Patsfans Draft Forum Patriots Mock- The Grand Finale*

[PATSNUTme]

Has it been a moth since we did the last one? Much has changed so let's do another.

NFL Draft - 2009 Draft Prospects - CBSSports.com Football

Rules - there has to be rules.

You cannot pick anyone ranked 3 places above the Patriots picks. So you can't choose a player ranked #19 or above and so on and so forth.

Once you've done that then you can do one with trades as long as the trades make sense from the value board.

This is just to see where people are thinking about the players there are no winners or losers. DO NOT tear into someone else picks until you have made yours, and do it respectfully. OK go to it!

The Patriots draft picks are:

PATRIOTS 23 34 47 58 89 97 124 170 199 207 234

This will be the final one unless we do another one.

Here is a trade value chart

I really like the way this worked out. #97 was the toughest choice for me.

#23 Clay Matthews, ILB USC
#34 Conner Barwin, OLB Cin
#47 Eric Wood, C-G, Lou
#58 William Moore, SS Mo
#89 Louis Murphy, Wr, Fl
#97 David Viekune OLB, HI
#124 Xavier Fulton, OT, Ill
#170 Sammi Lee Hill, DT, Stillman
#199 Brooks Foster, WR, UNC
#207 Bear Pascoe, TE/LS Fresno
#234 Greg Toler, CB, St Pauls- Why not?

[TriplecHamp]

#23) Rey Maualuga-ILB USC (ILB to play alongside Mayo for the next 8 years. Will play the SILB role and main objective: Hurt the QB and stop the run
#34) Robert Ayers-DE/OLB Tennessee (Mike Mayock just said that Ayers is a guy who was flying under the radar...Said Ayers could play 4-3 end or 3-4 OLB..."Ayers will be the best defensive player to come out of this draft.")
-Mike Mayock.

#47) Louis Delmas- SS/FS Western Michigan (Patriots Bolster the Safety position and get a nickle player for this year, but a future starter.)

#58) Jamon Meridith- OT South Carolina (Future Left tackle?, possible starter at right tackle?)

#89) Shawn Nelson-TE Southern Mississippi
#97) Antoine Caldwell- C Alabama
#124) Ricky Jean Francois- DT LSU
#170) Aaron Kelly- WR Clemson
#199) Chris Baker-DT Hampton
#207) Joe Burnett- CB UCF
#234) Devin Moore- RB Wyoming

Trade #124 and #58 to get to #53, trade #89 and #234 to move up a spot

#23 Maualuga ILB
#34 Barwin OLB
#47 D.J. Moore DB
#53 Delmas DB
#88 Luigs C/G
#97 Ramses Barden WR
#170 Alex Boone RT
#199 Pannel Egboh DE
#207 Bear Pascoe TE

[Seneschal2]

#23 Darius Butler CB Connecticut
#34 Connor Barwin, OLB, Cincinnati
#47 Patrick Chung SS Oregon
#58 Jarron Gilbert DE San Jose State
#89 Jason Williams OLB Western Illinois
#97 Brandon Tate WR North Carolina
#124 T.J. Lang OG Eastern Michigan
#170 Brandon Underwood FS Cincinnati
#199 Bear Pascoe, TE/LS Fresno
#207 Thomas Morstead P Southern Methodist
#234 Dan Skuta OLB Grand Valley State

No trades necessary; their rankings listed in parentheses:

23 - Connor Barwin, OLB (31)
34 - William Beatty, OT (43)
47 - Louis Delmas, S (51)
58 - Jarron Gilbert, DE (58)
89 - Jason Williams, LB (96)
97 - TJ Lang, OG (127), or Trevor Canfield OG (104)
124 - Mike Wallace, WR (167)
170 - Sammie Lee Hill, DT (172), or Chris Baker DT (197)
199 - Devin Moore, RB (233)
207 - Joe Burnett, CB (206)
234 - Thomas Morstead, P (236)

I would be in 7th heaven with that draft. Can't imagine a better one for me, given my player preferences.

If I were truly drafting blind, I would take the players in exactly the order listed. The biggest dilemma I would have would be Delmas at 47 and Gilbert at 58 - I probably wouldn't be content to sit and wait hoping that both fall, I would probably use #89 to trade up to secure one of them, thus missing out on either Jason Williams or one of the OG's, who I would have to choose between at #97.

23 - Rey Maualuga, ILB USC

Love him or hate him, it is highly likely that Maualuga would start at the TED for the Patriots if drafted. He'd be a clear upgrade over Bruschi and would relegate Guyton to a nice backup position.

34 - Alex Mack, C California

He's a bit overrated this high but Mack is the best interior lineman coming out this year in my opinion.

47 - Clint Sintim, OLB Virgina

Not one of the OLB drool targets but Sintim has a really nice burst off the line and has demonstrable skill and experience at linebacker. In my opinion, he is the only other 1st/2nd round OLB besides Curry that is a sure thing not to bust.

William Moore, S Mizzou

I really wanted to take Jarron Gilbert here but remembering Moore's junior season finally swayed me. This is a very risky pick, as Moore was just horrible last season. Moore's potential to start at safety and upgrade Sanders is more valuable to the Patriots than Gilbert being a backup next season.

89 - Javon Ringer, RB Michigan State

My Ringer love has officially gone past the point of rationality if I'm picking him this high. I still believe he would be a great candidate to replace Faulk.

97 - Gerald Cadogan, OT Penn State

Tough, skilled and intelligent tackle. He'd be a nice backup at the very least.

124 - Lardarius Webb, CB Nicholls State

I'd probably rather take Domonique Johnson here but his workouts have dropped him into the UDFA territory, so I'll take the knucklehead with the workout numbers to double up on FCS corners.

170 - Sammy Lee Hill, DT Stillman College

He's enormous and fairly athletic for his size. The Patriots have shown interest.

199 - Everette Pedescleaux, DE Northern Iowa

Big, athletic man who could absolutely play end in the 3-4.

207 - Eron Riley, WR Duke

The best WR sleeper outside of Mike Wallace.

234 - Julius Williams, OLB UConn

Pats showed interest and he was a good player for the Huskies.

I like this draft esp the Ringer Pick. IDK why but he reminds me of matt forte a little bit.

Wow, they have Devin Moore ranked at 233. I'd like your draft a lot. I like the punter too at 234 although I'd probably prefer Huber who wouldn't be there at that time.
