2009 Packerrats Mock Draft

[MJZiggy]

I just want it noted for the record that I got 4 correct in the 1st round thread...and I got the Pack's pick right! Which should only drive you nuts because I pay virtually no attention to the draft and don't know who these people are yet...

Thanks for putting the thread together, packrulz.

3 out of 32, eh?

How's that compare with last season's mock?

4 of 32. Awful! I'm happy to say that I was not a part of this mock.

Yeah, 4 of 32. We missed your expertise, Harve.

How does it compare with last season?

I'm glad we didn't pick Oher and Raji slid for us. Our mock was shot when Jackson moved way up and DHB went to OAK.

Sorry, I can't find it, but I think it was even worse.

I just wanted to bump this thread to see how some of the first round picks did in their rookie year. It turns out Oher would've been a great pick for the Pack, not that BJ was a bad pick, and TT was smart to trade up and draft Clay Matthews. We got 4 correct, we'll see if we can do better this year but I want to wait until after the NFL combine this week.

Thanks, PR.

Oher was a great kid, but he's getting a lot of positive pub that isn't earned. The Ravens lost twice to the Bengals last season and Oher contributed to those losses. He was seriously overmatched in both games. Part of the reason the Ravens O was unproductive was their need to constantly slide and help Oher.

He will be a big thing and played well for a rook, but he isn't there yet.

It will be interesting to see how Raji does next year, after a year in the program and, I hope, healthy.

A lot of mocks got screwed up when Al Davis took DHB at #7. Any guesses at what TT would have done if Oakland had taken Raji, as predicted here? Would it have been Crabtree? Orakpo? Cushing? My guess would have been Orakpo.

I'm guessing Crabtree. Especially after hearing reports on how high Crabtree was on TT's board.

My guess is Matthews, Thompson said after the draft that he was very close to picking Matthews at #9 overall. He would have gotten ripped for it initially of course, but the kid sure played like a top 10 pick.
