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 Johnson- 6-6,
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' Wells- 6-1, 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. |
