My 2009 Draft All-Can't Miss Team:                                           My 2009 Draft All-Favorite Longshot Team:

Twelve Players who deserved a shot, but I couldn't find if they were given  a chance:

Dallas Cowboys: C

Team Needs:

S: (poor) Hamlin was ranked top five for strong safeties by most draft boards, but he is another big guy (6-2 214) who may not cover all that well.

WR: (poor) Manuel Johnson is injury prone and not very big or fast.  Ogletree was plagued by injuries as well, but played through them.  His 4.36 moved him up on a lot of boards.  He probably should have been drafted.

OT: (poor) Brewster is not rangy or agile enough to play tackle, may not be gritty enough to play guard.  His competition at Ball State has been questioned.  Turkovich is a gamer, but is slow with marginal athleticism.

DE: (fail) Brandon Williams was taken way too early.  Not big enough to be an every down player and not fast enough to be a 3rd down specialist.

QB: (good) McGee convinced the scouts that what he did at A&M was not indicative of his true talents.  He's big, fast and relatively nimble of body and mind. Carpenter also has decent size and feet.  He is an excellent insurance policy.

LB: (excellent) Williams, Butler and Hodge give the 'boys three of the top 20 OLBs in the draft.  Williams may be able to transition to the inside.

Other: Buehler was the top one or two kickers.  Phillips is a big, long-armed TE with decent speed and very good agility. Got both Cincy CBs?  Not sure why; both fell on boards.

C Dallas Reynolds, Brigham Young+

RB Marcus Thigpen, Indiana+

RB Walter Mendenhall, Illinois State

ILB Josh Mauga, Nevada+ (inj. pect)

SS Reshard Langford, Vanderbilt+

FB Marcus Mailei, Weber State++ (fav longshot)

CB Courtney Robinson, Massachusetts++ (fav longshot)

K Sam Swank, Wake Forest+

WR Brandon Robinson, Boston College+

Washington Redskins: D+

OT: (fail) ??? Chris Samuels is hobbled and aging.  Jansen is past his prime and Stephon Heyer is not a quintessential starter.  Inside Randy Thomas is 33-years-old.

OLB: (poor) Cody Glenn is a strong, hard-working monster man, but may lack the speed and agility to play OLB, not quite imposing enough to play inside.

DE: (excellent) Orapko is considered soft by some, but could have been the best DE in this draft.  Derek Walker, top 20, could have been drafted, has a motor, could use some more size. Skolnitsky had a substance issue, but is an intriguing small school speciman.

CB: (poor) Barnes is slight, but has tremendous feet and speed.  Very smart, but must play up to his numbers.

ILB: (average) Henson is not big or fast, decent tackler.  Probably would have been an FA.  Darrel Young is a smaller school beast with great numbers. 

OG: (fail) Not a need? See above. Edwin Williams, better suited to center with bad feet and no speed, might be switched here.

Other: Loaded up on FB-TEs: Eddie Williams is a good one. Agnone is an overrated prospect. Frischknecht is a former WR.  Lawlor is a longshot with skills.  Hafner is purely an H-back.  Also have DT covered: Antonio Dixon has good size, speed and tools, but was injury prone. Harwell moves well for a stocky guy.  Matthews is a big, athletic sleeper.  FS Lendy Holmes is so versatile he even punted. SS Allan Nelson is a speedy tackler.  WR--Mitchell, a tall flyer with a 7th pick. Jaison Williams is still falling on draft boards.  QB Chase Daniel will be battling Colt Brennan most likely for the third string spot.

Chicago Bears: A-

WR: (excellent) Iglesias was an excellent choice in the 3rd. Knox was a total steal in the 5th, world class speed and proven hands, must show he can go over the middle like a Wes Welker with speed.  Kinder is good solid depth. Peterman is a quality player and leader who may make the team on special teams.

CB: (good) Moore was top 5 on most boards, a cover and tackler with close to top end times in all the drills. Pegues was top 5 as a FS on many boards, but he has played CB, a tad slow, stiff, but with good hops.

