Re: [OFFICIAL] 2009 NFL Draft Thread

Is this the weirdest year for draft day talk ever? ESPN talks about the same 4 guys for hours, NFL network is doing a better job, but no one has any substantial information its all b.s. right now. Tomorrow is going to be fun!

Not that into this year's Draft...
In the past 3 Drafts, they were exciting... And tomorrow I am skipping the Draft party to enjoy the beautiful 80s weather outside!

Not a true football fan i see ::facepalm::

I rather play football outside!

My one and only hope is that Jeremy Maclin is not taken by the Raiders. I went to high school with his brother, watched him play at MU and am already getting my player collection of him in high gear. I was hoping he would go to a team with a better market, better looking jerseys and more enjoyable to watch. I hate the Raiders and even with all their high draft picks lately I don't see them being too good.

If mock Drafts and predictions are right
we might have 3 players available at #32! Unless we trade up which I dont see happening

Max Unger OL
Alex Mack C
Darius Butler -CB

We shall see what Tomlin is thinking tomorrow night

I read somewhere that Percy Harvin could end up a Steeler. As a fan I am like draft O-line! But as a collector Harvin would be cool. I don't really see it happening, they got Holmes but with an aging Ward and an underacheiving Sweed and with Washington gone it would kinda make sense. Not holding my breath though.

They will get a WR late if Any we still have Dallas Baker on the Roster
and for sure after a positive drug test Steelers WILL NOT DRAFT HARVIN (I hope)

I'm hearing crabtree may slip to the 49ers...Would be the best birthday present ever.

That is VERY possible
Too bad no one can throw the ball to him! :lol:

 

[Seiya]

i want malcolm jenkins or maualuga or wells for the chargers. cushing would be cool too.

 

[tenclubber]

That would be pretty sweet if Crabtree went to the 9ers

 

[tenclubber]

Everyone enjoy the draft! Cheers!

The Chiefs are going to trade down, not to mention work a deal for Anquan Boldin. I am very confident in this

I agree with Kiper saying they will take Tyson Jackson. Pioli loves LSU guys, and TJ already had experience in a 3-4.
Rumors abound that the Pats are trying to get into the top 10. I'd love to see that and grab an Orakpo or whoever else slips to the end of the top 10. Otherwise, I'd like to see one of the USC LBs, preferably Maualuga or Matthews, at 23, or Moreno or Brown if they are available.
Does anyone have any info on the 4th USC LB, Maiva (sp?)

Ask trojan43

Ask and you shall receive. Told Micah (Trojanfan) in March that Maiava will end up in the 4th to Oakland. Was pumped at least one scout agreed with me on the round (lolol)

7. KALUKA MAIAVA Southern California 5-11 1/2 229 4.70 3-4
Size limits him to the weak side in a 4-3. "He gets a quicker start on the ball than Maualuga," one scout said. "He's not a throw-out. He will be a backup-special teamer and you'll be glad to have him." Was the fourth starter in the Trojans' star-studded quartet of LBs. A one-year starter, he finished with 164 tackles (15½ for loss) and four turnover plays. "He may have the best instincts of them all," another scout said. "He gets overshadowed by the other three but he makes all the plays. His only downfall is height." Added Polian: "You love him, but he's very, very small. I don't know how long he will play."

Tedy Bruschi Jr :?: :shock:

Had to find a U of A alum for a comparison.

I wish I could find an actual scouting report of Bruschi when he left U of A, it'd probably have some similar parallels on size and doubts on longevity.

He could be a solid mid-round value that was overshadowed by depth (stuck behind the big 3 and Rivers the year before that I think). I never noticed him in the Pac-10 games I watched because the announcers were sticking to their Maualuga media notes and probably giving him the credit regardless of what happened. :lol:
