2009 Stiggity's NFL Mock Draft
by Stiggity Esteban

1. DET- QB Matthew Stafford
The Lions obviously didn't want to repeat back to back 0-16 seasons, so they turned the page and signed Stafford. Stafford has played against elite SEC teams and in 29 starts he's 27-7. He also gets to throw to red zone nightmare Calvin Johnson which.

2. STL- OT Jason Smith
With the departure of Orlando Pace, the Rams have desperate need of a left tackle. The Rams need to justify signing Bulger to 65 million especially since he's been hurt the last two seasons due to poor offensive line play. Smith was a four year starter at Baylor and has experience playing both tackle positions.

3. KC- DE Tyson Jackson
The Chiefs were one of the worst defenses last season and Scott Pioli understands the importance of building defensive lines. The addition of Jackson will more than help Glenn Dorsey.

5. CLE- OLB- Aaron Curry
The Browns clearly need more playmakers on defense and will be ecstatic that Curry falls to them. Curry will emerge into a phenomenal NFL talent and be cornerstone for the Browns defense for years to come.


6. CIN- OT Andre Smith
The Bengals offensive line surrendered 51 sacks(3rd most in NFL) not mention they seem to be a magnet for players with character issues. Smith's talent is undeniable but he needs to keep his weight down.



7. OAK- WR Michael Crabtree
I have a gut feeling Al might get this pick for a change. Crabtree may not have the fastest 40 time but he runs good routes and excels in yards after the catch. This should help JaMarcus Russell considerably in passing game and especially in the red zone.



8. JAX- WR Jeremy Maclin
Offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter gets another speedy receiver to compliment Torry Holt. Maclin will be great in the return game and Holt will provide a mentor him well.

9. GB- DT B.J. Raji
Dom Capers is the new defense coordinator for the Pack and transitioning to a 3-4 defense won't be easy. Raji is a prototypical 3-4 nosetackle and has great potential if he can handle himself off the field.



10- SF- QB Mark Sanchez
Call me crazy but I wouldn't be the least bit suprised if Sanchez falls here. I can't imagine Singletary being serious about keeping his job with Alex Smith or Shaun Hill at quarterback. Eventually Sanchez will turn things around in San Fran.

11. BUF- OT Michael Oher
Trent Edwards needs someone to protect his blindside and Oher will be Jason Peters replacement.

12. DEN - DE Robert Ayers
The Bronco are rebuilding on defense and Ayers will be a key building block for the 3-4.

13. WASH - DE Brian Orakpo
The Skins get lucky here and Orakpo falls in their lap. Phillip Daniels is 31 and playing Eli Manning, Donovan McNabb, and Tony Romo twice a year can't be easy on any pass rush.

14. NO - S Malcolm Jenkins
The Saints will get a top notch safety to help their porous pass defense.


15. HOU - OLB Brian Cushing
The Texans get a much needed boost on defense.

16. SD - ILB Rey Maualuga
Maualuga will add some life on defense and will help Merriman out.


17. NYJ- QB Josh Freeman
The Jets will gladly settle for Freeman here.

[Ed. I assume someone is picking at 18, so we take Beanie here. I'm firing my Draft Guru]

19. TB - DT Peria Jerry
The Bucs need to get younger at defensive tackle.

20. DET- OT William Beatty
The Lions offensive were pathetic last year and need to protect their top overall pick Matt Stafford.

21. PHI - RB Knowshon Moreno
Brian Westbrook injuries have taken it toll on his body but Moreno will preserve him a little longer. Moreno catches well out of the backfield and will make an immediate impact in the running game

22. MIN - WR Percy Harvin
Harvin is a dynamic playmaker and will add a new dimension to the Vikings passing attack.

23. NE - RB James Laurenitis

24. ATL - ILB Clay Matthews
With Michael Boley and Keith Brooking gone the Falcons needs some help at linebacker.

25. MIA - DB Vontae Davis
Davis has great man to man coverage skills something the Fins are deficient in.

26. BAL WR- Darius Heyward-Bey
Flacco will get some much needed help at receiver.

27. IND - WR Brian Robiskie
Anthony Gonzalez is too inconsistent catching the ball to be a reliable # 2 receiver, he's better off playing in the slot. Robiskie gives Peyton another redzone target and will develop into a solid receiver.

28. BUF- DE Michael Johnson
The Bills will gamble with this pick or Johnson will make every team that passed on him sorry.

29. NYG -WR Kenny Britt

30. TEN - DB Alphonso Smith
Clearly has a knack for being around the ball finishing his career with 21 interceptions at Wake Forest.

31. ARI- RB Donald Brown
The Cards were abysmal running the football and finished were last in the league. Getting Brown here is quite a gift here especially because he possesses good work ethic and will suprise some people in the NFL.

32. PIT- C Alex Mack
The Steelers need some youth on the offensive line Mack can play any position needed.
