Packers Mock Draft Monday 6.0

Ross will provide a weekly mock draft using Fanspeak's mock draft simulator, On the Clock.  He will also scour the internet for a few mocks to see who the "experts" have Green Bay taking that week and will provide analysis.

The latest mock here is a slight deviation of what I have been doing each Monday.  On Friday I published my Packers-specific Top 200 Big Board (included below).  I stuck to this board without question, except for one rule (no tripling up on positions, I had a few chances to take Jourdan Lewis).  Price would have been taken before Kittle but I didn't see Price right away.  They both would have been taken in the same round, just different order.  

This mock was done using Fanspeak with the Inside the Pylon board and fan selected needs.  

I'm able to take my #8 needs adjusted player in Tak McKinley at 29, with my #9, Tredavious White available as well.  Sidney Jones, who I believe is the best corner in the draft if he hadn't injured his Achilles was available in round 2.  Until he's ready Davon House, Damarious Randall and LaDarius Gunter will handle the perimeter while Quinten Rollins, Morgan Burnett and third round pick Desmond King cover the middle of the field. Ethan Pocic is an interior offensive linemen that consistently ends up on the Packers if I'm picking.  Love his game and his versatility.

Kittle and Price provide some sizzle in the fifth round.  Kittle provides an immediate special teams contributor and would immediately be the best blocking tight end on the roster.  Kittle is a player I'm consistently higher on than most.  You'd like Kittle to be 6'6", but he's not.  He still finds a way to bury people in the run blocking game and ran a blistering 4.52 40 yard dash at the combine.  Price is the pass rush specialist to complement the immediate improvement McKinley would provide to the run game. A base front 7 personnel of McKinley, Perry, Ryan, Matthews, Clark, Daniels and Jean-Francois would be as good as Green Bay has been against the run in years.

National Mocks

Chris Roling, Bleacher Report- Forrest Lamp, G WKU

I have a pretty standard take on this.  It's a fine fit.  Yes, Lamp is the best guard in the draft, yes Green Bay just lost TJ Lang, one of the best guards in football.  The reality is Thompson probably took Lang's replacement last year in Kyle Murphy.  If he didn't, he will this season.  He'll do it in the middle rounds.  

Matt Miller, Bleacher Report- Ryan Ramczyk, OL Wisconsin and Duke Riley, LB LSU

I like both players.  I have both players ranked inside my top 100.  With that said, Thompson doesn't value guard or inside linebacker and isn't going to use his two first round picks addressing these two positions.  Stranger things have happened, but not much stranger.

Todd McShay and Mel Kiper's Two Round Head to Head Mock- Dalvin Cook, RB Florida State and Cooper Kupp, WR Eastern Washington (Kiper), Charles Harris, EDGE Mizzou and Fabian Moreau, CB UCLA

I actually like Kiper's draft more than most would.  Yes it creates a huge issue on defense that probably can't be fixed in the last five rounds and through post draft free agency (both UDFAs and NFL), but it adds two starter quality studs to the offense.  Kupp and Cook would be two weapons Rodgers could use until retirement.  The McShay mock is going to be more popular and I am (obviously) in love with Moreau.  With that said calling Charles Harris a "twitched up athlete" is interesting considering his biggest detraction as a player is his athleticism.

SB Nation Mock Draft- TJ Watt, EDGE Wisconsin

SB Nation had their team sites do a one round mock draft last week and the Packers ended up with Wisconsin product TJ Watt.  Watt and the Packers sure seem linked and he seems to be a great fit.  I'm in.  Watt is my #17 overall player for the Packers, so to get him at 29 is good.... enough.

RJ White, CBS Sports- Gareon Conley, CB Ohio State

Conley is CB3 for me, right behind Tre'Davious White.  White offers more versatility, but Conley has the ability to contribute right away and also has the size to be a true outside cornerback.  4.44 speed doesn't hurt, either.  Conley might not have the upside of his teammate, Marshon Lattimore, but he is probably the better player right now.  Right now is the Packers window.

I didn't know anyone was projecting Ramczyk as a guard. I thought he was a top-3 LT prospect this year. It would be very weird to pick him in the first round to use at G.

King would be a steal at the bottom of the third round. Great short-area speed even if the 40-time isn't there. An immediate replacement for Hyde - I'd argue it would be an upgrade.

3 of the first 4 picks will be on the Offensive side of the ball. WR, RB, OL, and some sort of pass rush not in this order.

