2011 PackerRats community mock second draft

[3irty1]

I'll go next. SF has their option here of the two best players in the draft: Patrick Peterson and AJ Green. Peterson makes the most sense so they would go with him.

[Lurker64]

Panthers: Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama (Lurker64)
Broncos: Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn (JustinHarrell)
Bills: Cam Newton, QB, Auburn (Smeefers)
Bengals: Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri (Guiness)
Cardinals: Von Miller, LB, Texas A&M (Deputy Nutz)
Browns: Julio Jones, WR, Alabama (Freak Out)
49ers: Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU (3irty1)

Titans are on the clock.

Just a reminder to anyone who didn't read the whole thread, anyone can pick for any team. You just can't pick twice in one day. So if you open the thread, see the Titans are up next, the first person to pick for them gets the pick.

[Guiness]

With the sixth pick in the 2011 NFL draft the Cleveland Browns take WR Julio Jones. From National Football Post:

JJ over AJ? I'm surprised by that, I thought Green was considered the better all around player. Why Julio? Does he fit their scheme better?

Better measurables and better character probably. Green was the more productive player in college, but Jones has better tools it's just that he didn't get to showcase them and hone his craft playing in a very run-heavy Alabama offense. Green is the consensus #1, but it's not clear cut so it wouldn't actually be a surprise to see them go in either order.

Great idea for a mock draft format.

[Smeefers]

The Titans were disappointed that Darius AND Fairly went 1-2. Even though they have a glareing need at quarterback, the top two in the draft are already gone and the left overs aren't worthy of this high a pick. That leaves Robert Quinn (LB) and JJ. Watt (DE) as their highest ranked players. They could reach for Bowers, but that questionable knee is to much of a chance for a top ten pick. And so, with the 8th pick, the Tennesse Titans pick JJ Watt, DE, Wisconsin.

[packrulz]

I'll draft for big D, they have many needs, RT, DL, DB come to mind, their defense was one of the worst in the NFL last season, and with Quinn still on the board, he's just what the doctor ordered.
The Dallas Cowboys select:

Robert Quinn, DE/OLB, North Carolina: The most explosive pass rusher in the draft, Quinn is capable of becoming a star off the edge for either a 4-3 or 3-4 team. That kind of versatility could equate to a top-seven pick.

The Redskins are on the clock...

Panthers: Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama (Lurker64)
Broncos: Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn (JustinHarrell)
Bills: Cam Newton, QB, Auburn (Smeefers)
Bengals: Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri (Guiness)
Cardinals: Von Miller, LB, Texas A&M (Deputy Nutz)
Browns: Julio Jones, WR, Alabama (Freak Out)
49ers: Patrick Peterson, CB, LSU (3irty1)
Tennesse Titans, JJ Watt, DE, Wisconsin (Smeefers)
Dallas Cowboys, Robert Quinn, DE/OLB, North Carolina (packrulz)

How are we selecting the Packers pick?

[RashanGary]

Redskins rush to their card to the commish and select AJ Green, WR, Georgia. Big, Fast, runs great routes and has great hands, Green has every skill needed to be an excellent pro.

[get louder at lambeau]

Redskins with the steal of the draft?

[RashanGary]

I'd rather have WR's who are elite at tracking the ball and catching than guys with 4.3 speed. 4.4 speed is just fine. Jennings wasn't a burner because he was a 4.4 guy, but all he does is destroy fools. This guy is a gamer. You hate to take a WR this high, you'd rather have a big guy, but since I don't know anything about drafting and I do know this guy has skills, I'm going with Green.

[Deputy Nutz]

I don't like the Titans pick. JJ Watt doesn't fit their scheme, sure he can play as a 4-3 end but I don't think teams want to draft him as a 4-3 end in the first round. His ability leans towards being an end in a 3-4 scheme and Dallas or the Pats will draft him high in the first round but few 4-3 teams will make him a high selection. I thought Prince Amukamara CB Nebraska.

[Freak Out]

JJ over AJ? I'm surprised by that, I thought Green was considered the better all around player. Why Julio? Does he fit their scheme better?

It was almost a flip of the coin deal but in the end I saw a few mocks that had him going to Cleveland so I went with that. Now I don't track draft boards like most of you losers but Green is ranked #1 on many.....so why didn't he go before He did here?

Last year, the Houston Texans were a Fantasy Football team. In addition to scoring a lot of points, they gave up a huge number of points most of them to opposing quarterbacks and wide receivers. If there are words to describe how terrible the Houston secondary was last year, I dare not type them.

As such, the Texans run to the podium to turn in the card for Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska.

Vikings are on the clock, as tempting as it would be to give them a punter, we should probably make a legitimate pick.

I'll pick for the Queens.
