2009 NFL Mock Draft - Round 3
by Michael Abromowitz
NFL Draft Director
4/25/09

1-16 I 16-32 I Round 2 I Round 3 I Round 4 I Round 5 I Round 6 I Round 7

65.  Detroit Lions - Troy Kropog, OT, Tulane
The Lions finally get a tackle to play on the left side. 

66.  St. Louis Rams - Gerald McRath, ILB, Southern Miss.
With Will Weatherspoon moving back to the outside, an inside linebacker is needed.

67.  Kansas City Chiefs - Gerald Cadogan, OT, Penn St.
The Chiefs passed on an OT in round 1, now they get Cadogan who hopefully can be the future right tackle. 


68.  Seattle Seahawks - Sebastian Vollmer, OT, Houston
The Seahawks passed on OT in round 1, and get Vollmer who has great potential.

69.  Dallas Cowboys - Duke Robinson, G, Oklahoma
The Cowboys get great value and adds help in the inside with Duke.


70.  Cincinnati Bengals - Paul Kruger, DE, Utah
The Bengals desperately need to add pressure to the quarterback and Kruger has that potential. 

71.  Oakland Raiders - Chip Vaughn, SS, Wake Forest
The Raiders are not too happy with Michael Huff and the Raiders already released starting FS Gibril Wilson. 

72.  Jacksonville Jaguars - Andy Levitre, G, Oregon St.
The Jags help add depth to their line with the versatile Levitre who played tackle in college.

73.  Green Bay Packers - Lawrence Sidbury, DE/OLB, Richmond
The Packers add Sidbury who looks to be a perfect 3-4 OLB. 


74.  San Francisco 49ers - Rashad Jennings, RB, Liberty
The 49ers need a complement to Frank Gore.



75.  Buffalo Bills - Jason Williams, OLB, Western Illinois
The Bills lost Angelo Crowell in free agency.

76.  New York Jets - Andre Brown, RB, North Carolina St.
Thomas Jones is over 30 years old and Leon Washington looks to only be a 3rd down running back.

77.  Houston Texans - Kevin Barnes, CB, Maryland
After Dunta Robinson, the Texans lack much help at CB.

78.  San Diego Chargers - Kraig Urbik, G, Wisconsin
Mike Goff is a free agent and Urbik is NFL ready to start right away at guard. 


79.  Denver Broncos - Sammie Lee Hill, DT, Stillman

The Broncos hope Hill can play tackle in a 3-4. 

80.  Washington Redskins - Marcus Freeman, OLB, Ohio State
The Redskins pass on DE to take Freeman who will add much need help at the OLB position.


81.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Dorell Scott, DT, Clemson
The Bucs finally get their DT and its not a small, quick cover 2 defensive tackle.  Defensive coordinator Jim Bates wants a bigger guy such as Scott.

82.  Detroit Lions - Rashad Johnson, FS, Alabama
The Lions defensive backfield was horrible last season.  Johnson would allow Bullocks to move to strong safety.

83.  Green Bay Packers - Mike Mickens, CB, Cincinnati
The Packers' two cornerbacks, Charles Woodson and Al Harris, are aging. 


 

84
.  Denver Broncos - Pat White, QB, West Virginia
The Broncos use this pick they received from Chicago in the Jay Cutler trade to draft a quarterback.  The Broncos are one team that has shown a lot of interest in White at the quarterback position.


85.  Philadelphia - Sherrod Martin, FS/CB, Troy
The Eagles signed Sean Jones in the offseason, but only to a 1 year contract.

86.
  Minnesota Vikings - Sen'Derrick Mrks, DT, Auburn
The Vikings have their two starting defensive tackles facing 4 games suspensions and they lack much depth behind them.

87.  Miami Dolphins - Chris Baker, DT, Hampton
Jason Ferguson is not getting any younger at the nosetackle position.

88.  Baltimore Ravens - Jairus Byrd, CB, Oregon
The Ravens gave big money to Domonique Foxworth and even repicked up the ageless Samari Rolle, however, youth is still need at the cornerback position.


89.  New England Patriots - James Casey, TE, Rice
The Pats add more talent to their arsenal with Rice. 

90.  Atlanta Falcons - Brandon Williams, DE, Texas Tech
Jamaal Anderson has yet to live up to his high expectations.

91.  New York Giants - Cornelius Ingram, TE, Florida
The Giants add another weapon for Eli Manning.  Ingram would make a lethal tight end combo with Kevin Boss. 

92.  Indianapolis Colts - Javon Ringer, RB, Michigan St.
The Colts add another back to complement Joseph Addai, who struggled last season.


93.  Carolina Panthers - Roy Miller, DT, Texas

The Panthers really lack defensive tackle depth outside of Ma'ake Kemoeatu.



94.  Tennessee Titans - Derrick Williams, WR, Penn St.
The Titans add to a receiving corps that is lacking.

95.  Arizona Cardinals - Antoine Caldwell, C, Alabama
The Cards get Caldwell to compete with Lyle Sendlein.  


96.  Pittsburgh Steelers - Ricky Jean-Francois, DE/DT, LSU
The Steelers' starting defensive line is all over 30 years old. 

97.  New England Patriots - Chris Clemons, FS, Clemson
The Patriots continue to bolster their defensive backfield. 

98.  Cincinnati Bengals - Jasper Brinkley, ILB, South Carolina
The Bengals need to find their eventual successor to Dhani Jones who spends more time traveling the world than focusing on football.  Can you say preparing for retirement?

99.  Chicago Bears - David Veikune, DE, Hawaii
The Bears struggled last season creating a pass rush.

100.  New York Giants - Fenuki Tupou, OT, Oregon
The Giants continue to add talent and take Tupou for immediate depth on the offensive line and to possibly be a future tackle.
