PFF 2009 NFL Redraft Highlights Multiple Super Bowl Champions Across Teams

Pro Football Focus (PFF) revisited the 2009 NFL draft using hindsight and their grading system to suggest alternative first-round picks for several teams. For the Atlanta Falcons, PFF recommended safety Patrick Chung over defensive tackle Peria Jerry, citing Chung's 11-year career and three Super Bowl wins, including one against the Falcons. The Jacksonville Jaguars, who originally selected tackle Eugene Monroe, would have been better served picking safety Malcolm Jenkins, a two-time Super Bowl champion and three-time Pro Bowler noted for his leadership and consistent high grades. The Indianapolis Colts' original choice of running back Donald Brown was replaced in the redraft by wide receiver Hakeem Nicks, who was instrumental in the Giants' 2011 Super Bowl victory and had a more productive receiving career. Meanwhile, the Colts are also highlighted for having two of the NFL's top offensive linemen, Bernhard Raimann and seven-time Pro Bowler Quenton Nelson, who are contenders for the new Protector of the Year award starting in 2025. Additionally, Colts wide receiver Josh Downs was ranked 29th among the top 32 wide receivers entering the 2025 NFL season, demonstrating promising development despite quarterback inconsistencies.
