Final 2009 NFL Mock Draft Submitted

The NFL Draft Site has completed it's final 2009 NFL Mock Draft. Thanks CJ for maintaining it all season. It also just happens to be the last entry to NFL Draft Dog's Mock Draft Contest. 

No new 2009 NFL Mock Drafts will be accepted, but updates will be accepted up until 17 April 2009. Now on to a little fun analysis of CJs final 2009 Mock Draft: 

First of all let me just say it is an excellent mock draft, probably one of the best that I have seen.  At #16 he has the Chargers taking LSU's DE Tyson Jackson, while I do think Tennessee's DE Robert Ayers will eventually be a better player, you have to think the Chargers will try to replace DE Igor Olshansky, who in free agency to play for the Dallas Cowboys.

At #18 he has the Broncos reaching big time for giant Boston College nose tackle Ron Brace (6' 3" 330 lbs), yes the Broncos are converting to a 34 defense and they do need a big force on the inside, it would be sad if they passed on Mississippi's DT Peria Jerry (6' 3" 305 lbs), who is a much better player.

At #29 CJ has the Giants taking Connecticut's RB Donald Brown. This is an excellent selection. Brown is big (5' 11" 210 lbs), fast (4.48) and extremely durable. He can be a franchise running back. Derrick Ward left via free agency and Ahmad Bradshaw is the only back up behind oft injured starter Brandon Jacobs. Tennessee's super talented defensive end Robert Ayers slips all the way down to #33. If you are a Lions fan you would have to be thrilled, but in all likely hood Ayers will be a top 20 selection in the 2009 NFL Draft. Since the Senior Bowl Ayers has been rising up the draft boards faster than any player.

At #63 the Arizona Cardinals in desperate need of a running back select NC State RB Andre Brown. many would say that is a reach, oh quite contrary, Brown is really talented and fully capable of replacing under performing Edgerrin James. If Brown is selected we will see his (Edgerrin James) departure. He (James) rushed for a career low 514 yards in 2008. Brown is big (6' 1" 225 lbs) and fast (4.45) and will be drafted sooner than what most draft analysts think.