DE: (good) Gilbert may be best suited to a switch to DE with his height and quickness. Melton is a reach, but has potential. 

ILB: (poor) Either Freeman or Rivera, both blossoming OLBs, might backup here.

OG: (excellent) Louis was super value in the 7th.  A guard so athletic he will backup TE.  Lockwood is a tough, hard-nosed FCS All-American who might surprise. Conley is another very agile OG who was recruited as TE.

C: (poor) Possible Lockwood or Conley might step in here.

Other: RBs Fenroy (4-1,000 yrd rush seasons) and Lester are small, solid runners.  Al Afalava was a top 5 SS on many boards, a late bloomer whose best ball is ahead of him.  Deleston who must switch from OLB and Charbonnet are also SS with instincts and a nose for the ball.  OLBs Rivera 4.64, 6.67 at 245 and Malast were both draftable.  FB Ta'ufo'ou is nursing a knee and leg injury but won toughness awards at Cal. 

OG Aaron Lockwood, S. Illinois+

OG Dennis Conley, Hampton+

OLB Mike Rivera, Kansas++

OLB Kevin Malast, Rutgers

FB Will Ta'ufo'ou, Cal-Berkeley+

SS-OLB Dahna Deleston, Connecticut

WR Eric Peterman, Northwestern++

RB Tyrell Fenroy, UL-Lafayette++ (fav longshot)

FS Daniel Charbonnet, Texas Tech+

RB Brad Lester, Auburn

CB-FS Derek Pegues, Mississippi State+

P Jake Richardson, Miami (Ohio)

P Chris Miller, Ball State+ (top 4)

Detroit Lions: B+

QB:(good) Stafford was the top QB available.  No other insurance?

ILB: (average) Holtzclaw took over games with double digit tackles.  Levy may see some time at ILB as well.

OG: (poor) Clif Ramsey may be best suited for tackle. Jonas is big, fast, and a perrenial all conference pick who could work in here. Gerberry may also be groomed here.

DT: (good) Hill was a top ten climber, with size, strength, and speed to play DE if needed.  Gill is a worker who won Warrior Awards, very strong and agile.

TE: (excellent) Pettigrew was the top TE.  Gronkowski is an excellent 7th rounder with Long arms, big hands who is smart, can block and  move the chains.

WR: (poor) Derrick Williams was a little reach in the 3rd, but he's a solid player with assets if not standout skills.  This one doesn't seem like it helps much.

Other: Delmas was the top FS.  Aaron Brown and Antone Smith are under-the-radar gems who could be breakout players.  OT Murtha could have gone higher with his immense size and awesome feet.  Kemme from Akron is almost a Murtha clone at a lesser program.

OT Andrew Hartline, C. Michigan

OT Dane Randolph, Maryland

OG-C Lawrence Lovell, Stony Brook++ (fav longshot)

QB David Johnson, Tulsa+

DE Ron Talley, Delaware

TE Carson Butler, Michigan

TE Brandon Ledbetter, Western Michigan

WR Jamarko Simmons, W. Michigan++

RB Tyrell Sutton, Northwestern+

WR Kole Heckendorf, North Dakota State++ (fav longshot)

DE Rhyan Anderson, New Mexico State+

OLB Cyril Obiozor, Texas A&M

Minnesota Vikings: B

OT: (average) Loadholt is considered a long-term all-pro despite his bad feet, modest strength and lack of speed.  Lepori is a marginally better athlete, but never displayed tendencies to excel.

WR: (good) Harvin's question marks about size, attitude, and intelligence nearly obscure his obvious explosiveness on the field.  Perretta is another smaller, tougher version of Harvin with perhaps more upside in attitude and football smarts.  Winford has good size and decent speed and was twice little all-american, conference MVP, and finished wirh 247 receptions and 41 TDs.

C: (good) Cooper is a solid player who could use a bit more size, but is strong and agile.  Garcia is bigger, but slower, less agile, but much stronger.  Neither is Matt Birk.

