FROM MICHAEL LOMBARDI:
The 2009 NFL Draft is still over a month away, but front offices around the league are burning the midnight oil in an effort to find the best players the nation has to offer. Today, I bring to you my top ten NFL mock draft. Which players do YOU think each of these teams should be targeting?

Mike do you really think Andre Smith would be a good fit in the Raiders Zone Blocking Scheme?
Michael,
Couple questions. First why is Crabtree out of the top ten? The injury can't really effect his stock too much. Look at Jonathan Stewart from last year. Had a foot injury and went 13th still and Crabtree is a much higher prospect then he is (imo).
Also, for my Pckers, why Maybin over maybe E. Brown? Do you see them going OL if one of the big 3 drops to them? Is TT going to use this pick as leverage if Sanchez is still on the board on this pick? (Sorry, thats actually 4 questions)
Only ten picks? C'mon, man!
Do you really think the Bengals will land one of the top 2 O-tackles? Just like last year they are so predictable and any one needing a tackle will leapfrog them just like the Saints & Pats last year. What do ya think?
Guys,
Why would anyone draft a WR in the top ten anymore? That never seems to work out.
Robert Ayers in the top ten, impressive.
So, who does Crabtree fall to? If this happens I've got to think that a bunch of teams would try to trade into the #11 or #12 spots to get him. Do you think Davis could really resist Crabtree? I somehow never expected him to fall past #7.
I like the Jags / Sanchez pick. I hadn't really considered it, but it makes a lot of sense. I was thinking a more likely spot would be to the 49ers at #10, but even if the Jags don't take him, I could see others trying to trade into that spot to get him.
Packer Fans Rest Assured TT will screw this up! Remember he has had only one winning season, has made no significant moves in FA, and has only one blue chip starter albeit a QB in Aaron Rodgers. He can not afford another Justin harrell project.
Looks like the trend with mocks now is giving Sanchez to the Jags. Am I the only one who watched how masterful David Garrard was two years ago when he had a little protection? He went drive for drive with the 18-1 Pats in their playoff game, New England just knew how to work the clock better than Jacksonville. Who is the best receiver Garrard's had to work with? Matt Jones?
Also, I was unaware Ayers was big enough to be a 3-4 DE. That's where the 49ers would play him if they did in fact draft him, correct? Or is he quick enough to be a 3-4 OLB?
Goose One, you dont consider Charles Woodson(free agency), Nick Collins, Aaron Kampman or Greg Jennigs as blue chips. you must have high standards.
Robert Ayers will make Justin Smith look like Lawrence Taylor.

I cannot believe Crabtree has fallen out of the Top Ten. How could the Raiders, Jags, and 9ers all pass on him?
