PackerRats 1st Round Mock Draft

[esoxx]

The Dolphins cannot believe their eyes seeing a potential franchise type QB fall in to their laps at #11. This is the QB they've had their eyes on the whole time and can hardly contain themselves. After making sure Ashton Kutcher is nowhere in sight and this isn't a retro version of Punk'd, the Miami Dolphins select Josh Rosen - QB UCLA.

The Buffalo Bills are now on the clock.

[Bretsky]

The Raiders are a mess on defense. Secondary is bad. Interior DL is lacking. At LB, NaVorro Bowman showed he had some gas left in the tank but how long does that last? Khalil Mack is skipping off-season activities and wants a new contract. Welcome back to the NFL sidelines Jon Gruden!

After considering Vita Vea, the Raiders just cannot pass up a versatile, big play DB that will be a key to their secondary for years to come.

With the 10th pick in the 2018 draft, the Oakland Raiders select Minkah Fitzpatrick - DB Alabama.

JUST AS I CALLED.........THE FAB FIVE OF BRETSKY'S ARE GONE
NONE OF THEM FELL

TRADE DOWN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's so far in our Mock three QB's off the Board.

[pbmax]

Miami is now on the clock.

I PM'd esoxx to alert.

That's good follow through. Your next personnel evaluation will look favorably on that.

Hey Joe, you are picking after Nutz. I'll PM you.

Salty Nutz and the Buffalo Bills are on the clock.

Might as well just take the Small School Guy with the Big Arm off the board, and put Joey the Mailman on da clock.

[Deputy Nutz]

The Bills take Josh Allen QB Wyoming University.

[pbmax]

Joe is on the clock!

This is literally a nightmare draft. I sincerely hope the bit 5 QBs go before 14. I think at least 4 will. Ideally, they go in the first 6 picks or so, so some good players that will help us fall and we could have the option to trade-up to ensure we get a stud.

Most of these guys are going to be gone, save for a surprise drop.

Washington won't do it here, but even if 5 QBs went, that is only one player moving down toward the Packers. And it just as easily could be the ND Guard than one of the D players.

It hurts to seemingly not have any WR/TE/OTs in the top 10

I do think that the PackerRats draft might be excluding other likelihoods because all we talk about are who we want to see drop. And that happens to be the best defenders plus maybe one WR.

Other mocks less than a week old have Sutton, Guice, Vita Vea (DT), McGlinchey (OT-ND), and Payne (DT) going in Top 13.

But outside of QB, its a very defensive top of the board.

Washington's Pick will be interesting. **

It looks like this day we might begin our Pcker NO. 14 Pick Poll.

I know what ** it ** should be and joemailman will nail it; but let's see.

If ** it ** goes in another direction then the Packer NO. 14 Pick Poll will be very interesting.

I still think there's a reasonable chance the Packers take a QB, but only remotely possible if some teams get cold feet. If you're a bad team with a marginal QB, you almost have to take a QB in the top 10-20, meaning a QB good enough to develop at Rodger's successor won't be available at 14 - and Packer brass figure they have Rodgers for closer to 6 more years than 2.
