2011 PackerRats community mock second draft

[retailguy]

Harrell just put a contract out on your life. But I agree. For what that's worth.

[RashanGary]

Ingram is like AJ Hawk in 2005. You watch him run. He's big enough, fast enough, plays with great instincts. He played for the best against the best. He looks exactly like they look in the NFL. There is just about zero reason to think he won't be a good NFL RB. I don't get to check out his knee, but assuming that checks out, Ingram is probably the safest player in the whole draft. The Dolphins should be satisfied with their selection.

Ingram is just like A.J. Hawk... in that he will completely fail to live up to the hype, but be an average NFL starter at his position.

[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: J.J. Watt, DE, Wisconsin (Smeefers)
Cowboys: Robert Quinn, DE/OLB, North Carolina (packrulz)
Redskins: A.J. Green, WR, Georgia (JustinHarrell)
Texans: Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska (Lurker64)
Vikings: Ryan Kerrigan, DE, Purdue (TennesseePackerBacker)
Lions: Tyron Smith, OT, USC (get louder at lambeau)
Rams: Aldon Smith, DE, Missouri (PackerPro42)
Dolphins: Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama (Deputy Nutz)

Jaguars are on the clock.

(To restate the rules for people starting on the third page: there are no team assignments, anybody may select for the team currently on the clock just by posting what the pick will be. We ask that everybody restrict themselves to making one pick per day. When it comes time for the Packers to pick, we will do a poll.)

AJ Hawk is a really good LB. At around pick 15, teams have had the likes of Justin Harrell or Jamaal Reynolds. I think AJ Hawk at pick 15 would be pretty darn good. Ingram is just like Hawk in that sense and whoever takes him, if it's in that range, is going to be satisfied. Top 5 pick? No, he'll probably disappoint. Mid 1st, he'll make somebody happy.

The Jaguars select DeQuan Bowers and would formally like to thank the Titans, Cowboys, Vikings, and Rams for taking lesser defensive players due to the leaks coming out about the knee that were being created by the mad genius Hoody who is hoping to select him at pick 17.

Hoody is very unhappy as he was salivating at nabbing this guy but his manipulation did not work this time !

I don't get this pick, they have a shit load of money wrapped up in defensive end, and they have an aging nose tackle, but their offensive line absolutely killed their offense in all aspects of the game. The Vikes have a premier running back that has 3 good years left but no one to block for him. They have a horrible secondary, and the best they do is a defensive end?

I know their problems and I know their needs, but I don't agree with the philosophy of reaching for a player to fill a need; some do. I see no value at secondary or nose tackle right now. DE is a major need for the Vikings with Edwards due to leave via free agency (under the old CBA). Pick 1b was Tyron Smith. I made the pick based on what I would do. Maybe that was a mistake. Kerrigan seemed to be the best value at pick 12.

IMO the Vikings probably wouldn't make the safer pick in Kerrigan and take the gamble on Bowers. I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see the Vikes take a DE at 12 if the right value is there. As I stated earlier, Tyron Smith would also be a very strong candidate.

Kerrigan? They're letting that Zerg bitch play football???

(ok, maybe 1% of the ppl here will get that)

I agree with you that he seemed to be the best player on the board, the only one that would be arguable is, of course, Bowers. But if you removed him from the board, then he wasn't an option. Prince should've been an option if he had dropped one more spot.

Another option would've been reaching for Locker...but that would've been a reach, IMO.

The Patriots select Cameron Jordan, DE, Cal. The Patriots have been searching, unsuccessfully for a 5-tech opposite of Ty Warren since trading Richard Seymour away and being bludgeoned by the hated Jets on the ground in the playoffs last year just underscores this need. Jordan's senior bowl campaign suggests that he has the ability to be absolutely dominant against NFL Tackles if he receives good coaching and in New England he will.

The Chargers are on the clock. The Giants are on deck.

[Guiness]

The Broncos take Nick Fairley, DT

We didn't like the QB's enough to pull the trigger. AJ Green might be the best player in this draft, but DT's who can move like Fairley are even more rare than probowl receivers, so we went with the rare big guy. Fairley and Dummerville are a good start to Denver's new 4-3 front.

Looks like this is getting less and less likely - Fairley's proving to be a real douche.

San Diego needs a pass rusher at DE and also pondered Clayborne

San Diego Chargers Select
Muhammad Wilkerson, DE, Temple*
Wilkerson is certainly one of the great talents of the draft who is receiving almost no media attention. He's a huge guy that a lot of 3-4 teams will look at to play DE but his versatility in a 4-3 could be something very special as well

Kerrigan? They're letting that Zerg bitch play football???

(ok, maybe 1% of the ppl here will get that)

I got it. Can't believe you pulled that one out. LOL

[Bretsky]

come on guys; let's knock this off this weekend so we can get to the second vote

NFN Network....Michael Lombardi just called Brooks Reed the guy people will look back and and say, that dude should have been picked in the top TEN

Great Motor, pass rusher, and leader

[Cheesehead Craig]

Well, I picked for the Giants in the other draft so I'll do it here too.

The Giants take T Anthony Castanzo, Boston College

The G-Men need help on the OL as they have far too many question marks there and cannot have the strategy to hope those guys improve. He's the top T on the board and will help keep the whining pussy Eli Manning upright and continue to show why he's overrated.
