Who Should TT Pick In 1st Round? - Pre-Senior Bowl Edition

[Joemailman]

I'm figuring there are 15 players who in all likelihood will be gone before the Packers pick. They are:

Jake Matthews, Jadeveon Clowney, Terry Bridgewater, Greg Robinson, Sammy Watkins, Blake Bortles, Anthony Barr, Darqueze Dennard, Johnny Manziel, Khalil Mack, C. J. Moseley, Mike Evans, Cyrus Kouandijo, Eric Ebron, and Taylor Lewan. Of course, if you think I'm wrong, go with the guy you want.

Poll to follow.

I'm going with Nix, partly because I feel Raji, and possibly Pickett will be gone.

i'm going with calvin pryor right now

i absolutely do not want to waste any more first and second round picks on d-linemen for a system that doesn't require superstars or pass rushers

Prolly shouldn't vote for Vic Beasley as he is returning to school next year....

go ahead and pick him, chances of the packers picking him are probably just as good as the team picking any of the other guys on the list

this is TT we're talking about

famous for picking justin harrell, and trading out of the first round when a safety was available when we needed one, only to draft a WR we didn't need at the time (brandon flowers, jordy nelson)

A solid, contributing starter for the defense. Someone who doesn't get hurt all the time, can start and make the defense better from day one. That's who TT should pick in the 1st round.

I don't typically like non-SEC DL players but the RaShese Hageman guy seems pretty prototypical in size. How is his motor?

Maybe slight concerns about his motor.

Weaknesses: At times struggles to locate the football quickly, can appear a bit stiff changing directions and shows just average speed and determination in pursuit, despite being subbed often.

Hagemen is a classic boom-or-bust candidate. He has dominant stretches of play and long dry spells as well. His pad level needs to be lowered against both the run and pass.

Red, you've got some classic rips (like "Stubby's coaching shrub"), but it's not a good criticism you make here when the guy TT drafted instead of the one you wanted turns out to be the Packers' best wide receiver...and one of the best in the league.

Red was not wrong either; both of us were screaming for a Pro Bowl CB at the same time.
TT did well with Jordy Nelson but Flowers is an outstanding CB as well.

[Fritz]

You can hardly fault the pick, however. Now that Brian Brohm pick, now that one...

I didn't know AJ Hawk had a brother.

So you'd take Pryor over Ha-Ha? I haven't seen either so I have no opinion. Nix would be ok, there will be a need on the DL, but I agree they can probably find someone in later rounds.

I have no issue with the Jordy pick. He's a borderline all-star. I had hoped the Brohm pick would pan out but he was clear pretty quickly that he was a bust. Tough way to waste a R2 pick. I think that was also the Patrick Lee draft as well -- TT went 1/3 in R2 that year. Ouch.

[Fritz]

Seems like the kind of player they need at the nose can be developed . And thus had in a middle round?

Get Your Ha-Ha's Out was a great live album.
