HBT NFL Mock Draft '09

[Danek]

It's a toss-up between taking a wideout to replace Holt and getting more help to shore up the defense. But after some deliberation, with the third pick in the 2nd round (35th overall), the St Louis Rams select Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Time for a group pick for the Browns. They picked up Orakpo earlier who will slide to OLB in Mangini's 3-4. They could use another option at RB, a TE to fill the loss of Winslow, a WR and a CB.

I'm thinking CB with either Darius Butler, Sean Smith or DJ Moore.

If they need another LB then Barwin is a great option here as well.

I vote Lesean McCoy for a RB or Darius Butler

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Donald Brown is an option at RB as well. He has been rising on most teams' boards since he pro day.

I've seen him creeping in the the late 1st in some revised mocks.

 

[CBBaron]

Browns have alot of needs.
CB, WR, TE, RB

With the recent news about Stallworth WR may be pressing and Robiskie is a hometown player. Wouldn't be surprised to see them go here.

However CB has been a weakness and Darius Butler is still available. I think this is the best pick for the team.

However several good RBs are still available and Jamal is getting old so McCoy or Brown could go.

My vote is Butler

Hopefully bird will weigh in shortly and we can get this pick made before I head out the door in about 45 minutes.

Again, I'll try to keep this thing chugging along the best that I can over the weekend, but expect delays. We need to pick the pace up a little bit to be done by the 25th.

Honestly, I don't have a good sense of what the Browns are looking for. Aren't there supposed to be a lot of good TEs available in this range, though? I think only one's come off the board so far, though. But, that's a bit of a lower priority in general. I'd probably go with Butler; he sounds like a pretty solid prospect to shore up the secondary.

I think the browns like their TE but he is not a star like Winslow is/could be. And they no longer have much depth there. But I don't think they will pick high for a TE given the other more pressing needs and good prospects available to fill them. Really I could see any of 4 or 5 choices they could make here but Butler is probably the best.

[ohiobrewtus]

Darius Butler it is.

cuinrearview is now on the clock for the Seahawks.

 

[the_bird]

They should go for Pat White. Can you imagine how much fun it would be to draw up plays with Pat White and Seneca Wallace on the field together? Hell, sign Matt Jones while you're at it, just load up the the gills with QB/WRs. I'LL SHOW YOU A ******* WILDCAT OFFENSE!

(joking, of course).

 

[ohiobrewtus]

The Seahawks (cuinrearview) have selected Patrick Chung, S - Oregon.

 

[CBBaron]

The Bengals will select Alex Mack Center from California.
Cincinnati needs some help on the line especially given the big nose tackles in the AFC North. Mack is a big athletic center that should be an improvement.

Yea, I've picked 2 OL for Cincy but they need them and I think they are good values. However I'm guessing Cincy fans won't be as lucky in the real draft.

I dont think they can afford another season ender for Palmer they definatley need OL.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

very good selection for the Bengals.

schweaty is now on the clock for the Jaguars.

 

[the_bird]

Huh.

Not draft related, but the Titans just signed Patrick Ramsey.

Ramsey's not very good, but he's not a third-stringer, is he?

Is Vince Young on his way out of town/the League?

Hey 'brewtus - bet the Lions could pick him up cheap!

Isn't V.Young in a mental home or something?

 

[schweaty]

With the 39th pick, the Jacksonville Jaguars take RB Donald Brown, UConn.

After losing Fred Taylor in free agency they need someone to back up MJD. I was thinking OL, LB or QB here but all the good ones were taken.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Eriktlupus is now on the clock for the Raiders.

 

[eriktlupus]

with the 40th pick the oakland raiders take QB/WR Pat White from west virginia.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

We're all selecting for Dude and the Packers.

My vote is for Robert Ayers, DE from Tennessee here, they need defensive line help.

 

[hokster]

I agree with Ayers...he's also a potential mid to late first rounder, so there's a lot of value in that selection at this point.

 

[CBBaron]

Looks like GB needs defensive front and Ayers appears to be the best available.

Sounds like a good pick to me.

Craig

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Green Bay selects Robert Ayers, DE - Tennessee.

BuffaloSabresBrewer is now on the clock for the Bills.

 

[ohiobrewtus]

We'll give BSB until the morning to make his pick.

Looks like Buffalo is a no show.

If we are voting Michael Johnson looks like a decent choice. The Bills need a DE and he looks pretty impressive.

Already taken.

12. Denver Broncos - Michael Johnson, DE - Georgia Tech (RICLARK)


Jarron Gilbert, Sen'Derrick Marks and Fili Moala are all solid options here, as is Connor Barwin. Depending on what happens with Jason Peters, they could also look at an OT here.

My vote is for Jarron Gilbert, DE/DT - San Jose State

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Eh, we need to get this thing rolling so that we're done in 17 days. The Bills select Jarron Gilbert, DE/DT - San Jose State.

neko is now on the clock for the 49'ers.

Whoops, didn't look far enough back in our mock.

I was hoping for Gilbert to fall to the end of the round but i guess that was wishful thinking

[neko]

Keep this thing going...Louis Delmas the safety from W Michigan for the Niners

 

[ohiobrewtus]

Great pick, neko.

Limited Visibility is now on the clock for the Dolphins.
