Who moved to the head of the NFL class during the draft? Find out with FanHouse's team-by-team 2009 Draft Grades.

John Fox and Marty Hurney have always done a good job selecting first-round talent. Since Fox took over the coaching reins in 2002, they've picked Julius Peppers, Jordan Gross, Chris Gamble, Thomas Davis, DeAngelo Williams, Jon Beason, Jonathan Stewart and Jeff Otah. So, yeah, not too shabby. This year, the Panthers didn't have a first-round pick, but somehow managed to stumble into first-round talent anyway, landing Everette Brown with the 43rd-overall pick in the draft.

We've reached draft season, the time of year where Mike Mayock, Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay become you're best friends, and it's possible to spend 10 hours a day mulling over draft scenarios.

You may have your opinion on who is the best draft expert, but there's also something to be said for the wisdom of crowds. Why look at one mock draft when you can look at 10? We compiled the results from 10 of the most respected mock drafts on the Internet to see if there is agreement on who each team will pick. We'll do this several times before the draft arrives to give you an idea of what players and what positions look to be your team's best bets.

In a good piece at SI.com about Oklahoma's offensive line, Sooners right guard Brandon Walker says this about left guard Duke Robinson:

"Big Duke is just talented. He's probably one of the quickest guys I've ever seen to be 330 pounds."

I'd have to say that's an understatement on a couple of levels. For one thing, Robinson isn't 330 pounds. He's listed at 335, and I feel comfortable saying that's low-balling him a little bit, too. He's a mountain of a man, closer to 350 than to 330.

But the even bigger understatement is to say he's "probably one of the quickest." Watch Robinson tonight against Florida, and you'll see that he's without a doubt the quickest big man on the field. It's just not fair that a guy that big is able to get to the second level or pull to the outside that quickly.

That's why Robinson is going to be the first guard drafted in April, and it's why he's going to make a very big impact tonight. When Oklahoma has the ball, take your eyes off Sam Bradford from time to time and take a look at Robinson. If you like line play, you'll like what you see.
