"With the first pick in the 2009 NAFL Draft, the Kentucky Crunch select..." [enter your guess here].

While Kentucky has the luxury of knowing exactly who their first pick will be, it has to be a good one since they don't pick again until 26 other players have come off the board. With a question mark at running back in second-year player Darren McFadden, it's pretty much a sure thing that they're looking at a running back, which has been all but confirmed.

"It will be a running back - no surprise," said a member of the Crunch front office staff. "Maurice Jones-Drew is on top of the list, but I don't know [for sure]."

The Detroit Enforcers have a close eye on how that plays out, since running back is at the top of their list. If Jones-Drew is off the board, the next best options would likely be DeAngelo Williams or Steven Jackson, although there a few backs that finished in the top ten in scoring last year on the board that are available, including Thomas Jones (2nd in scoring in 2008) and Brandon Jacobs (3rd in scoring).

No matter how it plays out, this draft should be as interesting as any.
