My Final Mock Draft

This is my final mock draft for 2009, as the draft is less than a day away. I'm too lazy to figure out any trades, which are sure to happen, especially with the popularity of Mark Sanchez. None the less, you'll find some surprises. I hope that all my picks are right, so I can brag to everyone about them on Monday.

Detroit Lions

Jason Smith, OT, Baylor

A cheaper option than Stafford, and they can learn from the Dolphins by starting with a LT.

St. Louis Rams

Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia

OT is a need with Orlando Pace gone.

Kansas City Chiefs

B.J. Raji, DT, Boston Collge

With new LB signings and trades, the Chiefs can fix their defensive line. Raji also has value than Jackson.

Seattle Seahawks

Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia

Seattle can trade this pick if a QB falls this far, but if not, Stafford can be taken and he can learn under Matt Hasselbeck.

Cleveland Browns

Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas

The Browns need a pass rush, have for a while, and Orakpo can deliver. Cleveland might trade down to teams interested in Sanchez.

Cincinati Bengals

Andre Smith, OT, Alabama

Palmer needs to stay healthy and off the ground in order to succeed, and this pick will fill a huge hole.

Oakland Raiders

Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech

JaMarcus Russell needs a target to stretch the field, and Crabtree is a weapon.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Aaron Curry, LB, Wake Forest

Curry has been doing everything right for the draft, accepting less money, inviting a cancer patient to the Draft, as well as being humble. The Jaguars could go OT or WR here, but Oher is a little of a stretch at this spot.

Green Bay Packers

Tyson Jackson, DE, Louisiana State

Arguably the best five technique DE in the draft, Jackson makes the transition to a 3-4 a little easier.

San Fransisco 49er's

Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss

The 49er's pick is really hard for me, as they could go with Oher, Everette Brown, or even Sanchez here.

Buffalo Bills

Everette Brown, DE, Florida State

With their offense set, the Bills target a pass-rush.

Denver Broncos

Mark Sanchez, QB, USC

Personally, I'd be torn with this pick. I'm an SC fan, but the Broncos need defense terribly. Josh McDaniels likes this guy, and if a team doesn't trade up to get him, he'll snag him in an instant.

Washington Redskins

Aaron Maybin, DE, Penn State

A pure pass rusher that fits alongside Haynesworth, but they'd rather have Sanchez or an OT.
Look for them to try and trade up for Sanchez.

New Orleans Saints

Malcom Jenkins, CB, Ohio State

The Saints need help in their secondary desperately, and get the best player to help them there.

Houston Texans

Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois

The Texans can use some help in the secondary, and with the best DEs off the board, Davis is the pick.

San Diego Chargers

Rey Maulaluga, LB, USC

The Chargers get an absolute force to be reckoned with at LB, which solidifies their defense.

New York Jets

Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri

With Coles gone, the Jets need a new No.1 wide out. Josh Freeman can be taken here as well, but is a bit of a stretch.
Look for them to try to grab Sanchez as well.

Denver Broncos

Brian Cushing, LB, USC

Alright, I might be a little bias with USC players going to the Broncos, but who isn't?
Defense is a big need, with one of the worst, and an OLB like Cushing can add another piece.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Robert Ayers, DE, Tennessee

With Leftwich signed, QB is no longer a need for this draft, and can be put on hold until next year.

Detroit Lions

Peria Jerry, DT, Ole Miss

With help on the offensive line, they will look to add to the defense, which could not stop the run at all last year.

Philadelphia Eagles

Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia

A great replacement/backup for Westbrook, and can split carries.

Minnesota Vikings

Alex Mack, C, Cal

Can't pass on the best center in the draft, especially when they just released Matt Birk.

New England Patriots

Connor Barwin, LB, Cincinnati

Connor can replace the traded Mike Vrabel, and add more terror into the Pat's linebacker corps.

Atlanta Falcons

Larry English, DE, Northern Illinois

A great prospect who can give the Falcons a little more push in their defense.

Miami Dolphins

Percy Harvin, WR, Florida

He gives the offense more explosion and just imagine how he can help in the Wildcat.

Baltimore Ravens

Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland

It gives Joe Flacco a No. 1 option to throw to.

Indianapolis Colts

Evander "Ziggy" Hood, DT, Missouri

After releasing Ed Johnson, the Colts need a replacement.

Buffalo Bills

Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State

With the signing of T.O., Pettigrew adds yet another offensive weapon.

New York Giants

Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina

This is a need, especially if Plaxico Burress does not return. The Giant's might also take Cal Poly's Ramses Barden later in the draft.

Tennessee Titans

Darius Butler, CB, Connecticut

The Titans need someone opposite Finnegan.

Arizona Cardinals

Chris "Beanie" Wells, RB, Ohio State

The Cards can pass. Now, they can run.

Pittsburgh Steelers

William Beatty, OT, Connecticut

The O-Line was a travesty last year, and gets a little help in the first round.
