FOX Sports Releases Mock 2009 NFL Draft

Have at it.

 

Good list but disagree on Eagles taking Phil Loadholt at 28

 

Well, the Bears definitely need a DE that can rush the passer, but the last time I heard Michael Johnson's name mentioned, it was in reference to how he hadn't played hard throughout the season. If the Bears get this guy, he better not be another Michael Haynes.

I don't like Stafford's chances to be a good NFL QB, so No. 4 seems like a reach.

I think it's silly for perenially bad teams to take WRs so high. You don't build winning teams around receivers. The Bengals should not take Crabtree at 7.

Maclin to the Jaguars would be perfect, IMO. Teaming him and MJD would instantly transform one of the dullest offense in the NFL. Granted, that kind of goes against my WR theory above, but Maclin is also a great return guy, and the Jaguars are not nearly as moribund a franchise as the Bengals.

Harvin could do many of the same things for the Titans, assuming he can stay on the field.

 

There isn't much to like about the Lions, but I like the prediction of the Lions trading away some of their picks to get Laurinaitis from OSU at #20. The combination of Bradford and Laurinaitis really is a good start to a team that just needs a complete makeover.

 

They are right about the Steelers having a desperate need on the OL, but they are usually too stubborn to reach.

 

I'd rather the Seahawks took a lineman than a quarterback, but who knows.

 

Gotta disagree with the Seahawks pick, they have to take a receiver.

 

At No. 4? Well, that would be a great pick for the Cardinals, 49ers and Rams.

 

Are you referring to the wide receiver or OL suggestion?

I think they are fine at WR, if their guys can stay healthy.

 

Why not? Crabtree is worth it.

 

History says he's not. For a team like the Seahwaks, there are a lot more critical positions to fill. I don't like Stafford, but QB is better than receiver. If Hasselbeck is still hurting next year, a good WR won't make much difference. If I were the Seahawks, I'd try to shore up the running game (which would be best for whomever is QBing the team next year) with one of the top tackles, or maybe trade down and grab a RB.

 

Grab a RB and admit that the signing of Jones was a failure? I don't see them doing that. The OL would be a great pick, it is not a coincidence that the Seattle running game went south after the loss of Hutchinson. I just wonder if they are going to try Seneca out at QB for more than maybe 3 or 4 games.
