Who Is Your Number 1 Pick?
 

You are the GM - Assuming the Draft is in this order and the player hasn't been picked ahead of your team, who do you pick?<TABLE cellSpacing=1 border=1><TBODY><TR><TD bgColor=#0033cc colSpan=4>2009 NFL Mock Draft</TD></TR><TR><TD bgColor=#c0c0c0>Team</TD><TD bgColor=#c0c0c0>Pos </TD><TD bgColor=#c0c0c0>Player</TD><TD style="WIDTH: 385px" bgColor=#c0c0c0>Comments:</TD></TR><TR><TD></TD><TD align=middle>1</TD><TD>QB, Mathew Stafford, Georgia (JR)</TD><TD style="WIDTH: 385px">The Lions finally have a QB to build around.

Sorry about the links/advertisments (I tried to delete them)

Re: Who Is Your Number 1 Pick?
 

I don't really know much about Stafford since I haven't seen him play, but the Lions NEED a QB.

It is really weird seeing the Bills so low in the draft order :P

Re: Who Is Your Number 1 Pick?
 

Disagree with the Packers pick.

Re: Who Is Your Number 1 Pick?
 

I would love for the Redskins to get Selvie. That would be fantastic. Or a Malcolm Jenkins at CB to replace and aging Shawn Springs. (since he would be gone perhaps Alphonso Smith)

Re: Who Is Your Number 1 Pick?
 

Although I'd hate to waste the 1st pick on receiver, Crabtree is about as close as I can see to a can't miss NFL'er. This class looks weak at this point.

Re: Who Is Your Number 1 Pick?
 

Kenny Britt? He has the size, hands, and good speed to be a very effective NFL WR.

Re: Who Is Your Number 1 Pick?
 

So who won the NFC North according to this mock draft?

EDIT: Nevermind --- was under the impression that playoff teams pick after non-playoff teams. Looks like the order is determined by winning percentage, with whether or not you make the playoffs being a tiebreaker.
