Packerats 2010 Mock Draft runoff vote:

[RashanGary]

Wilson won the first vote. I think he should get a 3-vote handicap because more people had him as #1 on their list.

I've found a new draft favorite:

The guy who told Tebow to STFU has the right smash-mouth football attitude.

Since the vote is so close I'll wait until morning to announce a winner, anyone who hasn't voted yet, please do.

Can't believe how many have voted for Anothy Davis. Just shows you they just drafted by position need instead of actually doing research on the player. This dude is a joke and thank god this is just a mock draft because TT wouldn't waste a 1st rounder on this guy. He has the talent but no work ethic and hes immature. Not only that but this guy wouldnt even start this year, but we need more talent on the defensive side of the ball then we do on offense.

I'm just going more on "having watched Rutgers play" than on internet reports about his work ethic and his maturity.

Of the draft sites I've looked at, none have Wilson ahead of Davis on their big board. That doesn't mean they're right, but I suspect they've "done research on the player". They are aware of Davis' shortcomings, but see him as an immense talent. The question is whether a team wants to take a shot at a boom or bust pick. That's what Davis is.

I know that I just really don't like what I hear about Davis. JaMarcus Russell was ranked above everyone on the big board but the Raiders picked him anyway and ignored his immaturity and poor work ethic because he was talented. Anothy Davis could still be good player but he just not the type of player TT picks with his background.

As some of you may know I try to find what the draft boards are saying. I average a few of the better ones so no player appears to high on the big board or too low based on any one web site.

On my big board Davis is number 19 and is the #4 OT. (Okung is #4, Bulaga is #6, Williams is #13.) The Redskins at 4, Seahawks at 6 and 14, Bills at 9, 49'ers at picks 13 and 17 all need an OT.


Kyle Wilson's number 24 on my big board and is the #2 CB. (Joe Haden the #1 CB is on the big board at #7.)

Teams drafting in front of the Packers have needs at corner. The Seahawks at 14, Giants at 15, 49'ers at 17, the Falcons at 19.

It may very well be that neither player is on the board when the Packers draft.

1) I think Ted will be forced to pick a DE in round one, either Brandon Graham or Carlos Dunlop.

2) The second round looks better for CB prospects. (like Dominique Franks or Chris Cook)

3) OT may not get addressed until round 3 with Jared Veldheer or Jason Fox.

Ted Thompson does suprise us with his picks but that is the way my big board is shaping up.

1) I think Ted will be forced to pick a DE in round one, either Brandon Graham or Carlos Dunlop.

Carlos Dunlop? Exactly where would he fit on our defense? Not physical enough to play DE in a 3-4 defense and he is not athletic enough to play LB.

Also Brandon Graham has never played LB, I'm not trying to draft a project with our 1st pick when we can get a player like Jason Worilds later in the draft.

Not true at all. Character issues aside, Davis is BPA. He does fill a need but that is not at all why I chose him. I'm not looking to take the best OT available, but if Bulaga, Trent Williams or Davis are there at 23, they are most likely going to be the best player available based on talent.

Move the Sticks has Graham gone within the first 20 picks.

1) Dunlop is huge 6' 6" 280lbs. I think he fits the 3-4.

2) Graham was the wrong name. Sorry, Everson Griffen DE USC was the player I meant. The little woman was bugging me while I typed.
Everson Griffen is 6' 3 1/2" and 275.

You are correct Graham does not seem to be a 3-4 DE. I misspoke.

It is only a guess based on where the players are on my big board,

[CaliforniaCheez]

Move the Sticks has Graham gone within the first 20 picks.

Graham is #18 on my big board.

I should never have mentioned his name but I was getting an earful of her bad day and why I had to order a pizza because she refuses to cook.

[Brandon494]

Dunlop might be 6'6 280 pounds but he is not a 3-4 DE.
