Green Bay Packers: GRADE: A
I love what this team did to solidify its shaky defense in the first two picks alone, with the selection of two excellent players in defensive tackle B.J. Raji and outside linebacker Clay Matthews. Tackle T.J. Lang was a good pickup for the offensive line, while Quinn Johnson could be a bruising lead fullback in the league. Sixth-round pick Brandon Underwood could make this team and give the Packers depth as a backup.

New York Jets: GRADE: A-
The motto of the Jets’ draft was quality over quantity. Mark Sanchez’s selection made this team’s draft because he’s a franchise-maker. New coach Rex Ryan likes his defense, so the organization felt it could focus on the offense in his first draft. The Jets picked up Iowa running back Shonn Greene, who will fit into the rotation with Leon Washington and Thomas Jones. Guard Matthew Slauson was an OK pick in the sixth round, but the key to this draft is up top with Greene and Sanchez.

As always, Mel Kiper Jr. has graded the NFL Draft, even though no one drafted has played a down in the NFL yet. I always find that rather strange, but whatever, my team got a B+, so I won’t complain. Here’s Mel’s take .

Football fans are now excited for the 2009 NFL Draft. In a few days, we’ll get to see the 2009 NFL Draft Grades of our favorite football teams as the 2009 NFL Draft will happen in Radio City Music Hall, New York.

The 2009 NFL Draft will have two rounds on the first day April 25, and five rounds on the second day April 26. You can watch the 2009 NFL Draft live results over at the NFL Network and ESPN. For this year, the Detroit Lions will have first selection after making NFL history as the first team to finish a season at 0-16.

As this event happen, I shall be updating this website and give you the 2009 NFL Draft Grades and 2009 NFL Draft Results. In any case, here’s a 2009 NFL Mock Draft Picks for Round 1 that was sent to me by a friend who’s an NFL fan.

Chicago Bears’ selections and Day 2 of NFL Draft

Armed with nine picks on the second day of the NFL Draft, the Bears have the opportunity to add depth at a lot of positions. Wide receiver and defensive back would appear to be the biggest need. We will see,

9:22 a.m. No. 68: Bears select defensive tackle Jarron Gilbert (6-5, 288) from San Jose State.

This was one of the picks the Bears received after a first-day trade with Seattle. The Bears shipped their second-round pick to the Seahawks. This gives the Bears some depth alongside Tommie Harris. Gilbert moved inside from defensive end, so maybe the Bears could use him there at some point. But Harris’ knee problems might encourage the Bears to keep Gilbert inside. They also have Marcus Harrison, so suddenly the interior of the defensive line is shaping up to look pretty good.

Raiders Draft Michael Mitchell in 2nd

The Oakland Raiders executed a trade with the New England Patriots, slid back seven spots and gained a 4th and a 6th round pick and landed hard-hitting defensive back Michael Mitchell from Ohio University.

In 2008, he played in 11 of a possible 12 games and logged 62 total tackles (36 solo) three interceptions and five passes defensed. He also forced two fumbles and chalked up a quarterback sack.

Michael Mitchell pick a head-scratcher

The Raiders pulled another one out of their hat when they traded down in the second round and grabbed little-known safety Michael Mitchell, a player many people felt would be available on the second day but one who Oakland’s brass believes can bring a physical presence to the team’s secondary.

As always, Mel Kiper Jr. has graded the NFL Draft, even though no one drafted has played a down in the NFL yet. I always find that rather strange, but whatever, my team got a B+, so I won’t complain. Here’s Mel’s take .

It may not be a surprise that the Burge sisters, Heather and Heidi, play basketball. After all, they formerly held the Guinness World Record for tallest twins in the world (at 6 foot 5). The story of Heather and Heidi Burge and their development into talented youth basketball players during the ’70s and ’80s is told in the Disney original movie “Double Teamed”, which was released in 2002.

As the movie shows, Heather and Heidi Burge, who were born in 1971, became well known playing for their high school basketball team in Palos Verde, California. “Double Teamed’ focuses on their high school years and the rivalry between the sisters, who later played college basketball at the University of Virginia, making it to the NCAA Final Four several times.

Heather and Heidi Burge are twin sisters from California, United States, who both played college basketball at the University of Virginia and then played professionally in European leagues and in the Women’s National Basketball Association. At 6 feet 5 inches each, they were the world’s tallest female twins before their record was broken by Ann and Claire Recht. A Disney television movie, Double Teamed, is based on their life stories and achievements in basketball. In the WNBA, Heidi Burge Horton played for the Los Angeles Sparks and the Washington Mystics. Her sister Heather Burge Quella played for the Sacramento Monarchs. Both twins had to retire from playing basketball due to injuries. Heidi now works as a massage therapist and does basketball coaching and clinics on the side; Heather is now a multilingual teacher in Southern California.

What can be expected at Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt ’s weekend wedding?

“It’s very traditional,” Spencer’s sister Stephanie told Usmagazine.com Wednesday at the PaleyFest09 Hills panel in L.A. “They want to keep everything white. Heidi’s dress is white.”

Stephanie says she’ll be a bridesmaid. Heidi’s sister, Holly, will also be in the ceremony, but Stephanie wouldn’t reveal her role.

Mike Wallace Selected In Third Round Of NFL Draft By Steelers

Ole Miss wide receiver Mike Wallace becomes the third Rebel player selected in the 2009 National Football League draft here Sunday as the Pittsburgh Steelers chose him in the third round as the 84th overall pick.

