***OFFICIAL 2009 NFL DRAFT*** (2 Viewers)

[ffldrew]

Looks like the Broncos started a run at the DB positition.

 

[facook]

Byrd CB to Buff.

SF - RUN to the podium!!

 

[Ariakis]

I hope Beatty or Williams lasts to Dallas although the 2 DE/OLB's are interesting. I suspect the Duke falls to the 3rd.

 

[HellToupee]

I hate you NEW ENGLAND!!!

 

[PatsWillWin]

I think someone could have made a lot of money prior to the season, or even any time during the season, betting that Clay Matthews would go ahead of Rey Maualuga.

That Crabtree would not be the first WR off the board would have pulled a lot more coin.

Not really. That was the least surprising bad pick in this draft.

"prior to the season, or even any time during the season"

Excuse me for not reading.

 

[Marc Levin]

Chung and Butler are real nice additions to the NE secondary.

That was their most obvious position of need last year. The Pats are putting on a clinic.

 

[Steve Tasker]

At least the Bills addressed those holes at OT and TE

 

[GroveDiesel]

So I guess the Bills have zero plans to keep McGee around long term. Either that or they think McKelvin is a bust. Awesome.

 

[AnonymousBob]

I will be very surprised if SF does not take Brown.

 

[PatsWillWin]

I give us. Seriously.

Now we know why NE traded up.

 

[PatsWillWin]

I will be very surprised if SF does not take Brown.

Likewise. I had them taking Orakpo if Crabtree wasn't there - they can still get a nice pass rusher this late, good deal.ETA: Apparently they traded their pick to CAR.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

and what a shock, Patriots load up with two more great players that fit perfectly into their system. How many years do we need to see the same blueprint.....trade down and get lots of picks between 35 and 50 and then just maneuver around to grab exactly the players that fit your system.Every year these guys do it and no other team (despite their huge success every year) follows suit. It's simply amazing.

This had to have been their plan all along, and they're very prepared to dominate Rounds 2 and 3. This year the draft is full of 2nd / 3rd tier talent, so this made total sense.The question is, is any other GM taking notes? Anyone? Several did make pre-draft moves (PHI, KC, CHI) but still........and then there is DEN and OAK.

 

[ROCKET]

Brace will platoon nicely with Vince and keep him fresh. They will still be looking to lock up Vince with a new deal and I don't think this has any bearing on that. The Chung and Butler picks upgrade the secondary, now for a LB and OL/WR/RB to round out the first 3 rounds.

 

[AnonymousBob]

I'm curious what SF got out of this deal...Brown would have been a great fit for us.

 

[ScottNorwood]

#### you, Bills.

It's like they're not even trying

 

[Pat Patriot]

I would expect the Pats to TRADE UP again with the #58 pick to get their OLB. They have 4 3rd round picks. I cant see them making all of those picks.

I would want this, but when you're predicting the Patriots to draft a Day 1 OLB, you're in uncharted water. I hope they get someone though.Another guy I wouldn't mind seeing is Shady as a quasi-Kevin Faulk replacement. Pretty old backfield.

I'm thinking now that the Pats could actually sit and go a number of ways with #58 depending on who is there. I would think the following would be on their radar with 15 picks before their next pick:William BeattyConnar BarwinPat WhiteWho else might they target?

 

[Marc Levin]

Is it me, or are there fewer DEs taken early this year than normal?

Maybe it is all the teams switching to 3-4?

 

[Bri]

exactly, there are 4 or 5 guys i would be ecstatic to see fall to them. They've done well so far. They'll get a 1st round talent at 33 easily...

they're doing real well

Could even stay on offense and get an o-lineman. Not a bad idea to get your franchise QB a receiver/blocker in Pettigrew and a solid G or C for the next 10 years.

3 OL I like from Oklahoma are still available

It's simply amazing.

The Colts have also been great at doing this over the last 10 years or so, consistently only selecting guys that fit their system, not getting drawn in by measurables and maneuvering up and down in the lower first and early second round. It's no coincidence that they have arguably been the two best teams in the league this decade.

Pat White - great call. He could be the second coming of Troy Brown

 

[Native]

WOW Carolina trades a #1 next year

 

[facook]

Hope they cleaned up. Brown would have been perfect.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Wow, 2nd and 4th from SF for 2010 1st from CAR.

Sorry, no. The Patriots are clearly #1. But the Steelers are #2, ahead of Indy at this point.

Check out CBS Sports, they will ahve the NFL Draft Count write-up, and it will be extensive.

 

[PatsWillWin]

Wow. Good trade for SF then.Also these "how the Navy is like the NFL" things are awful.

Panthers love dealing their !'s

Add Max Unger and Jarron Gilbert to the above list.

 

[AnonymousBob]

Wow, 2nd and 4th from SF for 2010 1st from CAR.

I'm not crazy about this move. It's not bad but we still have a lot of holes to fill.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Chad Henne just went "what?"

Never mind - he's a 'phin

 

[CrossEyed]

Pat White this early? Surprising.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Pat White is a pick.

 

[Mighty Mice]

Pat White AKA Seneca Wallace to the Dolphins. Wildcat!

 

[Native]

Pat White is a cool pick for the Dolphins. The Wildcat will not just be a gimick play this year, they will use it regularly in their offense..

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Pat White will he play QB for the Fish?

 

[David Dodds]

Wow, 2nd and 4th from SF for 2010 1st from CAR.

I figured it had to be a lot because I think SF would like to have Brown there. Good trade for the 49ers I think as Carolina could easily have a losing season.

 

[PatsWillWin]

Sanchez in White come into the AFC East...oh yeah and some guy named Terrell Owens. This is becoming a much more entertaining division.

Yeah, that's not great. 2nd this year are already = 1st next year...AND this year's 4th? When a guy most had as a 1st (Brown) was sitting there?Don't like it. SF grade just went from sure A to B-.

 

[metoo]

Nice pick.

 

[noneother]

Chad Henne just went "what?"

few more of us too

 

[Steve Tasker]

#### you, Bills.

It's like they're not even trying

Thank God I renewed those tickets. As long as fools like me keep pouring money into the franchise, they have no motive to get any better. But if I stop giving them money, they move to Toronto....

 

[Marc Levin]

Chad Henne just went "what?"

Nope - he didn't.Henne is clearly the #2 behind Pennie. White = QB4 playing a different position - think Slash/Randle-El

 

[munchkin]

The Patriots have been trying to fill the backup Nose Tackle position for a while now and the Titus Adams' of the world just haven't worked. They needed to protect themselves against a Wilfork injury or contract fiasco.Chung will be a good in the box safety and Butler will help to fill out the Cornerback depth.

Bills looking at another 0-6 season in the division.

[Sweetness_34]

Panthers gave up a 1st round pick next year for Everette Brown....wow.....teams must really hate their 1st rounders next year (and most experts think this year's draft is horrible compared to next years)
