2009 NFL Mock Draft
Mocks and Predictions attempt to divide the Draft based on the top prospects and the reading of Tea leaves. Not here. We put ourselves in each team’s hypothetical “War Room” and contemplate what their needs are and how to address them. The Draft must be used to fill holes and improve the team both mentally and physically. A conscientious mindset should be used and is based on athleticism, intelligence and character. With this in mind, we’d like to introduce you to our 2009 NFL Draft Insight. Most of you will scoff at certain selections, but think long and hard before throwing up your arms and crying foul. For example: We have both quarterbacks ( Stafford and Sanchez) going outside of the top 9 picks. The reason for this is that neither quarterback is worth a top 9 pick. If Bradford, McCoy or Tebow had entered the draft, Stafford and Sanchez would be second day picks. Thus, it makes no sense to pay an individual big bucks when they aren’t deserving of it. Now, in no way shape or form are we saying these players aren’t any good. We’re just saying they’re not a good fit with a top 9 pick. Thank you for your consideration and enjoy our “Insight”.
