With the 26th Pick in the 2009 MCM Mock Draft....

....the Baltimore Ravens (represented by Titansfan_559) select....

Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina

Hakeem Nicks really showed NFL scouts what he could do at the Mineke Car Bowl against West Virginia and has continued to impress this off season. The Ravens are in need of a number one receiver for Joe Flacco as Derrick Mason turns 35 this year and Mark Clayton has never been anything above mediocre. Nicks has some of the best hands of anyone in this draft class and has the playmaking ability that the Ravens will be looking for. Also considered at this pick was CB's Alphonso Smith and Darius Butler, and LB James Laurinaitis but I feel like Baltimore really wants to improve it's anemic offense first. Plus, if their defense struggles during the year they can just have Ed Reed bend the opposing team's best player's back in half, as was their philosophy this last season.

The Indianapolis Colts are now on the clock..

Nicks is exactly whom I would have picked

as the Ravens blogger (see my recent email to you, Jimmy). However, to say that the Ravens were looking at those corners and Larinitis is out of touch. There is no way that the Ohio State LB even gets a look-see from Baltimore as he is just not a Ravens-type of guy. The only other choice at 26 based on this mock draft was the tight end from Missou, Pettigrew and even though I want Nicks as he can contibute right away, something tells me that Ravens GM, who is well known to take the best player available, and that is by far the best TE in the entire draft, Pettigrew.
