GBN Mock Draft

First mock I've seen that has Jonathan Stewart slipping to the Packers. If that happened, I think TT would grab him. The 2nd round picks would fill needs quite nicely.

This is the best Packer Mock that I have seen so far.

Hope this works out.

Any draft with McFadden falling to #7 seems far fetched to me.

People would have said the same thing about Adrian Peterson last year.

Just 2 spots ahead of Jonathan Stewart in that draft is CB Antoine Cason of Arizona. I have watched several Pac-10 games where Cason was not only a major presence on the field, he was a game-changer!

In the Oregon-Arizona game, he may have been THE major factor in the Wildcats beating the Ducks! His pass coverage, and tackling is very impressive.

For that matter, I have watched Stewart extensively the past two seasons with the Ducks. He is a very powerful runner but surprisingly quick for someone who is 5'11" and 235 lbs.

If Cason is available before Stewart, I would take Cason. If not, the Packers would do well drafting Stewart.

i'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY WITH THAT DRAFT

Agreed, OPF.

Stewart may be out of action for a few months, but I think he will be a huge boost to the running game. If he falls, that has "best player available" screaming all over it if Cason is gone. I'd like Aqib Talib, but his stock has risen so much that he won't be available by the end of the first round.

I'm just glad they shortened the rounds. The delays between picks is just horrible.

Cason is underrated these days. I remeber that Oregon game when he laid the wood and forced the fumble. He is a good player who I'd feel comfortable taking high. He was all over the field.

J-stew is the guy here though if he's available. He's thick, fast and runs through people. Definitely a good power back.

[twoseven]

Stewart or Cason are exactly the two players I have as our hopeful number one. I think Stewart as a fast power back seems a greater need to us presently than Cason who'll go to nickel at best with TT wanting to get as much out of Harris as he can, but I would be happy with either.

Stewart's worth the wait IMO, a workout warrior you would imagine he knows how to take care of himself, hopefully making his recovery that much more succesful. The guy appears to be a solid block of muscle without a trace of fat on him, that 235 appears to carry no wasted space. Wynn and his chubby butt could learn a trick or three from him. I doubt Stewart would be cramping on the sidelines for the rest of a game after a 1st Q 60 yard run.

Well, AP is PRECISELY the reason why McFadden isn't going to fall that far. That is my point.

[ND72]

Wow...yes please! If we could get Stewart, Davis in round 2, and get a solid corner on day 1....I MIGHT just have to do the happy dance that night at my buddies house.

[LL2]

The good thing about getting Stewart is that is doesn't have to be a day 1 starter, as most expect RD1 picks to be. He can be slowly worked into the pro game backing up Grant for the year.

I see it differently. I think it's a trend that teams don't value RBs as much as they used to.

Will he go before #7? Probably. I wouldn't be surprised if this mock is correct and he drops though.

[The Leaper]

I see it differently. I think it's a trend that teams don't value RBs as much as they used to.

My point is that AP opened a lot of eyes last year that previously had fallen into the trend you are talking about. I doubt they will be as likely to undervalue a RB like McFadden in 2008, when they probably would have the last few years.

At the same time, anybody who drafts McFadden thinking they'll get an Adrian Peterson is going to be sorely disappointed. McFadden is much more in the Reggie Bush mold, which doesn't translate as well to the NFL where the linebacker play is a lot better.
