2009 Draft: What Mel Kiper Jr. Thinks
Rory MacDonald, TrojanWire
He's got luxurious and perfectly sculpted hair — and some thoughts about your Trojans heading into the 2009 NFL Draft.
Mark Sanchez - #2 Quarterback in the Draft
Sanchez is definitely one of the top five to eight players available. If he slides to the 10th spot or later, he'll qualify as a major steal. Had he returned to USC for his final season of collegiate eligibility, Sanchez more than likely would have been the top pick in the 2010 draft.
Rey Maualuga - #1 Inside Linebacker in the Draft
Maualuga has the capability to be a quality mike linebacker in the NFL, but he needs to use his hands better to ward off blocks and maintain more of a consistent performance from week to week. He's a late-first-round possibility.
Clay Matthews - #2 Outside Linebacker in the Draft
Matthews has enjoyed a monumental rise up the draft board since August. He's versatile and productive, has tremendous bloodlines and came through with an impressive showing at the combine workout.
Brian Cushing - #3 Outside Linebacker in the Draft
Cushing's ability to fit at either outside or inside linebacker is the reason I've always viewed him as a surefire first-rounder.
