The 2008 season is almost over, which means mock drafts for 2009 are right around the corner. The NFL has announced the tentative draft order for the 2009 NFL Draft, which will be set in stone after the conclusion of the Super Bowl.

  1. Detroit Lions
  2. St. Louis Rams
  3. Kansas City Chiefs
  4. Seattle Seahawks
  5. Cleveland Browns
  6. Cincinnati Bengals
  7. Oakland Raiders
  8. Jacksonville Jaguars
  9. Green Bay Packers

  12. Denver Broncos
  13. Washington Redskins
  14. New Orleans Saints
  15. Houston Texans

Resources

Bone up on your NFL Draft knowledge by visiting this handy map provided by USA Today. Combining my two favorite things — maps and football — into a fantastic resource, USA Today has compiled a database of all the players drafted into the NFL since 1988 and organized them by state.

How does your state stack up against the 240 players taken from my home state of Louisiana? That number reminds me of a story I read a while back regarding Louisiana’s propensity for developing NFL-level football talent.
