Thread: Stupidly Early Mock Draft

  1. #1

    Post Stupidly Early Mock Draft

    Because this is the kind of dumb shit I do when I can't sleep...

    R1 Reggie Ragland, ILB, Alabama
    R2 Adolphus Washington, DE, Ohio State
    R3 Kyle Murphy, OT, Stanford
    R4 Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
    R5 Bronson Kaufusi, OLB, Brigham Young
    R6 Bryce Williams, TE, East Carolina
    R7 Jonathan Williams, RB, Arkansas

    Drafting three Williamseses, because, why not?

    Actually, two of those guys might be well unavailable in the spots I put them. (WR) Mike Williams might have been the #1 receiver taken but he fractured a vertebra in his neck and missed the season. If he checks out medically, he'll be gone by the 4th round. If he doesn't, we won't pick him. (RB) Jonathan Williams had a foot injury and missed time. If he is healthy, he'll get taken before the 7th.

    I think Packers will probably have 2 4th round comp picks for House and Tramon. I think we'll see 2 O-Linemen taken. Maybe a NT if Raji leaves.

    Yeah, we should have 2 comp picks. I just went with a straight mock, though.

    I wonder what they'll do at WR. Will they look at this year and decide they need to draft a playmaker early? Or will they figure Jordy and Monty are coming back 100% and Adams will rebound, all of which would make Cobb better?

    Maybe they'll realize they need a deep threat and take a flyer on a small-school size-speed project in the seventh round!

    We need another stud just in case Jordy isn't the same player he was before the injury. We can all see how this offense suffers without a legit #1 opposite Cobb. I like Adams and Monty but these guys are not the type of WR that keep defensive coordinators up at night.

    This upcoming draft is going to be loaded with stud inside LBs. Ragland has put on a good show tonight.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    If the idea is to draft a running back late for roster depth, I give you Tarik Cohen of NC A&T (in Greensboro, NC) which is a traditionally black school. I know it's hard to get excited about guys who are 5-6 and 190 from smaller schoools/lesser competition, but this guy has jets like Darren Sproles. The Packers need guys to threaten opposing defenses athletically, and this guy can do that. He dominates at his level now, and showed out in their bowl this year against Alcorn State.

    If he declares for the 2016 draft, I hope he gets an invite to the Combine.

    Digging this back from the grave. Adding a newer mock.

    1 Reggie Ragland, ILB, Alabama
    2 Austin Johnson, NT, Penn State
    3 Joshua Perry, OLB, Ohio State
    4a Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma
    4b DeAndre Houston-Carson, FS, William & Mary
    4c C.J. Prosise, RB, Notre Dame
    5 Joe Haeg, OT, North Dakota State
    6 Jake McGee, TE, Florida
    7 Jerrell Adams, TE, South Carolina

    I feel pretty good about these picks, except for rounds 2 and 3. I don't think the needs of the team match up with the talent in those rounds. Hopefully I'm wrong. Worst case scenario, we draft another 2nd round receiver and he turns out to be a gem, AMIRITE??!

    ^I like the approach. Of course, after the combine you probably won't get some of these guys in the lower draft rounds. They run a fast 40 and up the board they go. Plus, one of the draft talking heads gets excited about a guy and up he goes like a rocket.

    I'd probably pass on Ragland and go DE or a top SS. Don't know much about Houston-Carson or Prosise. Do you have a scouting report on them?
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    I like this,
    *: indicates player might not be available, reach

