Jeff's Mock 1st RoundUpdated 04/23/2009 |
No. | Team | Name | Position | College |
1 | Matthew Stafford | QB | Georgia | |
Even with the new "meaner" looking logo the Lions still need help EVERYWHERE,
so they start with a new face to the franchise. |
||||
2 | Jason Smith | OT | Baylor | |
Smith & Monroe seem to have traded places. Either way, St Louie gets Orlando's replacement. |
||||
3 | Tyson Jackson | DE | LSU | |
I think this is too high, but Gil Brandt who knows wayyyyy more than me says
this is it. | ||||
4 | Eugene Monroe | OT | Virginia | |
They never did adequately replace Steve Hutchinson & Jones is getting a bit long in the tooth. |
||||
5 | Michael Crabtree | WR | Texas Tech | |
I had originally slated Crabtree as Seattle's pick, but since he falls to Cle,
they snatch him after trading Winslow & possibly Edwards too. |
||||
6 | Andre Smith | OT | Alabama | |
After successive injury-filled seasons, protecting Palmer is a must. |
||||
7 | Jeremy Maclin | WR | Missouri | |
Just speed baby. |
||||
8 | Mark Sanchez | QB | USC | |
Gerard is getting older & they want to give Sanchez a year or two before he's the starter. |
||||
9 | Bj Raji | DT | Boston College | |
I keep flopping between Raji & Orakpo, but I think if both are there, then Raji gets the call. |
||||
10 | Brian Orakpo | OLB | Texas | |
9ers can't believe Orakpo falls this far. |
||||
11 | Michael Oher | OT | Mississippi | |
After trading Peters, they NEED an offensive tackle. |
||||
12 | Aaron Curry | LB | Wake Forest | |
Let's see they've alienated (then traded) Cutler & Marshall's in trouble again.
My guess is they'll package 12 & 18 to move up for Sanchez. But if they stay here it'll be Curry. |
||||
13 | Everette Brown | DE/OLB | Fla State | |
Since they let Jason Taylor go, the skins need a pass rusher. |
||||
14 | Malcolm Jenkins | CB | Ohio State | |
The Saints cut McKenzie so they need a new cornerback. |
||||
15 | Rey Maualuga | LB | USC | |
Texans get the best middle linebacker in the draft. |
||||
16 | Hakeem Nicks | WR | North Carolina | |
Another weapon for Rivers. |
||||
17 | Josh Freeman | QB | Kansas St | |
It looks like they've "moved on" & won't want Favre back either. |
||||
18 | From Chicago |
Aaron Maybin | LB | LSU |
Maybin outside & Curry inside - wow what a set of linebackers. |
||||
19 | Peria Jerry | DT | Mississippi | |
What they need is a real quarterback, but there isn't one available here. |
||||
20 | From Dallas |
Eben Britton | OT | Arizona |
The Lions need an OT, whoomp - there it is. |
||||
21 | Chris "Beanie" Wells | RB | Ohio State | |
Westbrook is 30. |
||||
22 | Percy Harvin | WR | Florida | |
Still trying to replace Chris Carter. |
||||
23 | Brian Cushing | LB | USC | |
Another Belichick steal. |
||||
24 | Larry English | DE/OLB | Northern Illinois | |
Birds hope jump in competition level will be seamless. |
||||
25 | Darrius Heyward-Bey | WR | Maryland | |
Help for Pennington. |
||||
26 | James Laurinaitis | LB | Ohio State | |
Bart Scott's replacement. |
||||
27 | Clay Matthews | LB | USC | |
Defense, which a perrenial sore spot, gets some help. |
||||
28 | From Carolina Thru Phil. |
Brandon Pettigrew | TE | Oklahoma State |
Bills need a TE, so this just makes sense. |
||||
29 | Kenny Britt | WR | Rutgers | |
They need to replace Plaxico. |
||||
30 | Robert Ayres | DE | Tennessee | |
Ya, I know Haynesworth wasn't a DE, but they still need to retool the defensive line. |
||||
31 | It's 31 0 in hades |
Knowshon Moreno | RB | Georgia |
Is James "Edgin'" his way out? |
||||
32 | Alex Mack | C/G | California | |
More blockers for Big Ben. |
||||
Other possible 1st rounders include:
Evander "Ziggy" Hood, DT, Missouri; , Michael Johnson DE/OLB, Georgia Tech; & Donald Brown, RB, U Conn |
