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.

I think I heard some cries in the 49ers’ draft room when the Chiefs took Tyson Jackson with the No. 3 overall pick. They really wanted him.

Sure, and I agree with that prediction. I just wouldn’t dismiss them taking Crabtree. They need WRs, that’s all. If he makes it past Jacksonville, then I’ll breath easier on our chances.

No way is DHB better than Maclin. No way.
Joe Martinez: My fingers are crossed and my palms are together for you.
When it's all said and done, America will be remembered for three things: The Bill of Rights, jazz, and baseball.
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.

by youALREADYknow on Apr 25, 2009 2:04 PM PDT up reply actions
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.

So the Niners get either Raji, Crabtree or Monroe.
I’ll take it.

We’ll be opening up a new thread with the 49ers selection. I’ll post a link as soon as I get it up. I’ll throw it up with just the basic info and then edit in my own thoughts.
Wow looks like the Crabtree thing might happen.
I thought he would be gone by now. I wasn’t on the bandwagon before but if he makes it to us, I’m all for it.
I agree, I just hope he is full strength when it comes time to play
Can’t forget to mention I hope he will deliver as well.
Now it seems the question is if we're willing to take him.
Best player on the board? I’d say so. Fits an immediate need? ehhhhh. We’ll see.
yes, it's Monroe

Do we want BJ Raji?
I am not sure. I kind of want Orakpo but you think the way this is shaping up we will pick him?
Worst case with Raji
I think worst case is he’s a dominant 3-4 DE. He’s just a physical beast in the middle, but still can move kind of quick.

Neither takes snaps from under center and neither has great arm strength.

In any case, the further Everette Brown drops the more intrigued I get. He would be one of the few players who might be worth trading up for. He was a legit target at #10 and has the best pass rush moves in the draft to me.

Maclin is more explosive in the screen game. Andy Reid just got another explosive West Coast weapon.
Maclin, Jackson and Westbrook is impossible to contain for a defense.
yep
It’s going to be hard to contain all of those weapons in the short to intermediate game.
If you can send Jackson deep and keep Maclin on the short routes with Westbrook out of the backfield, then it’s game over for defenses. You can’t blitz against that kind of speed when Westbrook is the checkdown.

no way he's there
Bills would have the selection to the podium in 5 seconds.

Patriots are interesting here
I think this is going to be the last 3-4 LB off the board until round 2. That means two of Everette Brown, Clay Matthews, and Connor Barwin are probably going to be dropping to round 2.

nvm, Patriots traded pick to Ravens
Something tells me Everette Brown. He’s their kind of player and Suggs has to be re-upped or franchised next year.

And that's why
The Ravens have a winning franchise. Great value pick.

Looking good for the 2nd round
Three 1st round 3-4 OLB’s remaining and only 1 CB taken in the first round. The 49ers should be able to pick up a 1st/2nd round talent at either position.

good
Dolphins took Davis. Moves some better coverage CB’s down to the 49ers.

I dunno. You can get better at coverage, you can’t find a guy with Vontae’s speed, size and power. It’s not like Vontae doesn’t have great coverage skills he just brain farts too often.
it's more than just that
His tackling technique is horrible.
Sean Smith have the speed and size, Darius Butler has the speed and coverage skills… I’d rather have those two.

Crap, Packers just traded up
They need to fill out their 3-4 scheme. Hope it’s not Brown.

Based on NE's usual tendencies
I’m sure they’ve noticed the abundance of talent from 30-80 and will trade up to get multiple picks in that area. If so, they’ll probably have the best draft by default.

Warning
Beanie Wells is sitting right there for AZ. If they can get a RB there isn’t a hole in that offense.
Wells
Think they take him knowing he’s not going to be a threat in the passing game?
I’m sure they were pissed when Donald Brown was taken. Maybe they go for LeSean McCoy… dunno.

Bills not taking OT
Interesting. Seems like a lot of OT talent will be available in the 2nd round.
I’d still much rather have OLB/NT/CB addressed, but if you can get a 1st round tackle in the 2nd then it’s not too bad.

New thread
Opened up a new general thread for discussion of Crabtree or anything else related to the draft.