ILB: (good) Brinkley did well to return from an ACL, has size, strength, athleticism, and if his knee holds up may be a steal in the 5th round. Francois is almost as big and even faster.  He is probably best suited outside.

S: (excellent) Sanford is fast, agile, and very strong, and is the all-time SEC career tackler.  Colt Anderson is a solid pick-up, strong, great leaper with good feet who was 1^st team Big Sky 3 yrs. De'Von Hall is big, fast, very strong worker who climbed his way up the depth chart.

QB: (average) Considering Brett Favre and Sage Rosenfels might be in this mix, Sean Glennon is not a bad project with toughness and desire.

Other: CB Allen is rather small and might have been taken a tad early.  Holmes is a good athlete at DT who needs a bit more bulk, but is very fast.  RBs Ian Johnson (should have been drafted) and Kahlil Bell are both very talented, but most show they can stay healthy and run between the tackles. OG Kemp was a solid if unspectacular performer at Wisconsin.

DT Antoine Holmes, North Carolina State+

OLB Robert Francois, Boston College++

C Jon Cooper, Oklahoma++

OG-C Juan Garcia, Washington+

Atlanta Falcons: C

DT: (excellent) Jerry was top five on all boards, should have been #1. Walker is strong, but slow.

DE: (good) Sidbury was also top five, a strong, fast, active pass rusher, albeit a tad light.  Lucas is a ballplayer with just enough speed and size to let his desire pull him through.

OLB: (poor) Adkins is a bit of a gamble, a too small inside backer, who may not have the size or agility to play outside.  Christopher is built-like an outside backer, not strong or that agile, but is too slow to be effective outside.

CB: (good) Owens is very small, but will hit, and has good speed, but a definite reach taken this early.  Middleton doesn't have the size or numbers of others, but his instincts and intangibles moved him up many boards.  He was Furman Defensive MVP, led in tackles, interceptions, and even had sacks.

TE: (poor) The Falcons got Tony Gonzalez, but he is very short term.  They still should have drafted for the future.

OG: (poor) Stanchek started 48 games at LT, but his squat size and bull strength may make him a better pro OG.  Valdez is a marginally talented tackle who is probably not fast or agile enough to play OG.  Reynolds is too tall, too slow, even for OT.

Other: Moore is a big, tremendous athlete who can tackle and is also a ballhawk. WRs Kelly and Mougey offer tall targets who can also run. DeHaze had the second best FCS punting average and also made the 4th most FGs.

OT Jose Valdez, Arkansas

DE Marcus Lucas, Colorado+

QB John Parker Wilson, Alabama

ILB Brock Christopher, Missouri

WR Darren Mogey, S.D.S.U

OT-G Ryan Stanchek, W. Virginia+

WR Aaron Kelly, Clemson+

K-P Robbie Dehaze, Northern Arizona

Carolina Panthers: B+

DT: (good) Irvin is a good player who might have been available later. Marlon Favorite negotiated a very large UDFA signing bonus.  He is a strong, stocky player who must learn to excel every down to earn it.

CB: (excellent) Martin played CB and S at an all-conference level, even rushed the passer.  Munnerlyn, a short Darrell Green-type, was like a yo-yo on most boards.  He is fast, jumps well, and has great feet.  He may need 10 lbs of muscle to remain in the league.  Clark is much bigger, almost as fast and is a better ballhawk snaring 15 career interceptions.

QB: (poor) Delhomme sighed an extension, but depth is needed.  Cantwell has a lot of developing to do to be that.

DE: (poor) Brown is very fast, but too small to play every down.

WR: (average) Chery and Beavers were small college stars, but don't have the size or experience to be impact players unless it is on returns.

OG: (excellent) Robinson was the top guard on many boards.  His lack of great numbers dropped him, but he has shown the ability at the top level to be effective.  C.J. Davis has success at Pitt working with leverage and only decent feet.  Garry Williams was all SEC while at Kentucky.  His body type might work better at OG.  Cadogen was a top ten OT with good speed and great feet.  He was ranked the top undrafted player on most boards and Patrick Brown of C. Florida was a pre-season All-American candidate who played well, but doesn't have all the tools.

