The NFL or National Football League is about to conduct their draft soon. Many of the top players from the college football season of 2008 will be among the highest possible canididates to get chosen. I love watching the NFL draft every year and Chris Berman does a great job from ESPN. There will be a new start time to the draft this year. Normally the first round gets started at noon on Saturday and this year’s 2009 NFL draft will start at 4 PM Eastern Time. It will begin on April 25th and many NFL fans may be tuning in at noon to watch the draft and see it’s not on. It will start at 4PM this year or 1PM for those living on the West Coast.
Here is a mock draft to this year’s 2009 NFL Draft:
1. Matthew Stafford – Detroit Lions
2. Jason Smith – Los Angeles Rams
3. Aaron Curry – Kansas City Chiefs
4. Michael Crabtree – Seattle Seahawks
5. Eugene Monroe – Cleveland Browns
6. Michael Oher – Cincinnati Bengals
7. B.J. Raji – Oakland Raiders
8. Aaron Maybin – Jacksonville Jaguars
9. Tyson Jackson – Green Bay Packers
10. Brian Orakpo – San Francisco 49ers
11. Malcolm Jenkins – Buffalo Bills
12. Chris Wells – Denver Broncos
13. Andre Smith – Washington Redskins
14. James Laurinaitis – New Orleans Saints
15. Knowshon Moreno – Houston Texans
16. Josh Freeman – San Diego Chargers
17. Mark Sanchez – New York Jets
18. Eben Britton – Denver Broncos
19. Rey Maualuga – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
20. Brian Cushing – Detroit Lions
21. Vontae Davis – Philadelphia Eagles
22. Jeremy Maclin - Minnesota Vikings
23. Robert Ayers – New England Patriots
24. Darius Heyward - Atlanta Falcons
25. Clay Matthews – Miami Dolphins
26. Peria Jerry – Baltimore Ravens
27. Darius Butler – Indianapolis Colts
28. Brandon Pettigrew – Philadelphia Eagles
29. Hakeem Nicks – New York Giants
30. Kenny Britt – Tennessee Titans
31. Eric Wood – Arizona Cardinals
32. Everette Brown – Pittsburgh Steelers
We should see the first round this year go about like that. I think there are several surprises in this year’s draft class. I think Mark Sanchez from USC will drop like a rock in the draft and I really don’t think he’s worth a first round pick for any NFL team. It should be interesting to see how it all unfolds on April 25th. Does this mock draft have a player going to your favorite team that you would like for them to draft? If so, there is a good chance you may just land that nugget in this year’s draft class. Maybe you didn’t like the player chosen in this NFL mock draft, but it’s not official until the 25th gets here, so still time for things to change.
