Most Recent Update: November 18, 2009 (In-Season Rev #45)
Eric Berry or Taylor Mays! The super safeties create defensive mismatches for the teams that draft them due to their superlative speed and coverage ability. Our Raiders analyst took one look at Taylor Mays (6-3, 230, sub 4.4) and decided instantly that he's an Al Davis covet (which may or may not be a good thing). We've got the smaller Berry (5-11, 203, also sub 4.4) rated lower than Mays, but he's still in the top 10 players. Some recent talk centers around the notion that "Berry is more of a football player than Mays", but we'll see how their rankings progress into the bowl and all-star game seasons.

| PK | TEAM | SELECTION | COMMENTS | |
| 1 |  |
*Sam Bradford Oklahoma QB Reach (-3) |
Cleveland Despite not being a product of an Pro set offense, Bradford offers up uncanny accuracy, big game cred, and the mysterious "intagibles" that cannot be coached - Drafttek Staff  |
|
| 2 |  |
Ndamukong Suh Nebraska DT43 Value (+1) |
Tampa Bay Having draftted Josh Freeman last year, Tbay is not in the market for a QB. Available offensive playmakers are not worthy of the #3 pick, so why not go with the the best player in the draft to buff up the D-Line? Draftek Staff |
|
| 3 |  |
*Gerald McCoy Oklahoma DT43 Reach (-4) |
Detroit The Lions have a 36 year old and a 33 year old playing on the defensive line. Gerald McCoy has the size and strength Jim Schwartz is looking for and the tenacity to fit in with Cunningham. - Mike Schottey DTek NFL Analyst |
|
| 4 |  |
*Carlos Dunlap Florida DE43 Reach (-1) |
St Louis The best rushing DE in the draft goes to the Rams who desperately need a bookend to Chris Long with Hall and Little aging fast. - R Occhipinti (Drafttek Rams Analyst) |
|
| 5 |  |
Taylor Mays USC FS Value (+3) |
Oakland Al Davis covets the top physical speciman of the draft, but will he be another Michael Huff?? - Drafttek Staff |
|
| 6 |  |
Russell Okung Oklahoma State OT Value (+3) |
Kansas City The Chiefs desperately need help on the offensive line and Okung is the best offensive line player in the draft. Okung is the pick and Branden Albert slides inside. - Merlin DT Chiefs Analyst |
|
| 7 |  |
Colt McCoy Texas QB Value (+1) |
Buffalo Colt McCoy has Kelly-esque swagger, good downfield range, and on-target accuracy. Pair him with Evans-Reed-Johnson-Hardy-Jenkins (maybe T.O.?) and you resurrect an anemic passing game. - D Kindig (Drafttek Bills Analyst) |
|
| 8 |  |
*Bryan Bulaga Iowa OT Reach (-1) |
Washington Perhaps the best LT prospect in the draft, the Redskins find Samuel's replacement in Bulaga - a necessity with the edge rushers that are prevalent in the NFC East. Next question: who will be his coach? - Longball (DOF) |
|
| PK | TEAM | SELECTION | COMMENTS | |
| 9 |  |
Greg Hardy Mississippi DE43 Reach (-4) |
Seattle The Seahawks' biggest need is to improve their pass rush. Hardy's diva attitude and injury record makes him an unlikely choice for Seattle, but they will target his position. - Rob Staton (Drafttek Seahawks Analyst) |
|
| 10 |  |
Terrence Cody Alabama DT43 Reach (-6) |
Tennessee If anyone can get Titan's fans to forget Albert Haynesworth, it's Terrence Cody. True nose tackles are highly coveted, and Tennessee gets the best available. - Drafttek Staff |
|
| 11 | * |  |
Trent Williams Oklahoma OG Reach (-3) |
Denver This pick would return the Broncos OL to being one of the best in the league. Williams is a beast. However, picking a natural OT this early to play him at OG may not make sense. Makes one wonder if the Broncos would be looking to trade back . . . - Scott Nelson (Bronco Analyst) |
| 12 |  |
Brandon LaFell LSU WRF Value (+4) |
NY Jets "I'm so happy that LaFell fell to us, I could just CRY!" - Rex Ryan |
|
| 13 | * |  |
Charles Brown USC OT Reach (-4) |
San Francisco Brown stays on the Left Coast, has time to go through weight training and mature, and combined with Patrick, Staley and Snyder, provides the nucleus of a future 49'er OL that should be able to control the ball. - Drafttek Staff |
| 14 |  |
C.J. Spiller Clemson RBC Reach (-1) |
Miami A RB in round 1? Could happen depending on what's available. Why? Ronnie Brown is injury prone, 2010 is Ricky Williams final season, and Patrick Cobbs missed more than half of the '09 season to a torn ACL. Spiller is a game-changer in the mold of Reggie Bush and Leon Washington. - Joe Mays (Drafttek Dolphins Analyst) |
|
| 15 | |
Mike Iupati Idaho OG Reach (-4) |
San Francisco 15th may seem a little high for an interior lineman, but OG is a big need for the team. Iupati has the size and speed Singletary will be looking for to shore up what has historically been an excellent (if undersized) O-Line. - Drafttek Staff |
|
| 16 |  |
*Eric Berry Tennessee SS Value (+6) |
Green Bay This pick would be about as popular in Packerland as Justin Harrell was. In other words, you would hear a chorus of boos. Despite Berry's obvious talent, to select a safety with the first pick, when there are so many more glaring areas of need, such as a LT and RB, is crazy. Of course, Ted Thompson has been called crazy before, so it could happen. - Al Bracco (Drafttek Packer Analyst) |
|
1st Round Traded Selections: *11) Denver gets Chicago's 1st Rounder (Jay Cutler compensation) *13) San Francisco gets Carolina's 1st rounder (used to select DE Everette Brown in the 2009 draft) *24) Seattle gets Denvers's first rounder (used to select CB Alphonso Smith in the 2009 draft) |
