GBN Mock Draft

[POLISHHAWK]

Why do we read these things? They are rarely correct past the first four or so picks, and definitely not correct once you get into the middle of the first round. Justin Harrell to the Pack - how many mocks got that?

yet we - myself included - continue to read them like starving dogs. Then TT drafts a defensive lineman from Bethune Cookman anyway, and we all scratch our heads and go "WTF?" while the Jon Stewarts and Fred Davises of the world sit on the board.

Why, oh why, do we/I read all this?

Actually Mayock had us taking Harrell with one of his last Mock's last year. I actually said his name to my buddy just before Goddell did! My buddy looked at me like "What the Hell??"

Ted Thompson unexpectedly drafted Rodgers or he would have been starting for the Redskins.

Hawk was a clear cut choice.

Harrell was unexpected.

I think it will be an unexpected guy this year at #1.

Pete Prisco predicted up to take Harrell the morning of the draft; when I was listening I was wondering WTF he was talking about

Some things never get old:

I like this site, I forgot all about it.

Really a nice draft for the Packers. I actually did a write up on Patrick Lee for a possible first round selection.

Yeah, I do think this is close to the best plausible first day the Packers could possibly have. I would be ecstatic with Stewart, Davis, and Lee.

I don't think it would happen though.

Look for CB Brandon Flowers in the first.
Guard Shaun Murphy as one of the 2nd round picks.

Packer Picks:

(1) Justin King CB Penn State
(2) Matt Forte RB Tulane
(2) Carl Nicks OT Nebraska
(3) John David Booty QB USC


King and Forte sound like reaches to me. But then, people said that about James Jones.

[DonHutson]

No thanks. I'll stick with their prior prediction.

Lot of Flowers love lately; isn't he a small buzzer in the 5 9" to 5 10" ?

I wonder how much this weighs into our pick now or if height is not as much of an issue with Moss long gone

Listed at 5-9 7/8. My question is whether the lack of height is a hindrance in getting a jam at the line of scrimmage. Will a shorter CB lose that battle more often than not because the receiver has the leverage? The ability to cover the receiver downfield would be less of a concern to me.

i just have nightmares of tall WR's grabbing balls without even jumping over guys like t-buck and carroll

i also don't want flowers because it seems like beamer has a nice little head case factory going on down there at Va Tech

I wouldn't put much stock in the school he comes from. Aaron Rouse comes from there, and seems to be a very solid guy.

Flowers is really the anti-Carroll. He lacks premier speed, but makes up for it by being solid in all other areas. Maybe more like Craig Newsome. Many of the top CB's in the NFL are no bigger than Flowers. Lack of height can be overcome if you know how to play the position.
