Michael Oher? · PACKERSHOME

What does everybody think of Michael Oher, the mammoth tackle from Ole Miss? Do you think he'll be available at #9? This got me thinking:

http://www.packerupdate.com/pu/2009/01/s.html

The Packers came thisclose to releasing pass rush specialist Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila before the start of the regular season. The same mistake won't be made with Chad Clifton. The coaches will keep a very close eye on the 32-year-old left tackle from the start of offseason workouts in March to the final exhibition game in August and make sure that an adequate replacement is already on the roster

I would love to have a franchise LT be drafted at #9. Everyone is saying Oher has the body and skills of an Orlando Pace. Signing this man would make me very happy.

I don't think he will be around for us at 9. The mock im looking at has 4 OT going in the top 8

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I have been researching OT and every draft I have seen has Oher gone in the top 5. But the good news is that there are 3 OT that are all pretty close and is a fairly good chance that one of them will be available at #9.

And if you think Oher is a monster, check out Andre Smith, now that is a monster at LT at 339. There is also Eugene Monroe who is close to Oher in size, and is projected with the same 40 times.

Any one of these 3 OT would be great picks for the Pack.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

If we can't draft a young guy, I hope we'll be in the running for Jordan Gross from Carolina.

There's a good chance Oher will be there. Coming into the season he was a lock for the top 3, but Andre Smith has definitely passed him as the top pro prospect in the country. Eugene Monroe and Jason Smith are also potential top 10 picks now too, so if Thomson wants Oher in Green Bay then it could very well happen.

It really depends on whether Oher or Monroe is ranked higher come draft time. Rams and Bengals are pretty much locks on picking OTs and Andre Smith will be the other OT taken.

I think he'll be around and I don't think the Packers should take him. The only team that would take him in the top ten in Oakland in my opinion because he fits their style of drafting.

Oher has skills, but he's inconsistent and takes plays off. I think he'll be a bust and when teams look at him on film they'll see similar things.

If he succeeds in the NFL, it will be as a right tackle.

This is what i see on the WalterFootball mock draft

2: St. Louis Rams: Andre Smith, OT, Alabama

6: Cincinnati Bengals: Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss

7: Oakland Raiders: Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia

8: Jacksonville Jaguars: Jason Smith, OT, Baylor

So you see if it goes like they think there will be 4 ot off the board before we even draft.

I have a hard time thinking Jason Smith will be drafted that early. Jeremy Maclin would be a better choice for the Jags there. Also, if Jenkins is avaivable, Raiders will take him. I think they need OT more, but they need CB too and will take the best talent avaivable.

Edit: And it's also pretty pointless debating about whose gonna get drafted since we haven't even started FA yet.

I doubt Maclin goes in the top 10. First round talent for sure, but only elite receiver prospects go in the top 10 (unless you're the Vikes). They failed this year because the O-line was horrible, so Smith makes a ton of sense.

It's hard to speculate on what the Pack will do right now, since we don't even know what scheme will be run on defense.
