Here are some names I think could be called
At No.9
- B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College - Could play DE or NT in the 3-4. Very versatile and a somewhat Haloti Ngata type of player.
- Brian Orakpo, DE/LB - Hybrid pass rusher that is the closest thing to a Shawn Merriman in this draft in my opinion.
- Tyson Jackson, DE, Louisana State - Best five technique in the draft. Incredible run stopper.
- Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss - Fits the Packers blocking scheme better than Andre Smith. Oher would start at RT and move to LT next year.
- Michael Crabtee, WR, Texas Tech - Best player in the draft that if fell would be that BPA type of guy Ted Thompson always talks about. Would open the door for James Jones getting dealt.
Round 2 and 3 guys to watch for
- Ron Brace, NT, Boston College - The big nose tackle that takes over for Ryan Pickett
- Cody Brown, DE/LB, Connecticut - Hybrid pass rusher that has gone under the radar.
- Larry English, DE/LB, Northern Illinois - Ted Thompson type of pick from a small school.
- Jarron Gilbert, DE, San Jose State - 2nd best five technique in the entire draft.
- Fili Moala, DE, Southern California - Another five technique, but he has first round talent. Underachiever.
- Michael Johnson, DE/LB, Georgia Tech - A lot of phyiscal attributes, but another underachiever.
- Coye Francis, CB, San Jose State - Decent Senior Bowl, but is the under the radar prospect that Ted often targets.
- William Beatty, OT, Connedcticut - Potential left tackle in the zone scheme.
- Ricky Jean-Francois, DE, Louisana State - The other five technique from LSU.
- Antonie Caldwell, OL, Alabama - Interior lineman that can play RT.
