NFL Draft review

Here is my review of the 2009 drafts winners, losers, and shockers. Many teams were able to fill multiple needs while owners continue to corupt their franchises....cough..cough...Al Davis...cough..cough. Their were also players who fell much further then many expected along with many reaches.

First lets start off with the winner of this years draft. The biggest one I think was the Eagles. They had two 1st rounds picks. One of these picks were used in a trade to acquire Pro Bowl tackle Jason Petters who might be the best at his position in the NFL. The second was used to get the 2nd best reciever in the draft, Jeremy Macklin. He should have gone in the top ten but fell to 19th overall.

The loser was very easy to pick thanks to Al Davis for another questionable draft. With Michael Crabtree (might have been the best player in the draft), and Jeremy Macklin available the Raiders went with Darious Hayward-Bey. He was about the 4th best reciever in the draft, and was picked just because he has great speed and has decent size. This guy got honorable mention not in all of NCAA but his own conference! For their second round pick they got a saftey, Michael Mitchell from Ohio (Yes Ohio, didnt forget the State). He was a guy who would have been available at least by the 4th round if not later.

Yes there were many guys that were taken much higher then they should have been there was one player who slipped much later then projected. Michael Johnson was a DE from Georgia Tech who was projected to be drafted in the early 1st round but slipped all the was to the 3rd round. He was thought to be undersized by some, and had some attitude problems.

This was another exicting draft that was full uf surprises. Many teams took care fo their needs, while some failed to. Hopefully next years draft was as good as this years and not be so long.
