I didn't know where to post this so I'll just put it here.
Yahoo Sports' new 2 round Mock has us taking Orakpo in the 1st and Tyson Jackson in the 2nd (falling to us?? lol). I would take that and run as fast as I could.

ya thats the problem theres so many good picks at the #9 spot be hard to say what will be the best for us.
We got jenkins; one of the best corners in awhile, we got raji (whom 'supposedly' will be a great NT for us - (I'm not convinced)). We got a few OLB/DE hybrids that would fit perfectly opposite kampman.
And then we have some really good OT or Olinemen.
Then we got to see what we can go for in round 2 ...
Brace and Tyson look like great picks too me.
IMO if we can combine great draft picks with some key FA picks we could have a winning (SB) team next year.
If we look at what our team needed this past year
#1 a better upfront D. Notice whom was in the pro-bowl this year ... ya our secondary. So obviously they were in it for a reason.
a. We need much better QB blitz and better run stoppage.
b. We need play-makers for the above to happen and new coaches (got em now) to make this happen and call the plays that will get it done.
#2 We need some better pass protection for rodgers - cant expect him to run around all the time and get sacked.
#3 Our running plays and backs arnt bad. Nothing to write home about. And I would prefer we use jackson more; but overall our run-game is decent. (with a superb pass-game we do pretty well). Our run plays are decent enough to make people think twice about leaving us open for running plays - while not putting dbl coverage on our receivers.
