Aaron Curry To The Packers?

[Joemailman]

Pat Kirwan has the Packers taking Curry in his latest mock. http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09...s&confirm=true
I know the conventional wisdom is that there is no way Curry will be available at #9, but I think Kirwan is one of the best at keeping his pulse on trends in upcoming drafts.

Kirwan also has an excellent article on activity related to the upcoming draft.

I think Curry would be great, but I for one would rather see Raji or Orakpo at 9.

I'd take Curry in a second; he'll be gone by 5 though

what is your prediction for us at 9? I want Raji but I say we take Maybin or best OT available

[The Shadow]

Curry will be gone.

I'd hate to waste a pick on curry and have to trade Barnett (or Hawk). Bring on Aaron Amaze-bin.

i look at dozens of mocks a day

i've seen the packers taking at least 20 different guys in the last few weeks

i wouldn't put to much stock into any of them

wityh ted thompson at the helm we won't have a clue who the packers are going to take in the draft

in fact, even after the pick is made i'm sure most of us will be scrambling around trying to figure out who the hell the guy is

what is the word on maybin? I read something questioning his extreme size explosion, suspecting roids.

No need to do that. Curry should be able to play inside or outside.

For Curry to fall to the Packers, I think both Stafford and Sanchez would have to be picked in the top 8. 2 QB's, 2 OT's, Crabtree, Raji, Orakpo, and Everette Brown would be the top 8. Not likely, but not impossible.

Curry has been talked about as a #1 pick - with our switch to the 3-4, I would think he would be a no brainer if he fell to us...sort of like another possible #1 pick a few years back...

[Joemailman]

I think Detroit traded for Julian Peterson because they have other plans for the #1 pick. In the last 5 years, only 2 LB's (Hawk and Gohlston) have been taken in the 1st 8 picks. Many have argued that neither have justified their high draft position. Some teams may be hesitant to draft a linebacker as high as Curry has been projected.

TT is very much like Ron Wolf in a few ways. He believes the two hardest to fill positions in the NFL are QB and LT. Wolf struggled to get a successful LT. I don't see TT passing on the chance to land a franchise type if there is one available.

I believe this so strongly that I think he will even take Oher at 9 if he believes the guy can man the position. If all 4 went ahead of us that might change things. Also if TT thinks that there isn't a real deal LT left....and I'm not going to speculate on who he ranks where.

If we could have Andre Smith slide to us it would make things really interesting going into camp. College was outstanding the last game of the year at RT (granted against the Lions). Maybe Sitton emerges and spitz mans the center. If Babre developed at LG we could have a nasty run blocking OL. Its a lot of ifs for sure, but if you have a stud at LT a lot of other things get easier.

who do you see Raji going to in the top 8?
