Todd McShay's 7 Round 2009 NFL Mock Draft...

Printis going to be a pretty big let down for a lot of us ($). I mean nobody cares that this is his mock draft (along with his Scout Inc. cohorts), but how many folks here would put it past the FO to end up with a draft like this?
30. Rey Maualuga, ILB USC
62. Andy Levitre, OG/OT Oregon State
94. Michael Bennett, DE Texas A&M
130. Keenan Lewis, DC Oregon State
135. Myron Pryor, DT Kentucky
173. Vance Walker, DT Georgia Tech
203. Arian Foster, RB Tennessee (who goes on to fumble the hat they give him at the press conference)
206. Austin Collie, WR BYU
239. William Johnson, DE Michigan
242. Quinn Johnson, FB LSU
Upshots of this mock: I'm a Maualuga fan and think he can play inside or outside for us. MLB hasn't been a steadfast position for us, but Rey Rey could change that. Levetrie is the best guard in the draft and would most likely be an immediate upgrade over Amano.
Reality of this mock: OH COME ON!?!?! Not getting a WR until pick# 206, and getting a slow BYU player who is about 26 at that ( 2 year Mormon mission plus 4 years of school) sucks. Drafting 4 defensive lineman is just overkill. Even if they were all good half of them would be relegated to the practice squad because we already have depth there. And Arian Foster... I mean Arian friggin' Foster lost his job like 3 times at UT, and only got it back because the guys who beat him kept getting run-out of Knoxville for misconduct. And just to spare gramsey the heartache, lets not even get into the fumbles.

Could you possibly copy/paste the first two rounds or more?
This line will remain in my signature until the Colts draft Rashad Jennings in 2009.
Oh and I write words and stuff for Stampede Blue.

Ack!
I’m dyin’ over here…
I know that Fish likes D-Linemen, and I think McShay is trying to use that fact, but I don’t think we need, or are going to take, THAT many guys for the defensive line this year.
I would be happy
just to have Rey although I’m completely bias here since I’m from Southern Cal. We should draft Patrick Turner WR, Cary Harris CB and Kevin Ellison S from USC while we are at it :)
Only major hole I see in McShay’s mock is where the hell are the CBs at?
thoughts:
way too many bcs conference schools. we know reinfeldt likes the small schools.
we will draft a first day WR. i guarantee it.
5 d-lineman is way overkill, especially with needs elsewhere
no CB, TE, or QB. we will definitely get at least 2 of those and maybe all 3.
rey rey might happen, but i really, really doubt it,

uses ‘DC’ (defensive corner) instead of CB for some unknown reason.

as opposed to an offensive corner?
Christie kicks it high and short...Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25...He dishes it back to Wycheck...He throws it across the field to Dyson...
Crowd roaring after Suter’s goal tied it up… Preds win the faceoff and Arnott crosses the blueline, slapshot and a SCORE! Arnott blows it by Hasek and the Preds take the lead 4-3…

exactly
makes no sense… nor is CB confused with any offensive position.
Music City Miracles blogger and official Jon Bovi tour manager.
Hmmmm....
CBs or WRs anyone? How about a Center?
I’m gonna call “bullcrap” on this mock draft.
For the record, I would be pleased with Round #1. I would just hope he’d be in the future plans in ADDITION to Bulluck, as opposed to being his replacement.

He's a MLB
Rey is meant fo MLB not for the outside. He is a run stuffer who would make up for the fact that we no longer have Haynesworth clogging the middle. So no worries on him being the replacement unless one of the other USC linebackers drop to us then I’d be worried for him since he is in the last year of his contract.
Levitre is better than Duke Robinson?
from all the sites I could come up with off the top of my head and a few of the first search results I didn’t find a single site with Levitre #1 among guards (and a few had him in the 3-5 range) while the only one without Duke #1 had him at second to Max Unger who is usually listed as a center.

we won't be picking a guard in the 2nd round anyway

can't see the grades (only have espn insider on my phone)
just wondered where that came from since I hadn’t seen that before.

They have Levitre as a 82
and Duke as a 76 (and the 2nd best OG)… I’d agree that isn’t really a consensus opinion by any means.

it's funny how the offseason takes the venom out of some rivalries, and pours gasoline onto others
All season it was UGLY between MCM and SB. Now the communities seem to be getting along pretty well and it’s the Jags fans, who we hardly heard from are the ones that are all about the anti-Colts, anti-Colts fan rhetoric.

They're anti-Titans too
Even though the lead writer over there has always seemed to get along with us pretty well.
And I guess we’re saving up the hate for the season? I dunno…
yeah
i can’t wait for the season to start. ;-)
Go Titans!

MCM folks never had much of a problem with the vast majority of the SB community
we just get riled up in response to a certain writer’s hit jobs… which was kinda the intent, obviously.

i don't care who's better
nobody is going to replace Eugene as a starter in the next five years with the Titans.

Just so you know
I’m rooting for Amano as well, he’s just the guy with the least amount of job security (since Stewart, Roos and Scott all have big contracts and Mawae has more Pro Bowls than Antonio Alfonseca can count on one hand, plus Harris is in line as his replacement).
I know I write a lot about replacing Eugene, but I hope folks don’t confuse that with rooting for it!

That wouldn't be a horrible draft
as far as the first three rounds go, but the rest of the picks are a little headscratching
Cortland Finnegan is a beast
I like Maualuga...
but i’m all about taking a shot at Percy Harvin if he slides to us… which I highly doubt.
They're not gonna take Maualuga. Reese might have done that, but Rheiny won't.
Rheiny drafts guys to fit the Titans’ scheme whereas Reese had a tendancy to take they guys he personally thought were the best available.
That’s a small but substantial difference, and it explains why he and Fisher were often depicted as struggling for power within the organization. Fisher felt like Reese was getting the wrong guys for the team whereas Reese thought he was getting the right guys but Fisher wasn’t making the proper use of them. There’s obviously merit in both arguments, but in the end, Bud sided with Fisher, and now we draft for scheme.
Which is why the media tends to depict Fisher and Rheiny working “hand-in-hand” on the draft. Rheiny is gonna get the kind of guys that Fisher wants to use, and I don’t think that getting Rey-Rey fits that bill. It’s too much priority on a non-priority position.

that could always change
I mean we’ve never had a guy with Rey-Rey’s skill set either…
But, you’re right: MLB is less important than the 5th defensive back in our scheme.

with lendale, vy and alge
all most likely around only another year or so, we will have a BIG hole at the scapegoat position in the near future. foster would be great late round value to fill that need.

He'd be good at it, too.
Hell, we’re already bitching about him—and we haven’t even drafted him.
Did he even get invited to the combine?

He did but he fumbled the invitation
HIYOO!

And it looks like McShay got our memo about not drafting a WR in the first round.
Does this guy remember what he says week to week? Or does he have Hogehead?
