keggerz Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) I don't usually mess with trying to predict the NFL Draft but for some reason I felt compelled to do so this year...so feel free to have fun at my expense...The one thing that I feel very comfortable saying without doing any research at all is that I doubt there is another Mock out there that starts like mine does for the 1st 3 picks...I also am not even gonna mess with who I think is trading up and/or down...especially with how fluid one trade can make the rest of the 1st round...sowith that said....load those guns up and start shootin' Det: Eugene Monroe OT STL: Jason Smith OT KC: Andre Smith OT SEA: Matthew Stafford QB CLE: Michael Crabtree WR CINN: Brian Orapko DE OAK: Jeremy Maclin WR JAX: Michael Oher OT GB: BJ Raji DT SF: Mark Sanchez QB BUFF: Tyson Jackson DE DEN: Aaron Curry LB WASH: Robert Ayers DE NO: Malcom Jenkins CB HOU: Brian Cushing LB SD: Rey Mauluga LB NYJ: Hakeem Nicks WR DEN: Peria Jerry DT TB: Aaron Maybin DE DET: James Laurinatis LB PHI: Branden Pettigrew TE MINN: Eben Britton OT NE: Darius Butler CB ATL: Everette Brown DE MIA: Clay Mathews LB BALT: Darius Heyward-Bey WR INDY: Fili Moala DT BUFF: Michael Johnson DE NYG: Kenny Britt WR Tenn: SenDerrick Marks DT ARZ: Knoshon Moreno RB PITT: Eric Wood C Edited April 20, 2009 by keggerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Curry won't make it past Seattle in my opinion. Not a big Raji fan but hear Green Bay will take him if he's there. I think Pittsburgh would take Duke Robinson before Wood. No Josh Freeman? Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) I like it. It's what I would've done, uhh, no offense I agree that Curry would be taken earlier. I actually think he is one of the guys that once he starts to fall will trigger a trade and throw a wrench in this mock edit: and it wouldnt surpise me to see Cinncy take Curry either Edited April 20, 2009 by keggerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I don't think there is any way, shape or form, that Curry slides past the Chiefs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 No Wells in the 1st round? Moreno falling to #30?? I've seen some mocks with him going to DEN at #12....Arizona gets a steal here if he does indeed fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hammock Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) Det: Eugene Monroe OTSTL: Jason Smith OT KC: Andre Smith OT SEA: Matthew Stafford QB CLE: Michael Crabtree WR CINN: Brian Orapko DE OAK: Jeremy Maclin WR JAX: Michael Oher OT GB: BJ Raji DT SF: Mark Sanchez QB BUFF: Tyson Jackson DE DEN: Aaron Curry LB WASH: Robert Ayers DE NO: Malcom Jenkins CB HOU: Brian Cushing LB SD: Rey Mauluga LB NYJ: Hakeem Nicks WR DEN: Peria Jerry DT TB: Aaron Maybin DE DET: James Laurinatis LB PHI: Branden Pettigrew TE MINN: Eben Britton OT NE: Darius Butler CB ATL: Everette Brown DE MIA: Clay Mathews LB BALT: Darius Heyward-Bey WR INDY: Fili Moala DT BUFF: Michael Johnson DE NYG: Kenny Britt WR Tenn: SenDerrick Marks DT ARZ: Knoshon Moreno RB PITT: Eric Wood C I can see some of it going that way, but not three OT's in a row to open the draft. I don’t think that has ever happened before. What is interesting is barring Curry will not fall that far, you seemed to be able to readjust the draft back to normal as the picks went on, although some of the picks you had are way too high. I think once the first 5 picks are over the 2009 draft is going to be very easy to follow and pick apart.

SF409ers Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I will just keep beating this drum on behalf of most 49er homers I know on this board and in general. Come draft day if they did indeed take Sanchez at #10 not only would I be shocked, I would be very disappointed as I am sure most 49er fans would be, but I will eat my crow and go to my corner, I just honestly don't for the life of me see them doing this.

That might make history. actually I couldnt figure out exactly what the bills would do but I think they come away with 1 of those guys so I sorta hedged my bet is all i toyed with an OL or an OLB here but in end I just decided to hedge as said above(if it makes you feel better you can plug in William Beatty, OT, Connecticut for the 28th pick) Edited April 20, 2009 by keggerz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Cheezhead Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'm glad someone else agrees with me on the Curry fall. Is he a better prospect than Keith Rivers, Ernie Sims, Derrick Johnson or Patrick Willis? No. Is he going to be selected much higher than those guys because of team needs? No. In fact, it's hard to make an argument that any team in the top 10 really "needs" a linebacker like Curry. He a strongside LB who doesn't rush the passer. I'm not hatin' on the dude, but being the best LB in the 2009 class isn't much of a selling point. Especially considering the 3-4 teams who have no use for him, he could easily fall to #12, where I'd agree that Denver would be all over him. Wherever he ends up, he'll be a solid, sure-tackling LB. But you don't pay $30 million guaranteed for THAT. Criticisms: I don't think Nicks will be drafted in the top 40, the Niners won't draft Sanchez (or even have a chance to), I couldn't see Denver passing on the top RB on their board in favor of Jerry, and (of course) Buffalo probably won't draft two DEs in the 1st. Recently, they've been unafraid to draft for need (Whitner, Lynch, McKelvin), and they HAVE to get an OT with one of their first two picks. I like the rest of the mock, though.

Chargerz Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 If Jenkins, Jackson, and Ayers are indeed already picked, then Maualuga (as you've suggested) or Jerry would be my guesses for the Bolts. This mock is very possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziachild007 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I dont think the Texans go LB, especially after signing June. I am thinking more along the lines of a CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This mock is very possible. How about AJ trading with the Eagles that includes Sheldon Brown? They get there guy in KnowMO, we get a CB and picks? Nah...AJ wouldn't do that for a 30yr old would he?

Almost everything I've seen has them going LB, so I drank the Kool-Aid...even though I never considered LB a big need. They have four guys who can play -- Adibi waiting in the wings, Diles played well last year, and June could be a solid backup at both OLB spots (if Adibi doesn't have a good offseason). CB might even be better value at their draft spot. I think Darius Butler would be a very solid pick there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember that Cato June is a small linebacker (6-0 227). He played safety in college and for all we know they may have him play SS. the year is long and many decisions still to make.

I respect everyone too, but it doesn't mean I am going to believe everything that they do. I think it's better to have an objective point of view. It has nothing to do with respect. How many Eagles picks have their fans got right for you over the years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is as much a matter of who we want our homer teams to pick but rather being a bit more in tune with what they may actually do than the average fan. There are certain guys around here you look to when you want to get a bit closer to the pulse of a certain team. Zia= Houston Rajun= New Orleans Rovers=Jets On and on. If you hang around here long enough I will be surprised if you don't start seeking some of these guys opinions when you do your mocks in years to come.

I get that some fans are more in-tune with their teams than others. But fans can get attached to a certain player and I don't pit much value in that.
