Just over two months away from the Draft now, and the Combine is just around the corner. That means it’s time for more Packers draft talk. This week I don’t have prospect analysis, and am still making my own board. But what I do have are two different Mocks that could give an idea on who could be available during the Draft. Take a look and let me know whether these are alright projections or if I am insane.

MOCK DRAFT #3 (February 17)
Used Matt Miller’s Big Board, User-Voted Team Needs, and the Difficult Algorithm
ROUND 1 (14) – Josh Jackson, CB. Iowa
-Still my CB1. Best Ballhawk in the Draft
ROUND 2 (45) – Dallas Goedert, TE. South Dakota State
-Can run the seam, catches everything, and isn’t afraid to mix it up.
ROUND 3 (76) – James Daniels, C. Iowa
–Quick, athletic center can get the second level with the best of linemen.
ROUND 3 (101) – Nick Nelson, CB. Wisconsin
-Athletic, sticky cover corner but needs to work on ball recognition. Special Teams work helps.
ROUND 4 (116) – Marquis Haynes, LB. Mississippi
-Lean, undersized pass rusher has a knack for forcing fumbles (12 in career)
ROUND 5 (152) – Allen Lazard, WR. Iowa State
-Massive target is built for a Rodgers jump ball.
ROUND 5 (173) – Jack Cichy, LB. Wisconsin
-Everytime you watch the tape, he jumps off the screen with his motor
ROUND 5 (175) – Kylie Fitts, EDGE, Utah
-Built like a tank but needs to work significantly on his technique.
ROUND 5 (177) – Poona Ford, DL. Texas
-Run stopper has the width of Johnny Jolly and the height of Mike Daniels.
ROUND 6 (189) – Micah Kiser, LB. Virginia
-Prolific tackler is best in the box and as a blitzer.
ROUND 7 (232) – George Senat, OT. Wagner
-Former basketball player has the athleticism to make the NFL. Technique needs work.
ROUND 7 (239) – Brandon Facyson, CB. Virginia Tech
-Former wide receiver has good ball skills but inconsistent technique drops his stock.

MOCK DRAFT #4 (February 19)
Used NFL Draft Scout’s Board, User-Voted Team Needs, Difficult Algorithm
ROUND 1 (14) – Vita Vea, DL. Washington
-Can never have too many big guys, especially ones that play like Ngata.
ROUND 2 (45) – Hercules Mataaga, EDGE. Washington State
-One of the best pure pass rushers in the class. Gets off the snap like no one else in the Draft
ROUND 3 (76) – Dallas Goedert, TE. South Dakota State
-If he drops, it’s because of the school.
ROUND 3 (101) – Isaiah Oliver, CB. Colorado
–One of the best cover corners in the Draft but needs to become more well-rounded. I’d be shocked if he made it to Round 3, let alone 101st.
ROUND 4 (116) – Mike Gesicki, TE. Penn State
-Arguably the best pure receiving threat at TE, but questions about his frame and blocking remain.
ROUND 5 (152) – Kurt Benkert, QB. Virginia
-Talented passer with clean mechanics. Could have a Matt Schaub-like career.
ROUND 5 (173) – Kalen Ballage, RB. Arizona State
-Great acceleration with a long frame. Has gotten comparisons to James Starks. Will dominate Combine.
ROUND 5 (175) – Dorrance Armstrong Jr., EDGE. Kansas
-Pure pass rusher, offers little against the run. Polarizing prospect between scouts.
ROUND 5 (177) – Justin Jones, DL. NC State
-Powerful interior lineman but lacks burst and offers little pass rush.
ROUND 6 (189) – Auden Tate, WR. Florida State
-Big time potential as a 6’4″ receiver, but needs a lot of work with route running and separation.
ROUND 7 (232) – Jack Cichy, LB. Wisconsin
-Amazing how his injury effects his stock between scouts.
ROUND 7 (239) – Zach Sieler, EDGE. Ferris State
-Long, powerful pass rusher dominated lower level competition (19.5 sacks)

I know that Mock Drafts aren’t always the best gauge of Draft stocks, but they are a ton of fun and a decent way to pass the time as we wait for football to come back. Next week, either Saturday or next Tuesday morning, I’ll have a breakdown like I did the past few weeks, focusing on players at each position. Until then, let me know what you think of these players and how they could fit at Lambeau.
