Welcome to the 2009 Draft! Live from some satellite of New Orleans spun off into the depths of the North Carolina mountains! I'm your host, MtnExile, because Saintsational Dave is busy doing some wedding stuff involving mourning for his lost freedom, or something along those lines. Anyway, this is enough introduction.
Here's what we're gonna do. Below is a table showing the current draft order of the first round, with the players assigned to each team in the Canal Street Chronicles Mock Draft. We're going to update each choice with the real selection, as it's made, giving everyone the chance to mock...us.
Plus, you can talk about other stuff by adding a comment. Just like normal. You can probably tell I've never hosted one of these events before. I can hear stujo going, GAAAAAA!!!

With the 1st pick in the draft, the Detroit Lions choose... So the Lions actually pulled the trigger on Stafford. This is going to send ripples through the entire CSC mock. On the other hand, it may be good news for the Lions. Little known fact: when Bobby Layne was traded to Pittsburgh, he said Detroit wouldn't have a winner for another fifty years. People now consider it a pretty effective curse. Well, it's been fifty years. Can Stafford be the second coming of Layne? Maybe...considering that they both came out of Highland Park High in Texas. |

Predicted CSC Mock Draft pick: Jason Smith |
||
|
|
||
|
With the 2nd pick in the draft, the St. Louis Rams choose... Smith didn't drop very far, did he? The CSC Mock Draft, however, continues to sink. |
|
|
Predicted CSC Mock Draft pick: Michael Crabtree |
||
|
|
||
|
With the 3rd pick in the draft, the Kansas City Chiefs choose... Well well well. Keyshawn Johnson was right: the Bill Parcells philosophy of building a team from the inside out, starting with the line, prevails under new GM Scott Pioli. |
|
|
Predicted CSC Mock Draft pick: Aaron Curry |
||
|
|
||
|
With the 4th pick in the draft, the Seattle Seahawks choose... The replacement for Julian Peterson, and also for Eugene Monroe, making us 0-4. |
|
|

|
|
Predicted CSC Mock Draft pick: Brian Orakpo |
||
|
|
||
|
With the 6th pick in the draft, the Cincinnati Bengals choose... Typical of Cincinnati to take the worst of the bunch. Oh well...let the name of B.J Raji be stricken from all obelisks and monuments... |
|
|
Predicted CSC Mock Draft pick: B.J. Raji |
||
|
|
||
|
With the 7th pick in the draft, the Oakland Raiders choose... Al Davis takes the fastest receiver. Wow. Big surprise. Where's the "tongue firmly in cheek" icon? |
|
|
Predicted CSC Mock Draft pick: Michael Oher |
||
|
|
||
|
With the 8th pick in the draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars choose... We almost had a chance to get half a check if they'd just picked a wide receiver. But hell...can't argue with this kind of pick. |
|
|
Predicted CSC Mock Draft pick: Percy Harvin |
||
|
|
||
|
With the 9th pick in the draft, the Green Bay Packers choose... Well, they needed a 3-4 nose tackle as much as an outside rusher. Another X. |

With the 21st pick in the draft, the Cleveland Browns choose... Wow! After all that, they reach for Alex Mack. Oh well...he's a good center. Cleveland, by the way, is doing exactly what I had hoped we would do: they're stockpiling picks galore. |

Predicted CSC Mock Draft pick: Knowshon Moreno |
||
|
|
||
|
With the 22nd pick in the draft, the Minnesota Vikings choose... A lot of drugs going around in the war rooms today. |
