Official 2018 Mock Draft Thread

I like Cichy, but he is always hurt. He's not a starter, just a spot pass rusher, IMO.

Packers picks in Draftwire 4 round Mock Draft. http://draftwire.usatoday.com/2018/0...r-bowl-week/2/

1. Harold Landry - Edge - Boston College
2. James Washington - WR - Oklahoms St.
3. Mike Gersicki - TE - Penn St.
4. Jack Cichy - LB - Wisconsin

I'd love Washington in the 2nd round. What do Badger fans think of Cichy?

Projecting him a pro on 2 memorable games and a handful of other plays seems dangerous. He seems small to me but I don't know his measurables. He played mostly inside

[Teamcheez1]

Packers have a lot of picks. Could be a good year for it.

I'm with you on this. With 106 underclassmen declared so far, it will change the whole complexion of the draft.

They got the priority of positions right. What I could find out on Landry was not too hot - very unspectacular stats and kinda short at 6'3 for an edge rusher. I like what I read about Marcus Davenport better.

Washington does seem too good to last until mid second round. He's a deep threat that would be nice to get.

Gesicki seems stiff even though he isn't overly big. I think we could do better farther down in the draft. I will be watching for him in the Senior Bowl though. We need Jimmy Graham plus a mid round athletic draft pick TE even if he's a project.

My heart says Cichy in the 4th is good. My head says he will be around in the 5th or 6th and would be a bargain then. What I really want is Clay Matthews at ILB paired with Martinez. Then we don't really need to draft one.

Landry had an ankle injury in 2017 which caused him to miss their last 5 games. He was dominant in 2016 with 16 sacks. His draft position could well depend on whether teams feel the ankle is still an issue.

What kind of injury was it?

What kind of injury was it?

I'm guessing it's an ankle sprain. I've read nothing to indicate surgery was needed. He does not appear to be on the Senior Bowl roster, although he was invited. Guess we'll have to wait until the Combine to find out about him.

[texaspackerbacker]

What kind of injury was it?

His stats were not very good in '17 even before he missed those games. Maybe he was playing injured the first 6 or 7 games.

Could be. Or maybe he was getting double-teamed a lot because he was so good in 2016. Film often tells more than stats.

5. Jason Cabinda - ILB - Penn St.

If the Packers draft someone named Ferguson, Bretsky will melt down and someone will be very confused about the PackerRat relationship between them and Turd Ferguson.

[call_me_ishmael]

My gut feeling is the Packers will trade down into the mid-20s or something. Somebody is gonna fall in love with one of the QBs.

I don't think I've ever seen Edmunds, Vea or Davenport play, but I'm good with any of them in that order. Vea may not fit the ideal spot but getting a huge and powerful line will enable line backers to run free and make things happen.
