NFL Mocks | Covering the 2009 NFL Draft

 The Seattle Seahawks draft was a success. They made many great moves to get the players they wanted and filled the team’s needs.  One of the biggest moves in the draft was the trade with the Denver Broncos. Where Seattle gave their 2nd round pick for Denver’s 1st round pick. Which if all goes well [...]

According to reports from the Associated Press, the New York Jets have reached a contractual agreement with rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez.
The Jets so coveted the Orange County Kid from USC that they moved into the top five in the draft to insure Sanchez would be the man to help wash the stench of Favre off [...]

It is impossible to grade an NFL draft less than 24 hours after its conclusion. As we all know, it takes a minimum of three years for the true value of a draft to be revealed.
Therefore, I’d like to take a different route in analyzing the “winners” and “losers” of the past weekend.
There will be [...]

7:37 PM: Mr. Irrelevant is…as “Final Countdown” blares…can’t pronounce the name…has to call…Ryan Succop, kicker! Twitpic! And with that I am finally out. It’s been fun, see you next year…
7:29 PM: So, Jon Gruden and Tim Tebow in 2010, Mayock? And Mr. Irrlevant is…drumroll…
7:27 PM: Rutgers player just went. I know because the crowd broke [...]

The Steelers began the defense of their sixth Lombardi trophy by picking Missouri defensive tackle Evander Hood with the 32nd and final pick of round one.
Hood is the third DT to come off the board in round one behind B.J. Raji and Peria Jerry. It seems like no matter where they pick, the Steelers always [...]

The Arizona Cardinals appear to have officially closed the door on the Edgerrin James era. With the 31st pick of the first round, the defending NFC champs selected Ohio State running back Chris “Beanie” Wells.
Wells was the third running back selected in round one despite being seen as the top back in the draft by [...]

In the weeks leading up to draft day, every fan has their teams draft strategy planned out. What positions are needed, who they like at those positions, and their sleepers. So that is exactly what I am going to do. The St. Louis Rams are in desperate [...]

I’m opening myself up to severe criticism, but I don’t mind. Why any writer, reporter or blogger even bothers to forecast what the Eagles will do draft weekend is a mystery. It really is a futile task. Only a select few members of the front office hold the [...]

“The Detroit Lions are now on the clock….”
We’ll be hearing those words in a matter of days. This weekend the NFL will hold its annual entry draft at the historic Radio City Music Hall in New York City. There won’t be a chorus line, but there will be a line of athletes waiting to [...]

I will be the first person to tell you that I think Josh Freeman is overrated. The Kansas State quarterback was never even mentioned among the greatest quarterbacks in college football, but now teams are considering burning a first round pick on him.
It’s incredible that a guy like Freeman went from 6 TDs, 15 INTs [...]

Before I start this article I want to clarify that I like Mark Sanchez. The former USC quarterback hasn’t ever done anything to get on my disliked players list, but his latest decision has me questioning his confidence.
I’m pretty sure that throughout his USC career the one thing Sanchez did have more than anything was [...]

1. LB Aaron Curry: There’s no doubt that he has asserted himself as the top player in this draft. His workouts at the combine showed his strength and athleticism. There’s no way he falls farther than third.
2. WR Michael Crabtree: I’ve been higher on Crabtree than most since he entered college. I feel like he [...]

Don’t be surprised if the stands of Big 12 football games are silent in 2009. Aside from the student section, the rest of the stadiums will be filled with NFL scouts.
In 2010, the Big 12 is going to be one stop shopping for your mock draft. No less than six of the top ten prospects [...]

The NFL Draft is quickly approaching and so is the NFL Draft combine, which will cause prospects to move up and down this mock draft like crazy. For today I decided to take more time focusing on the top 10 than anything else.
If your team doesn’t draft in the top 10 and you’d like to [...]

Andre Smith was a dominant force from the minute he stepped on the field at Bryant Denney Stadium for his first game in an Alabama Crimson Tide uniform.
Everyone knew he would be.
By all means he was an offensive lineman, yes an offensive lineman, that won Alabama’s Mr. Football honor coming out of high school. Did [...]

Living in the Tuscaloosa area, I have been asked this question many times. Is John Paker Wilson a NFL caliber quarterback?
Every time I hear the question I shake my head in response and I hear scoffs and small chuckles behind me. Wilson was not even a great quarterback at the University of Alabama until this [...]

1. QB Pat White – This kid is special. He’s like a mini-Michael Vick with Barry Sanders’ humility. Great kid, even better player. That being said, I’m still not sure he’s an every-down quarterback. What I’m sure he is is Kordell “Slash” Stewart on steroids. I can see him playing receiver in the slot, playing [...]

Mark Sanchez has less than 48 hours to decide his NFL future, but he still doesn’t know whether he will leave USC or stay to try to win a collegiate national championship.
After playing his best game in the Rose Bowl the decision probably got a little bit harder than he first thought it would be. [...]
