PackerRats 1st Round Mock Draft

[woodbuck27]

Evans might look good as Packer next to Martinez.

I love ILB Rashaan Evans but the Packers need to nail that NO. 14 Pick and there's a load of stress on them to do so. I can also see them trading down.

I don't want to see them trade too far down in Round One.

All day if I'm quietly leaking an interest in QB Lamar Jackson. That prospect is 'a Beast of an athlete'. I see Teams easily wanting to be a trading Partner with Green Bay.

Teams drafting below NO. 14 that have at least some need and QB.

The right fit for QB Lamar Jackson is with Arizona or Baltimore or Buffalo) He's be off the Board by Pick NO. 22.

Pick NO. 15 Arizona.(straight up...YES)

Pick NO. 16 Baltimore. (Big Time)

Pick NO. 17 LA Chargers. ( Philip Rivers admits it’s ‘inevitable’ L.A. drafts a QB )

Pick NO. 21 Cincinnati

Pick NO. 22 Buffalo (Big Time)

Pick NO. 23 New England (Yup and his athleticism but he wants to advertise as a QB)

Pick NO. 27 New Orleans (Drew Brees Age)

Pick NO. 29 Jacksonville (some need, but they''ll see how Robby Blake Bortles looks in 2018 without a lot of concern)

Steelers, like most years, have some needs. They are battling with Antonio Brown and LeVeon Bell over contracts. Shazier is out. Big Ben is talking about retirement like he was draft in 1991 by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2nd round.

The vaunted Steeler D fell apart again despite having thrown Dick LeBeau overboard and committing to Keith (Kevin?) Butler and committing to not playing zone every snap.

Unless you are one of the few who expect 6 QBs to go in the first round, the Steelers are aren't likely to select Ben's successor in the first round. Though if they did, it would be Mason Rudolph, OKSt at this point. Unlike many other positions, the Steelers retain their ability to find WRs (see Upper Class Twit of the Year J.J. Smith-Schuster). RB might be a possibility, but Bell is still there, so not the first round. Despite signing Morgan Burnett, reports say Steelers might not be done at safety as they let last season's starter go an young guy Davis was up and down in Year 2.

Derrius Guice, RB, LSU is available but I don't think they do it. They got Ridley to help out.

So they need a safety, ILB and possibly an OLB/EDGE, though doubling up after TJ Watt seems unfair. Quin Blanding, S, Virginia, Christian Sam, LB, Arizona State, Jeff Holland, OLB, Auburn, and Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, OLB, Oklahoma.

But their guy here sounds like a clone of Shazier.




With the 28th pick of the 2018 NFL Common Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select Rashaan Evans, LB, Alabama.

HOODY GENIUS IS SEEN WALKING OUTSIDE OF PATRIOT STADIUM DRUNK ON HIS RUM AND COKE'S SAYING F'CK PITTSBURG OVER AND OVER............

Hoody Genius considered 4 players at pick 21; he drafted the best OT with is first pick and the first of his three guys he was waiting to fall just got picked.

Hoody Genius raises his middle finger and tributes the Steelers !

[yetisnowman]

Jags select D.J. Moore. WR Maryland

[bobblehead]

FAIL !

Your like the guy on the team that misses the Team Meetings and Practises.

Suspended and excuses are BS ! That can lead to a dismissal.

Just apologize and learn to leave it right there. It's called growing up; acting with some maturity and real smarts.

If your going to challenge ensure you really have what it takes to challenge with. Some integrity.

Actually that sounds suspiciously like Michael Bennet...the guy who is gonna kick my ass right after he roughs up old ladies.

This is going to be an interesting Pick for the Vikings and for the New England Patriots.

Minnesota either beefs up their offensive line and add a Guard (to protect their new QB) or Pic a CB.

[woodbuck27]

Actually that sounds suspiciously like Michael Bennet...the guy who is gonna kick my ass right after he roughs up old ladies.

Good grief your hilariously delusional !

[pbmax]

Justin has until 7 PM. If he's not here, its open season for the Vikings pick. First serious pick (must be living, college draftable and under the age of 58) will be taken as gospel.

