Every year I seem to go through exactly the same process when draft time nears. Step 1 : I excitedly begin researching eligible players & find they all look terrific. Step 2 : Then, when I begin to notice the flaws, I can't find ANYONE I'd like the Pack to draft. Step 3 : Finally, I revisit the scouting reports, look at any tape I can find - and begin to identify players that seem - at least to me - to be intriguing.
So I thought it might be fun to compile a list of players I'd like the Pack to draft, keeping in mind their round positions - stretching across all rounds. Since their first pick is #26, you will not find the Luke Joeckels & Dee Milliners on the list - just players that the Packers could have reasonable shots at.
These are mine - and I hope you will share yours.
-Margus Hunt, DE, SM : I tend to shy away from the 'athletic freaks' that appear like clockwork each year - but this guy intrigues me. And if he didn't have the nagging negatives (age, experience) - he wouldn't be AVAILABLE at # 26! (if he is, indeed, available).
- A.J. Klein, ILB, Ohio State : just a pure football player.
- Brian Schwenke, C, Cal - nasty & smart.
-Brian Winters, G, Kent State : another pure football player.
-Michael Mauti, OLB, Penn State : instinctive linebacker.
-D.J. Swearinger, S, SC : An intimidator who can bring a physical presence to the secondary.
-Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas : a natural leader.
-Bennie Logan, DT, LSU : Overshadowed by teammates, but a relentless worker.
-John Simon, DE, Ohio State : Another pure football player.
Well, there's mine. Yours?
