"Uhm, hello? Al Davis? This is Matt Millen. Yeah, they fired me, but I've been doing some consulting work for them. That's why I'm calling. I've been authorized to send you the Lions' #20 overall pick, plus our first pick in the second round, plus both picks we have in the third, plus our second next year, so we can pick Jeremy Maclin. Whaddya say, Al?"

Seeing as Michael Crabtree is off of the board, We go to our biggest shortcoming here and that's the play of our defensive line last season.
We have never replaced Warren Sapp, but we get our chance now.....
With the 7th overall pick the Oakland Raiders select....
B.J. Raji, Defensive Tackle, Boston College.
We fill he will bring a much needed push to our defensive line and take some pressure off of our talented secondary.
Jacksonville is now on the clock....Comment

The Jags need playmaker; their WR's suck in a nutshell. They would have nabbed Raji if available. With him off the board they nab the best playmaker left. A speed burner who could be a gam changer
NOTE; IF I WERE THE JAGS GM I'D BE TRADING DOWN TO GET AN EXTRA PICK AND THIS PLAYMAKER
But this will leave plenty of debate for Green Bay
With the 8th pick in the draft the Jags draft WR Jeremy MaclinTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

Pack on the clock... who's it gonna be?Comment

How are we going to organize the forum poll? Should someone make a poll in another thread, or should we just have people say who they want, with the board the way it is (Stafford, J. Smith, Curry, Monroe, Crabtree, A. Smith, Raji, and Maclin off the board) in here and decide that people have until (set time) to vote?
I'd think that the most probable picks for the Packers at this point would be: Jenkins, Orakpo, Maybin, Brown, Jackson, or Oher. But would we want to include "out of knowhere" options like Wells or Hood?</delurk>Comment

I think that Maclin was the right pick for Jax with the board the way it was. Jacksonville's biggest needs were DT (Raji is gone), OT (none of the tier one guys but Oher left), and WR. Maclin is a solid option for them, though the Jags have really terrible luck drafting WRs.Originally posted by Bretsky
Orakpo wouldn't have been a good pick for Jacksonville since they just took Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves last year, they probably have enough pass rushers.</delurk>Comment

I think it's highly likely the Packers would take Oher in this scenario. That's my vote, anyway.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

I already conducted a poll, 40 votes: http://packerrats.com/ratchat/viewtopic.php?t=17068
Raji has been taken, so the next option is "None Of The Above", ruling out Brown, Jenkins, and Maybin (who I would've taken), I like Oher but all the defensive players are still on the board except for Raji and Curry, so I'll go with Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois. I saw him at the combine with his shirt off and that dude is cut, he's faster than Jenkins, and I think he's the best DB in the draft. Woodson and Harris are getting old, so it makes sense to me. He's the brother of SF TE Vernon Davis.
San Fran is on the clock.Thanks Ted!Comment

If Orakpo's still there, I have a sneaking suspicion the Pack will take him if TT can't trade down.
Wouldn't it be crazy though if he took Sanchez?"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

If Sanchez is still there, I think TT takes full advantage of trade scenerio. I personally think we'd take Orakpo, but wouldn't mind seeing a trade down for some big time value. Of course I said that about Brady Quinn.....thank you Justin Harrell.Originally posted by Fritz"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.

No offense meant but there is no way that TT takes Davis at any point in the first round. How does a poll that doesn't include all the actual players available and done for different purposes lead to a drafting of Davis? I don't get it.
Davis may have talent but he's a malcontent just like VD, tought to coach, and not the kind of person TT wants on this team. Why isn't there a new poll done with the actual people that are available? Oher, Orakpo, Jenkins, Brown, Maybin and a few others would be the likely candidates for drafting.Comment

I like the idea of drafting Davis--I like him much better than anybody available in this mock except Oher--about equal with Jenkins--Jenkins more polished, Davis maybe more potential.
Just the same, I have to agree with others, taking him at this point is unrealistic as something Thompson would do. A vote among the players available now is a better way to decide.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment
