Todd McShay's 2009 Mock Draft

This is absolutely hilarious.  Todd McShay has already done a mock draft for 2009.  McShay must be the smartest man alive to project what kind of seasons these guys will have, which guys will come out early and where the NFL teams will finish.  Notice where he has the Titans picking.

1. Atlanta Falcons -- Fili Moala, DT, USC

2. Detroit Lions -- Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech

3. Kansas City Chiefs -- Matt Stafford*, QB, Georgia

4. Miami Dolphins -- Al Woods, DT, LSU

5. Cincinnati Bengals -- Sen'Derrick Marks*, DT, Auburn

6. Oakland Raiders -- Andre Smith*, OT, Alabama

7. Chicago Bears -- Tim Tebow*, QB, Florida

8. San Francisco 49ers -- Michael Oher, OT, Mississippi

9. St. Louis Rams -- Rey Maualuga, ILB, USC

10. New York Jets -- Knowshon Moreno*, RB, Georgia

11. Tennessee Titans -- Michael Crabtree*, WR, Texas Tech

Do not pigeonhole Crabtree; he's not just a product of coach Mike Leach's pass-crazy offense. The tall, long-armed receiver could be the go-to-target QB Vince Young so desperately needs.

12. Houston Texans -- Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State

13. Denver Broncos -- James Laurinaitis, ILB, Ohio State

14. Baltimore Ravens -- Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois

15. Philadelphia Eagles (from CAR) -- Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland

16. Arizona Cardinals -- LeSean McCoy*, RB, Pittsburgh

17. Buffalo Bills -- Travis Beckum, TE, Wisconsin

18. Philadelphia Eagles -- Phil Loadholt, OT, Oklahoma

19. Washington Redskins -- Greg Hardy*, DE, Mississippi

20. Minnesota Vikings -- Percy Harvin*, WR/RS, Florida

21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Ciron Black, OT, LSU

22. Green Bay Packers -- Max Unger, OT, Oregon

23. Cleveland Browns -- Ricky Sapp, DE/OLB, Clemson

24. Seattle Seahawks -- Duke Robinson, G, Oklahoma

25. Pittsburgh Steelers -- Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU

26. New Orleans Saints -- Gerald McRath, OLB, Southern Miss

27. New York Giants -- Brandon Spikes, ILB, Florida

28. Jacksonville Jaguars -- William Moore, S, Missouri

29. Indianapolis Colts -- Vance Walker, DT/DE, Georgia Tech

30. San Diego Chargers -- Auston English, DE/OLB, Oklahoma

31. Dallas Cowboys -- Demetrius Byrd, WR, LSU

32. New England Patriots -- Brian Cushing, OLB, USC

*Denotes underclassmen

Again, this is pointless to talk about, but we are entering a very slow time in the NFL so a few thoughts:

1.    The Titans will not be picking 11th

2.    The Titans will not pick a receiver in the first round, ever.

3.    Tim Tebow will not come out early, and when he does come out he will not be the 7th pick in the draft.  He is the definition of a system quarterback.

Seriously??

First of all—this guy is a drunk fool for thinking the Titans will be picking 11th.

Do these guys not learn? Ever? How many drafts do the Titans have to go through where they do absolutely nothing that anyone expects before these “experts” get the point? And how did I not get a job as a draft “expert?” I can arrange the teams in alphabetical order and just assign a player to each one.

I guess it is something to pass the time though.

And I agree with your asessment of Tebow Jimmy. I don’t see that little fake step toward the line of scrimmage working in the NFL.

Tebow.

I think Tebow might just come out early, but it’s insane to think it right now.

Also, Vince’s arm pump while running keeps working, why wouldn’t Tebow’s fake step work?

What

I agree that the Titans will not be at 11. If they are I don’t see Vince still at QB or Fisher still with the team.

This is just away for this guy to get some additional income and keep message boards still going. Hey it works and its fun.

Have a good day.

11th?

I’m not sure if I’m more insulted by the 11th pick, or the fact that Houston picks after us.

Sorry, the Texans are firmly planted in 4th place in this division for quite some time, thankyouverymuch.

Yeah, and still not taking a WR in round 1 next year.

Why the Hell doesn't anyone ever call Tebow...

...a “running” QB? I mean, there is NO WAY he could start at UF if he didn’t run, and anyway, they use him like a battering ram down there. And sure, the guy isn’t bad, but his arm isn’t even close to all that. I mean, he’s WAY less accurate than VY, nevermind say Rex Grossman back in his glory days. Tebow’s fine for college, but seriously, he’s still a poor man’s Mike Vick. Why would anyone draft that?

