2009 mock drafts/rankings

[BubblesTheLion]

Are these ratings relative to the class or against the entire draft history?

I don't really keep up on USC but watching the Rose Bowl game yesterday I was impressed with Taylor Mays. He's a fucking giant and runs a 4.28, at least that's what I thought I heard them say.

I dunno where he'll go, though.

He does not run a 4.28 anyone giving a time under 4.4 is usually giving a stop watch time and those are never right.
Only legit times are electronic.

Well for what its worth he was clocked several times as the fastest player on USC's team. I'm guessing with all the five stars and studs they have that being the fastest player on THAT team makes you a pretty special player. You add in that he is tall and thick and you have a playmaker in the defensive secondary which is a term not used very often.

I look for Pittsburgh to select Shonn Green. A main weakness of theirs is short yardage situations (and goal line runs) in which they've blown several 4th and goals this season. Green would make an instant impact as a kind of "Baby Bettis" -- dude is almost impossible to drop behing the line.

Glenn, discuss?

As for the Lions, Bradford is the wrong choice. I'd go for Andre Smith and anchor that O line.

They've sucked on 4th down, no doubt, (worst in the league) but they have Gary Russell to fill that role, and he's more than capable. The problem with short yardage for the Steelers is the same problem they have overall, O-Line.

Why would Pittsburgh select Greene in the 1st rd? They just drafted Mendenhall last year in Rd 1...

[DennyMcLain]

They need a bruiser, but InternetSensationGlennDanzig is correct: they need to work on their O Line.

Once again, Glenn humbles me.

Mays staying in school. Bradford staying in school. Sanchez declares. Per ESPN.

Assuming he's still on the board, how would you feel about taking about the Lions not taking a QB with the first pick and instead taking an O-Lineman and taking Sanchez with the late first (if the new regime is looking to take a QB)? I don't really know a lot about him other than he seems to have all the "tools".

[WTFchris]

I have a hard time believing the Lions get two offensive players in the first.

I also don't think Sanchez will be there at 20.

49ers or Bears could grab him.
