Detriot - Jason Smith OT - Rumors have it that despite Stafford's solid Pro-Day, the Lions are planning to take an O-Linemen with their 1st overall pick. Although Eugene Monroe is more polished and more NFL Ready, Jason Smith has the greatest potential and he should be near elite status by the time the Lions are back in contention for the playoffs.
St. Louis - Eugene Monroe OT - The Rams are almost certainly going to pick an O-Linemen with their 1st round pick with Orlando Pace getting cut. With Smith off the board. Monroe is the next clear choice.
Kansas City - Aaron Curry OLB - Although Crabtree may be tempting here, his health issues may scare teams away...in addition, the Chiefs have been a defensive laughingstock for the past couple years, and drafting Curry would instantly bolster that wailing Def.
Seattle - Michael Crabtree WR - Even with the addition of Houshmandzadeh, the Seahawks are reportedly still looking for an offensive playmaker. Crabtree would fit that and would make the Seahawks instant favorites to once again dominate the NFC West.
Cleveland - BJ Raji DT - The Browns's run Def is flat out terrible. Adding a big body to the middle will help that immediately, and Raji is the only elite DT in this draft.
Cincinatti - Brian Orakpo DE - The Bengals desperately need a OT to protect Carson Palmer, so a trade down here may be within sight. However, with Smith and Monroe off the board, Orakpo may help them with their pass rush.
Oakland - Percy Harvins WR - As long as Davis is here, flashy speedy guys will always be the pick. Harvins was a track star and with a fast 40 time, he looks like the pick here.
Jacksonville - Matthew Stafford QB - People in Jacksonville will be jumping up and down for this pick. Garrard has never been above average, so the best QB dropping down to the Jaguars makes this pick a no-brainer.
Green Bay - Malcom Jenkins CB - His Pro Day helped his stock slightly, and the ailing Packers Def will gladly welcome the shut down CB/
San Fransisco - Michael Oher OT - The 49ers desperately need an OT here. Seattle, a team whose pass rush literally died last year, got almost 1/3 of its sacks in 2 games against the 49ers. Not a good sign...
Tune in for the rest of the picks...3/23/09

Hey, glad to see your blog back and running again this year.
ReplyDeleteHmm...as a Lions fan, I would like to see us pick our QB of the future, but like u said, the rumors around here is that an OT is highly likely.
Do you think Josh Freeman will fall to us at #20 if we draft an OT?
