My Final Packers Mock v.21.0
(Joe Arrigo)

This is my final Packers mock of 2010.
I think that the Packers will deal back a few slots in round 1 to add a 3rd round pick. I also think the Packers add 6th round pick by dealing with the Rams.

Here is my Packers mock v.21.0.

TRADE: The Packers trade Jarrett Bush to the Rams for their 2010 6th round pick.

Round 1: TRADE! The Packers trade their 1st round pick to the Colts for their 1st round pick and a 3rd round pick.

Round 1: Jahvid Best-RB-Cal: The running back depth is not the best in this draft. Best is an explosive play-maker that can also return kicks and punts. He is "the human joy-stick" and could be a perfect compliment to Ryan Grant. He has great hands and terrific balance. He will need to add a little weight to become a better blocker and there is also some questions when it comes to his health due to a nasty concussion. But make no mistake about it, he is one heck of a football player.


Round 2: Morgan Burnett-S-Georgia Tech: An instinctive safety that can come in and start from day 1. He is a ball hawk and more than willing vs the run. He has good speed, leaping ability and great hands. He does a great job of high pointing the ball. High character guy.


Round 3 (A): Jason Fox-OT-Miami: To me, he reminds me of current Packer Chad Clifton. Has had some injury questions, but this kid can play (when healthy). Has the kick I look for in a LT and could be an elite player once he settles into the NFL.


Round 3 (B): Akwasi Owusu-Ansah-CB- IUP: The Packers seem to think Will Blackmon can be more than a dime back and the jury is still out on Pat Lee. With Owusu-Ansah he can be a nickle or dime back in year 1 or a special teams standout if need be. He the size/speed the Packers look for and has the skill set to be special, but some question his level of competition. He can also play a little safety as well.


Round 4: Carlton Mitchell-WR-S. Florida: A big, strong athletic WR who blow up the combine. He is a long strider with a nice burst out of his breaks but his hands are decent at best right now and he doesn't always look natural catching the ball. He has the size/speed to be a very good player if he gets with the right coaches. Good attitude and a hard worker by all accounts.


Round 5 (A): Arthur Moats-OLB-James Madison: A OLB that can get to the QB and in a hurry. He may steal at this point in mid/later rounds for a team running a 3-4, Thompson snatches him up quickly.


Round 5 (B): Walter Thurmond III-CB-Oregon: A nasty knee injury ruined his 2009 season. Until then Thurmond was a high draft pick. I would select him and either PUP or IR him if he isn't fully healed. When he was healthy he was everything you would look for in a CB.

Round 6 (A): Jevan Snead-QB-Ole Miss: Snead has all kinds of tools, strong arm, fairly accurate and proto-typical size, but had a very poor JR. season. Many questioned why he even came out, but Mike McCarthy gets his young QB here and will have time to groom him.


Round 6 (B): Kevin Haslim-OT-Rutgers: A RT or G in the NFL. Has good size and is a strong, powerful blocker that could start down the road. Would provide the Packers depth should they decide to deal Darryn Colledge and make T.J. Lang the full time LG.



Round 7: C.J. Wilson-DE-E. Carolina: A big strong guy that can be a really good depth guy in the 3-4. Has had some injury questions, but flashed enough ability to be drafted. Could be a steal in round 7.
