Normally I wouldn't speculate so hard until after the combine and comp picks and whatnot but for shits and giggles I'm going to put out my first mock draft now.

Jerry Hughes Jr.
DE, TCU
6'2" 255
I'd love to nab Bruce Campbell with this pick however I have a feeling he'll be long gone. At this time this is considered a bit of a reach however Hughes sat out the senior bowl and I feel he'll make up for the lost exposure in the coming months and make it to the bottom of round 1 or top of round 2. There is a chance we could still land him with pick #56 but I think he's a special player and thus I took him here. Anyways Hughes is one of the most productive players in college football and led the NCAA in sacks in 2008. He's got a great first step, and a motor like has never been seen. He's expected to look a little stiff in coverage being a DE and all but speed won't be his issue. He played LE in college which is a little odd but it should be fairly natural to play LOLB for the Packers. Also should be noted that he wants to be a Packer.

Rodger Saffold
OT, Indiana
6'4" 312
Made a name for himself at the shrine game where he was called "The best player on the field." He's a long time starter at LT has the footwork and athleticism for the position along with a decent 33.25" reach. If one of the better tackle prospects fell to us in Round one, I'd pray for Jerry Hughes Jr. here.

Kam Chancellor
S, VT
6'3" 232
I chose this pick because he's an Aaron Rouse clone and TT once picked Rouse. Kam is more established than Rouse and more physical making him better suited to SS.
Round 4

Akwasi Owusu-Ansah
CB, Indiana (PA)
6'1" 205
The Deon Sanders of D-II for what that's worth. Has the size of a true TT corner. Possesses liquid hips and elite ball skills which should translate to any level of competition. Also can return punts and kicks.
Round 5

Tim Hiller
QB, Western Michigan
6'4" 230
Best arm in the draft. Good accuracy. Good decisions. 4.0 Student. Not sure why he's expected to fall this far.
Round 6

Linval Joseph
DT, East Carolina
6'6" 322
Might not last this long in a draft not loaded with talent at DT but this one is. Looks like a nose tackle but plays like a 3 tech, much like Raji. Questions for him are about his strength and stamina. Could provide a rotational player in nickle and dime packages while he develops.
Round 7

Shawnbrey McNeil
RB, Southern Methodist
5'10" 200
Lightning Quick and a good receiver. Has return skills too. A nice compliment to Ryan Grant.