    1, 27th: Hunter Henry, TE Arkansas: 6-5 253 pounds *
    Best pass catching TE in the draft. He is not an inline blocker, but can split the seem
    2. 27th: Joshua Perry, OLB Ohio St: 6-4 254
    Who knows what will happen with Peppers and Perry, but this Perry has an uptempo game and plays with an extremely high RPM motor. Reminds me sort of a Clay Matthews type who makes plays but will also give up plays because he will over run them and fail to break down.
    3. 27th: Kyle Murphy, OT Stanford: 6-7 302 *
    Well rounded Athlete that can get to the second level. Very good technique, I wouldn't call him a brawler. He would do well as a back up in 2016 and probably play if needed. Might not be available in round 3
    4. 27th: Blake Martinez, ILB Stanford: 6-1 245 pounds
    I think this kid could be a steal for the Packers if they get him in the 4th round. Not flashy, good in coverage, does the little things right.
    4. : Jerell Adams, TE South Carolina: 6-5 232 pounds
    Basketball player that has some good tools and can actually block inline considering his 232 pounds. Needs polish but he would be an interesting fit in Green Bay. At this point the Packers need to totally rebuild their TE position so two TEs in this draft is not too many.
    4. : Kevin Byard, SS Middle Tennesse: 5-11 226 pounds
    I believe he was mentioned in another thread and mentioned how flexible the Arizona defense was with their SS/ILB. The Packers lack a true coverage specialist in the middle of their defense in their nickel defense and he could be a possible solution for that.
    5. 27th: D.J. Reader, DT Clemson: 6-2 325 *
    Big Athletic body that doesn't really do anything great, but could be a gem at the next level. You can't teach size and if the Packers choose to go a different direction and not sign Raji he could be a nice late round pick. He is a guy that has a good combine you can forget about seeing him this low.
    6. 27th: Devon Cajuste, WR Stanford: 6-3 227 pounds
    This is another pick for the tight end position. He is listed as a WR but he is more of tweener. Not asked to block and doesn't have a top gear but could make an impact and cause some mismatches at the next level for defenses.
    7. 27th: Connor McGovern, OG Missouri: 6-4 304 pounds
    Really strong player weight room strength that transfers over to the field. He decent footwork and struggles mostly with quick defenders in space, great in tight quarters. Pretty much a stereotype for any late round guard. Could be a great pick and I wouldn't be surprise if he was taken higher in the draft

    Why do the Packers need a top SS in the first round? They have Clinton-Dix

    What I am missing on this list is RB, and a true WR. I don't think the Packers need another WR. I think it will really cloud the mix coming next year. I like the 6 guys the Packers have already. I really like Derrick Henry from Alabama but I don't see the Packers dropping a first round pick for him. He might fall to the late 2nd if he test poorly but then why bother to take an Eddie Lacy 2.0.

    Another guy I like is a homer pick for the Badgers, But Derrick Watt is a fantastic athlete and my opinion was misused as a fullback at Wisconsin. He has H-back or TE written all over him at the next level.

    Nutz, I like your draft concept as well. Except TT would never use a number one on a TE, IMO.

    I would like a fast, hard-hitting, good tackling SS because I'd like to see our defense pair a bigger safety with Barrington, rather than a typical ILB. With TE's getting faster and more integral and RB's getting more receptions and running routes over the middle, I think a hybrid SS/ILB is the way of the future.

    Considering what I just wrote, I think the Packers offense MUST go the way of the future and acquire a big, fast, good-hands TE and a quick, good hands RB and incorporate them more into our offense. I also think we need another good WR to avoid the situation we had this year. We need a smaller, speedy WR like Tyler Lockett or Antonio Brown. I'd be willing to spend a top draft choice to get one.

    As for RB's, I notice two that are quick, fast and near the top of the NCAA stats in pass receiving: Kenneth Dixon and Tyler Ervin. Dixon would require a higher draft choice. Ervin is a "scatback" type and will probably be available in later rounds...unless he blows the top off the combine.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    I think it is difficult to find a player that can play every down as an undersized ILB. I like the idea but to find a player like Thomas Davis for the Panthers is like finding a needle in a haystack. Davis was an all-american SS for Georgia and was drafted by the Panthers and ended playing OLB.

    So when I looked at this situation, which I like I decided that it could be addressed lower in the draft since the chance of hitting it is a low.


    TT might not take a TE in the first round, but I would.

  19. #19
    Depends on if that TE could be had in the 2nd. Wasn't Ertz a 2nd rounder?

    Granted, it would probably mean giving up our 4th round pick. But we have 3 this year.
