2009 NFL Draft: First-round mock (Fox Sports)
#2
Stardust Wrote:Fox has put out their listing. Based on this, they predict the Bengals would take Michael Crabtree from TTU. IMO, their needs are on both lines. I don't see how they can pass on Eugene Monroe OT from Virginia if he is still available. Levi Jones has come to the end of his career, and Anthony Collins just does not appear to have the strenght of quickness of an NFL Tackle. He would be best suited at a Guard position. Since the Tackle position is the most important protection point for the QB, we need to fill that hole. What are your thoughts on the potential order?

1. Detroit Lions — *Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma

The Lions are a team that has to rebuild with a new regime, and they will decide between an offensive tackle and a quarterback. It's a tough choice, but they select Bradford.

2. St. Louis Rams — Michael Oher, OT, Mississippi

The Rams could use an upgrade in their secondary, but with two of the premier offensive tackles on the board, it comes down to Oher or Smith. The pick is Oher.

3. Kansas City Chiefs — *Andre Smith, OT, Alabama

With Bradford off the board and not wanting to reach for a defender, this is a classic trade down point for the Chiefs. Either way, Smith comes off the board.

4. Seattle Seahawks — *Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia

With Matt Hasselbeck getting older and becoming more fragile, it's apparent that Seneca Wallace isn't the answer at quarterback. Stafford is the future in Seattle.

5. Cleveland Browns — Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State

Statistically speaking, the Browns are not that bad at creating INTs and against the pass, but they need a front line CB who is a game changer. Jenkins is the answer.

6. Cincinnati Bengals — *Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech

There is a chance that Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh are not in Cincinnati next year and with Crabtree being the best available, he's the pick.

7. Oakland Raiders — Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia

Disappointed that Crabtree is off the board, the Raiders could turn their attention to Jeremy Maclin. But protecting JaMarcus Russell is a must, and Monroe is a great fit.

8. Jacksonville Jaguars — *Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri

The Jaguars need a playmaker at wide receiver, and it's possible they could look at another position. But Maclin's dynamic skills are hard to pass up.

9. Green Bay Packers — *Everette Brown, DE, Florida State

The Packers were a disappointment, and they have to improve their pass rush. The selection of Brown provides Green Bay with a relentless defender with huge potential.

10. San Francisco 49ers — Rey Maualuga, LB, USC

The Niners could upgrade at many positions, including quarterback, but with Mike Singletary being the head coach and defense coming first, it will be hard to pass up Maualuga.

Can Sam Bradford go PRO this year. He is only a SO. I think the NFL rules you have to be 21 years or a jr in college, before you can go. I might not be right about that.
