Who will be available when Packers pick?

[Joemailman]

Different mock drafts can differ considerably regarding who will be available when the Packers pick at #16. Using Scouts Inc.'s top 32 players as potential 1st round picks, I surveyed 10 mock drafts to judge the likelihood of each player being available when the Packers pick. Next to each player I have listed how many of the 10 mocks have the player being available when the Packers pick. I have also included, in parentheses, the average draft position for each player:

1. Calvin Johnson Jr. WR Georgia Tech 0/10 (3.3)
2. Joe Thomas Sr. OT Wisconsin 0/10 (4.3)
3. JaMarcus Russell Jr. QB LSU 0/10 (1.0)
4. Gaines Adams Sr. DE Clemson 0/10 (5.5)
5. Brady Quinn Sr. QB Notre Dame 0/10 (4.0)
6. Alan Branch Jr. DT Michigan 3/10 (12.4)
7. Adrian Peterson Jr. RB Oklahoma 0/10 (3.8)
8. Jamaal Anderson Jr. DE Arkansas 0/10 (10.5)
9. LaRon Landry Sr. S LSU 0/10 (7.7)
10. Ted Ginn Jr. Jr. WR Ohio State 6/10 (17.0)
11. Leon Hall Sr. CB Michigan 1/10 (10.6)
12. Dwayne Jarrett Jr. WR USC 9/10 (29.6)
13. Reggie Nelson Jr. S Florida 5/10 (16.2)
14. Amobi Okoye Sr. DT Louisville 1/10 (10.1)
15. Adam Carriker Sr. DE Nebraska 6/10 (16.9)
16. Lawrence Timmons Jr. OLB Florida State 10/10 (30.1)
17. Marshawn Lynch Jr. RB Cal 4/10 (13.9)
18 Ryan Kalil Sr. C USC 10/10 (46.1)
19. Dwayne Bowe Sr. WR LSU 10/10 (22.6)
20. Levi Brown Sr. OT Penn State 2/10 (11.7)
21. Sidney Rice Sr. WR S. Carolina 10/10 (40.8)
22. Greg Olsen Jr. TE Miami-FL 7/10 (22.1)
23. Darrelle Revis Jr. CB Pittsburgh 9/10 (28.3)
24. Jarvis Moss Jr. DE Florida 9/10 (21.5)
25. Patrick Willis Sr. OLB Mississippi 2/10 (14.6)
26. Charles Johnson Jr. DE Georgia 10/10 (29.1)
27. Ben Grubbs Sr. G Auburn 10/10 (43.2)
28. Robert Meachem Jr. WR Tennessee 10/10 (25.6)
29. Aaron Ross Sr. CB Texas 10/10 (26.1)
30. Zach Miller Jr. TE Arizona State 10/10 (44.4)
31. Paul Posluszny Sr. LB Penn State 7/10 (23.1)
32. Anthony Spencer Sr. DE/LB Purdue 9/10 (34.5)


A couple of notes:

Brady Quinn's average draft position is 4.0 even though 7 out of 10 mocks had him going #2. One mock had him slipping to #14, which skews things a little bit.

Ted Ginn's numbers were all over the place. The mocks had him going as early as 7, or as late as 30.

6 out of the 10 mocks had Buffalo taking Marshawn Lynch. 3 had him going to the Packers, and 1 to Tennessee with the 19th pick.

Thanks, Joe, now all we need is information on them in one handy place.... :idea:

There's a new mock draft out that has us picking Robert Meacham at number 16 and has Marshawn Lynch falling to the 2nd round. It also has Ted Ginn falling to the Cowboys in the first round.

Oops...my bad...I see someone already posted that mock draft. :o

I like Willis a lot, I feel he'd be a solid pick, the Pack could have the best LB tandem in the NFC. I like Poppy, he works hard but takes himself out of plays at times, he needs to get the mental part down. Underwood and Culver will be back so I think TT will pass on Nelson, Blackmon will be back so CB probably isn't a pressing need, Lynch has some character concerns soooo, Willis would probably be a safe, solid pick, like Hawk was last year.

[ahaha]

If Okoye or Branch were actually sitting there at 16, I can't see how TT could pass on one of those DT's. Sure, our D-line is a good rotation, but how scary could it be if we had a dominant interior lineman to add to the mix. That's an addition that could turn our defense into a real powerhouse.
