Welcome to Gaia! ::

is there a limit to how many posts with picks we can make? or do we just get one guess with the 15 picks?

1. Detroit Lions - Matthew Stafford
2. St. Louis Rams - Jason Smith
3. Kansas City Chiefs - Eugene Monroe
4. Seattle Seahawks - Michael Crabtree
5. Cleveland Browns - Aaron Curry
6. Cincinnati Bengals - Andre Smith
7. Oakland Raiders - Jeremy Maclin
8. Jacksonville Jaguars - Mark Sanchez
9. Green Bay Packers - Tyson Jackson
10. San Francisco 49ers - Brian Orakpo
11. Buffalo Bills - Brandon Pettigrew
12. Denver Broncos - B.J. Raji
13. Washington Redskins - Aaron Maybin
14. New Orleans Saints - Malcolm Jenkins
15. Houston Texans - Brian Cushing

i hope that the Texans can trade up to somewhere in the top 7 to get either Crabtree, Maclin or Sanchez. i want them to see if they can trade schaub. houston has a system offense and i wouldnt love anything more than to trade schaub and a few later picks to get Crabtree in the 1st and Graham Harrell in the 3rd. Just imagine Andre Johnson and Michael Crabtree on the same field all season. lol i wish

heres my in-depth mock draft 2.0 i did yesterday

1 Detroit Lions-Jason Smith OT Baylor
alot of people have them taking stafford or Monroe, I dont think they will take stafford because Cullpepper can get them through the season, and the tremendous depth at QB next year

2 St. Louis Rams-Aaron Curry OLB/DE Wake Forest
Steve Spagnolo wants to reproduce what he had in NY, why not start with the best player in the draft. Curry could play OLB or be a potential replacment to Leonard Little, and their will be plenty of OTs avalible when the rams pick in round 2

3 Kansas City Chiefs-Eugene Monroe OT Virginia
Eugene and Branden Albert made up the best left side of an OL in the country last year, and why not repeat or book-end these guys, also Brian Waters is nearing the end of his carrer, so why not nove albert to guard and eugene at tackle like they did in college
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2009/profiles/eugene-monroe?id=71401

4 Seattle Seahawks-Matthew Stafford QB Georgia
Matt hasselbeck's play has been very dismal and he is also getting up there in age, so draft Stafford and let him learn under hasselbeck for a year then unleash him on the NFC West, they will not draft a DT due to the trade for cory redding.

5 Cleveland Browns-Brian Orakpo
The Browns are in dire need of some pressure and who better than Brian Orakpo to apply it, they relesed Willie Mcginest, so Orakpo can not just replace him but be an improvment.

6 Cincinnati Bengals-Andre Smith OT Alabama
Carson would kick marvins a** if they did not make this pick, Carson is desperate for protection, some people say crabtree, but they still have chad and the got lavernius coles, enough for carson to work with if he has some time, which is why they need a tackle.

wahmbulance SUPRISE PICK wahmbulance 7 Oakland Raiders-Darrius Heyward-Bey WR Maryland
Darrius ran the fastest 40 in the combine with a 4.3 flat, Heyward-Bey has the Speed and size that Al Davis Drools over.

8 Jacksonville Jaguars-Michael Crabtree WR Texas Tech
How can you pass this up, the jaguars released Porter, Williams and Jones at WR and the best WR in the draft fall in their laps
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2009/profiles/michael-crabtree?id=71269

9 Green Bay Packers-Malcolm Jenkins CB Ohio State
Woodson and Al Harris are both in there 30's, they need a new CB to fill the gap especially going against Cutler twice a year
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2009/profiles/malcolm-jenkins?id=79848

10 San Fransisco 49ers-Mark Sanchez QB USC
Lets face it, shaun hill is not the QB of the future, Sanchez is from California, and i have a hunch that he can thrive with vernon davis. Keep him on the bench for a year and let him loose on the west (Deja Vu from #4)
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2009/profiles/mark-sanchez?id=79858

11 Buffalo Bills-Aaron Maybin DE/LB Penn State
The Bills have no pass rush, especcially with schobel having durability issues, Maybin is can be a force at DE or LB
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2009/profiles/aaron-maybin?id=80433

12 Denver Broncos-B.J. Raji DT/NT Boston College
The big man only falls due to his failed drug test, but he owns that inside force the broncos have been craving for years, they could trade up tp get Sanchez or trade down to get freeman, but it seems that McDaniels likes orton alot, but they may draft a QB in Later Rounds
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2009/profiles/b.j.-raji?id=79631

13 Washington Redskins-Everette Brown DE Florida State
Loss of Jason Taylor, Carter is old, and griffen is old, they need to introduce some youth to the D-Line also to complement Haynesworth NFC East Watch Out
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2009/profiles/everette-brown?id=71227

14 New Orleans Saints-Brian Cushing OLB USC
He is an excellent Complement to Vilma and Peyton has fallen in love with USC defenders after Sedric Ellis last Year, with the additions of Sharper and Greer the saints Defense has become a force to be reckon with.
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2009/profiles/brian-cushing?id=80421

15 Houston Texans-Chris Wells RB Ohio State
Steve Slaton Played Great last Season, but he had no one to give him a break, Wells is a power Runner who ran a 4.4 at his pro day. a 235 lbs man running a 4.4, now thats scary, the texans adressed their need at DE by signing Antonio Smith.

Stupid Raiders decided to pick Hayward-Bey and that destroyed some of my draft.
