ESPN.com's Todd McShay has jumped into the fray with his first 2009 mock draft, which might look kinda silly in a year's time. Give him credit for trying, and knowing who stands where at this point.
While I'd argue with the exclusion of Chris "Beanie" Wells, it looks pretty solid up and down. When the Cowboys hit the clock at 31 -- looks like McShay's got the Patriots beating Dallas in Super Bowl XLIII -- three receivers are off the board. With Michael Crabtree, Percy Harvin and Derrius Heyward-Bey gone, the Cowboys select ...
1. Louisville QB Brian Brohm (Packers, second round)
2. USC OT Sam Baker (Falcons, first round)
3. LSU DT Glenn Dorsey (Chiefs, first round)
4. Michigan OT Jake Long (Dolphins, first round)
5. LSU WR Early Doucet (Cardinals, third round)
6. Georgia CB Paul Oliver*
7. Kentucky QB Andre Woodson (Giants, sixth round)
8. Texas WR Limas Sweed (Steelers, second round)
9. Michigan QB Chad Henne (Dolphins, second round)
10. Texas DT Frank Okam (Texans, fifth round)
* -- Oliver was declared academically ineligible last spring, entered the supplemental draft, and the Chargers used a fourth-round pick on him. He was inactive for every 2007 game.

31. Dallas Cowboys -- Demetrius Byrd, WR, LSU: Wide receiver is the one area Dallas did not address during an otherwise promising 2008 draft. Byrd has a lot to prove as a senior but he certainly has the blend of size and deep speed it takes to emerge as a first-round draft pick.
If you want a point of reference here, here's McShay 2008 seniors-only Top 10, done just days after the '07 draft was completed:1. Louisville QB Brian Brohm (Packers, second round)
2. USC OT Sam Baker (Falcons, first round)
3. LSU DT Glenn Dorsey (Chiefs, first round)
4. Michigan OT Jake Long (Dolphins, first round)
5. LSU WR Early Doucet (Cardinals, third round)
