NFL Draft: 2009 Mock Draft

The 2008 NFL Draft is behind us, but it doesn't mean we can't have a little fun and take a look at the 2009 draft. Scout.com's NFL Draft Analyst Chris Steuber releases his first 2009 mock draft and includes draft-eligible underclassmen.

The 2008 NFL Draft has concluded, and the future stars of tomorrow are preparing for their first year in the National Football League. But just because the future of more than 250 former collegiate stars has been determined, that doesn’t mean we can’t look ahead and predict the outcome of the NFL season and the destination of the top 32 prospects in college football.

The draft order in this mock draft was determined by calculated judgment on how I believe the teams will fair this season. All of the prospects in this mock draft are eligible for the 2009 draft, but just because they’re eligible, that doesn’t mean they will declare.

With that said, congratulations to the Dallas Cowboys for winning Super Bowl XLIII and to the Kansas City Chiefs for finishing with the worst record. The Chiefs are now on the clock…
