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!!!!
