I need to make this quick. Sales come first you know?? Anyway until The Packers get going on free agency it's going to be tough to pin point the position and or positions they will target in the draft but I do think as of today they have a big need at the opposite ROLB position opposite of Aaron Kampman. So here's the choices.
1. Brian Cushing OLB USC A true OLB that can flurish in the new 3-4 defense.
2. Darius Butler CB UCon Playmaker with 4.4 speed. Will need a year under Harris
and Woodson then lookout!
3. Eric Wood OL Lousiville Versitile lineman fits into the mix imediatley.
3. Evander Hood DT Miss No relation to Estus! Another big body for the rotation
4. Travis Beckum TE Wiskey A steal if he's healthy!

Updated Draft News 2/20/09
I'll be keeping my mock draft the same until after the combine. Next week I'll add a new 4 round Packer Mock Draft. My good friend Hawk Fan will be joining The Blog today. He'll unveil his first 2009 Packer Mock. As I was driving around today listening to great draft talk on AM 1570 my thoughts turned to the offensive side of the ball. The Wide Receiver position in general. You would think this is a position of strength, but is it really? Will this be Donald Driver's last year with The Packers? Will Thompson get Greg Jennings signed to a long term deal or will he test free agency after the 2009 season? Will the future be Jordy Nelson, James Jones and Ruvell Martin?? Thompson has drafted a WR in either the 2nd or 3rd round since he's been a GM with Green Bay.
I think this trend will continue but here's a crazy thought!! What if Texas Tech stud Receiver Michael Crabtree drops to pick number 9?? How can Thompson pass on this future Pro Bowler if he takes "The Best Player Available" as he says they do?? The answer is he won't. Crabtree would give Aaron Rodgers another huge target and make the Packer Offense that much better. Chances of this happening are slim but it's fun to say what if??
Have a great weekend and drive safely!

PACKER 3 ROUND MOCK DRAFT 2/13/09
It's that time of year again. Yes my favorite time of the year, NFL Draft Talk!! I'll be blogging on The Score's website through the draft and I'll do occasional updates throughout the year.
Well lets begin! We all know the Packers need help on the defensive side of the ball. I still think Crazy Joe Devola (Ted Thompson) will continue to take his "Best Player Available" stance as he should with the 2009 draft class. I have to believe if one of the top 3 Offensive Tackles Virginia's Eugene Monroe, Alabama Tackle Andre Smith or Baylor's Jason Smith drop to pick number 9 one of them will be a Packer. But most Mock Drafts have all three gone before The Packers pick at number 9. That being said I believe on February 13th the best player on the board will be.......
Packer 3 Round Mock:
1. B.J. Raji DT Boston College
B.J.'s stock is rising after his dominating preformance at The Senior Bowl. His practices were off the charts but the game itself was mediocre. Still he would fill a tremendous void as a running stuffing NT with pass rush ability. It all starts up front with Dom Capers 3-4 scheme and Raji is the man to help get the new defense off to a good start!
2. Clay Matthews Jr. OLB USC
Comes from a great football family, his Uncle Bruce was a Houston Oiler Teddys old team. Was projected as a 2nd day pick before the season now may sneak into the first round. If he last's until this pick consider him a Packer. Should be a starter from day one lining up as a "Outside Linebacker". He'll also impove The Packers special teams!
3. Eric Wood C Louisville
Wood is a prospect with tremendous potential and versatility which is required in the Packers Zone Blocking system. For the third straight year Thompson's takes a Offensive Lineman from The University of "Loo A Ville"
3. (From The Jets) Connor Barwin DE Cincinnati The Brett Favre pick! Smart money says this pick is traded for several lower picks but if the Packers stand pat Barwin would be too good to pass up. Barwin projects as a pass rushing linebacker in the 3-4. He lead the BearCats in sacks in 2008 and is said to be a coaches dream.
Check back in the coming days as I'll go 4 rounds. Now time for Justin Hull to bash me on the air!!!!
