The 2009 NFL Expansion Draft has begun:

We have the first pick.

I initially take a look to see if the new GM at San Antonio left us anything to play with, but he didn’t.

The top rated player is TE David LeFleur, in his 14th year.

This is largely a wrinkles convention, with a lot of players long in the tooth on the board.

Here are my options:

P Edward McConnell, one of the best young players on the board, could be a starting P for a while.
QB Tony Banks - You’d have him for two years at 5+ million each year, and not that great but something.
WR Kelvin Griffin - Just one year but a decent enough WR.
TE Rickey Garcia - One of the younger players with some potential on the board. Have him for 3 years.

I take a good player in Griffin. Perhaps he will want to resign. The Cyberhawks take TE David LeFleur.

I grab Edward McConnell now. There aren’t that many good players in the draft.

Corpus Christi takes LB Lance Madison

I grab S Russell Tuttle, of the Giants. Just one year left on his contract, but younger and has some potential for growth.

They take LB Barry Gardner. I grab TE Garcia and they take Tony Banks.

I grab old, idolized, RB Tim Biakabutaka.

They take an old washed up receiver, I take a washed up guard. They grab a washed up safety, OI take another washed up OG. They grab a 3rd LB.

After that, it’s pretty much BAP, as much as that even applies here.

Expansion Draft Recap:

1. WR Kelvin Griffin, Broncos
2. P Edward McConnell, Patriots
3. S Russell Tuttle, Giants
4. TE Ricky Garcia, Dolphins
5. RB Tim Biakabutaka, Saints
6. OG Doug Brzezinski, Eagles
7. OG Rich Tykski, Steelers
8. DT Edward Kaplan, Chicago

11. DE Mo Poston, Jaguars
12. LB Austin Deal, San Antonio
13. S Billy Joe Williams, San Antonio
14. WR Rex Hanks, Chargers
15. OT Randall Norris, Jets
16. C Mike Compton, Detroit
