop.

Everyone should continue to PM me your top 3 when you are 2-3 picks away if you want, to keep this thing rolling. Of course if you are going to be around to make your pick then dont worry about PM'ing me your list.
 
This years OTs is more about quality then quantity, unlike last year. After Oher, the rest of the OTs are solid but nothing special.

This mock is going really well and it's relalistic which makes this possibily the best one out there.
 
With the 9th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft the Green Bay Packers select:

Tyson Jackson - DE, LSU

Analysis: With the switch to the 34, Kampman will be switching to OLB, leaving a gap at DE.

I was tempted by Everette Brown here but the LB crew as a whole looks a whole lot better than the crew in the trenches so the pick was Jackson. He will be a powerful force against the run and won't have many pass rushing duties, but he will find a way to get himself a few sacks.
 
Not what I was hoping for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:foottap:

That sound was me throwing a phone across the room FYI.

Amazing how fast this thing goes with no trades huh? We could probably knock out 7 rounds if we wanted to.

Or how fast it goes when you have folks that are committed, we have already gone through this recently once before, we now have the combine and FA moves fresh in our minds, etc.
 
The first picks are usually faster because there isn't much changing to do. Later rounds take more time because guys you had planned on taking are now off the board

Actually someone I wanted gone was still there.

May regret this but I still believe you build inside out.

With the 10th selection the san Francisco 49ers select


*Everette Brown 6-1.5, 256 Florida State (OLB)

With the #11 pick in the NFL draft the Buffalo Bills select :

Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech

Do the 9ers run a 4-3 or a 3-4? It's a 4-3 isn't it? Is Brown going to be a DE for them?

I think you made the right call. A tweener is such a gamble when building a 3-4 defense. A big boy DE that can hold the point of attack from 2 blockers is just more critical when building a 3-4 defense IMO.
 
With the 32nd pick in the NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select... :thinking:

Wait... what's that? Excuse me, I've got some more time? "Eggsellennt."


I like how this mock is going so far!
 
Just want to remind anyone out there who is reading this thread but didnt sign up in time that I currently am the GM of 2 entertaining teams, and would be happy to pass one along to you. You gotta PM me before the 17th pick, and be approved by the draftnick-society!

With the 12th pick the Denver Broncos select the ILB of the future, and ROY candidate Rey Maualuga.
Click to expand...

Yeah, the Broncos desperately need defense. No better place to start than the middle and I suspect he'll quickly become the leader/captain of the D.

Good pick. :goodpost:
 
I know Aaron was interested, but I dont really know much about him besides his 28 post count. Anyone have something to say?

Also, good pick on Rey Rey. A great match IMO. I was hoping he would slide to 20, but knew better.
 
This draft is shaping up nicely. I am little surprised by how far Crabtree fell, but the picks prior were good. I am hoping my guys will still be there...
 
Am a bit surpised on Crabtree myself. I think the surgery came at a bad time and like someone else pointed out you can tell this is a Texans fan draft. Lot of inside out building and a good value pick by the Bills.
 
Super Mario said:
Because this is a Houston Texans forum. I think we hold something against skill players. Also he didnt do combine, and is having surgery. So he is slipping a little bit in peoples heads.
Click to expand...

Well it is a little hard for us to justify taking a WR or skill player high when we already have guys like Andre Johnson & Steve Slaton. Our problem has always been on the lines. When you build a team you start in the trenches and that is pretty much the motto for our entire fanbase so it doesn't really come to any suprise.

Besides getting skilled positions first has worked out great for teams such as the Lions and Raiders.
 
Yeah, if a team's picking in the top 5 odds are they aren't very good along the LOS. The wisest thing to do is build inside out........unless you're Al Davis or Matt Millen.

Funny how those two teams almost always have a top 10 pick too. I'm not a rocket scientist, but there must be a correlation in there somewhere.

This was both a need and a value selection.

The Bills need more weapons in the passing game. The need is more pressing than some seem to realize. Their top 3 receivers for the last 2 years have been Lee Evans, Josh Reed, and Roscoe Parrish. I would argue that none of these guys are #1 receiver material, even though Lee Evans is a talented receiver.

Crabtree can be the Bills #1 receiver for the future, and Lee Evans can move to a #2 receiver role. Roscoe Parrish has always been a slot type of receiver, and Josh Reed is good depth as a backup wideout who specializes as a possession receiver.

I was actually targeting Jeremy Maclin with this pick, but Crabtree fell right into my lap.
