Fair enough.i was really torn between 4 players
olsen, ginn, lynch and nelson(or another db, probalby cb)
most mocks and experts think that lynch should be the best fit for the packers
i dont dispute that, i was actually going to take lynch when i first heard about this mock draft and got the packers
but after doing some research i found out some key things
ahman green was the work horse- carried the load in the backfield..and herron backed up him
with green gone, well lynch is the best choice? but at cal, lynch split carries with jjarrington and another hb last year...
herron is good imo, and it wouldve been good to have lynch and herron as the packers two back system, as we're seeing more of, but the packers secondary, minus the corners in harris and woodson, are terrible....
so far, my choices were lynch and nelson, as he's my favorite safety behind landry of course
we also have ted ginn jr. who i'm surprised slipped this far already, the packers dont have a return specialist, except for greg jennings...greg jennings had a good rookie season, and i'm expecting him to play opposite of donald driver....
taking ginn wouldve been a smart move as he woudl be the dynamic return specialist, and it would give jennings an oppurtunity to focus more on the offense, let him catch a breath sort of after the punt or kickoff....driver's getting old, so i'd like jennings to stay as healthy as possible, so drafting ginn would not only open up the deep ball, as favre loves it, but it would also mean that jennings wont be on the field, less of a chance to get injured
and i wanted olsen as martin is gone, and franks is not deep threat that olsen couldve brought at the TE position...
my top choices for the first pick were
1. olsen TE
2. ginn WR
3. lynch RB
4. nelson S
1. olsen's gone so cant take him,
2. the WR depth in this year's draft is big, so, it was CJ in the first round, or go another WR in the later rounds,
3. peterson and lynch are 1 and 2 as the RB's respectively, then the RB class drops in talent, but there are still some good RB's that can be utitlized as a weapon that can be picked up in round 2 or 3, lynch also has some off the field issues, so i went to my 4th choice
4. nelson who isnt a laron landry but is in the higher class of S
with a big class at WR, and good class of RB's lead me to take nelson at S
hope i didnt reveal my whole drafting strategy lol
i guess theres no more smoke screening for me haha
IMO the person who picks should email the next GM to alert them they are on the clock. (Thats what I did)
Good idea. We are ahead of schedule which is a good thing imo. If we finish early we might be able to expand this draft to a full 7 round affair.
Hey "skaIownsIyou"? Just wondering but what's the reason you passed on Lynch at 16th overall?
Path to the Draft no longer notices Revis, it's Houston and Hall battling for #1 CB. How did you figure the Bengals for Carriker?so, who u think the pats are hopin for right now?
i dont think lynch will fall past the titans and giants
chris houston perhaps?

At 24 i really think the Patriots are going to go with a safety. My pick is still Griffin and its a really smart decision no matter what way you think about it.

With Justin Smith on the franchise tag, it's not a bad pick at all.
