Mock Draft Poll for Packers Pick

[Waldo]

Its a great year to be Everette Pedescleux that's for sure. Most years this guy isn't getting drafted.

Waldo how do you feel about Kyle Moore as a fit at DE in the 3-4?

He's a little skinny (kinda like Pannel Egboh), and would probably take a year or two to get up to size, so probably wouldn't be much of an impact for a few years. But he could probably do it, he's got a huge frame and good quickness.

Are we not putting much stock in Dom Capers being high on Alfred Malone as a 3-4 DE?

Sure, why not? Shouldn't we still have some competition?

anythink we get out of Karl is a bonus

A couple of good hook shots would help. Maybe he could win the game on a free throw?

Karl never had a hook shot; but he was a sneaky and kind of dirty player.
He know how to use those elbows

[Fritz]

Maybe he taught his young nephew Alfred a thing or two.

Well, you crusty ol' Texas coot, first of all I'm comin' to your state tomorrow - to Waco. So don't shoot this liberal former pot-smoking northerner if you see him, okay?

Secondly, I'm kind of on that bandwagon of yours. The way our resident experts such as Waldo seem to see it, there are lots of possible OLB's down the line in this draft. Thus, unless you are convinced Orapko is the second coming of Lawrence Taylor, minus the crazy, you might be best off waiting and grabbing, say, an OT or a DE. Though I know you think the Pack is set there, too, you crazed Texan.

By now you may be here in Texas, but maybe you brought your laptop and are still checking in. I'm 65 miles south of Waco; I don't consider myself a "crazed Texan", just a crazed Wisconsin transplant to Texas.

As I have said, I've seen enough of Orakpo not to like him--not at the point in the draft where he will go, anyway. As I have also said, I'm very comfortable with what we have at OLB--maybe draft one of those farther down guys just to compete or in case we have a couple of injuries.

I also think what we have at DE--Jenkins, Harrell, Malone, Jolly, and Montgomery--stands just as good a chance of being good as some 1st or 2nd round newcomer. I especially like Jolly--if he can stay out of jail. As has been said, 3-4 DEs under the best of circumstances hardly get a sniff of the QB. Jolly, however, has a knack of not getting enough penetration, but putting a paw up and knocking down passes. That could be a handy skill for a 3-4 DE.

Did somebody mention switching Clifton to RT for a year? I really don't see that. Supposedly a RT can give up a little on pass blocking, but should be good for run blocking. Clifton's run blocking has faded badly, although he's still marginally decent in pass protection. I could see one more year with him as the LT, with Oher learning and transitioning in.

Colledge blows as a LT. Taylor beat him like a drum a couple years ago. He always seems to need help from the RB. And MM did say he was going to stay at G. The Packers and the media claim that he was their best linemen last year. If that is true, he should stay at G. Why move Clifton? He can't play anywhere else.

Colledge blows at LT because of what again? Because he got beat by an elite pass rusher consistently in his rookie season? Gotcha. And everyone else Taylor beat like a drum is garbage too. What a terrific evaluation of a guy. You should be an NFL scout.

Move Clifton? I never suggested that. Ever. I said Colledge would slide over to LT to replace Clifton when he's done. I wasn't talking about this season.

Look big picture - look several years out. Clifton is done, and there is a vacancy at LT to be filled. You have a natural tackle that has been playing guard for 4 seasons so that he can get into the flow of the game, and you have an opportunity to move him back to his natural position at LT. Why wouldn't you do it? It's not like Colledge is an All Pro RG...

As Waldo has already pointed out, which you failed to read before posting this, is that MM only said Colledge is going to remain at guard as opposed to shifting over to RT this year. He never ruled out Colledge moving to LT in the future. I fully expect that to happen when Clifton is done.
