Who WILL TT Draft In The !st Round?

[Joemailman]

Not a preference poll. It's prediction time. The following will not be in the poll as I expect them to be gone when the Packers pick at #30.:

Leonard Williams, Amari Cooper, Marcus Mariota, Jameis Winston, Dante Fowler, Brandon Scherff, Kevin White, Vic Beasley, Andrus Peat, DeVante Parker, Alvin Dupree, Todd Gurley, Shane Ray, Randy Gregory, Danny Shelton, Ereck Flowers, La'el Collins, Trae Waynes, Kevin Johnson, Melvin Gordon, D.J. Humphries.

Poll to follow.

you think it's a given Gordon is gone by GB's pick ??

I think so. All 4 mock drafts at CBS have him being picked between 17-26.

[Joemailman]

I think it's Eric Kendricks. He's an every down linebacker who fits an obvious need.

Kendricks. scout.com's mock draft aggregator/complier/plagiarizer has every MLB on their board available at the Packers pick. If they want one, good chance they'll be there.

[Guiness]

I picked 'other' just to make sure I'm right, because no way does TT pick anyone we're looking at! To put a name to the 'other' though, I'll go with Jalen Collins, the corner from LSU.

I'm not sold Kendricks goes in round 1.

[Joemailman]

There have been reports that teams might have 1st round grades on only 15-20 players. I think TT will want to trade down, but will have trouble finding a team that wants to trade up. CBS and Draft Insider both have Kendricks at #29, so there is decent value to pick him there. Not really an exciting pick but a solid one.

I just don't see TT using a #1 on an MLB unless it's a special player like the kid who went to Baltimore last year. I could see him going for the home run with Dawson, or the kid from Clemson (I don't touch people from Clemson personally). Otherwise, he goes CB, DL, or WR.

[smuggler]

What? No love for Gaines Adams or Phillip Merling? lol

I have a suspicion we'll end up taking an OT (probably Ereck Flowers) or Arik Armstead. I voted Armstead, but I sure would like a trade back and/or an ILB!

[Guiness]

Here's a question - lots of chatter about Shane Ray falling out of the first round - don't see how you don't take a flier on him if he's there at 30.

Would TT want to spend a 1st round pick on a guy dumb enough to be in possession of marijuana 3 days before the draft? He would probably want to delve into the guy's past, and there may not be time to do that. Ray did fail a drug test earlier in his career at Missouri.

He'll draft a difference maker with updside.

I'm not sure if it will be a high-motor, long striding kinda guy or a country strong tone-setter. I don't care, as long as he doesn't have any red flags and can contribute from day 1.

Well, I'm not even sure that's a crime anymore. There've been a lot of changes in the law

Repped.

Dolphins' Dion Jordan, the #3 overall pick in the 2013 draft, suspended all of 2015 for failed drug test due to diluted test sample. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...aign=editorial

That's why this matters.

Did I say it didn't matter?

Chevy Chase don't care.

Ted will draft an offensive tackle in the first round, pissing many people off.

Then he'll turn us all into frothing, eye-bulging lunatics by drafting one cornerback in the fourth round, and an inside linebacker in the sixth round.

And somehow, the Packers will end up even more dominant than last year, throwing all logic out the window.

That's why God or Al Davis invented UDFAs to root for.

My great concern this early in the year is that I am going to see Year 2 Mike Pennel and wonder what the heck I was so excited about.