Hey Jimmy!

We need to do an MCM 2009 Mock Draft. Pick w/ the same teams, but each guy has to assign all the teams to theoreticval records based on cuurent schedule. Then we vote to settle various arguments about records and playoff finishes.

And yeah, it’ll take some time, but as several have pointed out, time is something we got right now.

This is a Joke!

This entire thing by McShay is a joke. There is no way that the Titans take a WR in the 1st round!

by Thunder Jones on Apr 30, 2008 11:21 AM CDT   0 recs

WR

I think the Titans could take a WR. Last year, for example, there is no doubt in my mind that had we been in the right position that we would have taken Calvin Johnson. We are just not going to risk taking a WR that is a tier below someone like Johnson.

by DonFrancisco on Apr 30, 2008 12:34 PM CDT   0 recs

Addendum

I do not think we will be in a postion to draft someone as good as C. Johnson unless they have Randy Mossish of the field stuff, which the Titans are definitely staying away from.

by DonFrancisco on Apr 30, 2008 12:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

1st round wr?

if the titans ever did do this, i hope they would at least have the sense to draft percy harvin.
also the bears drafting tebow would make sense, since he can replace urlacher at mlb.

by rolypoly32 on Apr 30, 2008 12:36 PM CDT   0 recs

harvin

I have real questions about a guy like Harvin. He has great speed and moves well once he has the ball. Florida has found ways to get him the ball, but can he get open vs NFL DBs? (The answer may be yes I just dont think we know yet)

by DonFrancisco on Apr 30, 2008 1:36 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I agree with that question

I don’ think he is as good as Reggie Bush, and he hasn’t panned out that well yet.

bush vs. harvin

bush
YDS AVG TD LG REC YDS AVG TD LG
2003 (Fr.) 90 521 5.8 3 58 15 314 20.9 4 60
2004 (So.) 143 908 6.3 6 81 43 509 11.8 7 69

harvin
REC YDS AVG LNG TD ATT YDS AVG LNG TD
2006 34 427 12.6 58 2 41 428 10.4 67 3
2007 59 858 14.5 52 4 83 764 9.2 66 6

looks pretty similar to me. im a huge harvin fan and definitely think hes gonna be studly in the nfl (durability is definitely a concern).

and yes i know crabtree has redonkulous, maddenesque stats and i think he will be very good too. just prefer harvin (ive watched every florida game the past couple years since one of my buddies is a fan) and hes pretty sick.

O.K.

Just to let you know, there is no comparison between Harvin and Crabtree. I know first hand that Harvin is fast. Crabtree on the other hand is the whole package. He was the best WR in college football last season, hands down. Harvin is a Tedd Ginn type. Crabtree is a Larry Fitgerald type.

Crabtee against the big time programs as a red shirt freshman

Texas 9-195 2 TDs
Oklahoma 12-154 1TD
Mizzou 10-76
Virginia 9-101 1 TD

Thats just ridiculous! He won’t make it out of the top 3 picks when he decides to come out.

by Big Bad Bulluck on Apr 30, 2008 8:16 PM CDT   0 recs

like i said

i think crabtree will be very good, i just prefer harvin. hes small, but i see alot of steve smith type toughness in him in the way he runs.

i guess after the chris johnson pick though, we already have a harvin/bush type player (hopefully). him plus dingers offense should make things a little more interesting this year.

Not much better

as far as where the Titans are picking, but overall this seems a little more accurate. Everything but us picking a OT that is.

Aha

You know you’re emotionally over the 2008 draft when you begin arguing about the 2009 draft.

by numbertenox on Apr 30, 2008 10:00 PM CDT   0 recs

I AM FUMING MAD!!!!!!!!

How in the world can McShay say this? He is so off with this! The Falcons will not have the 1st pick! Maybe 31st.

by Kayne on May 1, 2008 8:34 PM CDT   0 recs

The bears would definetely take crabtree who do they have? They would have crabtree as their #1 bennett in the slot marcus monk as a #2 and then trade a second rounder for brady quinn, take guards in the second and third taht you can plug into the o line and thats a legite super bowl team for at least 4 years till urlacher retires

by msg021 on May 2, 2008 5:17 PM CDT   0 recs

Which RB will run the fastest 40 at the combine?

Isn’t that who the Titans will draft?
