    The Pats moved up from #27 to #21 to get **DE Chandler Jones. By sitting tight and picking a player rated slightly above ** I see it as TT doing very well picking DE Nick Perry. TT believes he will transition well or he wouldn't have selected this man to play opposite Clay Matthews.

    • Hargrove is a better pass rushing DE than we had all last year too. With Perry in the mix, we're going to get some pressure. Clay and Raji will get a lot more 1 on 1's.

      • A perfect Cowboy:

        One of the more surprising stores in advance of the draft related to the score generated by cornerback Morris Claiborne on the Wonderlic.


        Claiborne says that he came to the Combine to work on football. Saw no football questions on the Wonderlic so he stopped after 15-18 questions. I think I saw this in Miracle on Ice too.
        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        • Out of all the OLB prospects I liked he was the one I liked the least. With that being said, I'm on board and am hoping we get a nice DL in round two. As I had noted and expected a OLB run occured in the 20's before our pick. Between our round two and three pick and three round four picks I'm hoping we take at least one more DL as well and if the right OLB falls I'll take another. You never have enough quality depth at those spots.

          With that being said, I have a funny feeling a RB like Polk may be our second round pick.

            But Perry and Alabama's Courtney Upshaw both slipped all the way to the Packers and general manager Ted Thompson had to make a decision.

            • Lots of good players left in round 2, I could see a DT like Crick or Wolfe: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/ro...fter-round-one

                • I am a big fan of Jared Crick, he would be a nice fit in Green Bay. Packers will most likely have to move up, and I think it wouldn't cost the Packers a whole lot to move up 10 to 15 picks in the second round to land a quality defensive linemen

                    Never thought Upshaw would slide. Him and Perry were both kind of all round guys. Good against the run, rush the QB guys. Everybody wants "the hammer" a rusher who can't be stopped.

                    Let's hope TT's board conquers all one more time.

                      And now that we have a big boy behind that RDE we can afford to have a quicker, more pass rush oriented DE too. Crick is a big 4-3 DE. He's a small 3-4 DE. Just like Perry, he's kind of in, inbetween land.

                      Pass rushers have the highest correlation between athletic numbers (particularly explosion) and success. Perry was at or near the top of that list in this years draft. But he's a tweener. Maybe that's why he dropped. Waldo had a list of pass rushers over the last 5 years with numbers like Perry and something like 80% of them turn into 10 sack guys.

                      • I was pretty high on Upshaw a couple of months ago, and then I watch some film on him and all I could think was that he was as stiff as a board. He didn't move all that well, and their was very little explosion from the guy. Funny how all of a sudden all the scouts are saying the same thing about him. Really it is not that hard to go to youtube and watch some of these films and get an idea about a player. When I watched the film before the combine I couldn't believe some of the talking heads had him going in the top half of the first round. I thought Ingram was a better player than Upshaw, but he simply got by on being a better athlete than the guys he was going against. Teams are going to have to work on finding him a position and then working on actual pass rushing moves, and technique.

                        I liked Perry because he jumps off the ball, and crashes the line of scrimmage. Sure he isn't as fluid as a guy like Mathews, but as far as outside linebackers go I would have had Shea a head of him, and that is it. I really liked Perry at 28, I think if the Packers keep him motivated to improve he could be the steal of the draft on the defensive side of the ball.

                          These guys are on board with you.



                          And the think we can get him without trading up. Maybe you can go 2 for 2.

                            I had the same thoughts as you on Shea and Upshaw before the draft. I'm now with you on Perry. Well done sir, and please don't leave us.

                            • I actually had the Packers taking Crick in the first round. I thought he was the best defensive end available but had a really tough year in 2011, and his stock has dropped. His test numbers are pretty good, and his film is good. I think he solidifies the Packes front seven.

                              On other news their isn't a Safety worth taking until round 3, and that is if your being nice.

                              • This second day mock doesn't even have Crick going in round 2.

                                From what I've read Reyes and Crick sound like two ideal players for us. Are there any other 3-4 DEs that you'd be happy with in the 2nd round or 3rd round?
