****Official 2009 NFL Draft Thread****

I am pumped for the draft! However, I have to work and will miss the first few rounds. :mad: Never the less, it's a small dose of football much needed this time of the year! Woot!

Please reflect on your teams draft picks here! Keep it clean and lets have fun!

Lions....you're on the clock. :)

The draft starts at 3 o'clock this year! Good news for me, I am off at 2~! :D

"stafford sets, throws a 50 yard bomb down the left field line, calvin johnson has it - touchdown! lions go up 52-24! over the chiefs" ;)

oooooo who scored our 24? :P

Stafford got 76 mil???? From the LIONS??? What the heck were they thinking?

Sorry, I think this is a bad pick. Stafford cannot do anything worth 76 mil if the Lions defensive line stays as bad as they are!!!

tyson jackson?? really?


as far as stafford, or any #1 pick QB goes... it's much easier to be a naysayer than to have faith. i think he'll be great in a couple years if the staff plays their cards right.

Ehh...Pioli has built 3 championship teams. I don't agree with the pick...but again, he has 3 superbowl rings....I don't. I trust him.

yeah, these guys have much more knowledge than we could through just media alone..... just not expected.

a TE that will help on the OL and the best safety to hit the NFL since bob sanders... sweet!

i like this years lions draft thus far. i'm so glad we didnt just pick linemen, but actually went for the best players in the draft... not just chasing positions.

Crabtreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Same old lions get the number one pick and screw it up. there is a reason that every great qb they draft ends up sucking no line. Now I would have gone with the linebacker he was by far the best player in the draft and defesnse wins the lineback and an offensive line where what they should have gotten. Go Pittsburg thats a franchise that does it right.

I think the Packers did pretty well for themselves yesterday. Adding BJ Raji and Clay Mathews to their defense...

Been reading a lot of articles...Tyson Jackson may not be a sexy pick....but he WILL be the most consistent and immediate impact player out of the top 3 picks. He won't demand a large contract...he just wants to play football. He will open some serious holes for our LB core to make plays.

Good Job Chiefs. :salute:

I was surprised Jaguars didn't pick Crabtree! I thought it would be a great pair to Holt. A power rookie under the wing of a seasoned veteran. I just can't seem to feel out Jaguars draft pick scheme... like getting rid of Leftwhich and passing up on Quinn.

But, hey, I can't complain about Monroe. He was my top OT pick! But then, another OT on the 2nd round... dunno. I guess we shall see if they finally do something this season.

Shooooot....last year the Chiefs selected a DE from LSU with their 1st rnd pick. This year....Chiefs select a DE from LSU with their 1st rnd pick. Oh ya...we did not have a 2nd rnd pick...but our 3rd round...we pick a DT, who will most likely play the other DE in our 3-4 scheme....

....wonder if we go DL AGAIN in the 4th rnd. :rolleyes:

Nice to see the Chiefs get an OL to add some depth...and even in KC's backyard. As far as our other picks, I'd say I'm happy with them. Its nice to see them stacking up on defense. Its a best friend to a QB.

The dolphins got the second fastest CB in the draft we really needed one. 76 mil is alot of money detroit fans.

Overall, the draft was not as exciting as I expected, other than the Clev/NYJ swap for Sanchez, there were no big moves.

Oh well...at least the hype is over and we can focus on how these draft picks do!

CB's and WR's I'm happy now they just gotta pan out. I think Stafford will be the real deal Sanchez is going to be another Matt Leinart.

i hope you're right emilio.......for some reason i have good feeling about detroit's current staff - like they may actually know what they're doing.

either way, i'll always be a fan... i'd just prefer to be a less disgruntled one.

I think both Stafford and Sanchez will be busts - though if I had to pick one, I'd pick Stafford over Sanchez as far as capability. Sanchez has never impressed me.
