2009 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

1. Detroit Lions- Matthew Stafford, QB- Georgia
Looking for their new franchise QB.

2. St. Louis Rams- Jason Smith, LT- Baylor
Will finally give Marc Bulger the protection he needs.

3. Kansas City Chiefs- Aaron Curry, OLB- Wake Forest
Best player in the draft. New GM Scott Pioli loves players who are multi-dimensional.

4. Seattle Seahawks- Eugene Monroe, LT- Virginia
A new LT is the biggest priority to protect QB Matt Hasselbeck and to utilize their new investment in WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh. Have publicly announced they will not take QB Mark Sanchez.

5. Cleveland Browns- Brian Orakpo, DE- Texas
WR Michael Crabtree did not impress the Browns with his recent visit. Will take Orakpo and utilize him as their OLB in their new 3-4 scheme.

6. Cincinnati Bengals- Andre Smith, LT- Alabama
Top priority is to give QB Carson Palmer protection.

7. Oakland Raiders- Michael Crabtree, WR- Texas Tech
QB Jamarcus Russell needs a go-to receiver if he wants to shed that bust label.

8. Jacksonville Jaguars- B.J. Raji, DT- Boston College
Will take the place of departed DT Marcus Stroud. The defense was obviously not the same last year without him. Could take a receiver but the Jags have had too many misses in that department and just signed WR Torry Holt.

9. Green Bay Packers- Aaron Maybin, DE- Penn State
Need an edge rusher opposite of OLB Aaron Kampman.

10. San Francisco 49ers- Jeremy Maclin, WR- Missouri
San Francisco needs a marquis receiver to develop their QBs.

11. Buffalo Bills- Robert Ayers, DE- Tennessee
Will serve as the new edge rusher opposite of DE Aaron Schobel to help improve the pass rush.

12. Denver Broncos- Tyson Jackson, DE- LSU
The premier 3-4 DE in the draft. Very solid and safe pick.

13. Washington Redskins- Michael Oher, LT- Mississippi
An insurance policy for that anemic offensive line. Will eventually replace LT Chris Samuels.

14. New Orleans Saints- Malcolm Jenkins, CB- Ohio State
Top CB in the draft. Will improve their secondary immediately.

15. Houston Texans- Brian Cushing, OLB- USC
Will help lift the Texans over the edge and get them into the playoffs for the first time in the franchise's history.

16. San Diego Chargers- Rey Maualuga, ILB- USC
Will seal the hole in the middle of that linebacker corps.

17. New York Jets- Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR- Maryland
The Jets are committed to QB Kellen Clemens, who has been very impressive this off-season, and will take the burner to help spread the field for him.

18. Denver Broncos- Everette Brown, DE/OLB- Florida State
Could be one of the steals of the draft with his pass rush ability. Will serve as the OLB in the Broncos 3-4 scheme.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Mark Sanchez, QB- USC
Will be one of the surprises of the draft if no one trades up to get him, which is more likely than him slipping this far in reality. Every team which preceded this pick is already committed to their current quarterback corps.

20. Detroit Lions- Brandon Pettigrew, TE- Kansas State
The premier TE of this year's draft class. Will serve as a main target for QB Matthew Stafford for years to come.

21. Philadelphia Eagles- Knowshon Moreno, RB- Georgia
The best player available at this point. Will succeed current RB Brian Westbrook and will serve to take pressure off of him for this season.

22. Minnesota Vikings- Percy Harvin, WR- Florida
The Vikings have been coveting him as of late. Will use him as a weapon for new QB Sage Rosenfels. His recent positive drug test will not affect the Vikings decision as they usually go for the best player available with their picks.

23. New England Patriots- Clay Matthews, OLB- USC
Will replace the departed OLB Mike Vrabel. His pedigree will be too tempting for the Patriots to pass up.

24. Atlanta Falcons- Peria Jerry, DT- Mississippi
Will fill a huge void on their defense which took an immense hit this offseason.

25. Miami Dolphins- Vontae Davis, CB- Illinois
The Dolphins have been coveting the All Big 10 CB the entire offseason and would love for him to fall into their hands.

26. Baltimore Ravens- Darius Butler, CB- Connecticut
Could be the elite CB of the draft. Will help continue to bring youth to the Raven's new secondary.

27. Indianapolis Colts- Chris Wells, RB- Ohio State
Will take the best available player. Could be the steal of the draft. Will immediately help their disappointing 2008 run game.

28. Buffalo Bills- William Beatty, LT- Connecticut
Will replace departed LT Jason Peters. Extremely agile for his size. Has lots of upside.

29. New York Giants- Kenny Britt, WR- Rutgers
Will replace departed WR Plaxico Burress. Is one of the most underrated players in the draft.

30. Tennessee Titans- Larry English, DE- Northern Illinois
The Titans love picking the best player available, especially if they bolster the line on defense. Will serve as a new edge rusher.

31. Arizona Cardinals- Donald Brown, RB- Connecticut
Will help improve the weakest area of this team, their running game.

32. Pittsburgh Steelers- Alex Mack, C- California
QB Ben Roethlisberger needs protection on the interior of this line and will get it with this pick.
