This is not a prediction. This is your preference. Predictions will come later. I left out Andre Smith and Crabtree because I don't think there's any chance they'll be available. I also left out the QB's because I don't even want to consider that.

I picked Michael Oher. I've read McShay & Kiper both say he projects more to a solid Guard in the NFL than an OT. Colledge is a tackle, so we move him, and draft Oher and put him at LG."I would love to have a guy that always gets the key hit, a pitcher that always makes his best pitch and a manager that can always make the right decision. The problem is getting him to put down his beer and come out of the stands and do those things." - Danny Murraugh -
Curry for me. We have a huge need for OLB help now and he's the best on the board. Raji is 2nd."I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." - Vince LombardiComment

Rey Maualuga, but Jenkins would be a very nice pick as well. He's going to be a very good corner.Comment

I like Jason Smith. Best potential to be a LT.I can't run no more

I don't think there's any way Curry falls to #9. That would leave Jenkins as the best player with a chance to fall to us. He gets my vote, but most likely he'll be gone as well.
Of the guys who have at least a 50/50 chance of being there I like Smith. But with the defensive switch I'd be very happy with Raji and I could understand one of the pass rushers.#14Comment

I'm happy with Curry, Raji, J. Smith, or Jenkins.
An outside the box pick that I could learn to be happy with, but it would make me wonder, would be Moreno.</delurk>Comment

I think we can address that need well into the 2nd & 3rd rounds. I figured we need OLB, DE, DT, CB, S (not necessarily in that order), so that means we'll go Offense round 1.Originally posted by TennesseePackerBacker"I would love to have a guy that always gets the key hit, a pitcher that always makes his best pitch and a manager that can always make the right decision.

There isn't much I haven't heard about Oher. He's a LT, he's a G. He's a stud at the Senior Bowl, he sucks at the Senior Bowl. He's a good guy, he's lazy. He's a rare talent, he's a late first rounder.Originally posted by ND72
Better figure these things out, but if he has to play G I don't think I want him in the 1st. If they took him to play RT with the hope he could become a LT, then maybe.
Interesting guy, but I'd prefer someone safer. I suspect Ted will too.#14Comment

Orakpo , Maybin, and Brown are interesting prospects but if we're talking "DEs we can convert to OLBs", I'd rather take BPA (at a different position) in the first and pick up Larry English with our second. I think that's more overall utility.</delurk>Comment

Why would we draft a pass rusher when we can just sign one and be done with it. I still have the Peppers fever. He is a titan of a man.Comment

Raji.Who Knows? The Shadow knows!Comment

I picked Raji. I don't think Pickett is going to be the answer at NT. I like a lot of the LB's in the draft, but considering that the LB's are the heart of a 3-4 I'd rather sign one of the veteran 3-4 LB's that are about to hit the market and solidify the nose through the draft.Chuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to growComment

Actually we do NOT have a great need at LB--either inside or outside. We also don't have a need at NT, and even if we did, nobody including Raji justifies going that high.
We don't actually NEED a corner either, although in a year or 2 or 3, we will, and you can never have two many good cover corners.
The other best choice would be an O Lineman, but other than maybe Monroe, none are worth taking that high, and the fact is, you can get good ZBS linemen in later rounds.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

Well, we don't "need" anything. We're going to play at least 16 football games next year and we're going to win some of them. That doesn't mean that some, non-need, guys can't result in winning a few more games next year.
I do personally think that Raji is worthy of a top 10 pick, but he may not be there at 9. Most of the guys up there are worthy of a top 10 pick, IMO (though not Wells, Maualuga, or Jackson in my personal opinion.)</delurk>Comment