Other: TE Brock is inexperienced but has the size, speed, great feet and leaps to be special.  Fiammetta was the best available FB talent.  RB Goodson intrigued many, but was only a part-time player with hints he might be uncoachable.  Lee is a big, fast runner from a tiny college who might end up in CFL.  OLB Heygood was a special teams stud-depth chart climber who had over 100 tackles his senior season.  Ivy is bigger, but less athletic, may be too stiff to be effective LB.  ILB Brit Miller campaigned his name up boards until it was a surprise he wasn't drafted, reminds of a bit more gifted Spielman-type.

New Orleans Saints: C

CB: (good) Jenkins was the top player on most boards.  Reggie Jones is a fast, athletic former high jumper, triple jumper from a smaller program.  Gorrer is only 185 but will tackle and runs a 4.40, might be a FS.

S: (excellent) Vaughn is big, fast, and a definite steal in the 4th round.  See Gorrer above.

OLB: (good) Signed Jonathan Vilma, but he's been erratic of late.  Arnoux is a smart, fast 4 year veteran ILB who is smart enough to learn OLB.  Casillas needs to get healthy and improve his reads, but could be an excellent UFA.

DE: (fail) ???

DT: (poor) Signed Rod Coleman and Paul Spicer as FAs, but they are not impact guys by any means.

WR: (poor) Simon from N. Illinois and Harris from Georgia are tall, rangy college vets, but weren't difference makers on their teams.

Other: Morstead is a good player, but using a 5th round pick for not even the best punter in college is bad news.  RB Hill has DUI issues off the field and trouble keeping the injury bug from keeping him off the field.  However, Donaldson may be the gem of the group.  He's a strong, hard-running, good blocker team player who led the FCS in rushing. OL Fletcher and Parrish are smart, versatile guys who will try to fit in.

Arizona Cardinals: C-

OT: (good) Johnson is enormous, slow, with bad feet and not much strength.  He might be a guard plugger.  Pearce might be the winner here with enough size and agility to play OT.  Al-Emin fought through injuries and was a HS star at tackle, but he also might be better at OG.

RB: (good) If Wells can stay healthy, he's probably the most talented back in the draft.  Stephens-Howling was one of the most unexpected, bizarre uses of a draft pick in '09.

OLB: (good) Brown must make the transition to OLB from DE.  He has the speed, feet, and agility to do it.  Walker played both, but is more comfortable inside.

CB: (average) Toler became a flavor of the last couple weeks before the draft, a speedy, not overly big corner without much strength, but good feet, willingness to force sweeps and ballhawk.  Garvin is a tiny player with exceptional speed and return skills.

C: (poor) Canfield might be play center but is a natural guard.

TE: (fail) The Cards did sign FA Anthony Becht, but there are a lot of young TEs out there better.

Other: DE Davis is a good athlete with a lot of strength for a shade over 260.  He'll need to bulk up because his speed isn't up to OLB.  Rashad Johnson is a smart, former walk-on with good speed, feet, and cover skills who will also deliver a blow.  Justin Brown had a break out senior season as a WR, good size, strength, speed, leaps, and hands

ILB Reggie Walker, Kansas State+

OT Brandon Pearce, Memphis++

OT Khalil El-Amin, Cincinnati+

CB Michael Ray Garvin, Florida State+

WR Justin Brown, Hampton++ (fav longshot)

St. Louis Rams: B-

OT: (excellent) Smith was the best athlete available at the position and overall.  Trautwein has size and decent agility, but has a foot issue.

WR: (good) Foster is a very good athlete with speed, was on the '05 NC basketball champs.  Chaney has size and good football sense and was productive whenever he could get on the field at Oklahoma.  Byers is a little inexperienced but has good speed, is quite strong and eager to improve.

QB: (average) Null has good size and quickness, proved he was a winner who could protect the ball (48/10 TD/int ratio).  He's a project, but could surprise.

S: (poor) Rubins has very good size and is a good athlete having played WR and returning kicks.  Needs more work at safety. 

