2014 Green Bay Packers 7 Round Mock Draft

[Brandon494]

I like it, good job. I like going with one of the athletic TE's in the draft with our first pick. A lot of good Wr's though, I would like to pick one higher than the 5th.

I tried to go heavy on defense after taking a TE with the 1st pick but I could see them taking a WR in the 3rd or 4th round depending on what they do in FA.

Ok, one more question. If your scenario plays out, the Browns have 3 1st round picks in a deep draft....will they still suck due to management chaos?

Vikings had 3 first rounders last year and they are still umm... yeah...

this isn't the first time the browns have changed management, and they're always a mess

gotta be something in the water, probably the same stuff that causes lake erie to burn

The Ultimate Sports Curse: The City of Cleveland

Brandon, nice job, although I'd argue that some of the picks feel a bit early for me.
Wasn't sold on Niklas...especially at 35 and with guys like Amaro and Fiedorwzxqz likely still on the board, but I think he has more upside. They'd have to sign a vet like Quarless for sure though -- I think Niklas isn't ready to step into a starter's lineup. Also skeptical about Boyd; I think there will be other WRs there with a lot less baggage. Looks like he has good hands, but running a 4.7+ 40 means he's almost as slow as Niklas.

I really like the idea of trading with CLE.
For fun, I'll throw out
35. Jordan Matthews, WR
53. Troy Niklas, TE
71. DaQuan Jones, DT
85. Terrence Brooks, S
R3 Comp Christian Jones, LB
TT trades the rest of his picks for the entire 7th round, drafts a bunch of OTs so CampenSlocum can convert them to Guard/Punter, and re-signs Shields, Pickett, Kuhn, Jolly and Lattimore. Raji, JJ, Finley, CJ Wilson, Francois, et. al., are not retained. EDS is kept if he gets a Garza/Raiola type of deal.

[Brandon494]

Troy Niklas is rated higher then both the TEs you mentioned though. He also has the NFL bloodline...Clay Matthew is his cousin who some also thought couldn't step into a starters role right away.

Also don't focus so much on 40 times for WRs...Boykin had a 4.7 40 time. I like your picks especially Jordan Matthews but I don't think we would take two offensive players first with our current defense unless we make some changes in FA.

i'm not a fan of any players from ND, they always seemed to be more hype then substance and most turn out to be flops in the NFL

Very true. 40 times are helpful to gauge downfield speed...personally, I'm more interested in whether they can run a route, get separation, and catch the ball with their hands (not body). I like Matthews because of his size, and production in the SEC. Familiarity with a Rodgers (Jordan) and the bloodlines (Jerry Rice) don't hurt.

As for Niklas, I didn't like him at first but I think with a year or two of good coaching he could be a good one. I don't think he'll be the best of them next year but in Year 3 he could be pretty darn good. He's a project and a risk, and I'm skeptical TT goes that route. I do think he'll fill out the DLine and probably add an interior OL unless they keep EDS or think Barclay can do it. All the rumblings indicate they really like Tretter, they'll need someone else to play C-G. They are also talking about a QB (JSO was pumping David Fales, FWIW) and I like your Matthews suggestion.

One of the mocks someone threw out here had Devon Kennard and DeAndre Coleman in the R4/5...thought those were pretty good picks as well. Wouldn't be surprised if Neal gets a Waldenesque offer and they have to add an OLB.

I think TT will draft players that I didn't see coming but will make sense in hindsight. I also think taking offense with one of their first 3 picks is likely. (Don't think it will be QB, RB, or OT though.)

BTW if I didn't mention it, nice work. I appreciate it when posters put time into a good read.

ditto...an outstanding effort Brandon 494.

To get that done so soon is also a testament to your preparation. Your knowledge of the college game.

GO PACK GO !

[Carolina_Packer]

I think Marqueston Huff would be a reach as a second pick. I think there would be better rated talent, even at his position, at that point of the draft. I like the balance of offense and defense that you chose. I was waiting for an impact DL. I'm sure the Packers will address the DL, I'm just not sure how.

[Smeefers]

Our Defense doesn't want an impact DT. Look at Raji. Dude has the skills to be a pass disrupter but instead they ask him to be a hole plugger. They don't want DT's who have the ability to close the pocket. They wan't DT's that will hold the line for the run defense. And for that, all you need is some 350 # fatty. We can pick up two of those in the undrafted range.

I'll join the chorus on this one.

That is one king hell job, Brandon.

If we do a deal with Cleve, should we get more than a 2-3?

Mebbe a 1-3?

I don't know, I just wanna get in an argument over something football related.

Maybe if a good player drops to us and they really want to move up to get him.
