KUDOS for nailing Perry

Nice mock 494. I like the RB.....I like the James pick by 72 as well.

[woodbuck27]

Perry sucks. IMO.

Then your NOT happy with TT's pick at #28.

It's solid IMO JH. You'll come to like Nick Perry....I hope. (-:

That darn Bill Belichick sure strengthened the Pat's.He's a sly man.

I think that the issue is that Perry doesn't fit in a 3-4 defense at all. Is he an undersized athletic guy who can rush the passer? Sure. But can he play in space? I really doubt it. He's seriously stiff in the hips, doesn't move well laterally, and he doesn't have the luxury of being a straight line athlete because he's rushing the passer on every down because he's not going to be the top pass rushing OLB (and you don't send both OLBs all that often.)

So if you're going to play like a hybrid 3-4/4-3 defense where you drop Clay Matthews into coverage most of the time, you can take Perry but if you want to play a traditional Capers-LeBeau 34 and have Clay Matthews as the primary pass rusher, I just don't see Perry being able to fit in the other role. He'd pretty much be limited to a third down "get after the passer" specialist, and you can get a guy like Bruce Irvin much later in order to do that.

Personally, I think Branch and Mercilus are much better physically suited to playing in space (Mercilus may struggle with it mentally) than Perry is.

Just for the record:

Whitney Mercilus was gone at #26. DE Courtney Upshaw (Grade 90) and DT Devon Still (Grade 89) are still on the board after the completion of Rd. 1.

The Draft 'EXPERTS' arn't saying too much as yet about DE/OLB (3-4) Nick Perry to PACKERS. I loved him a month ago and as this draft got closer began to see something else. I'm OK with this pick.

Who would you pick Lurker64?

C. Upshaw or N. Perry?

[King Friday]

Good call Brandon.

I'm very interested to find out where Thompson had Perry and Shea ranked in comparison to each other. I was pretty sure we'd take one of those guys if they were still on the board at our pick...but I was worried both might get snapped up earlier.

[George Cumby]

1 down 12 to go

Strong work.

[Zool]

KUDOS for nailing Perry

Katy?

[Scott Campbell]

Katy?

She sure has got some measureables.

[Freak Out]

No doubt.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't remember seeing any other mock drafts with Perry going to Packers

[pbmax]

No doubt.

I found myself listening to one of her songs in the car the other day. Not because I like the song but because it put a picture of her in my head. I think I am officially a dirty old man.

Time for a sports car.


And nice call Brandon on the other Perry.

[Scott Campbell]

No doubt.

You're thinking of Gwen Stefani.

[George Cumby]

You're thinking of Gwen Stefani.

Gwen>>>>Katy

But I'd still hit Katy. If I was 20 year younger, rich, famous, narcissistic and not me.

Keep reaching for the stars!

[Brandon494]
