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!
