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

[woodbuck27]

you never know

i new mock on yahoo has pryor going #13, and ha ha going #19

however they also have mosley dropping right into our laps at #21

the way pryor has shot up boards since he declared that he was coming out early makes me think there is no way he lasts to the second round anymore

Yes... I'm thinking he will be around TT's NO. 21 slot.

it might be one of... and I omit a pick on offense as TT has so much need on 'D' or >>> GO BPA DEFENSE:

ILB: C.J. Mosley, AlABAMA


DL and: DT and RaShede Hageman, MINNESOTA; Louis Nix III, NOTRE DAME or DE Scott Crichton, OREGON State.


CB and: Justin Gilbert, OKLAHOMA State or Marcus Roberson, FLORIDA


I see ILB as "a higher priority"... but maybe? OLB and Ryan Shazier, OHIO ST. or Vic Beasley, CLEMSON

GO PACK GO !

Why are offensive players even on this poll?

I find both the top rated safeties offensive. TT will pick neither.

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.

I went with Pryor over Ha-Ha because I doubt he'll be there when our turn comes.

Really. We need a TE but this is a deep TE class and we can get one in later rounds.

Nobody picked Hageman, but if the Packers are looking to get more athletic with their DE's, he would make a lot of sense. Over at http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/mock-draft, 3 out of 4 have the Packers taking Hageman. All 4 have Calvin Prior going with the next pick.

Hageman was electronically clocked running the 10 yard split a tenth of a second faster than Clay Matthews did during his combine. He supposedly runs the 40 yard dash in 4.7 seconds (some MLBs are jealous) and he's 315 lbs

He's in that category of "You can't teach size" I think this guy is boom or bust; depends on his internal motor, because he's just a terror physically - Julius Peppers big, fast, and strong. But is he a slouch??

[smuggler]

I have heard differing opinions on his motor. Some people say he's an animal who never stops. Some people say he's an underachiever. It may be that he disappeared in games and people pegged him as a slouch. If that's the case, it could be because the Gophers didnt really have anybody else of note playing on their Dline and he got gangbanged in a game or two by superior competition.

You know me, I always want to build defense, defense, defense... but I've given up any hope that the Packers can build a credible defense as long as Capers is calling the shots.

He did a fairly effective job the first 2 years he was here, but that was with personnel he inherited. Now that he has had a say in personnel for 5 years now, our defense is a dysfunctional, unproductive mess.

Anyone they draft on defense will be a square peg for a round hole, and be misused and wasted by Capers anyway.

Might as well go offense, offense, offense, lol... simply try to outscore everyone 48-47

If you look at where Eric Reid went last year I think its pretty optimistic to expect Pryor to fall out of the first round. In fact with the Lions canning Delmas I wonder if them and Dallas will ruin our shot at a first round safety.

[smuggler]

A lot depends on the combine. If he runs a sub 4.5 40 yard dash, he's going to get scooped by someone as BPA. But, even if he makes it to the second round, he would not make it to our pick.

I voted for the DT RaShese Hageman from Minnesota. I like Nix but he is coming off an ACL tear and I like Hageman versatility a lot more. If he was taken off the board I would go with FS Ha Ha Clinton-Dix from ALABAMA!

[smuggler]

Unfortunately, Nix's knee injury was a meniscus tear. He opted for thr repair instead of the partial removal, fwiw.

I don't follow the pre-draft stuff too much - would this meniscus tear drop Nix enough for the Pack to nab him in the first?

[smuggler]

Yes. I doubt that he will be fully prepared for the combine. He was considered a 10-20 kind of pick before he was hurt. It may be possible for a team trading up in the second to snag him, but it's nothing more than conjecture really because the combine could change things quite a bit.
