Scout.com: Scout.com 2009 Mock Draft

Reading Mayhew's bio and some of the moves that he has made is bringing a idea of what type players he is looking for, and who to keep around.
First, Mr. Mayhew was a hard working, and loyal player in his playing days. He was most always on the opposite side of very good shut down corners. He was also viewed to be small for a corner. Now I did not watch the Redskins play, but can imagine most teams tried to work his side of the field. He worked at his game so he could be the starter, as well as win as a team. No complaints, just doing his job to be the best he could be.
That being said, I look back onto the past moves by our team and wondered how much influence he had towards these decisions.
First to come to mind was Dre Bly. Did not like the way he was used on defense. Gone. Then there Shaun Rodgers, I talk to the media through my defensive line teammates. He would also work at his game on the teams time. Gone. Roy Williams and Leigh Bodden had spoke bad of how they were used (type offense and defense) to the media. Gone. Jon Kitna's situation? With the restructuring of Dante's contract, it seems obvious he is there choice between the two. Dante showed good leadership, while Jon complained to coaches, teammates, media, and who ever else would listen. Gone?
Riola and Backus are thought of in high regards by management. They are the opposite of the previous players mentioned. One reason that they resigned Peterman may have been that he have showed nothing but dedication and improvement since he has been here. This may also be a good sign for Lenon to be resigned.

So a couple interesting reads today. Tom mentioned a free agent LB on MLIVE. http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2009/02/leroy_hill_is_an_intriguing_bu.html
With Dizon's size and college production, I am wondering if he could be the nest LeRoy Hill if given the opportunity.

As so came across a mock draft scenario that makes the most scents to me.
