2010 Mock Draft Poll: Vote for who the Packers should draft!

[pbmax]

I voted Pouncey as I am more convinced he can start and be effective than either OLB draftee over Brad Jones. We need pass rush more than DBs, but I am unconvinced either the remaining LBs will provide it. Pouncey likely will solve Left Guard and allow Lang to be groomed to be Right Tackle. Left Tackle will have to be duct tape and Clifton with possible help later this draft.

That being said, I doubt T2 drafts a guard/center this high.

My suspicion if the draft should fall this way is that T2 would take the tackle or the DBs, or if they are not high on his board, trade down. I don't really want any part of the Rutgers tackle if reports about his off field work are true.

As for the way this draft has fallen, remember, everyone on this site has been given glowing reports from other posters about the people the Packers might draft. So the board favorites (many of them Packer possibilities) are probably ranked higher in this mock draft than others would have it.

I like Pouncey as well but this draft is deep with O-line talent and we can easily find a guard later in the draft.

Also Kyle Wilson provides us with two needs. He gives a depth we need at CB and a KR. We don't even know if Al Harris will be ready by the start of the season so we really need a solid #3 CB.

Like who? Bulaga has been hyped up on this board and he lasted until the 21st pick. I think everyone did a pretty good job so far.

Two points of order:

1) How long are we going to let this run? Should we close it some time on Monday so the "only log into Packerrats at work" folks can get their input?

2) Are we doing a runoff? I voted for Hughes, but it's looking like a two horse race between Davis and Wilson. If it ends up being between two (or three) guys with a high number of votes, we should probably let the people who voted for the guys who only got a handful of votes have some input there too.

Yes, a runoff vote sounds good to me so we can narrow it down to one guy like in the war room. I have to leave it up at least Monday to give more people a chance to vote, then I'll put up a runoff poll Tuesday.

It's not often BPA also fills your greatest need. Davis is a top 10 talent and legit LT prospect. With the most important position on the field (QB) filled for the next decade+, its time to fill the second most important position with a big time prospect.

I was referring to an earlier comment that several of the players people were hoping to nab with the Packers pick had already been taken. I didn't mean to say they were all gone (though I was surprised by Graham). I was not mocking the mock, it was just one explanation for the observation.

Davis pissed off a lot of scouts because he couldn't work out, and they flew out to see him, so now they're calling him fat and lazy. I think it's a blessing for the Packers, I don't think he'll slip to 23 but I hope so, he's a bulldozer run blocker, I think he could've gone top 10 if he would've been healthy enough to work out. He's supposed to conduct his own workout the 30th, we'll see how he does.

Well, it looks like we're going to miss out on our guy. I understand the character concerns, but to finally fill LT with a great talent at 23, I can't pass it up. Wilson would be a solid pick though.

This is a writeup on Davis BEFORE all of the talk at and after the combine of him coming off like a slug:


02/24/2010 - 2010 NFL DRAFT SCOUT PRE-COMBINE TOP 64: 23 *Anthony Davis ??? T, Rutgers, 6-6, 325, 1-2: Blessed with all the ability to be as good as he wants to be. But scouts wonder if he is willing to do the work to maximize his tremendous raw athleticism. Davis has an explosive first step, the strength one expects from a man his size, plus footwork and agility one doesn't expect from such a huge person. But he will have to turn up his competitive fire and lower his weight to be consistent in the NFL. He was suspended one game for violating team rules in 2008; benched for a quarter in 2009 for missing a team meeting; and demoted to second team after reporting overweight last year. - Frank Cooney, USA TODAY/NFL Draft Scout

Your classic slug that just doesn't get it. Cetidus Hunt.

I looked at what we NEED the most.....I figured Davis, Mays, or a RB.

I just think in looking at what Thompson does, Mays is the guy...PLUS, Mays has spent time this offseason in and around Green Bay with his best friend Clay Matthews.

I keep reading that Mays production earlier in his career was due to the star players around him. So I think...how good can he do with Woodson, Collins and Harris around him? I would think pretty darn good.

[RashanGary]

Did Mays ever have good production? 2 interceptions in three years? Not exactly a ball hawk.

I'm not a Mays guy.

I'd rather have a guy who was a playmaker in college (Wilson) than a guy who's been around playmakers in college but was never one himself.

I hear ya JH. If it weren't for the character concerns I think most everyone on here would say he's the pick. Then again, if it wasn't for the character concerns, he probably wouldn't have lasted this long. I'll trust that TT and his staff will do the leg work required to determine whether he's worth the risk at 23. If he's there and we pass, then I'll trust they determined, no. He's not worth it. But based on talent, I think he's a slam dunk here.

[Fritz]

The more I read, the more I think Pouncey is this year's Steve Hutchinson. Yeah, yeah, he's a guard, no one wants to draft a guard that high, blah blah - but if you do he'll start from day one and be a Pro Bowler for years.

Maybe he's the guy. High upside, low risk, possible immediate help, allows Lang to move outside right.

I wouldn't be upset. But Darryn Colledge would be.

Now I haven't exactly followed USC closely, so I'm not going to pretend I know. But he did have 3 ints as a true freshman. Could it be possible that after being names a second team all american as a true freshman that teams started to game plan for him in subsequent years? I just think this kid could shine in a defense where he's the last db that opposing offenses think about in their game plan. Great range, and I haven't seen him drop an int (even though he hasn't caught a bunch). Hard worker, no charcter concerns.

I'm not saying he's the next coming, I just don't think we should poo-poo a kid with his ability.
