2011 PackerRats community mock second draft

[Bretsky]

Baltimore Ravens:
Cameron Heyward, DE/DT, Ohio State
Brian Baldinger recently said on "Path to the Draft" he knows for a fact if this dude slips to the Ravens they are taking him. This was a hard choice between him and Jimmy Smith.

This makes a ton of sense. Heyward is one of the top players available and fills a need for Baltimore; left end Cory Redding had a pretty miserable year overall.


Other consideration would have been Jimmy Smith

5 MORE PICKS BEFORE POLL #2................KEEP ER ROLLING............GET ER DONE

I kind of wanted to wait to draft for Hoody Genius but I'm away this afternoon so I plugged in the pick here.

If we're rating this gig on BPA to me there are two players left above the rest and it will be interesting to see if they get nabbed before Green Bay

Falcons draft Gabe Carimi, OT, Badger

[Guiness]

OK, looking at the board, the next OT is a bit of a reach.at #24. So I'll change direction and pick defense, though I think the remaining DEs are also a reach. I thought hard about this guy:

Really? I thought there were a lot of OL that looked good when I picked Pouncey. Him, Sherrod and Carimi would all have been viable picks.

[Bretsky]

Falcons draft Gabe Carimi, OT, Badger

There goes one of the 2 guys I thought were a step above the rest; nice pick.

It was my dream for TT to get Carimi........but honestly........the more I map this out the more of a pipe dream it seems.

At worst, da Bears would be celebrating to get Carimi.....and that would be pure hell so I guess I should just hope he gets chosen earlier

Guys like Pouncey and Carimi IMO will go between 18 and 30 (plz not da Bears) at worst.

Sherrod is the one guy I think has a chance to fall to us. TT might end up picking from Sherrod and an OLB IMO

[Bretsky]

FYI, Wilkerson went #18 to San Diego.

Phil Taylor and Akeem Ayers are also off the board

[Tarlam!]

I thought Carimi was off the board and I'm now little about Sherrod. When JH picked Carimi I bit my own ass. Hard. I told you guyz I suck at this stuff!

I've seen Akeem Ayers going to NO in some mock drafts; that was a fine pick IMO

[Bretsky]

only 4 picks to GB !!!

Passing on Carimi is reasonable. There are NFL teams who will view him as a RT/OG and not an LT (there are teams that projected Bulaga similarly, and Bulaga's got better feet than Carimi, so you can extrapolate based on that.)
