2009 Mlb Best Prospects
top 10 players in 2009 draft?
out of players who are eligble to come out. mine are
Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss – best ol prospect
Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State – would have been first cb taken in this years draft
George Selvie, OLB, South Florida – next years vernon gholston, very athletic
Percy Harvin, WR, Florida – pure speed, huge playmaker
Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech – great RS freshman year, could be first pick
Chris Wells, RB, Ohio State – big bruising back with good speed
Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia – 2nd best back
Myron Rolle, SS, Florida State – another great safety from the state of florida
James Laurinaitis, MLB, Ohio State – would have been first lb taken this year
Tim Tebow, QB, Florida – its debateable whether he will be a first rounder or a system player
just so people know im a gators fan, i live in florida
This goes for the top 10 players and not the top 10 picks.
1. Alex Boone, OT, Ohio State
Boone probably would have gone late in the first round in this year’s draft. Another year in Columbus pushes him to the top of my list.
This 6’8″, 330-lb behemoth has the bulk to dominate games in the NFL and on film he seems to display rare athleticism for a man his size. If Jake Long is a top-five selection, Boone goes number one in 2009.
2. Chris “Beanie” Wells, RB, Ohio State
I am going to catch a lot of heat for being a Buckeye fan and projecting two Ohio State players to go this high in the 2009 Draft. But the tape doesn’t lie.
Beanie has breakaway speed, power, and most impressively, quick feet that makes him elusive with the ability to cut on a dime. Wells should provide some lucky NFL team with 30 carries a game and average 4.5 ypc. My only concern will be how he holds up health-wise his junior year, because the Buckeyes are going to once again ride him all the way to the Big Ten Championship.
3. Myron Rolle, S, Florida State
I usually don’t project safeties to go this high in the draft—although in 2005, I had Sean Taylor as the No. 1 player on my board, but Taylor was the best defensive player I have ever seen play college football. (Too young to have seen LT.)
Anyway, Rolle is the closest thing I have seen to Taylor. Physical, aggressive and a heavy hitter. Some will argue that USC’s Safety Taylor Mays is a better pro prospect, but right now Rolle holds the higher grade.
4. Rey Maualuga, LB, USC
Maualuga is explosive and brings the wood every Saturday. He needs to play with more control at the next level and improve in coverage, but he should hear his name called early on Draft Day 2009.
He is probably best suited at MLB in a 4-3 scheme in the pros. His athleticism and instincts should allow Maualuga to have a successful NFL career.
5. Percy Harvin, WR, Florida
There are two receivers I am excited to watch play at the next level—Harvin and Penn State’s Derrick Williams. Both of them are prototypes of a new generation of NFL wideouts.
No matter where Harvin lines up in the NFL, offensive coordinators will need to find ways to get the ball in his hands. I would love to see him play for the 49ers and see what Mike Martz could do with his rare athletic ability.
6. Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State
I know what you’re thinking, another Buckeye, but Jenkins would of been a mid first round pick in this year’s draft, had he not returned for his senior season.
Jenkins has the size and speed to take on receivers the likes of Randy Moss and Terrell Owens in the NFL. Another year in Columbus, can only improve his draft status.
7. Phil Loadholt, OT, Oklahoma
Loadholt, well he is a load at 6’8″ 350 lbs. This is a projection clearly based on upside. If he is able to improve his footwork and show his ability to pass block he could end up as a top ten pick.
Right now Loadholt is a project, but a solid senior season for the Sooners should garner him some attention from the NFL Scouts.
8. Andre Smith, OT, Alabama
Smith was a prep legend coming out of Huffman High School in Alabama. Most people consider him the best pro prospect in college right now. Some scouts have said that Smith is the best college offensive lineman to suit up since Orlando Pace. Lofty praise, I know.
While there is no denying Smith’s talent and measureables, I still feel that Smith is still a bit raw and needs a solid junior year for the Crimson Tide before he ascends to the top of this list.
9. James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State
Yes, more Buckeyes. “Little Animal” would have been a top 10 selection in 2008, but I am glad he came back for his senior season.
Laurinaitis has some work to do in coverage and probably needs to bulk up some more to be able to withstand the pounding of a 16 game NFL season.
10. Pat White: Could Run Like MIke VIck and throws the ball good with great accuracy. I wouldnt be surprised if the falcons draft him he fits in their system
11. Tim Tebow: One of the Best players but he might not gonna be taken in the first 2 rounds. Hes not ready to be a NFL QB. But we will se how he improves this year. But his junio year I think will determine him bieng a top 10 pick or a 4th round pick
