Reading Brandons mock got me excited. So I figured I would do my own because it is fun and I have other stuff I need to do that I don't want to do.
1.28 Jared Crick Nebraska DE, The elite pass rushers should all be gone at this point in the draft. If a player like Nick Perry is still available or Courtney Upshaw the Packers could easily go that direction, but Crick provides the Packers a defensive end that can play on all three downs, as Crick can hold up against the run and has demonstrated that he can get after the passer as a 3 tech tackle, or a 5 tech end. Crick battled injuries his senior year, missing the last half of the year after tearing his pectoral muscle, but he was able to bench press 225, 26 times at his pro day proving that he is healthy going into the draft. He was a sure fire first round pick in 2011 but chose to stay in college for his senior year. He won't make it to the Packers in round two and most scouts don't have a 1st round grade attached to him, so I could see the Packers move back and take him in the early part of the second round.
2.27 Jamell Flemming CB Oklahoma, The Packers could trade up or down from the first round, but without a doubt it is hard hoping for Shea McCellin to land in the Packers lap if they stay put in the second round. McClellin is a hard nose lunch box and hard hat football player that would be a perfect fit for the Packers defense and the Green Bay community, but the Packers will have to do some moving on day 2 of the draft to land him. The Packers would also like to get the hands on cornerback Alfonzo Dennard from Nebraska, but he is coveted corner at the end of round 1. Dennard is a big imposing cornerback that can play in man coverage and off in zone. A sure tackler, but a bit injury prone, and his straight line speed isn't going to blow any one away. the Packers will settle for Jamell Flemming from Oklahoma who has the same the same 40 time as Dennard, and is about the same size at 5'11' 205 pounds. Flemming had a fantastic Senior Bowl demonstrating ability at the los and falling back into zone.
3.27 Jonathan Massaquoi OLB Troy, The Packers bolster their pass rush with Massaquoi, but are going to have to coach him up and polish him because he is a raw football player at this point. He has tremendous ability to get to the passer, but needs work with his technique. Played out of position as defensive end at Troy, frame is built more for a hybrid pass rusher. Might be a weakness in coverage. If drafted a team should only draft him with the expectations that his rookie year he will impact only as a pass rusher.
4.28 Mike Brewster C Ohio St, Again the Packers might have to move up in the 4th round to make this selection. Brewster started 48 games for the Buckeyes and was the leader on the offensive line. Smart football player and responsible for setting the line and blocking assignments. He works well in tight spaces, and is quick off the ball in pass pro, might get beat in the run game by quicker defenders.
