NFL Mock Draft 2009: The Real Deal Express 4.0 (Mar. 30)

1. Detroit Lions Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia

Taking Smith will be tempting here but with the amount of money on the line the Lions will try to get the franchise QB they so desperately need and with the deep OT talent grab one later.

2. St. Louis Rams Jason Smith, LT, Baylor

With Orlando Pace moving on the Rams select the heir apparent in the athletic Smith to take over and solidify the O-line.

3. Kansas City Chiefs Eugene Monroe, LT, Virginia

After trading for Cassel and Vrabel, the Chiefs take Monroe to protect their new investment at QB and pass on Curry.

4. Seattle Seahawks Aaron Curry, OLB, Wake Forest

The Seahawks are ecstatic when Curry who is the best defensive player in the draft falls to them and they get their replacement for Julian Peterson who was recently traded.

5. Cleveland Browns Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas

The Browns were last in the NFL in sacks last season and land the best pass rushing DE in the athletic Orakpo.

6. Cincinnati Bengals B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College

The Bengals were terrible against the run in '08 and adding Raji will help the run defense as well as the pass rush.

7. Oakland Raiders Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech

Al Davis wets his pants when the best WR drops to him and adding Crabtree with Russel and McFadden will give the Raiders one of the best young offenses in the NFL.

8. Jacksonville Jaguars Mark Sanchez, QB, USC

Sanchez has been rocketing up the draft boards and is just to talented for the Jags to pass up even though they have other pressing needs.
