Re: NSBB mock draft 2009

[stuy119]

stuy and the Chargers are now on the clock. I have PMd him.

 

San Diego selects Everson Griffen, DE, USC.

 

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

 

Yeah, I wasn't quite paying 100% attention and was looking at a different list of players. No wonder I was looking at the list wondering why he had not been chosen for 5 minutes.

 

San Diego selects Jasper Brinkley, LB, USC (east).

Mark Prior's Calves and Denver are now on the clock. I have PMd him.

[Mark Priors Calves]

Darcel McBath (TTU)

[dew1679666265]

jersey cubs fan and the Jets are now on the clock. I PMd him.

[jersey cubs fan]

I thought the NFL cancelled the draft after the Bears traded for Cutler.

 

Um, I have no idea, give me a little bit.

[jersey cubs fan]

anybody have any offensive line and/or cornerback suggestions?

[dew1679666265]

OGs: Tyronne Green (Aub), Roger Allen (Missouri Western St), Andy Kemp (Wisc), Greg Isdaner (WVU)

OTs: TJ Lang (EMU), Joel Bell (Furman), Lydon Murtha (Neb), Ramon Foster (Tenn)

 

CBs: Kevin Barnes (Mary), Captain Munnerlyn (SCar), Bradley Fletcher (Iowa)

Kevin Barnes

Kevin Barnes

 

Good pick. He was probably the best of the corners left on the board.

 

OMC and the Saints are now on the clock. I PMd him.

[OleMissCub]

Saints select Derek Pegues, S, Mississippi State

[dew1679666265]

Saints select Derek Pegues, S, Mississippi State

 

OMC taking the SEC guy, what a surprise. :D I like Pegues as well.

 

IMB and vance are now on the clock for Dallas' pick. I PMd them.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I think the Cowboys should select Cody Brown, LB UConn. (I don't think he's been picked, but I haven't the time right now to check.)

[dew1679666265]

I think the Cowboys should select Cody Brown, LB UConn. (I don't think he's been picked, but I haven't the time right now to check.)

 

Brown is still available.

Brown is still available.

 

Well, unless IMB has other ideas, I think he's a player the Cowboys could use.

[dew1679666265]

With just a couple hours left, I'll go ahead and take vance's pick and move on.

 

OMC and the Saints are now on the clock. I PMd him.

[dew1679666265]

No sign of OMC for well over 24 hours now, so I guess I'll make the pick here.

 

The Saints still need pretty major defensive help and their weakside linebackers aren't the greatest (Scott Shanle is decent and Dan Morgan's health is a major concern).

 

So, the Saints select LB Dannell Ellerbee from Georgia. Ellerbee can play inside or out and probably has the highest upside of any linebacker left on the board. He's had issues with injury and legality in the past, but his talent level makes him worth the selection here.

 

Raisin and company are now on the clock for Chicago's pick. I will PM them.

[Guest]

Brandon Williams, DE, Texas Tech

[weis21]

Assuming Raisin's pick is official for Chicago's entire war room, Tampa Bay selects:

 

Jason Williams, OLB, Western Illinois (apologies if he's already selected but I didn't catch his name glancing over the list a few times)

 

ETA: I PMed Truffle

[TruffleShuffle]

well i was going to pick a safety but for some reason everyone picked a safety in the 4th round. i will go with a guy who should be a good special teams player, and can provide some good speed on defense. jonathan casillas, olb, wisconsin.

 

i'll PM the next person up.

[rawaction]

Houston selects Mohammed Massaquoi- WR, Georgia.

[dew1679666265]

Houston selects Mohammed Massaquoi- WR, Georgia.

 

If Mossaquoi develops, that'd be a nice duo of Andre Johnson and Mohammed Mossaquoi for Shaub to throw to.

 

WrigleyField 22 and the Ravens are now on the clock. I PMd him.

[WrigleyField 22]

The Baltimore Ravens select:

Sebastian Vollmer, OT, Houston

[dew1679666265]

I'll go ahead and make the Patriots' pick.

 

The Pats still don't really have any needs, but youth on the offensive line is always good.

 

So, the Pats select some upside and a guy with versatility who can play guard or tackle. The Patriots select OL Ramon Foster from Tennessee. Foster is very big and quite strong, though he needs a fair amount of technique development. He's probably not ready to contribute in year one, but has the upside of a very good reserve or good starter.

 

Vanilla Ice and the Falcons are now on the clock. I PMd him.

[Vanilla Ice]

TJ Lang to provide some versatility on the offensive line

[rawaction]

Houston selects Mohammed Massaquoi- WR, Georgia.

 

If Mossaquoi develops, that'd be a nice duo of Andre Johnson and Mohammed Mossaquoi for Shaub to throw to.

 

 

I think I have had a pretty good draft, getting Vontae Davis, Rashad Johnson, Antoine Caldwell, Zac Follett and Massaquoi. If Cushing is off the board (and Houston loves him), then I think they would be happy with possibly the top CB, a top 2-3 FS, an OLB who can play right away and a WR with 3 years as a starter who still has some upside.
