Packer Rats MOCK DRAFT

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Well done.

Von Miller looks like he's going to be a very good player, and should have an immediate impact on the Card's defense. He's at a more impactful position than the CB I took, and this could easily prove to be the best pick of the first round.

Thanks, I think this pick makes a lot if sense.

1. Carolina Panters - packrulz - Carolina has needs all over, including quarterback, but the loss of Peppers has left a gaping hole on their defensive line, and new coach Ron Rivera is defensive minded, Panthers select: Da'Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson

2. Denver Broncos - packrulz* - The Broncos also have needs all over, however, new coach John Fox is switching to the 4-3 defense, and the Broncos D was ranked worst in the NFL last season, so defensive help is a glaring need. They resigned Champ Bailey at CB, and a decent QB should still be around in the second round. After watching Ndamukong Suh take the NFL's defensive rookie of the year award, Fox is looking at a dominating DT who had an amazing combine and zoomed up draft charts, the Broncos select: Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama

3. Buffalo Bills - Guiness - The Bills are left with a real poser here. They fully expected Carolina to cave to pressure, and opt for the sexy pick, Cam Newton. That would have made their job a lot easier. The Bills would like to add a QB, and Cam Newton would be the one they want. The Bills would consider a DT, having lost Stroud this year. But Denver, surprisingly, picked Dareus, who played 5 tech in college and would fit in Buffalo's scheme, over Fairley, who projects better in a 4-3. But when it comes down to it, the NFL is a copy cat league. Green Bay won the Super Bowl this year by having top flight corners and playing a lot of nickel. Terrence McGee is getting old, and has missed a lot of games these past couple of years. Peterson is the most talented player in this draft. The Bill select Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU.

4. Cincinnati Bengals - TennesseePackerBacker - The Bengals have no choice but to take their pick of quarterbacks. It's all but a done deal that Carson Palmer will not play another game for the team, and Jordan Palmer couldn't be a number 3 on most team's depth charts. The real question is, Blaine Gabbert or Cam Newton? This prognosticator thinks it won't even be much of a question after Gabbert's pro day. It's also no secret that the Cardinals think very highly of Gabbert and are praying he falls to number 5. Everything about the Bengals organization screams Cam Newton. And, I'll probably regret not picking him in this mock, as the Bengals very well could take him in the real draft. However...With the fourth overall pick in the 2011 draft, the Bengals select Blaine Gabbert.

5. Arizona Cardinals - PaCkFan_n_MD - The cards not too long ago switched to the 34 defense and need to add a few more impact players on that side of the ball to be effective. They have some good young talent in Dockett, Rodgers-Cromartie, and Wilson, but need a dominant outside pass rusher to move them up the defensive rankings. Luck for them that player is sitting there waiting for them. The azcardinals select: VON MILLER

6. Cleveland Browns - Smidgeon - The Browns are working on overcoming many seasons of ineptitude. With a defense-heavy draft last year and a QB already in the fold, the Browns look to give Colt a weapon by selecting A. J. Green

7. San Francisco - mraynrand
8. Tennesse Titans - PaCkFan_n_MD*
9. Dallas Cowboys - Spaulding
10. Washington Redskins - pbmax
11. Houston Texans -gbpackfan*
12. Minnesota Vikings - Mission

14. St. Louis Rams - Bretsky
15. Miami Dolphins - 3irty1

17. New England Patriots - Joemailman
18. San Diego Chargers - SavedByGrace
19. New York Giants - Cheesehead Craig
20. Tampa Bay Bucs - gbpackfan
21. Kansas City Chiefs - Lurker64
22. Indianapolis Colts - 3irty1*
23. Philadelphia Eagles - Bretsky*
24. New Orleans Saints - SavedByGrace*
25. Seattle Seahawks - packrulz
26. Baltimore Ravens - mission*
27. Atlanta Falcons - Mazzin
28. New England Patroits - Joemailman
29. Chicago Bears - pbmax*
30. New York Jets - Swede*
31. Pittsburgh Steelers - Swede
32. World Champions, your GREEN BAY PACKERS! - Packer Rats poll

[mraynrand]

49ers are shocked that Gabbert, Dareus, Peterson, and Green are all gone. Hairball believes he can coach up Smith or later round QB selection. Niners need to shore up defensive backfield and draft Prince Amukamara, CB from Nebraska.

[3irty1]

Nick Fairley still on the board?!

[pbmax]

Nick Fairley still on the board?!

Who the heck are you, his agent?!

Shanahan is very distressed you spoke out.

[Smidgeon]

Nick Fairley still on the board?!

I would say that's a fairly accurate statement. <snicker>

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Now I feel like I'm selecting him because he was brought up lol! Anyways, titans think about going with Cam Newton, but decide to go BPA: NICK FAIRLEY, DT, Auburn.

[pbmax]

gbpackfan, I would like to formally file tampering charges against 3irty1. Expect a formal, written request within the hour.

[Lurker64]

Fairley falling isn't actually entirely unreasonable. There are character concerns up and out the wazoo with this guy, and the suspicion is that he's got a bit if Haynesworth's personality without having Haynesworth's talent.

So while Fairley could be a great player, he's also an extremely risky pick. Depending on the job security of the person making that pick, he may be less desirable for specifically that reason.

The interesting thing right now is as it stands, there's a realistic chance that Cam Newton falls to the Vikings. Now wouldn't that be entertaining.

Hope this helps pbmax!

Funniest thing I've seen about the draft this year was a mock that had Tennessee taking VY2 - Cam Newton.

oh Spaulding where art thou ??

I seem to remember these threads going about 10x faster than this.
