***Official 2009 NFL Draft Thread***

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Please don't draft either OT at #1. Rather have Stafford, warts and all, or even Curry. Figures they'd have #1 pick in such a weak draft class.

BTW, I just read Harvin may be in play @ 7. Please make that happen.

Love ya, Al.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I bet you are happy as shit that Millen isn't around to fuck this one up.

[IronMexican]

There is no fucking way the Raiders draft Harvin at 7. I'd be going absolutely crazy. Give me Monroe or Smith.

[EricB]

Jason Smith is going to the Rams at 2.

The Texans should move up and get one of the OT. If they could have a decent offensive line they could finally do something.

[dirk4mvp]

I wish these espn douchebags would stop hyping Heward-Bey. He needs to fall to 27.

[Dr. Gonzo]

There is no way they give anything up to move up. Their line will be okay next season. It's the second year of the ZBS and Duane Brown will have a year experience under his belt.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

What a fucked up system. Stafford signs a 6 year deal, $78 million total, $41.7 million guaranteed.

Rams are now on the clock.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Damn 78 million total. That's fucking ridiculous.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

The $78 million is just bullshit. It's the $42 million guaranteed that'll fuck them if he can't play.

[monosylab1k]

Throwing stupid money at a QB is still smarter than taking OL with the #1 overall pick. Good choice by the Lions :tu Now if they have been doing their homework, they can rebuild their line with their other 1st day picks.

[IronMexican]

I can't wait for a rookie cap to come into play. Of course then, every first round pick would feel they are worth the max rookie deal.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

No doubt he was the right pick in my mind. But god damn the rookie deals are outrageous. It's the market, though, so I can't get down on the Lions for giving it to him.

Curry is a very good LBer but giving him $30+ mil guaranteed would have been even stupider. He would have been the highest paid LBer in the game at the price it would have taken to sign him.

And didn't Jerry Jones start all this retarded rookie contract shit with Aikman?

[monosylab1k]

Also, Peter King reports there's some rumors that New England is trying to get a late top-10 pick from Green Bay or Jacksonville.

Seems like something that goes against what Belichick is all about, but it makes sense. This is the year everybody is trying desperately to get out of the top 10, so he might get in there for cheap. And Kraft has the money to afford signing a pick like that. Don't know if I like the idea all that much, but if a guy like Orakpo or Crabtree falls, it might be worth it.

[IronMexican]

The Pats are more interested in Tyson JAckson than Orakpo or Crabs. Orakpo has fallen to third as far as 3-4 LB players go, behind Maybin and Jackson.

[monosylab1k]

Jackson seems likely, but I don't know if he's a Belichick guy. Hasn't gotten much praise for his football IQ. I'd rather they stay out of the top 10 than go for Jackson, but I'd love to see them grab Orakpo or Crabtree.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Jackson may go as high as 3. Curry is going to drop out of the top 5 IMO.

[monosylab1k]

Then again, Tyson's dreads could be a factor, Belichick likes the dreads. Maroney, Meriweather, Mayo were his last 3 first round picks.

[IronMexican]

IF Curry is there at 7, the Raiders HAVE to draft him. They've been missing a SLB for so long now. I don't understand how the BPA can fall to 7, but I hope he does. And Curry could be worth a high price for a team who wants him.

[IronMexican]

Man, I am like so excited for the draft. I don't even know how I'm going to sleep tonight.

That would be a huge boost for the Raiders. If it happens, hopefully Al doesn't screw it up.

[IronMexican]

According to idiot bloggers, the Raiders want DHB at 7. I think it's more of people just labeling Al than actually having a good reason to draft him. But, if the Raiders do draft him at 7, just give me the gun. I wouldn't be able to take it. I'd be absolutely livid. Probably more pissed than that time they traded up for Fabian Washington.

[Spursfan092120]

No way Curry drops out of the top 5...dude is a beast..

A lot of mock drafts I've seen have the Raiders picking up Crabtree at 7.

[JamStone]

Sucks the Lions fell into the pressure of taking the QB at #1. There are a few QBs in next year's draft that I like just as much if not more than Stafford. One of the more pressing needs should have been addressed with the #1.

Hopefully, they go OT, DT, and ILB in whatever order with their next three picks in the top 65.

[IronMexican]

It just needs to be tomorrow already. I can't even sleep thinking about tomorrow.

[IronMexican]

Made me lol.

http://football.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/11868/20090424/kipers_wife_wanted_him_to_change_hair/

Mel Kiper's wife, Kim Kiper, handles just about everything regarded to her husband's work except scout players as part of their cottage NFL draft industry. Kim even cuts her Mel's famous hair.

“She tried to change it, and I said absolutely not,” says Mel.

The couple has been working together since 1989.

Kiper got into the business because he wanted to become an NFL scout and gave his reports to former Giants' GM Ernie Accorsi, who encouraged him to sell the information to fans.

damn davis to hell if that goes through.

[IronMexican]

I went to bed at hoping to wake up around 11. It's only 8.

[EricB]

Well Steven that being said, if that all goes according to plan than outside linebacker is what they need desperately.

Brian Cushing out of USC I think would fit in great.

Larry English POSSIBLY.

Aaron Curry? I don't know if hes worth trading up in the draft for but damn, he would be great with Okoye...

If there is one player in this draft trading up for, it's Curry.

[EricB]

Yeah I agree, but the Texans are usually pretty conservative trading wise, but Curry would turn the Texan's swiss cheese defense, into a good run defense.

First round OLB, second CB.

Shame they couldn't pick up the CB out of Alabama. IMO that kid has shut down capabilities.

Watch out for Sean Smith. He has a lot of potential. I'd love for the Raiders to draft him in the second.

