Mocks Are Way Off Base With Thompson's Pick

Packnut, thanks for an alternative way of thinking about the draft. It is good reading.

Free Beer

Packnut -
That is a fantastic argument on what you believe TT will do. As much of an enigma as he is to us Packer fans (most of the time), I think you hit the nail on the head. If you are right and he takes Bowe, I'll happily purchase you a beer (or two) if you ever make it to the Twin Cities.

I've been known to travel great distances for a free beer!

Lynch/Nelson

Packnut...

You article makes a lot of sense, and I could see T.T. doing what you say...
BUT... BIG BUT!

There is a side of me that does not want this to come true...

I'd rather have Lynch / Nelson in the first round (two positions we need the most)...

Then get a WR is second / third round...

Hopefully the Moss trade goes through for a third rounder, but if T.T. picks a WR (like you said) at #1...
You can kiss the Moss rumor goodbye... (I'm pro Moss by the way)

Again... Great Points...

That is another point I really did'nt consider about Moss. I kinda thought that had died but if it still is on the table, it could change things and make my thoughts null and void.

Draft

I'm getting antsy for the draft. Is it my imagination or is it much later this year?

Packnut,

I share your feelings about Bowe. He would be a great addition. If Ginn were healthy, I might give him the edge, but Bowe is the best combo of strength and speed after CJ.

[MJZiggy]

It was April 29 last year.

[Mazzin]

Its actually the 28th, and 29th. 28th is more important.

Is Bowe a burner ? I'd still take Meacham over him w/o hesitiation.

Bowe is slower and big. Definitely not a burner. Meachem did only have one productive year, though. Bowe has had 2 very productive years and a third w/ 500+ yards.

I know; but Meacham had a serious injury year one so last year was his big year. Huge upside.

Yeah, but can ya take a guy that high in the draft that only had 1 good year? That's a HUGE risk my friend. Bowe has proven his value and he's a much better blocker. If you take a look at teams that run the ball well, a common theme is good blocking WR's. Another point is Bowe is a better red zone guy and man we really need some help there. Meach may have more upside potential but Bowe is a more solid pick and someone who can help us out in our area of weakness.

Still, to be honest with you, I'd be happy with either one. Hell, I'd love to see TT go WR 2 out of the first 3 picks.

I'm not a big Bowe fan, but it's all a crapshoot, so who knows.

[RashanGary]

I'm not a big Bowe fan, but it's all a crapshoot, so who knows.

I'm guessing Lynch, Willis or Jamaal Anderson but you never know. Some GM's are clearly better than others so I would not say its a complete crapshoot but as far as guys like us are concerned; it's a crapshoot.

I can usually find 3 or 4 guys that I really like and I think I'm getting more and more accurate with those 3 or 4 every year but as far as predicting the whole damn draft into the teens or 20's, it's damn near impossible with any degree of accuracy for any of us IMO.

Bowe and Meacham are the the same height, Bowe is about 4 pounds heavier. They had almost identical 40 times. Meacham's vertical jump was about 4 inches higher than Bowe's. Bowe is a much better blocker.Think Javon Walker (Meacham) vs. Hines Ward or Anquan Boldin (Bowe).
