2009 NFL Draft Tracker: Round 4

Round: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Round 4
Selection
1 (101). Dallas Cowboys (From Detroit)
Stephen McGee, QB, Texas A&M
Our Take: McGee's an athletic guy that was very inconsistent in college. He's a third-string guy for Dallas, but could develop into a decent backup weapon.
2 (102). Kansas City Chiefs
Donald Washington, CB, Ohio State
Our Take: Washington really should have returned to Columbus, but he's a high upside guy that has a lot of natural ability.
3 (103). St. Louis Rams
Dorell Scott, DT, Clemson

4 (104). Cleveland Browns
Kaluka Maiava, OLB, Southern Cal
Our Take: Kind of got lost amidst all the other USC talent, but he's a versatile guy that should stick on a roster for a good while.
5 (105). Seattle Seahawks
Henry Melton, DE, Texas

6 (106). Cincinnati Bengals
Jonathan Luigs, C, Arkansas

7 (107). Jacksonville Jaguars
Mike Thomas, WR, Arizona
Our Take: Small, but works hard and is a good athlete. He's sort of the new prototype in the slot, and can return kicks.
8 (108). Miami Dolphins (From Oakland)
Brian Hartline, WR, Ohio State

9 (109). Green Bay Packers
T.J. Lang, OT, Eastern Michigan
Our Take: Lang is a transformed defensive lineman, who projects inside after playing LT, but his best football is likely ahead.
10 (110). Dallas Cowboys (From Buffalo)
Victor Butler, DE, Oregon State

11 (111). Carolina Panthers (From San Francisco)
Mike Goodson, RB, Texas A&M
Our Take: Goodson's size (5'11", 208 lbs) might mean a shift to receiver for the Panthers, especially given their crowded backfield.
12 (112). Houston Texans
Glover Quin, CB, New Mexico

13 (113). San Diego Chargers
Vaughn Martin, DT, Western Ontario
Our Take: A great athlete for his size, Martin probably fits better as a defensive end for the Chargers.
14 (114). Denver Broncos
David Bruton, FS, Notre Dame

15 (115). Detroit Lions (From Washington Through Jets)
Sammie Lee Hill, DT, Stillman

16 (116). New Orleans Saints
Chip Vaughn, S, Wake Forest
Our Take: Vaughn led a great Deacon defense, and should provide the Saints with talented depth at SS.
17 (117). Tampa Bay Buccaneers (From Dallas)
Kyle Moore, DE, USC
Our Take: Undersized to play regular DE, Moore should provide the Bucs with a situational pass-rush.
18 (118). New Orleans Saints (From Jets)
Stanley Arnoux, LB, Wake Forest

19 (119). Chicago Bears
D.J. Moore, CB, Vanderbilt
Our Take: A versatile athlete who fell much farther than expected, the Bears got great value at a position of need.
20 (120). Dallas Cowboys (From Tampa Bay)
Brandon Williams, DE, Texas Tech

21 (121). Buffalo Bills (From Philadelphia)
Shawn Nelson, TE, Southern Miss
Our Take: No confusion here -- Nelson is more pass-catcher than blocker, meaning a safety valve for Trent Edwards.
22 (122). Houston Texans (From Minnesota)
Anthony Hill, TE, NC State

23 (123). New England Patriots (From Baltimore)
Rich Ohrnberger, G, Penn State

24 (124). Oakland Raiders (From New England)
Louis Murphy, WR, Florida
Our Take: Surprise! The Raiders take a deep threat with some of the best speed in the draft.
25 (125). Atlanta Falcons
Lawrence Sidbury Jr., DE, Richmond

26 (126). Oakland Raiders (From Miami)
Slade Norris, LB, Oregon State

27 (127). Indianapolis Colts
Austin Collie, WR, BYU
Our Take: The prototypical Colts receiver -- good hands, great route-running, true passion for the game.
28 (128). Carolina Panthers
Tony Fiammetta, FB, Syracuse

29 (129). New York Giants
Andre Brown, RB, NC State
Our Take: Brown helps fill the void left by Derrick Ward, although he's a faster back. Brown has a ton of potential.
30 (130). Tennessee Titans
Gerald McRath, LB, Southern Miss

31 (131). Arizona Cardinals
Gregory Toler, CB, St. Paul's

32 (132). Denver Broncos (From Pittsburgh)
Seth Olsen, G, Iowa
Our Take: The Broncos need depth and talent on the offensive line, and Olsen's a name that's been buzzed about lately.
33 (133). San Diego Chargers (Comp pick)
Tyronne Green, G, Auburn

34 (134). San Diego Chargers (Comp pick)
Gartrell Johnson, RB, Colorado State
Our Take: Johnson has the size of a fullback with the ability of a running back, meaning he should do fine as an inside complement to LdT.
35 (135). Tennessee Titans (Comp pick)
Troy Kropog, OT, Tulane

36 (136). Indianapolis Colts (Comp pick)
Terrance Taylor, DT, Michigan
