Re: NSBB mock draft 2009

[Andy]

Well, as much as I'd like to take a QB here, I think Carolina moves to replace recently-released Ken Lucas. So Carolina chooses CB Cary Harris from USC.

 

Dew, you and Skyballer are on the clock with the Giants.

[dew1679666265]

And, with Skyballer's blessing, I'll announce the Giants' pick.

 

New York needs help in the secondary and with depth on the offensive line and there's a pretty solid guard still sitting on the board here.

 

So, the Giants select guard Kraig Urbik from Wisconsin.

 

CCP and Exile are now on the clock with the Colts' pick. I'll PM them.

[CubColtPacer]

I'll give Exile a few hours like last time to chime in.

 

Would you agree Exile that the Colts almost have to select DT at this spot? And which one/two would you recommend if you do agree with that? If there was a much better player at LB, OL, or WR, I'd consider them, but unless I'm missing something I don't see anybody that I'm dying to have at those positions.

[dew1679666265]

If you're looking DT, it'd be incredibly hard to pass up on Sen'Derrick Marks at this point, I'd think.

Sorry, I forgot we might be up today.

 

I think it has to be a DT with this pick (especially with the way this draft has gone). I also think dew is correct and that pretty much means Sen'Derrick Marks at this point. He may not be exactly ideal, but he's a good player who would instantly help. I'd go Marks.

The only other one I considered was Gilbert because he has production, he's from a small school, and he's small. Those of course are all things the Colts love. I do think the Colts are actually looking for one DT with decent size though and so their typical player might not be the best pick in this spot.

 

With that said, the Colts select Sen'Derrick Marks from Auburn.

[dew1679666265]

I was really torn with this decision. I never dreamed Keenan Lewis and Mike Mickens would fall to this spot, so I hadn't strongly considered either for the Titans until recently. So that made my decision with this pick that much more difficult. That said, I really like this player and think he'd fight the Titans defensive system well with some development.

 

So, the Titans select OLB Marcus Freeman from Ohio State. Freeman is very fast and athletic, has a big enough frame to bulk up a bit more and is a tough linebacker. He needs to get a bit stronger and bigger and learn to shed blocks better, but he's solid in coverage and makes an exceptional special teams player. He'll do well adding depth to the roster and developing behind Bulluck and Thornton.

 

Flames and CubFanNotBudMan are now on the clock with Arizona's pick. I'll PM them.

[Guest]

I really like Sen'Derrick Marks at this point - he's my #2 DT after BJ Raji. Great value.

[WrigleyField 22]

Hell yes to quick picks.

[Flames24Rulz]

After losing Antonio Smith in free agency, the Cards need an end to compliment Darnell Dockett on the line. Arizona had pretty good success with a draft pick from Richmond last year, so let's see if they have success with another draft pick from the champions of I-AA football. With the 60th pick of the draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Lawrence Sidbury.

[dew1679666265]

Hell yes to quick picks.

 

I love it. Let's see if AI and the Steelers can keep it up.

 

I'll PM him.

[dew1679666265]

No sign of AI after a little over 24 hours, so I'll make the pick for him, I guess.

 

The Steelers addressed their offensive line depth/youth with the first round pick, so with this one they should probably get a little younger on the defensive line. They've got a trio of great D-linemen, but they're all getting rather old.

 

So, the Steelers select DT Fili Moala from USC. Moala's motor has been questioned, but he's worth a shot at the end of the second round. He's probably closer to an early 2nd value and there's not a lot else on the Dline besides him. In Pitt's 3-4 defense, he could potentially play either DT or DE, whichever they feel he fits more appropriately.

 

Cro Magnon and the Lions are now up to begin the third round. I PMd him.

[sneakypower]

ROUND 3

1. Detroit: Eric Wood, OL, Louisville

 

because our Guards are atrocious

[dew1679666265]

Nice pick.

 

reggiemiller rules is now on the clock for the Rams and I PMd him.

[reggiemiller rules]

The Rams need some help at safety and offensive line, but I dont really see any lineman i like more than Patrick Chung. So the Rams take safety Patrick Chung from Oregon.

[dew1679666265]

Handlebar and the Chiefs are now on the clock. I PMd him.

[Guest]

I know I'm not up for a couple picks but I really have no idea what to pick so any help would be more than welcome (mainly on top players still available).

[Handlebar McSkullet]

KC Selects: Troy Kropog OT Tulane

[dew1679666265]

I know I'm not up for a couple picks but I really have no idea what to pick so any help would be more than welcome (mainly on top players still available).

 

Here are a few of the top players at each spot:

 

QB: Rhett Bomar (Sam Houston St), Nate Davis (Ball St), Graham Harrell (TTU)

RB: Donald Brown (UConn), Shonn Greene (Iowa), Javon Ringer (MSU), James Davis (Clem)

WR: Brandon Tate (UNC), Juaquin Iglesias (OU), Kevin Ogletree (UVA), Mohammed Mossaquoi (UGA)

TE: Shawn Nelson (SMU), Chase Coffman (Mizzou), Travis Beckum (Wisc)

OG: Herman Johnson (LSU), Trevor Canfield (Cincy), Louis Vazquez (TTU)

OT: Gerald Cadogan (PSU), Fenuki Tupou (Oreg)

C: Jonathan Luigs (Ark), Antoine Caldwell (Bama), AQ Shipley (PSU)

DE: Paul Kruger (Utah), Matt Shaughnessy (Wisc), Brandon Williams (TTU)

DT: Chris Baker (Hamp), Ricky Jean-Francois (LSU), Terrance Taylor (UM), Dorrell Scott (Clem)

OLB: Jonathan Casillas (Wisc), Tyrone McKenzie (USF), Gerald McRath (USM)

ILB: Darry Beckwith (LSU), Dannell Ellerbee (UGA), Worrell Williams (Cal)

CB: Keenan Lewis (Or St), Mike Mickens (Cincy), Coye Francies (SJSU)

S: Chip Vaughn (WF), David Bruton (ND), Michael Hamlin (Clem)

 

Running back, corner, center and guard are probably the strongest, deepest spots right now. Receiver is a little top heavy, but lacking depth. QB is a big question mark after Bomar.

 

OT is weak at best, tight end is solid, DE is ok, DT is decently deep and OLB is pretty good. I like the ILBs left, but that could be my SEC bias. Safety I'm not real sure about - don't know much about the guys left.

 

For the Raiders, I'd probably look at interior offensive line or corner. Hope that helps.

[dew1679666265]

mhuber and Seattle are now on the clock. I PMd him.

[Guest]

Thanks, dew.

[dew1679666265]

Not a problem.

Herman Johnson and Jonathan Luigs are the best player still available, imo, if you want interior OL. The corners are nothing to write home about.

 

And WR and RB is the best position right now looking at that list.

I like Luigs and Johnson a lot too. I do like the corners, however. Mickens, I think, has a chance to be a second round pick - as does Lewis. Francies is an interesting player with character issues.

 

Running back is definitely strong and I like the top couple of WRs (Tate and Iglesias), but am a little iffy on Ogletree and Mossaquoi. Both are talented, but both have consistency issues.

I like Mickens, I think he'd be a good fit for a team needing depth at that position.
