2009 Madden Mock Draft 29-32
by 
Concluding the Madden Mock Draft are the Giants, Titans, Cardinals, and Steelers. These are teams that could most benefit by replacing someone who was lost over the off-season. On Thursday I’ll have up my full NFL Mock Draft as the excitement builds for Saturday.
Continue on to view the picks and leave your thoughts in the comments. Remember this is more about what players would improve the teams the most in Madden 10 and beyond than it is a prediction of who will be taken in the NFL Draft.
#29 – New York Giants – Kenny Britt – WR – Rutgers
If the Giants are able to trade for Braylon Edwards than this pick is negated. For now though getting a receiver to take the place of Plaxico Burress is the most obvious need. Britt ends up being the exact type of receiver the Giants would like to have, he actually fits the mold of Burress being tall with great leaping ability.
#30 – Tennessee Titans – Evander Hood – DT – Missouri
After losing Albert Haynesworth taking a replacement at defensive tackle would make a lot of sense. A top wide receiver or corner would be other possibilities. Grabbing Hood here is the best value pick though as the impact defensive tackles thin out quicker than those other two positions.
#31 – Arizona Cardinals – Chris Wells – RB – Ohio State
Taking a running back is a pretty obvious direction when it comes to the Cardinals. The only question was whether it would be Knowshon Moreno or Beanie Wells. With Moreno off the board Wells is the choice. Arizona got through a season with Tim Hightower starting and now they’ve lost Edgerrin James. Wells could come in and provide the punch they need out of the backfield.
#32 – Pittsburgh Steelers – Alphonso Smith – CB – Wake Forest
Taking an offensive lineman here could easily be justified. In Madden though at this point it would improve depth but probably not offer a huge difference in terms of ratings. So this opportunity might best be served by taking someone who can fill the void left by Bryant McFadden. Smith is a good cover guy and again corner is a valuable position in Madden since most of the time there are several on the field not under any user control.
Thanks for following along with the Madden Mock Draft! Look for my NFL Mock Draft Thursday.

Good picks. I like Beanie to Arizona. It will make them a force to be reckoned with in Madden 10.
April 21, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Ya, my Cards should be pretty dirty if we get Beanie. I'd rather have Donald Brown, he got alot better work ethic.
April 21, 2009 at 4:01 pm
are you really serious??? rrrrrrrrrright
April 21, 2009 at 3:36 pm
I like the picks. Hope Giants don't really get Britts in the real draft though. He will be the best WR in this draft IMO and I'm a Cowboys fan so that wouldnt go good by me. haha
April 21, 2009 at 3:37 pm
now that i saw something on espn i dont think were going to get braylon now we could take a wideout or maybe an ILB or OLB
pierce just dont get the job done no more

these are great picks and the giants just lost two huge parts of the offense in ward and burress. now the wr positon could be more needed right now cause burress is gone and toomer isnt getting any younger taking britt would give them threat with more speed. he is my sleeper for this draft. now if they are happy with the wr's they have now they can address lb issues or even take a donald brown or LB.
April 21, 2009 at 11:58 pm
no i think they will take a wr but just not britt hes not tht physicall wr the Giants are lookin for like hakeem nicks who may ressemble plaxico burres

Beanie is fragile although he is a horse…Not a great receiver, either….
April 21, 2009 at 4:54 pm
I am a little behind in NFL news..Where did Edge go?
April 21, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Google is your friend.
April 21, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Edgerrin James is still a Cardinal but is likely to be released after the Cards ink a new Halfback
April 22, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Gotcha….I kind of figured his days were numbered in AZ…
April 21, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Yes, Donald Brown does have a better work ethic.
April 21, 2009 at 7:03 pm
the cards should draft WR Scott Ledeusch from Harvard.
April 22, 2009 at 2:11 am
thats y u got fired
April 21, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Good job pasta. ive agreed with most of ur picks.
April 21, 2009 at 9:14 pm
I'd be surprised if Beanie didn't go earlier, despite rumors of him being injury prone. From when I've watched him all I see was what a horse he was. If he is available though, this would be a much needed pickup for a terrible Cards running game.

LOVE THE PIC!
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

i like the picks only one i dond like is the kenny britt 1 i think tht hakkem nicks will be on the board and NY will take him cause hes the complete package hes got great hands as we saw in the bowl and hes a big tough physicall recevier tht the NY Giants need to replace plaxico burres.
April 22, 2009 at 2:53 am
The Steelers should draft Tony Carter out of Florida St.
April 22, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Like the new logo however I wish the Lions would get rid of the black and return to its roots….
April 22, 2009 at 5:23 am
There's no way Beanie falls that far. Someone would at least trade up for him if he reaches the 20's.
April 22, 2009 at 7:11 am
who really needs a running back bad enough to trade up for him when you will have the donald browns and mccoy availiable if someone takes wells before then.
April 22, 2009 at 12:54 pm
I like Beanie but for a big man he is fragile….I have never seen a guy get as banged up as he did….Even when he wasn't getting hit he got hurt. Although I like his speed and power, being prone to injury would concern me if I were a GM….
April 22, 2009 at 7:07 am
Hicks is 6 foot as where burress is 6'5-6-4. Hicks is a good wr but he is not plaxico burress. But i would say be would be a good selection also but he is not better than Britt atleast to me that is .
April 22, 2009 at 7:09 am
There is more questions about his recieving skills also that is causing the slight drop then coupled with the durability issues and the fact that he is a between the tackles runner then you will have a problem. I can see the Saints taking him as a compliment to regge bush and i also a team like denever taking im also though they would probably opt for the more complete moreno.

The cover of Gamepro for Madden 10 has Peyton Manning, Larry Fitzgerald, and Troy Polamalu…. think that's a hint?
