The Draft has come and gone. And while I'm a bit disappointed in my performance as far as my mock goes, I am definitely pleased with the Hawks' results. I thought I would wrap up my 2009 Draft coverage with a brief look at each of the picks.
1 - Aaron Curry
I love this pick. We got arguably the best player in the draft and a player who can start immediately. It looks like this may force Leroy Hill out, which is the only negative thing I can find with this pick.
Grade: A
2 - Max Unger
Another great pick. I would have been happy if we had used our original 2nd round pick on Unger, but instead, we got Unger and a 1st round pick next year for our 2, 3 and 4 this year. Great move. As mentioned previously by Matt, the pick should be a Top 15 pick. Unger has the ability to start right away, but I'm not sure if he will. I think I'd rather have him in there at C or either G position over the guys that played there last year. If you need to know any more about Unger, just ask Bobby Bateman.
Grade: A (when considering the trades involved)
3 - Deon Butler
I don't know a ton about Butler, but I think it looks like a good pick. The Hawks must be sold on him since they traded back into the third round to take him. I wonder how he will fit into the rotation at receiver.
Grade: B
6 - Mike Teel
I'm pretty excited about this pick. I mentioned in my mailbag column that Hawks should make this pick. I think he's the perfect QB to have as a developmental player. He needs to work on his consistency and decision-making, but I think he could be a starter in 4 or 5 years. Plus, he was picked in the 4th round and came from a northeast college.
Grade: A (eventually you'll all agree)
7 - Courtney Greene
Scouts Inc says: "Greene is a tough, in-the-box safety. He flashes ability to deliver a big hit on occasion. However, he is inconsistent tackling in the open field and his ability on the back end is suspect."
Sounds like a Seahawks safety to me.
Grade: B-
7 - Nick Reed
Not sure how he'll fit in on the roster, but maybe he can play on special teams. He's a bit undersized. Two Oregon players in one draft. I would have rather had them take Rashad Jennings (RB, Liberty), but figured Ruskell wouldn't take a guy from from a small school like that.
Grade: C
7 - Cameron Morrah
I think this was a good value pick this late in the draft. He's an athletic tight end and might make the team as another pass catching threat to complement Carlson. It sounds like he needs to work on his blocking though.
Grade: B-
Overall Grade: A
I think this draft sets the Hawks up for a Super Bowl run and likely win this year.
In closing, let me say that I've enjoyed my time as a poster on HCM. Thanks to the founders for bringing me on to provide draft coverage to the Mustacheers. I'll see you all next January.

I Wanna Mock
In the words of Adam Fard: you want it, you got it! Here is my mock draft for rounds 2 - 7.
I will have some updates for Round 1 as well as Pete's Players to Watch in the next few hours leading up to the draft. But for now, enjoy the full mock.
Round 2
1 (33) Lions - Beatty, William OT 6'6" 307 Connecticut

If he’s still here I think he would be too good of a value for the Hawks to not take him. Although I'm not sure if Ruskell considers UConn a big enough school for him to draft one of their players.

