Re: NSBB mock draft 2009

A run on offensive linemen starting up, it appears.

 

soccer10k and the Raiders are now on the clock. I PMd him.

[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.

 

 

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.

 

Yeah, that's a solid draft. Two of the top three players you selected are almost certain to be able to start immediately. Follett probably can as well and Johnson could compete for a starting job.

No idea who to pick. Suggestions?

 

I've gone WR, OT, CB, OG so far.

Sammie Lee Hill, DT, Stillman

 

He is a project, but has the size to play NT, but with great athleticism. Looks like a spot where Oakland could use a player.

 

I'll look and make a list of some other just BPA, if you'd like.

 

Edit-

Big Board:

WR- Mike Thomas

LB- Scott McKillop

RB- Cedric Peerman

CB- Christopher Owens

RB- Rashad Jennings

DL- Alex Magee

WR- Austin Collie

RB- Javon Ringer

WR- Patrick Turner

TE- Cameron Morrah

QB- Stephen McGee

TE- Richard Quinn

RB- Kory Sheets

DE- Kyle Moore

QB- John Parker Wilson

That works for me.

CCP and Exile are now on the clock for Indianapolis' pick.

 

I PMd CCP.

[CubColtPacer]

I'll let Exile jump in here but this is where the Colts could go just about anywhere. LB, offensive line, CB, DL are all good possibilities. I almost certainly would have wanted Casillas if he was still on the board, but he isn't. I'm likely leaning towards one player (although not feeling good about it) so I'll wait until about noon tomorrow for Exile.

[CubColtPacer]

No sign of Exile, so I'll make the pick.

 

The Colts might be changing their defense slightly this year. With the coaching change, it's up in the air. But until they confirm that they are, I will continue to draft players that they have liked for years now. As I said, Casillas would have been a great pick here. Instead, the Colts are going to go with another guy in his mold:

 

the Colts select Kaluka Maiava LB out of USC

 

Andy has been PM'd

[Andy]

Panthers take Robert Brewster, OT from Ball State. We have a good line but you can always use a little more reinforcement.

 

Dew's up.

[dew1679666265]

I've got an idea who I want to see the Giants select here, but I haven't heard anything from Skyballer yet. So, I'll give him a little while to see if he has time to make the pick - otherwise I'll do it myself.

 

I also haven't heard PCP's input for the Titans' pick yet anyway, so I'll wait a while for it too.

[Exile on Waveland]

No sign of Exile, so I'll make the pick.

Sorry, busy day at work. Good pick, though.

[dew1679666265]

Well, no word from Skyballer, so I guess I'll advance onward.

 

I have finally found a safety I feel good about selecting here for the Giants. That's the only need they have left, but I've been pushing it back since I haven't found any I and Skyballer liked at New York's pick. But now I have.

 

So, the Giants select S Courtney Greene from Rutgers. There are some questions surrounding Greene's development and his senior year wasn't particularly impressive, but his junior year was good enough for him to be considered a day one pick and he could be a steal here if his true talent level is closer to his junior season.

[dew1679666265]

The Titans here will finally address the wide receiver depth issue with a pick quite similar to last year's WR taken in the fourth round - Lavelle Hawkins. There are two corners here I looked seriously at, but both have enough drawbacks that I chose to wait on them a bit and this receiver has more upside than either corner.

 

So, the Titans select WR Demetrius Byrd from LSU. Byrd is a very talented receiver with quite a bit of upside. He's a bit of a boom or bust type of receiver, it seems, but has the athleticism to develop into a nice receiver - probably not a #1 type, but in the 2-3 range.

 

Flames and CFNBM are now on the clock for Arizona's pick. I will PM them.

AI is now on the clock for the Steelers' pick, by the way.

 

I PMd him.

Dew's up.

 

Bias ... I was hoping to get him in the 5th.

[AI]

The Steelers could use a return man/receiver to help. Thus, they select Mike Wallace, WR, Ole Miss.

Good pick and a steal at this point.

stuy119 is now on the clock for two Charger picks.

As much as I want to make a pick at a skill position and keep the SD offense clicking, I'm not going to. I'll stick with protecting the QB and shoring up a defense that kept them from winning a few games last year.

 

SD selects OT Alex Boone, Ohio State and CB Donald Washington, Ohio State.

[WrigleyField 22]

Ohio State fan?

[stuy119]

Ohio State fan?

 

Just the opposite. I hate Ohio State with every fiber of my body, but they were players that fit what I think SD should be doing to improve the team.

 

I wanted to pick Greg Carr from FSU (as a homer pick), but he didn't fit as well in that scenario.

[dew1679666265]

The Titans here will select a short, but fast and strong corner. With only three corners currently on the roster, it's a bit of a necessity to look there in the draft and finally there is a player worth the pick.

 

So, the Titans select CB Captain Munnerlyn from South Carolina. Besides having an awesome name, Munnerlyn has good strength for a corner, a decent vertical jump and solid speed. At just 5'9 he'll likely never be a true number 1 or 2 corner, but he can be a very good third corner playing in the slot. He also was very good at returning kicks in the SEC, so that gives the Titans options beyond Mark Jones.

 

CCP and Exile are now on the clock for the Colts' pick - the final of the fourth round. I'll PM them.
