Preparing for the 2009 NFL Draft; pars nona:

Having begun this attempted peek into the future, and having attempted to prognosticate five rounds thus far, there is a certain compulsion to finish; not Danish, not Swedish, finish. [editor: ZING!]

As previously stated, the exact terms of the DeWayne Robertson trade being unknown to me, a fourth, fifth or sixth round pick might need to go to the Jets. Seems as if the trade was conditional on how many snaps as a percentage of the total Robertson will participate. A review of the previously covered rounds will have all Bronco fans hoping that DeWayne will only cost a sixth.
Let's look at some possible '09 sixth rounders anyway:
  • Anthony Felder, OLB, Cal, 6-2, 236, 101 tkl, 2 sk, 1.5 tfl, 1 pbu and 1 int in '07
  • Jeremy Navarre, DE (DT in '08), Maryland, 6-3, 274, 41 tkl, 5.5 sk and .5 tfl in '07

  • Aaron Brown, RB, TCU, 6-1, 192, 106 att, 490 yds, 2 TD, 24 rec, 161 yds, 1 TD, 14 KOR, 344 yds in '07 [*4.4 speed]

  • Terence Moore, SS (OLB in '08), Troy, 6-2, 216, 64 tkl, 1 tfl, 4 pbu, 1 int in '07

  • Wopamo Osaisai, CB Stanford, 5-11, 198, 45 tkl, 1 tfl, 8 pbu and 1 int in '07 [*4.4 speed]

  • Sam Swank, PK/P, Wake Forest, 6-1, 206, 44/44 XPA, 18/21 FGA-52 long, 76 P, 3,024 yds, 39.8 avg, 34.2 net, 1 blk, and 21 in +20 in '07 [*handles all three kicking jobs-P/PK/KO]

  • Worrell Williams, MLB, Cal, 6-1, 248, 105 tkl, 1 sk, 7.5 tfl, and 2 pbu in '07 [*pop quiz-Who is he?]
Although the '09 pool doesn't seem as deep as '08, there are still some interesting players projected as sixth rounders. All of the guys listed in this study bear watching during the '08 college football season. We wish then all luck.
