Official 2009 NFL Draft Pre-Round 1 Thread
It's here!!!! It's finally here!!1!!!
Use this thread to post any news and comments of the day prior to the start of round 1. We'll start a new thread once the picks start rolling in. To get us started... the Lions have reportedly agreed to a monster contract with Matthew Stafford (6-yr, $41.7 million guaranteed, like $15M more than Mario) and appear ready to make him the #1 pick. So who's #2? And will Aaron Curry fall? (please oh please...) |
#2

Jets are interested in moving up to get Mark Sanchez per Sal P. on the worldwide.
They'd have to move up pretty far from #17. The Jags at #8 are desperate to move down, but Sanchez could go long before their pick now. He is the talk of the first round now. I think a lot will be told about this draft once Seattle makes their pick at #4. |

I still say Eugene Monroe at #2 and Curry will fall, perhaps all the way to #11. Perhaps, just to #4.

I to see Curry dropping because I dunno why any 3-4 team would want to take him when they have no idea if he can rush the passer ? |

So, why is anyone believing that you spend #3 money on Tyson Jackson? BJ Raji, I can see, but Tyson Jackson? Really?!?!

Another thing about the Chiefs, they're gonna have to make a 3-4 DE out of Glen Dorsey, who in spite of his less than steller rookie year is an outstanding 3-technique 4-3 DT. What a waste. |

Tyler Dunne, of BuffaloFootballReport.com, reports the Buffalo Bills are one of four to five teams that have expressed "considerable interest" in Wake Forest S Chip Vaughn, according to a league source. (He'll be gone by our 3rd rounder)

On another note, Deion Sanders and Marshall Faulk will be getting some nasty-grams from the Commisioner. Deion said that 30% of the league smokes pot and Marshall complimented Harvin by saying that he was like Wes Welker on Steroids. One might conclude that taking steroids would be a good way to improve your draft status - not the message the NFL wants to go along with "Keep Gym in School" and "Play 60" for America's youth.

At 6'2" Glenn Dorsey will be in trouble at DE. They might be better off, trying to add some mass to his frame and making him the NT.

The Jets are trying to move up to #8 and trade with the Jags. They could want Sanchez, Crabtee, or possibly Maclin or Harvin. Hmm...

I heard that there is talk about the Patriots being interested in Malcom Jenkins and may look to trade up to get him. If he slides past Green Bay they may look to move above either New Orleans at 14 or San Diego at 16.
Its a situation that I thought could play very well into the Texans favor if things play out a certain way. |

Just as long as they are interested in Jenkins and not Matthews.

To be honest with you... I'm fine with it either way. I do like Matthews and what he would bring to the table, but I also like the thought of adding Everette Brown, Aaron Maybin or Robert Ayers too. All of which could be available at #23 depending on how it shakes out.

I also like Maybin and Ayers as well and would not be upset with either. I'm a build in the trenches guy so based where we are sitting with the 15th pick, inside out is good with me.... Unless Mark Sanchez is somewhere in reach. |

I could get behind Maybin, especially if we garnered an extra 3rd round pick. The latest buzz was that Maybin was sliding, so perhaps we could still get him at #24.
However, I'd be a little upset if we got Ayers in the 1st round. I started a thread a couple of months ago discussing the idea of Ayers as a 1st round pick, but after signing Antonio Smith, I see it as a duplication of effort. In my estimation, Ayers is a LDE who will have a difficult time generating pass rush. His value is in being better against the run than many of the hybrid DE/OLBs like Maybin.

Just heard Mayock say that he has Everette Brown as a second round guy.... he also mentioned using Ayers as the Giants use Justin Tuck.

I was looking at SI's grading system. They are high on Everette Brown ranking him 6th overall.