CB: (poor) Fletcher hasn't started much.  He may be better suited to play FS, but is a coachable player with good attitude, speed, and leaps.

OG: (average) Allen is very strong, massive, has a mean streak, and played in 48 games.  He's been battling a sports hernia. Feinga is a wide, slow, lazy player who does take up space.  Sanders is a technician at center, but may lack the physical tools to make the switch.

Other: ILB Laurinaitis is can't miss. DE-OLB Campbell is a smart veteran college player with great feet and non-stop hustle.  Pittman is a similar player, a bit smaller, but stronger.  DT Scott was a steal in the 4th and Newkirk was an overachieving leader at UW. FB Johnson is LB converting to FB who has won blackout awards for big hits.  Ogbonnaya is a very good prospect, a special teams stud with great hands and speed for a bigger back.

San Francisco 49ers: B

QB: (poor) Davis may be a good fit for the 49ers, but he dropped quickly on boards due to his poor play down the stretch and his apparent learning difficulties.  The 49ers also signed Damon Huard.

WR: (excellent) Crabtree was the best NCAA receiver the last two years.  If the foot heals, this will be an excellent pick.  Collins was a workhorse even at only 180 lbs.  He doesn't drop anything. 

S: (average) Taylor has good size, decent speed and feet, a good 7th rounder.

CB: (good) Lambert could have been drafted. He battled an ankle all spring, but he still showed he is speedy, has excellent feet, and is very strong for his size and uses it to force sweeps.  Word-Daniels is bigger, but almost as fast, had trouble with injuries.

OLB: (average) Long had the stuff to convert from DE, but a stress fracture in his foot, much like Crabtree will delay him.  Briggs is a small DE with 26 career sacks and tst team all-conference selections despite some team rules suspenions.

ILB: (good) McKillop should have gone much earlier.  His size, speed, strength, and smarts were tops and he was in the top ten in tackles for FBS schools.

Other: RB Coffee is a smart, fast, strong runner who needs carries, may have been taken a tad early.  Sheets should have been drafted, very fast, needs work breaking tackles.  TE Pascoe is big and can catch the ball, must block better and work on footwork.  DT Jean Francois was all over boards as a reputation for softness and lack of work ethic surfaced.  DE Pannel Egboh has very good size, speed, and desire to keep learning; his inexperience probably kept from being drafted--he was next after Cadogen for top undrafted players.  OT Boone fell on boards, but was twice all-big ten with height, long arms, and always a winner even back to HS.

New England Patriots: C-

ILB: (poor) Appleby is a big, rangy guy who could use some work on his feet.

OLB: (average) McKenzie was a good value in the 3rd.  A strong hitter with decent speed and good feet and athleticism.

S: (excellent) Chung was the top SS on most all boards.  McClinton has good size, speed and will hit, but is a bit unagile.

RB: (fail) Not the greatest class of runners, but plenty decent ones to try out.

TE: (fail) Much better class of TEs, but see above.

QB: (average) Not real big, but quite agile, Hoyer has some potential, but it didn't shine through a lot in college.  Edelman is most likely a slash or a DB-WR than a QB.

Other: DT Brace needs to stay healthy but should be a solid run stopper.  Pryor is very squat, but active.  Richard is not strong or quick or agile, but plays hard, could surprise. CB Butler is slight and shy, nursing a bad knee, but is fast. Jamar Love may be the surprisingly good pick-up, faster and bigger than Butler. OT Vollmer is an intriguing foreign born player with tremendous size and future upside the more he learns.  Bussey is a former walk-on with a work ethic who may be better at OG.  Ohrenberger is an OG known for overcoming his lack of size and natural abilities with a dogged mean determination.  WR Tate was taken way too early, very slight with a bad knee.

Other: CB-S Quin is a good sized ballhawk with speed who must step up.  McCain is small, but rose up draft charts with his agility and leaping ability.  OG-C Caldwell may be a good back-up with his versatility.  Helms is gritty, but not athletic.  OG Walker has shown potential when he finds the desire.  OT Dedrick is a veteran player with good leaps, decent agility, and has some technical skills, might end up at OG. Watkins is an enormous, slow lumberer who is hard to get around. 

