2009 NFL Draft: Day 1, Thread 1

And away we go. We've gotten the new jerseys (feel free to continue the discussion in that thread) and now it's time to get some players to fill those jerseys. The draft kicks off at 1pm pacific/4pm eastern and if you don't have access to a tv, NFL.com will have a live stream of the draft.
We've been discussing this day from pretty much the moment the 2008 season ended. There was some reasons for disappointment and some reasons for excitement. Either way, the Draft is a day when every team has a chance to get that next big impact player that will change the face of the franchise.
The 49ers have done some very good things in the draft and some VERY BAD THINGS. Although I think there is a certain number of players considered above the rest, it's still been a fairly unpredictable mock season. The 49ers could be looking at anyone from Michael Oher and Brian Orakpo to Mark Sanchez and Aaron Maybin. Maybe Michael Crabtree, B.J. Raji or Andre Smith fall to them at 10, or maybe they just deal that pick. In the end, it's pretty hard to figure anything out. However, I think those cover all the likely options.
We've got several scouting reports for you to check out if you're looking for info on a certain player. Additionally, heading on over to Mocking the Draft for some truly extensive NFL Draft coverage. They've done a large number of quick hitting scouting reports on an assortment of players. More importantly, SB Nation got a pair of press passes for The Sports Guru and JasonB so we'll hopefully we'll get some 49ers-specific insight from them.
Depending on how quickly this thread fills up, we'll be back with a new thread when the 49ers make their selection. In the meantime, after the jump we've got a compilation of first round mocks from the various writers/moderators here at Niners Nation, as well as one for Dumb Luck and Bonzo the Idiot Monkey's picks.
Finally, if you feel you might get depressed rather quickly during the draft, feel free to take part in the Mel Kiper drinking game (courtesy of MinerNiner). It's a sure-fire way to drown your sorrows.
FOOCH'S NOTE 1:25PM: If you're swinging by the site for the first time, feel free to register and join in the discussion. It's free and it's easy. It's gonna be a crazy day for everyone today.

trade value chart
# 5 = 1700 pts
# 17 = 950 pts
# 52 = 380 pts
so if the 3 players were worth 370 pts, which equals the 53rd pick, then the trade was even.

All DHB can do is run. He doesn’t return kicks, he doesn’t run routes and he doesn’t make tacklers miss. Maclin is fast and can do those other things. I watch a lot of ACC and Big 12 football and Maclin is definitely a more impressive player.

run routes?
Have you seen Missouri football? Coffman is the only player on that team who runs routes.
Maclin is not going to have success across the middle in the NFL and he’s not a polished route runner.
Heyward-Bey runs some pretty good routes and played in a somewhat pro-style offense. His QB was garbage as well.

I don’t dispute the QB issue at Maryland and it wouldn’t surprise me if Maclin isn’t as good route runner as I remember. However, DHB just isn’t a good all-around WR. He is not a good route runner. Or at least he wasn’t at Maryland. I just can’t remember many times where he was open on a route other than a go.

It makes no sense. I mean, it makes perfect sense (ie, Al Davis is dumb). But the guy isn’t a good route runner and he disappeared for long streches of games. Also, he doesn’t return kicks or punts and who knows how he’ll react to running routes over the middle.
