Random Packer Draft Musing of the Day

[smuggler]

Elephant is the position opposite Matthews in our system, so perry would be a good pick, but he probably won't be there.

Nick Perry...mmmm. Nice. In my analysis Nick Perry may realistically be available to Ted Thompson at or before his 28th pick.

** In 2011, Perry led the Pac-12 with 9.5 sacks and garnered First-team All-Pac-12 honors. He is viewed as one of the best pass rushers in the 2012 Draft, and a likely first-round selection.

We need a solid player to improve on OUR poor pass rush. If TT see's Nick Perry move down the board to him it certainly would be a wise move to consider trading up for this player. It doesn't make much sense to wonder today where Nick Perry will be drafted. Any decisions to trade up or down will be based on TT's board and who will be available close to his 28th pick.

GO TT GO !

in my eyes, from what i've seen and read, perry could very well be the best 3-4 OLB prospect in the draft

he's the one that makes me the moistest anyways

lol whoa

Ummm... still not sure about what folks feel about a Curry & Irvin 1st/2nd roubd.

Ummm... still not sure about what folks feel about a Curry & Irvin 1st/2nd roubd.

In my opinion, Curry is a early/middle 2nd round pick and Irvin is a middle/late 2nd round pick. This is where Bretsky's suggestion of trading down and up to end up with 2 2nd round picks would make sense. I'd be okay with it.

[The Shadow]

If not Curry & Irvins, how would you feel about Currier & Ives?

Ummm... still not sure about what folks feel about a Curry & Irvin 1st/2nd roubd.

they both would play the same position in our system. so taking those 2 in the first two rounds is kind of dumb IMO

[Bretsky]

Ok, like many of you, I've pored over the 3 draft guides I've purchased, read various posts, and studied many mock drafts.
I think - today - I would be quite happy to see Ted trade the #28 down into the early 2nd round IF he was able to slide UP that low 2nd round pick in return.
I think drafting Vinny Curry & Bruce Irvin with the 2 picks might be intriguing. I would groom Curry as a DE; perhaps his first year as a 3rd down pass rush guy (he's a bit light right now for fulltime duty). If Capers feels that Irvin could be viable as an OLB opposite Clay, we'd have 2 terrors off the edge.
This opinion subject to change within the next 20 minutes.

Defensive End & OLB are two different positions.

[Joemailman]

Defensive End & OLB are two different positions.

Both Curry and Irvin are being projected as 3-4 OLB's, regardless of what position they played in college.

[woodbuck27]

Defensive End & OLB are two different positions.

Then we need a player at each position. Ohh wait ! We operate a 3-4 defense. We only need an OLB.
