2009 NFL Mock Draft 2.0 – Updated March 15
| # | Team | Pick | |
| 1 | Detroit Lions (0-16) | Matt Stafford, QB – Georgia – They need so much, and though this is probably the wrong pick to make. That said, it makes it all that more likely that this will be their pick. | |
| 2 | St. Louis Rams (2-14) | Jason Smith, OT – Baylor – The releasing of Orlando Pace leaves a big hole to be filled (pun intended). | |
| 3 | Kansas City Chiefs (2-14) | Aaron Curry, OLB – Wake Forest – The Chiefs go with the “safe” pick to improve a non-existent D. | |
| 4 | Seattle Seahawks (4-12) | Brian Orakpo, DE – Texas – The Seahawks got their wide-receiver via free agency, so they focus their attention on the defense now. | |
| 5 | Cleveland Browns (4-12) | Michael Crabtree, WR – Texas Tech – With Joey J gone and Donte Stallworth facing legal woes, respectively, the team really needs a second wide-out. | |
| 6 | Cincinnati Bengals (4-11-1) | Eugene Monroe, OT – Virginia – The Bengals have one of the worst lines, and this pick would be a step in the right direction. | |
| 7 | Oakland Raiders (5-11) | Jeremy Maclin, WR – Misouri – Al Davis loves speedy wide-receivers and this kid fits that bill to a tee. | |
| 8 | Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11) | Michael Oher, OT – Mississippi – The analysts on their website like him, plus they need some youth upfront. | |
| 9 | Green Bay Packers (6-10) | Malcolm Jenkins, CB – Ohio State – The Packers have an aging secondary, Jenkins provides just the answer. | |
| 10 | San Francisco 49ers (7-9) | Brian Cushing, OLB – Southern Cal – The tag-team of Manny Lawson and Cushing would put the 49ers near the top of LB talent. | |
| 11 | Buffalo Bills (7-9) | Brandon Pettigrew, TE – Oklahoma State – A bit of a reach here, but the Bills haven’t had a good tight-end in some years, this would put the offense over the top. | |
| 12 | Denver Broncos (8-8) | B.J. Raji, DT – Boston College – The Broncos have a trend of taking Browns retreads on the d-line, this may be a move in a different direction. | |
| 13 | Washington Redskins (8-8) | Aaron Maybin, DE – Penn State – The Redskins added Albert Haynsworth at DT, but let Jason Taylor go, and that opens up a spot that needs to be filled. | |
| 14 | New Orleans Saints (8-8) | Vonte Davis, CB – Illinois – No matter who they bring in to address the the secondary they fail to live up to expectations, Davis can end that trend. | |
| 15 | Houston Texans (8-8) | Louis Delmas, S – Western Michigan – The Texans have no secondary help at all, and Delmas is the best safety in a weak class. | |
| 16 | San Diego Chargers (8-8) | Rey Maualuga, ILB – Southern Cal – Merriman and Phillips are stud OLB, who have been lacking a stub ILB to complement them. | |
| 17 | New York Jets (9-7) | Mark Sanchez, QB – Southern Cal – With Brett Farve retiring the Jets have no one to run the offense. | |
| 18 | Chicago Bears (9-7) | Percy Harvin, WR – Florida – Devin Hester and Brandon Lloyd are all they have, and Hester is more effective in limited action. | |
| 19 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7) | Everette Brown, LB – Florida State – The Bucs get lucky and find Brown this late to help fill the huge holes at linebacker. | |
| 20 | Detroit Lions (9-7, Pick via Cowboys) | Andre Smith, OT – Alabama – Smith’s combine nightmares are the Lions dream come true, franchise QB and OT in the same draft. | |
| 21 | Philadelphia Eagles (9-6-1) | Knowshon Moreno, RB – Georgia – Buckhalter is out and Westbrook is always nicked up, you do the math. | |
| 22 | Minnesota Vikings (10-6) | Alphonso Smith, CB – Wake Forest – Besides Winfield the rest of the corner-backs are less than ideal. | |
| 23 | New England Patriots (11-6) | Clay Mathews, OLB – Southern Cal – Mathews has a long linage of football greatness in his blood and I’m pretty sure that the Pats would welcome the addition | |
| 24 | Atlanta Falcons (11-5) | Tyson Jackson, DE – LSU -The Falcons need some presence on the d-line, coupled with the aging John Abraham, they could prove to be a chore for o-lines next season. | |
| 25 | Miami Dolphins (11-5) | Clint Sintim, OLB – Virginia – The ‘Phins are in need of some young linebackers to fit their 3-4 style on D. | |
| 26 | Baltimore Ravens (11-5) | Larry English, DE/OLB – Northern Illinois – The Ravens have found some steals in their history, and it just so happens they need some linebacker help this season. | |
| 27 | Indianapolis Colts 12-4) | Peria Jerry, DT – Ole Miss – The Colts have lost a ton of help on the interior d-line and it was shown in this past season, everyone ran on them. | |
| 28 | Philadelphia Eagles (12-4; Pick via CAR) | D.J. Moore, CB – Vanderbilt – The Eagles need some secondary help, ASAP. | |
| 29 | New York Giants (12-4) | Hakeem Nicks, WR – North Carolina – When your star wide-out is facing gun charges you may want to start finding his replacement. | |
| 30 | Tennessee Titans (13-3) | Evander Hood, DT – Missouri – The departure of Albert Haynesworth will be a major blow unless they address the need. | |
| 31 | Arizona Cardinals (9-7) | Chris “Bennie” Wells, RB – Ohio State – The Edge wants out and plus they always draft running-backs every year. | |
| 32 | Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) | Eben Britton, OT – Arizona – It’s easier to get into the Steelers backfield than it is Sam’s Club. Maybe the Steelers will address that fact. |
