Stupidly Early Mock Draft

[call_me_ishmael]

I like the SS from USC to play a Rover type role. He is a thick safety that can tackle. Though he didn't stand out to me against UW. I would love a shot to trade up for Jack or Smith at ILB, but that isn't going to happen. They are going to get picked top 10 in my opinion.

Willie Beavers is a magical name.

Well that's enough linemen for two offenses.

Lacking centers.

I don't want a very young tackle from Auburn, I want a veteran.

[pbmax]

Joe Schobert is apparently a 3-4 ILB according to several anonymous scouts who got his numbers from the Shrine Circus. (6' 1 1/2", 247 and short arms)

Bretsky will be along tomorrow to start the draft Joe the Show thread.

[Patler]

I don't want a very young tackle from Auburn, I want a veteran.

Don Barclay is a veteran.

[mraynrand]

Don Barclay is a veteran.

Avery Young = a very young

[Patler]

Avery Young = a very young

Don Barclay is still a veteran.

[mraynrand]

Don Barclay is still a veteran.

What would you think if the Packers drafted Braxton Miller to be WR? He'd certainly be versatile, and might get overlooked because other WR's might get rated much higher. We are clearly a draft and develop team, and Miller is a special athlete, so with a little bit of development, I think he could be really good for this offense, and might have the suddenness to beat man coverage and then the ability in space to get YAC. His upside intrigues me. How about you guys? Would you be happy with him coming to Green Bay?

I'm not sure how much TT and the scouting guys would value him. In the past, we have skipped over "ATHLETE" classification guys in favor of "FOOTBALL PLAYERS" from a receiver standpoint. I'd be excited, sure. He can make plays, even if he might never become a true wide receiver.

He's been making big news at the Senior Bowl. CBS currently has him #80 overall, but he'll be moving up. Very interesting prospect.

I'm sounding like president of his fan club; another impressive day for Braxton Miller. Torching DB's in red zone Crowd going crazy.

Braxton Miller just hobbled off the field with a lower right leg injury. Seems like a calf cramp. Something had to slow him down.

Braxton Miller is a tremendous athlete. It will be interesting to see if his numbers go off the charts at the combine. (I can't see how he can avoid the combine). He has to find a way to catch as many passes as possible in the show-off-season (combine, senior bowl, pro days) to increases his value. His goal is to match Ted Ginn Jr.'s time of 4.28