Indianapolis Colts: C-

DT: (excellent) Moala didn't have his best year, but he has still has the potential.  Taylor is a strong, squat, NT-type with good enough feet to be a two-gapper. Kuntz shined late in the season as he gained confidence.  He needs some bulk, but is very nimble and tricky.  Grady is a similar player even stronger with good speed, feet, and technique.

CB: (poor) Powers is a tad short, but is strong and agile with good speed, a good hitter who's fought through nagging injuries. 

C: (poor) Lewis is a decent athlete, very strong and very versatile, has played all OL positions.  Thomas is a fat man who moves his girth well, a decent OG may not be a C.

ILB: (fail) ???

S: (fail) ???

WR: (good) Collie has decent size and is very strong with good speed and excellent hands, runs precise patterns, was 3^rd FBS Rec/G and 1^st rec yds ‘08.  Matthews was a possession receiver with good enough speed to get deep, led the FCS in rec yards/g and had 50 TDs and close to 200 catches for his career.

Other: QB Painter has as much upside through system and ability to play in pro offenses.  RB Brown is a solid player, worker and citizen, made lots of carries look like a light load.  P-K McAfee was 17/20 FGs, hit 52 ydr, 2/2 +50 and was 8^th FBS avg punt.  They also brought in P Masthay so maybe McAfee will place kick if Vinatieri ages badly.  Cloherty must learn FB, but has good size, speed and strength, is already a good blocker with great feet. Pestock is a 6-7 300 guard who can also play OT.

OLB Tyrell Sales, Penn State

OT-OG Cornelius Lewis, Tennessee State++

P Tim Masthay, Kentucky

Jacksonville Jaguars: A

WR: (excellent) Thomas was a fine 4th round pick.  A guy who can be a possession receiver, a deep threat, and return kicks.  He reminds of the Jags' Steve Smith.  Dillard is a bit bigger but much the same sort of all-around player, perhaps even a better receiver.  Underwood is a former triple jumper who has even better agility as the tiny duo, but has even more agility.

OT: (excellent) Britton is the OT left out, the one with the chip on his shoulder because of it.  A smart, feisty, giant who lets no one cross his ground.  Monroe is a sham in comparison, but many evaluators still believe he has the makings of a great OT.  What a pair of bookends to run and pass behind.

ILB: (poor) Russell or Allen might be able to play inside, but are very adept at OLB. Williams, a DE, is big and strong enough to play inside with very good feet, leaps, and athleticism.

DT: (good) Knighton was not consider enough of a junkyard dog to be a top choice.  The Jags liked his athletic speed and intelligence.  He needs to heal a bad wrist.  Hypolite got double-teamed all year, a smart, strong, stocky guy with very good feet who never gave in.  Abdallah was a part-timer who played some DE, was unstoppable in workouts, 6-4 292, inexperienced, but still learning.

RB: (excellent) Jennings was an amazing pick in the 7th. Legitimately was probably the 3rd best back in the draft. Strong, athletic with good hands, speed, feet, and hops, was 5^th FCS rushing.  Bolen is a good enough runner to be a tailback, but a good enough blocker with enough size to be a FB.  Bell is a similar combination, maybe even a better runner as he is the HS rushing for the state of CO.

OG: (poor) Newton is versatile enough to pay some OG, but is a very good center.

Other: CB Cox was taken too early.  He may be better as an FS.  Ittersagen was Defensive Player of the Year, a whale of a tackler and is also adept at returns.  Lewis is a former track man (4.34) who's inexperienced, but improving.  TE Miller is an athlete who was an outstanding running-throwing QB who will be asked to play TE.  Lorenzen is being asked to try the same thing.  QB Brown may be asked to slash.  Desormeaux may play end up playing S, but has ## for QB.  DE Jeremy Navarre is very strong, has good feet, played some DT.
