2009 NFL Draft Thread

[Guest]

Giants with 6 picks out of 7 so far on offense.

Wow. I'd say Angelo scored again. There hasn't been 1 OLineman picked since he picked last. Only Phily left before the Bears pick again.

[Tracer Bullet]

unless I missed something, not a single OL picked between the Bears 2 picks, but a couple WRs and a couple TEs go. Good move, JA.

Maybe we should stop doubting him this draft. lol

hard habit to break. This seemingly came out of nowhere.

come on jerry, get one of the OL.

Philly takes a TE. Angelo can still have any OL he could have drafted with his last pick.

 

Touchdown!

Still got a bad feeling that JA thinks he did enough to the line thru free agency and will go elsewhere. But you still have 3 projected starters well over 30.

There is absolutely NO WAY he doesn't go OL here. NO WAY!

Great pick by the Eagles.

hm.

bahahahahahaha

[Tracer Bullet]

can those OL slip 35 more picks?

[Guest]

Wow.

I really have no issue with picking Freeman, but I'd still like to see them address the line with a player that may actually play one day.

What happened yesterday with the 2nd round pick trade?

[rawaction]

Freeman! Love Marcus Freeman. I would have taken him in the 4th. Another steal, IMO. Still don't understand ignoring OL consistently every damn year, though.

[Guest]

I like Freeman with this pick, but I'm absolutely speechless that he has not addressed the OL at this point.

[tfarks]

Grabbing a LB is not surprising in any way shape or form. I figured they would go S or LB next.

Has struggled with durability: torn knee ligaments and a subsequent staph infection forced him to redshirt the 2005 season. Had his knee scoped following the 2007 season for a possible torn meniscus. Struggled through the 2008 season with a recurring ankle sprain.

 

that's a whole lot of red flags.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Not a bad pick but the scouting report isn't great. Not very physical, bad at shedding blocks, not a great blitzer. Hopefully they are wrong.

Let's just say this ended up being a brilliant move. Shockingly brilliant.

what did they get in return and why so brilliant?

[rawaction]

If you would have told me the Bears would get Gilbert, Iglesias, Freeman, and Moore, I would have assumed that the Bears traded down and picked up 3 picks between 50 and 99. All are guys I thought would go in that range, except for Moore who I'd figured would go by 49. I think the Bears got 4 of the top 100 players in the draft. Which is great considering they got none of the top 40.

Two defensive linemen.

 

Round 3, Pick 4 (68) (From Seahawks) Jarron Gilbert DE 6'5" 288 San Jose State

Pick Analysis:The Bears look to beef up their interior with the selection of Gilbert. A bit of an underachiever, Gilbert has the size and athleticism to develop into a quality interior rusher. With Rod Marinelli as the team's defensive line coach, the Bears may hit on the "boom or bust" prospect.

 

Round 4, Pick 5 (105) (From Seahawks) Henry Melton DE 6'3" 260 Texas

Pick Analysis:He's an athlete with speed. He had an unbelievable pro day, running a 4.65 in the 40-yard dash. He came into Texas as a highly regarded running back before eventually transitioning to defensive end two years ago. He's got a great first move in the pass rush and really good explosion.

 

Melton is a project guy with huge upside.
