I know there are alot of mock drafts out there, but I consider this guy to be a real specialist combined with the fact that he has an interesting draft. Pretty unique.

9. Green Bay Packers

Brian Cushing
LB, USC

Switching to a 3-4 defense calls for a versatile OLB who can bring it with the rush and hold the edge against the run.



He thinks Orakpo will fall past us and Raji will be picked by the Seahawks at 4, letting Crabtree slip by.

I like the idea of having Raji on our defense. I certainly hope that the Seahawks will just go with their WR.

I asume that the Browns aren't picking a DT, the Raiders, you just don't know. The Bengals might, although they have problems everywhere. I'd start with the O-line on that team though. The Jags can be the big spoiler imo if Raji falls to 8. They where already working on their D-line last year by picking a DE. A playmaking DT would complement that nicely. O-line also seems to be the biggest issue there though, so in my mind, Raji should be there for us to take him.

I just want Raji in the first...then IDK which OLB we should get in the 2nd. Or maybe just get Orakpo in the first and go for Brace in the 2nd.

Brian Cushing? No thank you. Not at #9.

Will all of the steroid allegations that surround him, there are plenty of other DE/OLB hybrids to choose from. I'd go in a different direction.

I think Cushing is a real solid player, but at No. 9 I think you've got to hit on a pro bowl type of player. Not sure Cushing can be that. I think a possible trade down would open the door for Cushing.

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
