2014 Green Bay Packers 7 Round Mock Draft 2.0

[Bretsky]

Agree Hawk/Jones pair needs upgrading. I think if there's a similarly ranked player at another position they might go there instead of ILB. They have Lattimore and Barrington waiting in the wings and I think they'll push for time. If Mosley or Shazier is there they will take a long look at them though.

I don't think anyone -- not even TT himself -- knows what name TT will write on that R1 card. Could be Mosley, Nix, Prior, Shazier, Odell Beckham (a dark horse IMO, he'd at worst be the #4WR and return kicks) among others. It depends on how the draft board falls. TT's gonna go BPA and I'm ok with that. Drafting for need can get teams into trouble.

I would be fine with Beckam round one....he's a sneaky pick. I would throw up on myself if we took Nix. I know everybody keeps noting Shazier as a ILB....which he can play...but the dude can also play OLB...and the dude can rush the passer...........he's the opposite of Nick Perry....he's an ideal 3-4 fit

He is too small to play OLB in a 3-4, thats why we would move him to ILB but he would still be a play maker. Peppers and Clay on the outside with Shazier rushing from the inside on zone blitz...I wouldn't mind seeing that.

Shazier has all the measurables - what could possibly go wrong?

As much as I complain about Hawk at least hes no Aaron Curry. Goes from safety pick in the draft to bust in only a matter of years.

Good point. It could be much much worse. I need to lay off hawk bashing a little. After all, I'm the guy who always says if he were drafted in the 3rd round he'd have been considered "great value." He's a very solid but not spectacular starter. Obviously if the Packers pick Blackhawk, I hope his ceiling is higher.

Did someone say my name?


Sure, Hawk didn't turn out to be the perenial pro-bowler and HOF candidate we all hoped for, there have been much worst results among LBs at the top of the draft. Rolando McClain deserves an honorable mention...

Can't set an edge at 234 versus the run game at 234. He would have to run around the Tackle.

LT was only 3 pounds more. Shazier just doesn't have the same recklessness (but who does?). Who knows? Maybe Blackhawk will be better inside than outside, but obviously I'm not that impressed from what I saw of him at OSU.

Perhaps, but LT arrived 35 years ago. And the 310 lbs., 6' 5" left tackle was developed to prevent him from doing what he did in the first part of his career.

sure, but free agency and Marshmallow Outhouse were developed to restore balance to the Force.