[LeCrab]

Who's going to draft Michael Metree? I hope he lands with the Fish.

[IronMexican]

Per NFL Network: If the pick they want is there at 8, the JEts will trade up.


I am pretty sure it's Sanchez.

[IronMexican]

I honestly don't get the Clay Matthews hype.

[kcplayboi_26]

Come on Chiefs dont pass on Curry, geeeeez. And yea Clay Matthews is wack. Hes gonna get paid millions while my boy only gonna get minimum rookie deal and he ran the 4th fastest 40 time for linebackers, right behind Aaron Curry. Well see where he lands.

[IronMexican]

Man, I am nutting myself watching these Eugene Monroe highlights.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Man, I am nutting myself watching these Eugene Monroe highlights.

Monroe is a good tackle, but those knees are a worry.

Andre Smith is the best OT, and overall player IMO, in the draft. He's the only tackle who bent guys back last year.Of course, he's probably one of the biggest bust potentials because of his ten cent head. But the dude dominated on the field.

I don't like the other Smith at all.

[IronMexican]

2 hours away!

[IronMexican]

Hah. That 99' look back was great. The most pissed off fans(Eagles) got the best QB.

[IronMexican]

Bob McGinn, of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, reports Texas Tech WR Michael Crabtree left an unfavorable impression after visiting with the Oakland Raiders. "He came across as a little goofy and kind of arrogant," said an executive in personnel for the team. "Just a different guy."

[IronMexican]

Raiders shopping Burgess and Huff. Think Huff, Burgess, and the #40 overall pick could get it done? Maybe even a 2010 5th rounder.

For Boldin

[Horry For 3!]

I wonder how much the Jets gave up to move up to 5 to pick Sanchez.

[Horry For 3!]

Jets gave up 1st, 2nd, Kenyon Coleman, Brett Ratliff, Abram Elam for Sanchez

[Hank the Tank]

al davis is fucking stupid and needs to die.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

DHB almost as comical as Harvin.

Thanks, Al.

[IronMexican]

I'm on suicide watch

[samikeyp]

IMex....I like ya but...


lol Raiders

[Hank the Tank]

that fuckin ruined my day. how could al be so fuckin stupid...all the talent still on the board...fuckin dhb! ARGGG!!

fuck you al! fuck you!

i'm off to play a game thats violent as fuck. fuck this shit.

[IronMexican]

This day is ruined. The Lakers could win by 50, but it's still going to suck.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

And Monroe/Raji will go next.

I know your pain, RaiderFan.

[IronMexican]

No, you don't know this pain. This is the worst day ever. EVER

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

No, you don't know this pain. This is the worst day ever. EVER

I know it sucks, but really?

Mike Williams over Merriman and Ware ring a bell?

[IronMexican]

I'm done with the draft for this year.

[seth210]

I'm done with the draft for this year.the brightside is always having a really shitty raiders team to build up in madden dynasty mode :hat

[IronMexican]

I hear Crabtree's family dissed the Raiders. Not watching anymore, but that's what I hear.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

And the added bonus of Crabtree still playing in the Bay area.

Salt in the wound, though Crabtree and Singletary seem like a horrendous pairing.

[IronMexican]

I cant be a bitch about this. He's here, get used to it.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

Fuck you Al Davis!!!!!

[IronMexican]

Got to keep up the positivity.

[PixelPusher]

10. 49ers - Michael Crabree, WR Texas Tech

sweet.

[IronMexican]

Al Davis must have been jacking off about DHB though. At least trade down.

[200 miles]

Denver practically had Orakpo on their lap and instead of drafting a monstrous defensive end, they get arrogant assclown RB Moreno.
:bang:bang:bang

DEFENSE, not offense

[IronMexican]

I will have fun watching the Donkey's give up 500 yards of total offense next season.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

At least Crabtree ended up in Nor Cal, too bad it was with the 49ers.

[monosylab1k]

At this point I think Belichick is trading down just for the sake of making a trade. He's trying to set the record for most picks collected without actually drafting anybody.

[monosylab1k]

All your draft are belong to us when the Patriots have 25 picks in next year's draft.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

At least Crabtree ended up in Nor Cal, too bad it was with the 49ers.

Too bad they don't have anyone who can get him the ball.

[yavozerb]

10 -12 plays of pat white at QB with ricky and Ronnie behind should be fun to watch..

[Borosai]

At least the Bills addressed the lines: DE, C/G, G/T. Plus a CB/S. The never-ending rebuilding is in full effect.

[NewJerSpur]

Seahawks were solid.

[KidCongo]

New York Nicks.

[timvp]

The NFL draft should be a national holiday. WTF is the NBA doing.

[EricB]

Antoine Caldwell for the Texans!!!!

AWESOME pick. Great center out of Alabama was able to open good size holes for Glenn Coffee to be one of the better RBs in the SEC.


The GF says hes a stud, but she went to Alabama so shes biased :lol

[gaKNOW!blee]

Quan Cosby on the camera....got a call from a 409 area code. Isnt that Texas?

[Whisky Dog]

Anbody notice how many guys from small, non BCS schools have been going in the last couple of rounds? Seems like a shit load.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

At this point I think Belichick is trading down just for the sake of making a trade. He's trying to set the record for most picks collected without actually drafting anybody.

Their draft seemed weird to me. Lauranidis seemed like a perfect ILB to put next to Mayo and ultimately ensure Bruschi's worthless ass never touches the field again, but instead they take some safety from Oregon that's horrible in coverage when coverage from the safety position was a huge problem for them last year.

I still think the draft was an overall big success for them because they added depth at tackle and guard (which is even more important with Brady's knee), they drafted Darius Butler who once developed will be great paired with Wheatley and best of all got rid of Hobbs who I still wonder why was on the team so long.
