SB Nation Writers Mock Draft 2009: Top 5 Picks Recapped

The top 5 picks are in, and already people are doing what is most fun during mock draft madness: Second guessing!

1. Detroit Lions: Aaron Curry, OLB, Wake Forest

Drafter: SeanYuille

Mocking Dan's Thoughts: If he is indeed the team's choice, Detroit will immediately have one of the best linebacking trios in the NFL.
2. St. Louis Rams: Jason Smith, OT, Baylor

Drafter: VanRam

Mocking Dan's Thoughts: Of all the teams at the first round, Smith fits best with St. Louis where he'll still be able to use his finesse.
3. Kansas City Chiefs: Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia

Drafter: Chris

Mocking Dan's Thoughts: The only thing making this questionable is putting Monroe on the right side.
4. Seattle Seahawks: Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia

Drafter: John Morgan

Mocking Dan's Thoughts: This is a solid pick because he'll get to sit behind Hasselbeck for at least a year and learn.
5. Cleveland Browns: Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas

Drafter: Chris Pokorny

Mocking Dan's Thoughts: The success of this pick boils down to whether or not Orakpo has the agility to play linebacker. I'm not completely certain he does.

My thoughts...

if I’m the Lions I sign Jeff Garcia or Byron Leftwich and use all my picks on building the core of this horrible team. Wait for next years QB’s to come out. Curry is a nice pick…but I might go OLine like the Phins did last year.

Browns pick doesnt make sense to me….if i’m them I trade down as much as I can..maybe to the Eagles. I just dont see a LB making the Browns that much better.

Seahawks pick makes sense….

Baylor player at #2, lol/…doesnt look right.
