Just like last year, this is a best case scenario draft. While it is unlikely that all of the players that I have selected will be available when they are selected in this mock it is at least possible. In fact if I have made the pick I’ve at least seen this player available in a…
The Packers are in an interesting spot at OLB. Their best defensive player is an outside linebacker by trade, and one of the best in the business. The defense is markedly different when he’s not on the field. You needn’t look any further than the NFC Championship game for evidence of that. While Clay Matthews…
Two weeks ago I was fortunate enough to make an accurate prediction. The Packers re-signed Letroy Guion and BJ Raji on Monday. These signings might have only made the defensive line more interesting as far as the draft is concerned. Ted Thompson eliminated the defensive line as a “need” pick. The defensive line is going to be fine so…
It’s mock draft season! I remember being a young football fan (before the internet era) and always being excited for mocks. Sports Illustrated always had one, USA Today would publish one and you could find one in ESPN the Magazine. NFL Draft magazines were (and continue to be) very popular and you could find mocks…
It’s no secret that the Packers lost two cornerbacks that have the ability to play outside. Tramon Williams was the team’s #1 corner a season ago. He has the ability to play nickel, which he might be asked to do in Cleveland. The Browns spent a 1st round pick on Justin Gilbert a season ago…
I’ve been pretty lucky so far with my position preview schedule. All of the offensive positions were more or less resolved when I wrote about them. Randall Cobb re-signed before I wrote about wide receivers. Bulaga was back on board before the offensive line evaluation was due. It appears, though, that that run of luck…
ESPN Milwaukee’s Bill Johnson always used to say that Ted Thompson couldn’t scout and offensive lineman if one pancake blocked him. I always thought that was funny and for a long time it was true. He initially failed to adequately replace Marco Rivera and Mike Wahle and the early part of Aaron Rodgers’ career was…
