2009 NFL Mock Draft: Round Two

Last update: Monday, May 5, 2008. Next update: TBA.

The order of this mock has been decided by my 2008 NFL Power Rankings: Post-Draft.
  1. Atlanta Falcons: Terrance Taylor, DT, Michigan
    The Falcons need to keep rebuilding their offensive and defensive lines. Terrance Taylor is a nose tackle who would look great next to Jonathan Babineaux.

  2. Miami Dolphins: Mike Mickens, CB, Cincinnati
    Another position of dire need the Dolphins failed to address in the 2008 Draft was cornerback; teams will once again be able to throw all over Miami this upcoming season.

  3. San Francisco 49ers: Hunter Cantwell, QB, Louisville
    If the 49ers are drafting this high, something went terribly wrong with Alex Smith. Would anyone be shocked if that happened? Nope. San Francisco takes its new quarterback of the future here.

  4. Kansas City Chiefs: Victor Harris, CB, Virginia Tech
    Patrick Surtain will be 33 prior to the commencement of the 2009 campaign, so it's likely that he'll be cut after this season. If that happens, the Chiefs will be fishing for a cornerback. Why not Brandon Flowers' former teammate, another guy perfect for Herm Edwards' defense?



  5. St. Louis Rams: Patrick Chung, SS, Oregon
    I can't imagine Corey Chavous being around much longer. The Rams, seemingly obsessed with 40 times, take the fastest player available at this position in this draft range.

  6. Detroit Lions: Vidal Hazelton, WR, USC
    This is such a Matt Millen pick. I have to believe Roy Williams will be traded before the 2009 Draft. If that happens, Millen will be itching to take the most athletic receiver available. It's too bad Lions fans can't trade Millen, though the best they could probably get are animal droppings and a conditional seventh-round pick (based entirely on whether or not Millen keeps taking crappy receivers).

  7. Oakland Raiders: Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
    This is such an Al Davis pick, though I actually like Jeremy Maclin. Al Davis does his own scouting, and he has his formula down to a tee. I stole his notes. Check them out: 1) Make sure I have enough goat blood to make it through the day. 2) Look at 40 times. 3) Circle the players who have the fastest 40 times. 4) Order my assistants to take those players while I sleep during the day so I can feast on unsuspecting teenagers at night.

  8. Baltimore Ravens: Darry Beckwith, ILB, LSU
    Ray Lewis, 34 next spring, will be demanding a lot of money as a free agent. Baltimore's cap situation sucks, so it wouldn't surprise me if the team lets him go. Once that happens, the Ravens will need a replacement.

  9. Chicago Bears: Herman Johnson, G, LSU
    It's early, but the Bears look like they're already having trouble at one of their guard positions. Terrence Metcalf can't stop sucking, while neither Kirk Barton nor Chester Adams looks up to the task.

  10. Denver Broncos: Nic Harris, SS, Oklahoma
    Well, the bad news is the Broncos didn't find a successor for John Lynch (though Josh Barrett may have something to say about that). The good news is I can use my "John Lynch will soon be old enough to eat Jell-O and use tricks to get hot nurses to bend over" joke for 12 more months. Can you feel the excitement?

  11. New York Jets: Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida
    Looks like finding someone to play right next to David Harris in New York's 3-4 wasn't as big a priority as I thought it would be. That said, I have a feeling the Jets will be looking to address this position come April 2009.



  12. Cincinnati Bengals: Greg Middleton, DE, Indiana
    I'm not really sold on Antwan Odom. If he doesn't pan out, Robert Geathers is the team's best option for getting to the quarterback. Geathers had four sacks last year. Something tells me Greg Middleton will help Marvin Lewis' defense out a bit. All Middleton did in 2007 was accumulate 16 sacks. That's not a typo.

  13. Arizona Cardinals: Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia
    A bookend tackle for Levi Brown. Arizona running backs averaged just 3.6 yards per carry last year, so the offensive line could use a bit of a boost.

  14. Carolina Panthers: Vince Oghobaase, DT, Duke
    It looks like the Panthers feel they missed the boat on the defensive tackle position, as they signed a bunch of scrubs immediately following the 2008 Draft. They still need someone to fill Kris Jenkins' shoes.

