A first-round pass rusher seems a good bet for the Packers. Mel Kiper Jr.'s first mock draft predicts they'll take UT-San Antonio's Marcus Davenport.

I think Pettine will be able to scheme Clay to the QB. I also believe that Biegel and Fackrell will take a first/second year step.

That said, I would draft “bitch kitty” OLBs early and often.

There are 3 or 4 big time pass rushing prospects that should be available at #14, I'd be happy with any of them. If we draft one of the top WR or CB prospects I won't mind either but it seems OLB should be more plentiful.

I always wonder where guys like Davenport end up. The guy was a 2nd rounder not too long ago, but now the hypetrain has left the station and he's approaching a top 10 selection.

There's no doubt he's a good player and should be selected early, but I can't really find any reason for his tremendous surge upwards other than people expecting he'll do good at the Combine and the Senior Bowl.

I wonder if he'll deliver.

The hype I think is because of the position. A disruptive pass rusher is key to having a great defense.

That's true. And Ferrell going back to school pushed him up, as well. It's just that he's getting hyped for reasons that make no sense. Always makes me question these mock drafts. Just like when they went absolutely crazy about Clausen based off eachothers rumours and moves.

In addition isn't 255 a little too light to play DE? Sure they will bulk him up but in doing so it will take away some of his explosiveness.
