2009 Draft Class

In my opinion this years draft class is very weak compared to recent years. I dont see any of this years quarterbacks to come out and be rookie stars like Joe Flacco who led the Ravens in the playoffs and Falcons standout Matt Ryan who also led Atlanta in the playoffs. The projected first pick of the draft is Georgia quarterback Mathew Stafford to the Detroit Lions. I dont think that Stafford has the capabilities to bring the Lions back to a winning season anytime in the near future and that they would be better off looking for a proven quarterback already in the league. Other notable quarterback in the draft are Mark Sanchez from USC and Graham Harrel of Texas Tech. Im excited to see how this years wide receivers turn out in the NFL in the future. Im most excited to see Texas Techs Michael Crabtree who won the award for best receiver this year and last year. Also speed demons Percy Harvin and Jeremy Maclin, who is also a return threat on special teams. I think that Jeremy Maclin will have a better chance of succeeding because he is bigger than Percy Harvin who has greater speed but is very small. However im not very excited about the runningbacks of this draft class either. The two most notable runningbacks of the draft are Georgias Knowshon Moreno and Ohio States Chris Beanie Wells. Although both of these runningbacks were very good in college i dont know if they have what it takes to be great professionals and people you can build your team around.