Other Ole Miss player selected this year were Michael Oher and Peria Jerry, having been drafted Saturday in the first round at No. 23 and 24 by the Baltimore Ravens and Atlanta Falcons, respectively.

Steelers selected Ole Miss WR Mike Wallace with the No. 84 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.
Make no mistake, Wallace is a threat to Limas Sweed’s playing time. Sweed is a long, lanky split end type, and Wallace at 6′0/199 with 4.3 speed could help Pittsburgh in the slot. Wallace is also going to compete for return chores, but it could be an option competition for the No. 3 receiver job.

Miss North Carolina Kristen Dalton was crowned Miss USA on Sunday, but the big story to come out of the normally politics-free telecast was Miss California’s comments regarding gay marriage.

When asked by judge Perez Hilton, an openly gay gossip blogger, whether she believed in gay marriage, Miss California, Carrie Prejean, said “We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.”

Keith Lewis, who runs the Miss California competition, tells FOXNews.com that he was “saddened” by Prejean’s statement.

Miss California is not backing down from the answer regarding gay marriage she gave on Sunday night’s Miss USA telecast.

Carrie Prejean told FOXNews.com that she had “no regrets” and was happy with the answer she gave when a Miss USA judge, the gossip blogger Perez Hilton, asked about her stance on same-sex marriage.

“I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman,” she said on the live broadcast. “No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised.”

Congratulations Miss Vietnam USA — you’ve just won $10,000 (which you’re not getting) and a new car (which you have to finance yourself).

NFL Draft Scout compares the stocky Williams, who played some strong safety in college but projects as a pass rusher, to the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.

JAMES HARRISON, Pittsburgh — This is high praise for an unknown player, but the more film scouts watch on Williams, the more they will notice he has the “it” factor. With patient coaching and in the right system, he could turn into one of the better finds in this draft. He plays with excellent field vision and awareness. Williams demonstrates the instincts to quickly track down the ball. He has the change-of-direction agility and lateral movement to string plays wide and hits ballcarriers with force, driving with his legs to push the opponent back through the rush lane.

Jason Williams didn’t get an invitation to the combine, but his stock soared after he participated in Western Illinois’ pro day. He’s 6-1, 241 pounds and ran the 40 in 4.44 and 4.49 seconds.

MACOMB, Ill. – When more than one-third of the NFL’s 32 teams invite you to their house, somebody is doing something right.

The final semester as a student-athlete for Western Illinois senior Jason Williams has been filled with ups and downs. And frequent flier miles. By the end of this week, the 6-1, 241-pound linebacker will have visited more teams than any other draft prospect, taken nearly 30 flights and traveled more than 13,000 miles in the last four weeks. That’s a lot of job interviews for a college senior.

This week’s itinerary: Jacksonville Tuesday to Cleveland Wednesday to the New York Jets on Thursday and Dallas on Friday.

Gilbert first talked about his preference in terms of playing defensive tackle or end.

“Either one is actually great for me,” he said. “I’ve had success with both. Inside, I feel like I’m really quick in there. And outside, over the tight end, I feel pretty strong playing that position.”

Armed with nine picks on the second day of the NFL Draft, the Bears have the opportunity to add depth at a lot of positions. Wide receiver and defensive back would appear to be the biggest need. We will see,

9:22 a.m. No. 68: Bears select defensive tackle Jarron Gilbert (6-5, 288) from San Jose State.

This was one of the picks the Bears received after a first-day trade with Seattle. The Bears shipped their second-round pick to the Seahawks. This gives the Bears some depth alongside Tommie Harris. Gilbert moved inside from defensive end, so maybe the Bears could use him there at some point. But Harris’ knee problems might encourage the Bears to keep Gilbert inside. They also have Marcus Harrison, so suddenly the interior of the defensive line is shaping up to look pretty good.

Raiders Draft Michael Mitchell in 2nd

The Oakland Raiders executed a trade with the New England Patriots, slid back seven spots and gained a 4th and a 6th round pick and landed hard-hitting defensive back Michael Mitchell from Ohio University.

In 2008, he played in 11 of a possible 12 games and logged 62 total tackles (36 solo) three interceptions and five passes defensed. He also forced two fumbles and chalked up a quarterback sack.

The Raiders pulled another one out of their hat when they traded down in the second round and grabbed little-known safety Michael Mitchell, a player many people felt would be available on the second day but one who Oakland’s brass believes can bring a physical presence to the team’s secondary.

As always, Mel Kiper Jr. has graded the NFL Draft, even though no one drafted has played a down in the NFL yet. I always find that rather strange, but whatever, my team got a B+, so I won’t complain. Here’s Mel’s take .
——————–

Green Bay Packers: GRADE: A
I love what this team did to solidify its shaky defense in the first two picks alone, with the selection of two excellent players in defensive tackle B.J. Raji and outside linebacker Clay Matthews. Tackle T.J. Lang was a good pickup for the offensive line, while Quinn Johnson could be a bruising lead fullback in the league. Sixth-round pick Brandon Underwood could make this team and give the Packers depth as a backup.

New York Jets: GRADE: A-
The motto of the Jets’ draft was quality over quantity. Mark Sanchez’s selection made this team’s draft because he’s a franchise-maker. New coach Rex Ryan likes his defense, so the organization felt it could focus on the offense in his first draft. The Jets picked up Iowa running back Shonn Greene, who will fit into the rotation with Leon Washington and Thomas Jones. Guard Matthew Slauson was an OK pick in the sixth round, but the key to this draft is up top with Greene and Sanchez.
