GBN's Quick Look at the 2009 Draft

[NBT]

Maybe we do need to look at QBs, but not as much as DEs, & LBs, & probably CBs.

Prior to last weekends game against Cincy, GBN had us picking in the 7th slot if the NFL Draft were next week. Of course now we are 3-4 so that is out the window.

The time to look at QBs is before you NEED to look at QBs. Ask the Cowboys about the value in having a back-up QB (or the Texans for that matter). You never know when you will need one, and I think you grab one soon before you lose Sage so that "kid" has time to develop into something you can trust in a back-up role (if not more).

That being said, given the offense is top 10 and the defense is ... uhh... not... I think focusing on the defense might be a good idea. And I agree it looks like given the talent coming out you are more likely to find quality at LB early, so look for that to be the likely 1st round pick.

I'm with ya on that Fro. We do have Brink on the taxi. Not to say he is anywhere near being a Romo, but then neither was Romo back then.

Now that we are well into the College season, it looks like the best positions are starting to firm up. This may be the best year for TE's in quite a spell.
1. Brandon Pettigrew, Okie St. - He can do it all.
2. Chase Coffman - Mizzou. - Another big 12 stud
3. Bear Pascoe - Fresno St. - Good blocker, maturing receiver.
4. Shawn Nelson - Sou. Miss. Not as big but fast.

Next is MLB where there are 3 that might light it up
1. James Laurinaitis - Ohio St. Fits best in a 4-3 front. (Are you listening Kubiak?)
2. Rey Maualuga - USC Big mauler, anger problem?
3. Darry Beckwith - LSU - Reads & flows quickly

Lastly OT
1. Eugene Monroe (OLT) - Va. - Big, quick man
2. Michael Oher (OLT) 'OL Miss. - Even bigger, quick man
3. Phil Loadholt (OLT) OKla. Biggest man, still quick.

These are the elite according to PFWeekly right now.
