PackerRats 1st Round Mock Draft

[yetisnowman]

If we take a QB at 14, I'm gonna punch a baby.

[Joemailman]

The Redskins had the worst run defense in the NFL last season.

This is a fairly easy pick. After considering Da'Ron Payne of Alabama, the Redskins take Vita Vea, DT, Washington.

The Green Bay Packers are on the clock.

:Poll for Packers pick has been posted.

I wouldn't hate Vita Vea in Green Bay but I think everyone else would. I really want Smith or Edmunds, probably leaning towards Edmunds because at the end of day, size matters. Just ask my wife heyyooo

Vita Vea would have been ideal for the Seahawks at 18. They couldn't trade up - no #2 or #3 this year.

But hey, according to this there is no way they select him even if he's there:

Title: Who will the Seahawks overdraft this time?

Or Alternative Title:
Predictably Passing on Powerful Popular Perennial Pro-Bowler to Pick a Pathetic Palooka

That's a lot of complaining ahead of time for one article.

You nailed it ! ; DT Vita Vea was the clear choice. Washington ranked dead last in rushing 'D' in 2017 (134.1 Yards/Game)

That leaves lots of excellent talent for the Packers No. 14 Overall Pick.

The Packers have need @ Pass Rush; DB; WR ; OL (RHS) and TE.

There's lot's left that are excellent Prospects and (IMO) should start for the Packers.

Just a reminder that the AZ pick is available if someone who isn't participating in the draft as of yet wants to get into the fun.

Because Nutz is ingoring me, I’ll take the pick.

All yours.

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.

I am amazed that this group is so highly thought of that all will be gone by Pick 16 or so.

If Packers trade back, I could see a QB. Rooting for Rosen or Allen then. I'd take Mayfield, but Mr. Intensity won't last long.
