Instant Reaction: Packers select UCLA DE Datone Jones

Packers select Datone Jones 26 overall

The NFL Draft is where Ted Thompson comes out to play. Thompson is usually averse to unrestricted free agency, but will do his work when the draft comes around. The Packers had the 26th pick in this years draft and had several options at the time of the pick.

One option was the potential selection of Florida International Safety Jonathan Cyprien. Cyprien would have helped solidify the Packers safety position opposite Morgan Burnett. The Packers struggled at that spot last season trotting out a platoon of fourth round pick Jeron McMillan and undrafted free agent MD Jennings. McMillan struggled in pass coverage, but excelled against the run. Jennings made some nice plays in the secondary, but overall struggled in the run game and was caught out of position, failing to lock down the position opposite Burnett. Jonathan Cyprien would have remedied both of the flaws that each safety the Packers used last season possessed. He excelled in coverage and would have brought some physicality against the run. The Packers decided to pass on him.

Another option at Safety was Florida product Matt Elam. Elam is more of a box safety who can occasionally struggle in coverage, but he hits well and is a sure tackler. Elam would have added a physical presence up the middle that they have not had since Atari Bigby’s heyday. Elam, like Cyprien would have been a better option than McMillan and Jennings, but with bigger needs and higher rated players on their board the Packers passed on the safety position altogether in round one.

Packers Talk Radio Network First Round Predictions for the Green Bay Packers

nfl draft 2013

The NFL Draft is fantastic time of the year.

A time when every NFL fan is an armchair GM, and their method of drafting players is by far the very best way to build a championship team.

We here at PTRN are no different.

The entire Packers Talk Radio Network family was asked two questions leading up to tonight’s NFL Draft:

Who do you want the Packers to pick at number 26 in the first round?

Who do you think they will actually pick?

The answers below offer a number of different directions that Ted Thompson might head in the first round of the draft:

 

Who I want them to pick (name, position) Who I think they will actually pick (name, position)

 

CD Angeli: Eric Reid (S, LSU);  Sylvester Williams (DT, North Carolina)

Jersey Al Bracco: Trade up for Sheldon Richardson;  Jesse Williams, Datone Jones, Kevin Minter; then trade down...

Jayme Joers: Datone Jones (DE, UCLA);  Trade out of the first round

John Rehor: Matt Elam (S, Florida);  Trade out of the first round

Kyle Cousineau: Eric Reid (S, LSU);  Trade out of the 1st round

Chris Callaway: Jonathan Cyprien (SS, FIU);  Menelik Watson (OT, Florida State)

Kelly Hodgson-Kline: DJ Fluker (OT, Alabama);  Tyler Eifert (TE, Notre Dame) b/c TT is going to do something that no one will consider because he’s Ted.

Richard Chang: Jesse Williams (DT/NT, Alabama);  Eric Reid (S, LSU)
