\"Something<\/a><\/div>\n

Something tells me Harrington didn't know what he was getting himself into<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two months. \u00a0Two of the longest months in sports. \u00a0I’m talking about the dead-zone that one fan experiences between the Super Bowl and the NFL Draft. \u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s never too early to dust up on the NFL Draft. \u00a0When the Detroit Lions use their number one selection to ruin another young man’s life, a smile will arrive across my face. \u00a0Not because of the flashbacks of Joey Harrington and Charles Rogers that will crop up in my head, but that the draft has finally begun.<\/p>\n

The draft compels me to look toward the future and wonder who will be the next Tom Brady or Mike Mamula? It offers fans an opportunity to play the general manager of every franchise in the NFL. \u00a0\u00a0With the popularity of both the NFL and college football, fans can watch the draft and pray that their favorite player from their favorite school doesn’t get drafted by the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n

Here is my first attempt at wrongly picking the top-ten selection in the 2009 NFL Draft. \u00a0A more in-depth version will follow:<\/p>\n

1. Detroit Lions \u2014 QB, Matthew Stafford, Georgia.<\/p>\n

2. St. Louis Rams \u2014 OT, Eugene Monroe, Virginia<\/p>\n

3. Kansas City Chiefs \u2014 LB, Aaron Curry, Vanderbilt<\/p>\n

4. Seattle Seahawks \u2014 OT, Andre Smith, Alabama<\/p>\n

5. Cleveland Browns \u2014 CB, Malcolm Jenkins, Ohio State<\/p>\n

6. Cincinnati Bengals \u2014 OT, Jason Smith, Baylor<\/p>\n

7. Oakland Raiders \u2014 WR, Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech<\/p>\n

8. Jacksonville Jaguars \u2014 LB, Rey Maualuga, Southern California<\/p>\n

9. Green Bay Packers \u2014 CB, Vontae Davis, Illinois<\/p>\n

10. San Francisco 49ers \u2014 DE\/LB, Brian Orakpo, Texas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