NFL Draft Mailbag (or See Me, Teel Me)
So I got some great questions from my fellow Mustacheers about the upcoming draft. I was able to use all but two questions (one because it didn't make any sense and one because it was tasteless). Enjoy!
Hey Pete-o how's it hangin' bro? Just wondering, if we really are throwing up "smoke screens" to try and lure a team to trade with us what can we expect for that 4th pick?
I mean I know the Broncos want a QB and they have the 12th and 18th pick, I'm doubting we could get both, but what do you think?
-Erik (Culver City, Ca)
The more I think about it, the more I realize that the smoke screen would benefit the Chiefs. If people think we’re going for Sanch, then they would need to get ahead of us. I don’t think the Broncos will want to give up their first rounders. They’re switching to the 3-4 and could really use a couple of guys on defense to help the transition. Raji might slip to them at 12 and then they could get a rush LB like Larry English or Everrette Brown (if he slips a bit) at 18. I’ve heard the Redskins mentioned as a team that might try and trade up. Apparently Jason Campbell isn’t the player they thought he’d be. The Skins don’t have a 2nd round pick, so I’m not sure they have what it takes to move up to #4. The trade up will most likely happen at #8 if Sanch is still available.
I've heard rumors of a list created in the past... the PPTW list? Will this list be made available to the Mustacheers before the draft?
Finn, Seattle
Yes, Pete’s Players To Watch is always completed very close to Draft Day if not the morning of the Draft. I will try and have it posted by Thursday. The list usually includes players that I am interested in following and guys I’d like to see the Hawks take.
Hey Guru,
Here are some questions:
What players with Northwest ties will make an impact in the league?
Will John Brockman be a good tight end?
Do the Seahawks need to draft a lineman that high with a switch to zone blocking?
Matt
Sent from Everett, Washington, United States
Please note that the following answers were not directly copied from any websites. For Northwest players, Max Unger (C) and Patrick Chung (S) from Oregon should come off the board in the early second round. Unger should have an immediate impact because of his versatility. He can play almost any spot on the line. Brandon Gibson is the best product from a Washington college this year. I read somewhere that Jeff Fischer loves him, so maybe look for him to go to the Titans at the end of Round 3 or 4. He could compete for playing time since they don’t have a great set of receivers. A few Central Washington guys could get picked late, Mike Reilly (QB) and Jared Bronsen (TE).
Brockman seems like he could be a good tight end, but I think he’s transferring to Michigan to compete for the QB job.
I think even with the switch to zone blocking, having a talented tackle is always good. But you’re right, they might be able to grab some guys in later rounds who can fit into the new scheme (I’ll try and get some names together and probably have them in the previously mentioned PPTWs).
I'm no jerk. I realize Hasselbeck is getting up there in age (even though I think he's got a few more good years in him). So it does seem like drafting a QB sooner than later would make sense. However, I'm not really sold on either of the top two ranked dudes. Who are some QB's we might take a look at in the later rounds that could be diamonds in the rough? (ala Tom Brady, Aladdin, or most importantly Matt Hasselbeck)
Thanks Draft Guru Pete... love the work!
Finn, Seattle
-Sup Big man? Yo, I've been thinking, it seems like a lot of great QBs end up being drafted in the 3rd round or later. Who do you think could be a sleeper prospect in this year's draft?
Andy (Westlake Village, Ca)
Looks like a couple guys on the same wave length here. Good to see the support from Andy out in Westlake Village. I definitely agree that Matthew some quality years. Some potential later round guys are Brian Hoyer (Mich St), John Parker Wilson (Alabama), and Stephen McGee (Texas A&M). Charles Davis on NFL Network especially likes JPW. A guy that I haven’t been hearing much about is Mike Teel from Rutgers. A knock on him is that he was pretty inconsistent this year. He finished pretty strong though. I took a look at his numbers compared to Wonderboy Stafford and they’re almost identical.
Teel: 243/396 3418 yds 61.4% 25 TD 13 INT
Staff: 235/383 3459 yds 61.4% 25 TD 10 INT
Granted, one guys plays in the Big East and one plays in the SEC, so the competition level is a bit different. But those are pretty decent numbers put up by Teel. Luckily, I still had the Papajohns.com Bowl saved on my DVR so I could watch some tape on Teel. I liked what I saw. He showed pretty decent arm strength, although not great accuracy on throws deep and to the sidelines. His only interception was on a tipped ball (although not a great throw to begin with). I was very impressed with his accuracy on throws over the middle in the 10 – 20 yard range, because he was finding the soft spots in the zone. He handled pressure pretty well during the game by getting rid of the ball and even completing a pass when getting drilled on a blitz. Shaun King (color commentator for the game) said the thing that impressed him most was his command of the offense. He was making some changes at the line; he lined up under center more often than not; and he might be going bald. Also, Rutgers won the game. He led them to a late go-ahead score and played better in the 2nd half. I came away from it thinking that Teel would be a great pick for the Hawks in the 6th or 7th round. Scouts Inc gave him a 30 rating. He should not be rated that poorly and should not be rated lower than Graham Harrell. Harrell has a weak little arm, Teel does not. Stick Teel on the bench as our #3 and let him develop. Maybe he sucks, maybe he develops into Hasselbeck.
Who the hell do you think you are?

I think I'd be a pretty big jerk if I missed the draft party (details posted below).
See everyone there. Updated Mock should be out tomorrow night.

I would like to do a draft mailbag. Please send me any questions you have regarding the upcoming NFL Draft.

Sanch a Hawk?
Todd McShay has updated his mock draft and has the Seahawks taking Mark Sanchez. Does he have inside sources? Maybe so. But I'm hoping the Hawks are just throwing up some smoke screens to generate some trade interest. Sanch has been shooting up draft boards, so maybe someone who wants him would try and go all the way up to 4.
I guess I would feel OK with us taking Sanch. If he's as good as people think he is, and could be a franchise QB, then we should take him. Chances are we won't be picking this high again for a long time. This would be the one chance we have to take a "franchise" QB. I'm just not convinced he will be as good as advertised.
I would love to hear how my fellow Mustacheers feel about this potential situation.

Clean Sanchez Impresses at Pro Day
Mark Sanchez and the rest of the Trojan draft hopefuls put on a show for the scouts today at USC's Pro Day. From what I've heard Sanchez had an amazing showing. He looked good with his footwork, drops, accuracy, and arm strength. He also showed some poise when the Lions' coaching staff hijacked the end of his workout and asked him to throw some more routes. Apparently he nailed all of those throws too. Most are saying his Pro Day was more impressive than Stafford's. Mike Mayock noted that, although Sanch doesn't have the arm strength of Stafford or Josh Freeman, his arm strength is comparable to Matt Ryan's. Mayock went on to say that he thinks Sanch is the safest pick of the 3 QBs, which is odd considering he has the least starting experience.
We'll see if this generates more buzz in the coming weeks, but it looks like the #1 QB race could, in the words of NBA Jam, be heating up.
Personally, I would rather have Sanch than Stafford. If for no other reason than the fact that I would get to keep using the nickname "Sanch."

Hello World
Well it's great to finally be a contributor to this wonderful blog. I was so excited that I left work at 3pm so I could make this post. I would like to thank the creators for giving me this opportunity to share my thoughts, findings and opinions on all things surrounding the greatest 2 days in sports (not counting the first two days of the NCAA Tournament). Poeple might be wondering why they should care what I have to say. First off, that's rude and uncalled for. Secondly, let me give you a run down of why people consider me an expert:
- I have watched over 6 NFL Drafts
- I plan on watching this next one
And thirdly, I have agreed to an exclusive deal with this blog. That means this is the only site on the Internet that I will allow to publish my 2009 NFL Draft material.
Over the next couple months leading up to draft days, I will provide you with mock drafts, Senior Bowl and Combine thoughts, mailbags (if people send me questions), and chats (most likely with made up questions from fake people).
So buckle up. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go make my number 1 draft pick...an ice cold Miller Lite.
