Ready for one of the most intriguing drafts in recent memory? Mel Kiper Jr. unveils his new projections.

22. Christian Watson, WR, North Dakota State
28. Zion Johnson, G/C, Boston College
53. Alec Pierce, WR, Cincinnati
59. Myjai Sanders, DE/OLB, Cincinnati

Alec Pierce compares to Jordy Nelson. Nelson was a really good receiver for the Green Bay Packers, and Pierce has similar physical traits. He wowed with a 4.41-second 40-yard dash and 40.5-inch vertical at the combine, and the Cincinnati pass-catcher can also run every route -- and break tackles after the catch. Maybe Green Bay could steal Pierce with one of its two second-round picks. -- Mel Kiper Jr., NFL draft analyst

I believe QB Love and TE Dugara are the only two of Gute's top 3 rounds selection outside of the SEC, Big 10 and ACC, as he often sticks to those.

So Gute going from only 15% from outside those three to 75% from those three would be a big surprise. That being said LaFleur had a Cincinnati connection with his talk of getting Duaga, which Pierce and Sanders are from.

That being said, I feel like Kiper is seriously reaching with these picks.

Reaching for WR Watson makes some sense as his potential seems to be unlimited and it's an extreme need position.

Johnson isn't a huge reach, but Gute has been all about positional value in the first round, and interior OL is not among the most valuable positions, especially when OT, Edge, CBs, S, WR/TE are still available. Plus all 100% of the OL Gute has selected so far, have been 6'4" to 6'5¼". I wouldn't be surprised if Gute went out of that range if someone is special enough, but just seems like Gute should be able to find someone in the 1st that fits what they look for more. And the Packers need more depth at OT more than OG.

If the Packers are demanding their new WRs be both tall and fast, then reaching for WR Alec Pierce could make sense, but I believe there are better WRs, but either maybe not as tall and fast, but they still have one of the two and more talented IMO.

Myjai Sanders is unorthodox in his style, which I believe makes him a higher chance to bust. I think there should be better options falling with how deep this edge rusher class looks.


Also, I think Safety will be selected higher than people think.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?
beast (20h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.
beast (20h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.
Mucky Tundra (20h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired
beast (23h) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
