The mock of mocks has the Packers most likely selection Brian Burns, if not, then Hockenson.

the whole breakdown

22% have brian burns
20% have Hockenson
14% have devin white
11% have ferrell
11% have sweat
8% have fant
11% have someone else

so thats a pretty good start for who we (the posters) should be looking at

Would the PR consensus hate any of these picks? I know the TEs would certainly add for some argument, but what about a resounding "No" on one of them?

[Bretsky]

I like hockenson a lot but not at 12. Now if Green Bay trades back 8 spots and picks up another 2nd that would work. Oliver should really be on that list

i don't like pass rushers from florida state

i just have it in my head that they always are busts

[SMBASS]

White and maybe Sweat or Ferrell, (Not sure yet.) would be the only players on that list I'd consider at 12. Pick 30 would be a different story. Especially regarding the TE's. Absolutely no to Burns.

[smuggler]

I'm not interested in Sweat. I don't like what I've heard of him in college. He can go play for the Bengals for a few years.

[SMBASS]

I have my reservations about Sweat too smuggler and I need to look at Ferrell a little harder. I hope White or someone like Williams drops and is available but I won't hold my breath. 12 is somewhat of a weird position this year depending on how the top 10 picks go.

I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to dropping back to maybe even around 20 and getting some additional picks if they feel nobody is available who is worth the 12th spot.

Hockenson is more athletic than you give him credit for. His 40 was above average (not great), but he tested very well every else. He was 85+ percentile in every other drill (two were above 90) besides the 3 cone (which was still at 77). When you add in him being one of the best blocking TEs you'll see, he's intriguing. I still don't advocate taking a non-premium position at 12. I'd wait until 30 and see if one of the top 3 drops. There are also a few other TEs worth drafting in round 2 out 3. TE appears top heavy this year.

I agree. That third round TE, the one who caught the Hail Mary but sucked... dick rod! That’s right, I almost forgot his name. Well, dick rod I thought would be ok cuz he had great hands and was skilled even though he was a bad athlete. I was dead wrong. But Hockenson has similar ball skills and is a skilled blocker too. So he has that quality of being good at football. But hockenson is different the dick rod in a few ways

6’5 251 32 1/4 arms
6’4 257 32 5/8 arms this is a push

4.7 40 significantly faster than dick rod
4.87 40

17 reps bench
16 reps bench (push)

37.5 vert (significantly more explosive blocker and player)
31.5 very

7.02 3 cone (ridiculously agile for size)
7.23 blah

Same for shuttle and broad jump. Huge difference. Main point here is Hockenson is a highly skilled pass catcher and blocker as well as being very explosive and agile and also he’s much faster than plodding TEs but not as fast as the blazers.

He’s one of the safest players in the draft. He’s good at everything and in some ways an extraordinary athlete and in others just good enough.

He’s the most draftable TE in this class imo because he’s so good at football and also a very good athlete. I would take him 20 or later and feel really strongly that I have an upper tier NFL player.

I just ran 5 draft simulations on a draft simulator, and only once did I come away with White.

Twice I took Oliver, and twice I took Burns.

The picks at 30/44 came out various with Risner, Ferguson, M.Brown, Lindstrom, Parris C., Adderley.

Was able to snag Hanks in 2 drafts in the 3rd, but I think he'll go in the 2nd round.

I’m hoping for White or Oliver.

But I like burns too. He closes so hard! If he’s healthy, I can’t imagine a guy that long and explosive, fast and flexible not getting a bunch of sacks on the next level. With the two guys we have now, he could be a specialist for his first two years while he grows into his body. I can still imagine him getting 10 sacks even if he’s only in on probable pass downs.

I’d be happy with

LB Devin White or DT Ed Oliver
EDGE Jachai Polite or LB Devin Bush
FS Juan Thornhill


Our defense would be so damn fast if we can significantly upgrade ILB and FS

Bush was there at 30 on 4/5, but I'm not targeting him there... dont think he's special like White.

I'm going to look at him some more though b/c I know a lot of people are high on him.

Would like to see Hanks there in the 3rd.

Look at Juan Thornhill. He seems to have a little Nick Collins in him