  15. Washington Redskins: Kevin Ellison, SS, USC
    The Redskins will need someone to start next to LaRon Landry if they can't get anything out of Reed Doughty, Vernon Fox, Kareem Moore and Chris Horton. I thought Doughty performed well last year, but we'll see what he's made of once he has to play the entire season.

  16. Tennessee Titans: C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
    Looks like Tennessee's strategy is to keep drafting running backs with fast 40 times until they find a winner. Good luck with this one, Titans.



  17. Houston Texans: Arian Foster, RB, Tennessee
    I don't expect Ahman Green and Chris Brown to be around once this actual draft takes place. Steve Slaton is a nice scat back to have, but he definitely can't carry the load. The 225-pound Arian Foster would be a nice complement to Slaton.

  18. Minnesota Vikings: Curtis Painter, QB, Purdue
    I'm not going into how much Tarvaris Jackson sucked down the stretch. OK, maybe a little bit. In the three games that counted the most (i.e. Weeks 15-17), Jackson tossed five picks and fumbled thrice. Not exactly Tom Brady-like numbers.

  19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Demetrius Byrd, WR, LSU
    A possession receiver to complement Dexter Jackson. Let's hope Demetrius Byrd actually has more than one productive season, unlike LSU alumnus Michael Clayton.

  20. Buffalo Bills: Ryan Purvis, TE, Boston College
    Just a hunch, but I don't think Derek Fine is the tight end Bills fans are looking for. Buffalo takes the best guy in a weak class.

  21. Philadelphia Eagles: Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas
    What can I say? Andy Reid loves drafting offensive and defensive linemen. It doesn't look like the Eagles need another defensive end right now, but I'm sure Reid will find some excuse to draft one when the time comes.

  22. Seattle Seahawks: Aaron Kelly, WR, Clemson
    I can't believe the Seahawks didn't address the receiver position in the draft. Who is Matt Hasselbeck going to throw to this year? Deion Branch may not even see action this season; Nate Burleson is very mediocre; Bobby Engram just turned 35; D.J. Hackett is gone; John Carlson's just a rookie; while the likes of Courtney Taylor and Ben Obomanu have yet to prove themselves.

  23. Pittsburgh Steelers: Jeremy Perry, G, Oregon State
    More offensive line help. Sean Mahan needs to be removed entirely from Pittsburgh's front.



  24. Cleveland Browns: Maurice Evans, DE/OLB, Penn State
    As I said in my power rankings, I'm shocked the Browns didn't add any pass-rushing linebackers to take advantage of Pittsburgh's porous offensive line.

  25. New Orleans Saints: Gerald McRath, OLB, Southern Miss
    I'm sure the weakside linebacker position will become a huge priority for the Saints once they see that Dan Morgan isn't good for anything more than four games.

  26. Dallas Cowboys: Brian Robiskie, WR, Ohio State
    Jerry Jones fooled everyone by not taking a receiver in this past draft. I don't think he pulls the same stunt again; Terrell Owens and Terry Glenn will both be 35 once the 2009 season begins.

  27. Green Bay Packers: James Davis, RB, Clemson
    Best Player Available again for the Packers. The fact that James Davis slipped this late is proof that the running back position isn't in high demand anymore.

  28. Indianapolis Colts: Antwain Robinson, DE, Arkansas
    Insurance at defensive end if Dwight Freeney gets hurt again. The Colts drafted Marcus Howard to do that job, but I'm not sure if the 235-pound Howard can be effective in that role.

  29. New England Patriots: Joe Burnett, CB, Central Florida
    If Terrence Wheatley and Jonathan Wilhite can't contribute right away, Jason Webster is going to be one of New England's starting cornerbacks. That's just scary.



  30. New England Patriots: Jasper Brinkley, ILB, South Carolina
    Here's to hoping that Jasper Brinkley has made a full recovery from his knee injury. Brinkley was once a first-round prospect on this Web site.

  31. Jacksonville Jaguars: Michael Hamlin, SS, Clemson
    The Jaguars could be moving Brian Williams to strong safety. If that doesn't work out - I don't think it will - they'll need an upgrade over Gerald Sensabaugh.

  32. New York Giants: Matt Shaugnessy, DE, Wisconsin
    I'm surprised the Giants didn't acquire a defensive end in April's draft. I guess they think Michael Strahan will be sticking around for another season.