I will PM the rest. Gotta prep for the first Day 2 pick.

[pbmax]

For Justin:

Mocks: McGlinchey, Oliver, Hernandez, Isaiah Wynn, Kolton Miller, Connor Williams

Needs: Offensive Line, Offensive Line, Offensive Line, 3rd CB, pass catcher, clavicle breaker

Everyone thinks the Patriots are going to chase a QB, possibly early. But if the Pats take an OL and our mock is right that some other team takes an OT (Williams) and a Guard (Hernandez), there will panic amongst the lone remaining member of the Triangle of Authority from the land of bird killing windows.

They just spend $84 mil guaranteed on a new QB, they want to keep him upright and except for QB, nothing replaces getting your starting O lineman in the first round. They will select the last O lineman with a first round grade on him. Zimmer isn't going to be elated by the effort, but he will like the film better than the combine results.

With the 30th pick in the NFL Common Draft for 2018, the Minnesota Vikings select Orlando Brown, OT Oklahoma.

HOODY GENIUS WAKES UP FROM A RUM N COKE HANGOVER WITH A PHONE CALL FROM PB MAX THAT'S HE"S ON THE CLOCK. He immediately blurt out F'ck PIttsburg.

Jay Glazer, a close friend of Hoody's tweets out when Hoody made his 21st pick he was choosing between 4 players and two of them has fallen and they are at the same dam position. One is a phenomenal speed demon with a ton of upside and great special teams ability who is probably ready to start right now but there are character concerns. Hoody Genius Jr campaigns form a WR at the pick, but Hoody cusses him and and notes we made Danny Amendola look good; we don't need to draft a dam WR that high. McDaniels then campaigns for the return phenom to take some pressure off the offense, but Hoody Genius has his own plan. He watches Mel Kiper flash his big board and note who the pick has to be. But Hoody Genius throws up the bird at Mel the blowhard Kiper and drafts his own guy.

Hoody announces to his staff....this guy is going to be the best player at his position five years from now, and he's going to start day one. His father, Muhammad, played cornerback at Oregon, was an NCAA All-American in track and field, a world-class decathlete, and played five seasons in the NFL. His uncle, Damon Mays, also played college ball (receiver at Missouri) and in the NFL. Scouts are high on his pro promise due to his size and tenacious nature. He also received the athleticism genes, starring in high school football (27 yards per reception, 12 touchdowns, seven interceptions, nine blocked punts as a senior) and track (state champ in 110 and 300-meter hurdles, 4x400 relay) in Arizona. Oliver made a splash as a true freshman, playing in all 13 games and starting three (19 tackles, six pass breakups).



As receivers get bigger, faster, and stronger every single year, so too must cornerbacks evolve with them. Enter Colorado’s Isaiah Oliver, one of the most uniquely gifted DB prospects to come through the college ranks in quite some time. Blessed with size, speed, and uncommon fluidity for a “big body” corner, Oliver also has one key advantage that sets him apart from everyone else at his position - arm length.

At a staggering 33 1⁄2 inches, Oliver’s arms are longer than all but just six cornerback prospects to be measured in the last two decades. That length shows up on film on nearly every single snap, and he routinely dominates receivers at the line of scrimmage before using his tree-trunk-like arms to break up passes.

On this week’s episode of “The Film Room,” we’ll take an in-depth dive into his impressive college tape and explain why these unique physical traits should translate to immediate success in the NFL. Enjoy the show!

Guiness, I will make sure Round 1 is done tonight and the Browns Round 2 pick is done by midnight. You'll be up for the Browns tomorrow by 9 AM.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Two players stand out for the Eagles, CB Jaire Alexander and TE Dallas Goedert. The Eagles could still use another CB. After losing Trey Burton and Brent Celek, the Eagles could use a TE to pair with Zach Ertz. Goedert has Gronk-like qualities and has the potential to be the best blocker among the top rated TEs. However, Alexander offers too much value at a position of need.

Philadelphia selects CB Jaire Alexander, Louisville.

ROUND TWO HERE WE GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!
