Introducing 2009 Sports Blog Nation Mock Draft

by Josh Kirkendall on Mar 19, 2009 4:37 PM EDT in Around the SB Nation

All 32 teams under the Sports Blog Nation banner will be conducting a mock draft, which of course means that CincyJungle.com will represent the Bengals selection (isn't that like the most obvious statement of 2009?).

The mock draft will be held at Mocking the Draft, and begin on Monday, March 23. We'll be conducting a two-round draft, with three picks held per day -- no trades included. Our first-round selection will take place on March 24, and our second-round selection on April 4.

Last year, if you were with us, we ran a community oriented selection. I didn't make the pick on my own, we all did. Personally, I'm not sure how we'll do it; just debating it in the comments or if we'll run a poll. We'll figure that out when we get there, but on those two days, I'll need you guys to hang around once the draft selections are made for other teams, we can go back and forth on which remaining players we should examine and select. Our selection will be based on the consensus of the community, rather than my opinion alone -- unless y'all pick wide receiver or running back, then I'm going offensive line. Kidding.

And just so you know, last year, I selected Keith Rivers and Pat Sims in my first two rounds, while almost drafting DeSean Jackson.

Jonathan Luigs is a Ghiaciuc clone stay away! I’d rather have Caldwell (in the 3rd) as he is a tough trench fighter, a sort of player well suited to live in the AFC North.

Personally i would get BPA in the 2nd as we may have the ability to get some 1st round talent missed on due to other teams need etc.

It would be awesome if trades were allowed

If they were allowed we could prove that we’re more competent than the bengals front office

1st… Monroe, Smith, Raji

2nd… Beatty or Meredith if we miss out on Monroe and Smith in the first. CB’s like Darius Butler and D.J. Moore(doubles as a good return man), or DE’s like Ayers and Barwin.

The more I look at this class of centers.. the more I think we can wait to select one. I think Wood could be there in the 3rd and Caldwell is underated.
