WITH THE BUSY SCHEDULE WE ENDURE HERE AT THE SCORE THESE WILL BE MY FINAL THOUGHTS BEFORE THE DRAFT. JOIN US AT THE PLAYERS CHOICE OF THE FOX CITIES TODAY FOR OUR APRIL TOUR STOP OR DRAFT DAY AT BUFFALO WILD WINGS ON CALUMET AS JOEY D AND I BREAK IT DOWN PICK BY PICK.
PACKER DRAFT: IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THIS I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHO THE PACKERS WILL PICK! BUT I CAN GIVE YOU MY THOUGHTS. TRADING DOWN SEEMS TO BE THE FANS CHOICE BUT YOU NEED A DANCE PARTNER TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN AND MOST TEAMS WANT TO TRADE DOWN IN WHATS BEING CALLED A MEDICORE DRAFT AT BEST. COULD THOMPSON THROW EVERYONE A CURVE AND TRADE UP AND GET WAKE FORREST OLB AARON CURRY? DOUBTFUL! I THINK IT COMES DOWN TO 5 PLAYERS WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE AT PICK NUMBER 9. WHAT HAPPENS WITH USC QB MARK SANCHEZ WILL DETERMINE THE PACKERS FATE. I'M HEARING MY GUY TYSON JACKSON WON'T MAKE IT PAST THE 5TH PICK HIS DESTINATION WILL BE EITHER KC OR CLEVELAND. THE FAN FAVORITE PICK IS BOSTON COLLEGE NT BJ RAJI WHO I THINK IS TOO RISKY OF PICK BUT HE MAY FALL TO 9. BIG ALABAMA TACKLE ANDRE SMITH COULD BE THE MAN BUT AGAIN A RISKY PICK WITH ALL HIS BAGGAGE BUT TALENT MAY WIN OUT AND HE COULD BE THOMPSONS PICK. TWO SAFER CHOICES WOULD BE OLE MISS TACKLE MICHAEL OHER OR OHIO STATE CB MALCOM JENKINS WHO I HAVE WARMED UP TO AND WOULD BE A SOLID PICK AND CONTRIBUTE NEXT SEASON. THE WILD CARD IS TEXAS TECH WR MICHAEL CRABTREE WHOS STOCK SEEMS TO BE DROPPING. WOULD THOMPSON TAKE A PLAYER WHO MAY BE IN THE TOP 5 OF HIS DRAFT BOARD BUT IS A POSITION OF STRENGTH? NOTHING WOULD SURPRISE ME WITH THOMPSON. SO IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO I THINK THE PACKERS WILL SELECT I'LL GIVE YOU THIS ANSWER. IT WILL BE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: SMITH, CURRY, CRABTREE, MONROE, RAJI, MACLIN, ORAKPO, SMITH, OHER, JACKSON, JENKINS CUSHING, MAUALUGA, BROWN, AYERS, MAYBIN, MORENO, PETTIGREW, MATHEWS, BARWIN, SINTIM, WELLS, ENGLISH, JOHNSON OR BEATTY! I'LL PROBABLY STILL MISS IT!!!! HAVE A GREAT DRAFT WEEKEND AND I'LL BE BACK MONDAY TO BREAK IT DOWN!!!!!!!

UPDATED PACKER MOCK 4/22/09
D-DAY IS ALMOST HERE AND I MUST UPDATE MY PACKER MOCK DRAFT!
1. TYSON JACKSON DE LSU THE SAFEST D-LINE PICK. TYSON IS 6-5 295 POUNDS AND IS A PERFECT FIT FOR THE 3-4 DEFENSE. SIMILAR PLAYER TO VONNIE HOLIDAY. WILL CONTRIBUTE IN 2009! OTHER OPTIONS: ANDRE SMITH, MICHAEL OHER, BJ RAJI, MALCOM JENKINS, ROBERT AYERS, AARON MAYBIN AND BRIAN ORACKPO. WILD CARD PICKS: MICHAEL CRABTREE AND KNOWSHON MORENO
2. PHIL LOADHOLT T OKLAHOMA A NEED PICK. LOADHOLT IS THE BEST TACKLE LEFT ON THE BOARD AND WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO START AT RT THIS SEASON. AT 6-8 335 AND A HUGE WINGSPAN HE COULD HOLD DOWN THE RIGHT TACKLE SPOT FOR 10 YEARS
3. RON BRACE NT BOSTON COLLEGE
THE OTHER BIG DT FROM BOSTON COLLEGE WILL BE SOLID BACKUP FOR RYAN PICKET AND POSSIBLE STARTER NEXT SEASON.
3. LEE ROBINSON OLB ALCORN ST. ROBINSON WAS A STUD AT ALCORN STATE AND WILL NEED TIME TO DEVELOP TO THE PRO GAME. HE IS A TRUE OLB FOR THE 3-4 AND WILL BE IN THE MIX ONCE TRAINING CAMP STARTS.
4. MIKE MICKENS CB CINCINNATI MICKENS SLIPS TO THE 4TH ROUND AND THOMPSON POUNCES ON THIS VERY TALENTED CB WHO WILL LEARN FROM TWO OF THE LEAGUES BEST CORNERS IN HARRIS AND WOODSON. OH YEAH HE WAS INTERVIEWED BY OUR VERY OWN JUSTIN HULL!
5. RAMSES BARDEN WR CAL POLY TED WILL DRAFT ANOTHER RECEIVER AND WILL LOVE THIS BIG 6-6 RED ZONE TARGET.
6.CEDRIC PEERMAN RB VIRGINIA DURABILTY CONCERNS BUT WOULD BE A TRUE CHANGE OF PACE BACK THE PACKERS SORELY MISS. HAD A GOOD WEEK AT THE SENIOR BOWL.
6. QUINN JOHNSON FB LSU
A BIG BLOCKING FULLBACK COULD START NEXT SEASON.
7. JEFF SCHWEIGER DE SAN JOSE ST
THE 6-5 276 DE WOULD ADD DEPTH TO D-LINE
