Here’s a few quick NFL Draft links for your viewing pleasure! The NFL Fan Mock Draft will get resumed tomorrow. We had a little difficulty with the site for a few days.

Should the Bears draft Andre Smith? That’s what Kevin Allen of the Chicago Sun Times is wondering after the offensive tackle’s recent slide down draft boards. Smith is arguably the top talent in the draft, he’s just made too many mistakes to be drafted in the top ten.

Aaron Curry a sure top five pick after combine

nflmocks — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 16:20:50 +0000

The most impressive workout of any at the NFL scouting combine was that on Wake Forest’ Aaron Curry, who clearly established himself as a top ten pick and appears headed to a top five selection.

Curry ran a 4.56 40 yard dash and recorded a 37″ vertical leap, which were both tops among linebackers. Curry could even sneak into the #1 overall picture overall and give the Detroit Lions something to think about. If he doesn’t go there then chances are St. Louis and Kansas City aren’t going to let him drop too far.

Michael Crabtree's decision puzzling to some

Michael Crabtree has decided to wait until after his personal NFL tryout to have surgery on a stress fracture on his left foot. Or at least that was his intial decision, which he appears to now be re-thinking.

The former Texas Tech wide receiver’s first plan was to run his 40 yard dash for NFL scouts before having the surgery. To some, like ESPN’s Todd McShay that made no sense. Crabtree has two seasons of excellent video tape already assembled, meaning he doesn’t really need an impressive 40 yard dash time to raise his draft status.

Everyone is wondering what the Lions will do

It seems like everyone has a guess at what the Detroit Lions are going to do with their #1 pick in the NFL Draft. One of the most hilarious things I’ve read is this funny column about Michael Crabtree preparing himself to go to Detroit.

Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

Matthew Stafford, the strong armed QB from Georgia, appears to be the frontrunner (if there is one). If his statement on the Dan Patrick show didn’t win over Lions fans then nothing will. This article has the whole story but here’s the quote:

MockStock: QB Matthew Stafford

nflmocks — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 02:35:02 +0000

Our mockstock feature continues as the NFL Draft approaches. Today we look at Georgia QB Matthew Stafford and how NFL ready he appears to be.

Leadership: 9
Stafford likes to put his team on his shoulders, and he likes to make big plays. The problem is that his big play mentality also helps out the defense because a lot of times it fails.

Arm Strength: 10
He has a super arm. There’s not a lot of throws Stafford can’t make and that’s the reason he will likely be the #1 pick in this 1009 NFL Draft to the Lions. He likes to look down the field first and then come back through his reads to shorter throws.

MockStock: OT Andre Smith

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 I say he was an offensive line?

If you want to know how good Smith is, well that’s how good. And he was that good the entire time he was at Alabama. He started every game he wasn’t injured or suspended for (Utah).

MockStock: Michael Crabtree

I’ve been saying since the end of his freshman season that Michael Crabtree is a can’t miss NFL prospect. He was redshirted his first season, which is what allowed him to become NFL Draft eligible. He took advantage and decided to leave Texas Tech early.

I don’t blame him.

This guy can be the next Larry Fitzgerald. He isn’t as physically overpowering as Fitzgerald but he is a playmaker. He would automatically upgrade any offense. Graham Harrell’s disastrous performance at the Senior Bowl only makes Crabtree look better.

Let’s break him down: … [visit site to read more]
