Re: NSBB mock draft 2009

[dew1679666265]

No sign of mhuber for 24 hours, so I guess I'll make another pick.

 

The Seahawks have next to no depth on the interior of the offensive line, so guard will be the pick here. Louis Vasquez is probably the best guard left on the board, but I'm afraid he's too much of a road grader and nothing else - and thus not a good fit for Seattle's offense.

 

So, the Seahawks select the next best guard on the board, Cornelius Lewis from Tennessee State. Lewis is still strong, but much more quick and agile. He's also got some good upside and potential.

 

Rocket and the Bengals are now on the clock. I'll PM him.

 

Sorry fellas...I appreciate Dew picking up my slack.

 

What'd you think of the pick, if you're still around?

 

I had a tough time finding a good pick since I'm not extremely familiar with what the Seahawks will be doing under Mora.

 

It works. We need depth your right, but Ruskell usually throws curveballs in there. I actually was going to pick Chase Daniels

 

That'd definitely be a curveball. Daniels is interesting, though.

[mhuber92211]

Daniels fits in a short passing cerebral offense like the Seahawks version of the west coast

[WrigleyField 22]

Well I won't pretend to be an expert, but Seth Olsen (Iowa) and Xavier Fulton (Illinois) are both good T/G prospects left. Not sure there are any pure guards worth the pick.

 

Defensively, I like:

Dorell Scott, DT

Scott McKillop, ILB

Courtney Greene, S/DB

Darcel McBath, S

 

 

Hopefully that gives you a good idea. Value wise, I'll say McKillop is your best bet, but I'm not sure who you have at ILB.

[dew1679666265]

I'm up next after Raisin and like the third round, have absolutely no idea who to pick so suggestions would be helpful.

 

I've gone WR, OT and CB thus far.

What are some Raiders needs? Also what kind of defense do they run?

 

4-3 defense. Could probably use a guard but best player available would probably work as well.

 

Here's an updated list of the "best" players on the board:

 

QB: Graham Harrell (TTU), Hunter Cantwell (Lou), Curtis Painter (Pur), Stephen McGee (TAMU)

RB: Javon Ringer (MSU), James Davis (Clem), Rashad Jennings (Liberty), Andre Brown (NCST)

WR: Kevin Ogletree (UVA), Mohammed Mossaquoi (UGA), Taiquan Underwood (Rut)

TE: Shawn Nelson (SMU), James Casey (Rice), Cameron Morrah (Cal)

OG: Louis Vazquez (TTU), Tyronne Green (Aub)

OT: Xavier Fulton (Ill), Joel Bell (Furman), Ramon Foster (Tenn)

C: Edwin Williams (Mary), Alex Fletcher (Stan)

DE: Brandon Williams (TTU), David Veikune (Hawaii), Kyle Moore (USC)

DT: Alex Magee (Pur), Vance Walker (GT), Roy Miller (Tex)

OLB: Jonathan Casillas (Wisc), Tyrone McKenzie (USF), Zack Follett (Cal)

ILB: Dannell Ellerbee (UGA), Worrell Williams (Cal), Jasper Brinkley (SCar), Scott McKillop (Pitt)

CB: Brandon Underwood (Cincy), Captain Munnerlyn (SCar), Bradley Fletcher (Iowa)

S: Curtis Taylor (LSU), Derek Pegues (Miss St), Darcel McBath (TTU)

 

I think these players are still undrafted, but if anybody sees one that is. let me know and I'll fix it.

 

For the Raiders, I'd probably look at one of the two guards - Ramon Foster can also play some guard as well. Vazquez is a massive, powerful road grader who doesn't do much else. Green has some nice potential but is pretty raw. Foster has all the physical skills needed, but needs some refinement.

 

As for BPA, Ellerbee is up there, along with Ringer and probably Cantwell.

Thought I'd mention Scott's gone already.

I can see that. I like Daniels more than a lot of people do, though I prefer Cantwell and Harrell as pure QB prospects.

[TruffleShuffle]

one daniel, not multiple.

Jacksonville will take OT Xavier Fulton, Illinois.

I'm going to beat dew to the punch here...

 

Oakland will take OG Louis Vazquez, Texas Tech.

Bah, I go to another forum for a few minutes and you beat me to it. :D

 

Mark_R and Flames are now on the clock with Green Bay's pick. I have PM'd them.

[Flames24Rulz]

I like Curtis Taylor out of LSU here.

[dew1679666265]

To keep this moving along a bit, I'll go ahead and take Flames' pick since there's been no sign of Mark R in this thread.

 

So EhDubya and the Bills are now on the clock. I'll PM him.

[dew1679666265]

So much for keeping it moving. Oh well, I guess I'll go ahead with this pick as well.

 

The Bills need some depth help (and maybe a starter over Kawika Mitchell) at linebacker and this is probably a good time to go in that direction since the linebackers here are a pretty good value.

 

So, the Bills select OLB Tyrone McKenzie from South Florida.

 

jame.gumb and CubbieBum are now on the clock for San Francisco's pick. I'll PM them.

[jame.gumb]

With the 111th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers select...

 

Andre Brown, RB, NC State

 

http://media.scout.com/media/image/36/363345.jpg

 

We finally get our complement to Frank Gore. Brown's a big (6', 224 pounds) and athletic back to change the pace in Singletary's running offense. Pretty good hands too, and will make a nice check-down option for Shaun Hill. A very good value here, imo.

[weis21]

Andre Brown is from Greenville, NC and went to high school like a mile from where I'm sitting right now. The big knock on him is his health, but if he's right then he's a beast. Nice pick.

[dew1679666265]

rawaction is now on the clock with Houston's pick.

 

I PMd him.

[jame.gumb]

Thanks and I agree. If he's healthy, he'll make me forget about not picking Donald Brown in the 3rd.

Clay Matthews and Brian Cushing have apparently been informed that they did not test positive for banned substances.

 

The doctor who administers the NFL policy on performance-enhancing drugs told highly regarded USC linebackers Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews Jr. on Friday that neither tested positive for banned substances, including steroids, according to sources close to both players.

Houston takes Zach Follett. My bad.

Umm, he's not draft eligible (and I can't imagine him falling out of the first round when he is eligible next year).
