2017 Packer Rats Mock Draft?

[pbmax]

With the first pick in the 2017 National Football League Draft, the Cleveland Browns select:

Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M

Seriously, anything short of handing in Aaron Rodgers name on a card is possible with this group.

All the original rumors revolve around who wants Mitchell Trubisky (everyone thought it was noted Carson Palmer fan Hue Jackson). But the last round of gossip said it was the front office and Owner who were in love with the QB and the coaches were in love with Garrett. They do have incoming DC Gregg Williams who would love a pass rusher.

This is all bunk and smokescreen. Hue is a good coach, but he has no leverage after poor showing last year. Gregg Williams facial hair is still in a Federal Witness Protection program.

The Front Office (Sashi Brown and Paul DePodesta) are trying to use analytics to give them a leg up on improving. They have adopted the baseball/basketball model of rebuilding and seem to love draft picks and letting older players go. This could give them the Raiders/Chiefs trajectory of improvement, or it could give them the Philadelphia 76ers.

Regardless, they love draft picks and spend $16 million on a 2nd rounder and a player to be named later from the Texans.

So the smokescreen is about trying to get people to hand over a Mike Ditka level of picks for the #1 overall.

But as there is not certified Hall of Famer or even near lock All Pro QB in this draft, no one is going to bite.

The Browns don't want another mediocre talent at QB while rebuilding with this #1. They will take the sure thing at DE, amass pics and wait for a Luck level talent to appear in a near future draft.
