2009 Player Ratings

The players have not been scouted, the season has not been played, and yet here is my list of top players in the 2009 NFL Draft. Enjoy it if you can. I like the first 16 players in the draft, after that it is still a massive crap-shot.

1

Matthew Stafford-  6-4, 220         

QB

Georgia

Looks like the top player in the Draft to me.

9.5

2

Rey Maualaga-  6-3, 260, 4.5     

LB

USC

He was a better prospect then Rivers last year, and word out of Southern Cal is that he has been running sub-4.5s at 260 pounds. I maybe tainted by his GREAT play in 'SC Bowl Game last season, but is the top LB in the Draft at doing what the Patriots want their Off-The-Line linebackers to do, taking on O-Guards in the middle of the field. 

9.5

3

Michael Crabtree- 6-2, 220

WR

Texas Tech

High school wunderkind who has dominate Texas Tech schedule like he was still in high school. Has everything you want in a WR and more. T.T. goes on the TV watching schedule, trust me.

9.5

4

Fili Moala- 6-5, 300    

DT

USC

A Nose Tackle type who can actually rush the passer a little

9.5

5

Michael Johnson6-6, 255     

DE/OLB

Georgia Tech

Pass rushing tweener who needs to add weight, strength, stoutness verse the run. But he can sure get to the QB.

9.5

6

*Michael Oher- 6-6, 340

OLT

Mississippi

Oher will step right in at Left Tackle, though he may not be ready. He was the top high school linemen of his class. He has great feet, and can dance with any bear. Dominated verse LSU. Despite HUGE size can play low and gains leverage. He has the feet, size, and athleticism to play Left tackle in the NFL. When he is on, he destroys D-Linemen. His biggest negative is experience. Having only started two seasons in high school, and two seasons at Mississippi. 

9.5

7

Eugene Monroe-  6-5, 311

OLT

Virginia

Could move up, because he will work out like D'Brickashaw Furguson in predraft workouts. He is legitimate LT prospect. Looked like a giant on the field against lower level competition, and destroyed D-Ends in his Conference.

9.5

8

James Laurinaitis- 6'3, 245   

ILB

Ohio ST

Run around Inside Backer who makes a TON of Tackles, as Ohio St has a tendency to abandon him in the middle of the field.

9.5

9

*Chris 'Beanie' Wells6-1, 230

RB

Ohio ST

Bid power Back who looks like he has the speed to play in the NFL. 

9.5

10

Duke Robinson- 6-4, 333

OG

Oklahoma 

All-American O-Guard returns for his Senior season. 

9.4

11

*Tim Tebow-  6-3, 233

QB

Florida

Don't hate me, but I still see him more as a Runner then a QB. I question how well he can QB in the NFL. 

9.5

12

Alex Boone- 6-7, 325

OT

Ohio ST

Huge man who plays Left Tackle for The Ohio State, but have to move to Right Tackle in the NFL. If you don't watch the Ohio USC game, then you are not a Draftnic!!!!

9.4

13

Tyson Jackson- 6'6, 291     

DE

LSU

So far he is the top 3-4 D-End prospect in the Draft. 

9.4

14

Brain Cushing- 6-3, 250 

OLB

USC 

Some think he is a better prospect then Keith Rivers and Maualaga, but I don't buy it. However, he does a lot of things well, and will be a good Pro.

9.4

15

Brian Robiskie-  6-2, 196     

WR

Ohio ST

Better. Faster. Stronger. Anthony Gonzalez. That's right, a bionic Gonzalez.   

9.4

16

Malcolm Jenkins- 6-2, 200

CB

Ohio ST 

Big CB who has questionable feet. When I have watched him I have not been impressed, and word out of Ohio is that his speed may not be up to par. 

9.4

17

Andre Smith-  6-5, 350            

OT

Alabama

My first buyer beware player. He can dance with any bear, but he also puts on weight like a spring bear.

9.4

18

Taylor Mays- 6-3 225, 4.4

S

USC

My first super freak, has the size of Linebacker, hits like a truck, and can run and jump like a gazelle on steroids. 

9.3

19

Percy Harvin- 5-11, 185      

WR

Florida 

Super fast and super tough, and will need to be at his size.

9.3

20

Terrence Taylor- 6-1.5 328

NT/DT

Michigan

Nose Tackle prospect who has enough quickness to hit the QB occasionally. 

9.3

21

William Moore- 6-1, 215

S

Missouri

May be best combination of pass defender and run defender in the Draft. If he can match his 111 TKL and 8 INTs he could be a top ten pick.

9.3

22

Mike Mickens- 5-11, 170

CB

South Florida 

Small school Corner who has been lost I the shuffle a bit wit the amazing rise of DRC and McKelvin. However, he may be the best press Corner in the draft. And the last legit Number One Corner Prospect left.

9.3

23

*George Selvie- 6-3, 245

OLB/DE

South Florida 

Pure passrusher who must improve strength and consistency. 

9.3

24

Victor Harris- 5-11, 200  

CB 

Virginia Tech

Is best combo of size and speed. Word out of Virginia is that he is running sub 4.4s consistently. Plus, he returns kicks.

9.2

25

Vontae Davis-  5-11, 200, 4.31

CB/S

Illinois

Tough guy who maybe the most physical Corner in the Draft. Tackles like a guided missile, and can blow up ball carriers. Not the best in coverage, and maybe more of a Safety. 

9.2

26

C.J. Spiller- 5-11, 195, 4.4 

RB

Clemson

It's tough to pick a back in the First who is sharing the backfield with a guy who could be better, and most likely will b ea First next year as well. However, he has exceptional speed, and average 7.5 YPC last year. 

9.2

27

Brandon Spikes,- 6-3, 245

LB

Florida

Inside Backer who lacks great athleticism. But he can beast in the run game, 

9.2

28

Myron Rolle- 6-2, 210, 4.5

SS

Florida ST

Built like a Strong safety, plays like a Strong Safety. Needs to improve in pass defense. 

9.2

29

Phil Loadholt- 6-8, 350

OT

Oklahoma 

Has great size and decent athleticism, but he is a waist bender who Has to learn to bend at the knees if he wants to succeed in the NFL. 

9.2

30

Derrius Heyward-Bey- 6-3, 190 

WR

Maryland 

Super-fast string bean who is still more promise then production.

9.2

31

Ciron Black- 6-5, 320

OLT

LSU 

I LT prospects who are 6-5 and under, because size matters. However, I believe that he does have the feet to play LT in the NFL.

9.2

32

Al Woods- 6-4, 325   

NT/DT  

LSU

Big Nose Tackle type, and with Wilfork's contract come due, looking at NT might be the top priority come Draft time next year.

9.2