Mixon will be gone no later than early 3rd round, Godwin is a 2nd or 3rd round pick, Davis Webb is getting serious 1st round consideration, Saubert is a 4th/5th rounder, Golladay around 5-7, Adams is a 2nd - 3rd rounder. Man, you need to do some research!!

Not seeing it OL. WR, RB, OL, OLBx2, DL, ILB, CBx2 or probably another QB but no TE. With one caveat, of O.J. falls to us in the first round. Then...

Nice draft ross. Can't argue if Watt is gone. But I cannot believe TT goes back to UCLA this year. I still think Melifonwu S has a chance to be a packer. A good safety with size, just does not grow on trees. Also if Cunningham is there, TT would take him over McKinley.

I just don't get the love for Melifonwu, either. Tall for a SS, yes, but his traits make him out to be more of an ILB (and would be a very gangly one) and most scouting reports I have read indicate that he lacks coverage skills and instincts. Aaron Rouse 2.0?

Rouse? No way. Guy is always around the ball making plays. Some say he can play CB, He was all over the field with his athleticism. Stats show he's a playmaker. The only thing I heard bad about him, was that someone would over draft him. Every board I see , has him as the 3rd best Safety. (#30) I think to many are trying to compare him to urlacker. (stiff) I see more about him playing FS than SS. So thats interesting. When you think of how many safeties TT has drafted. It's a position that I would take if I wanted better from my secondary. Look at how many years it's taken for Ha Ha and burnett to play good. 4 plus before Ha Ha. took over in Collins place. Melifonwu is just at the right spot for the packers. And no way does TT trade up for Hooker or Adams.

I am thinking either Edge or CB is our first pick this year. I'm feeling more and more that getting to the QB is what it's going to take to improve our pass D, not a 3 year project at CB.

Lowry and Clark showed last year and IF they make the jump I think they will, I think our D will start to improve more than a little.

It will be hard for any player, except at perhaps CB to step in as a starter this year. I expect this draft class, at least for the first half of the season, to be pretty much backup or rotational guys. Unless something weird happens and someone drops significantly.

TT tends to do some weird things though. More often than not, he'll pick someone other than who everyone things he will leaving us scratching our heads. (see Randall and Rollins) And at other times, he nails it.

I think last year's will prove to be a strong draft class by next year. If he can duplicate that again this year, and the way the talent breaks down, it has a good chance to do so, we could be a pretty strong team in 2018-19. Question is, can it start to break through by the playoffs this year/

I agree. This draft class was already on its way, even when Martinez got hurt. Think about what propelled the Falcons late in the season: it was the progression of young guys on the defense...2nd and 3rd year players. Most of them got chucked into the fire early and played reasonably well. Fits the bill for Clark, Martinez and Lowry. Even a rebound year to average play from Rollins and Randall will help significantly. I'm guardedly optimistic.

Not at all. King steps in to Hyde's hybrid role. I really meant middle of the field. I don't expect Burnett to play much safety in 2017. Much ILB. I would have Burnett at WILB, Rollins at NB and King at DB/S in passing situations.

Now HERE is a draft I can fully get behind. McKinley is my favourite edge rusher with a chance to be there at #29. I like Sidney Jones too, though that achilles does worry me. On the subject of injuries, shouldn't CB Moreau (listed at #11) be lower on the Cheesehead big board, with his torn labrum (shoulder) ? If I were making a choice between CBs Conley and White, I'd go with Conley, who is not very physical, but more so than White.

I'm not sure about King's instincts, but the athleticism is great for a guy with that length.............hang on, that's KEVIN King, this is Desmond, the 5'10" tough guy safety with very good instincts, he's a baller.

I like Pocic for any inside position on the line, I like Kittle for his speed, and I like Ejuan Price enough that he features in more of my fanspeak mocks than most other players - undersized, but compact, powerful and effective - if he were 3-4" taller he'd go quite a lot earlier - bargain here.

Lack of a RB is a serious problem, but you have to play the board that is there for you. Beautifully drafted, Ross.

On a totally different Subject, can you have a word with Jersey Al about the virus 'Chrome Critical Update' that keeps popping up when I come here.

It's a pectoral issue for Moreau and it doesn't worry me as much because he can keep his legs in shape during rehab and be ready quicker than an Achilles (in theory). When Moreau is cleared he should be basically ready to roll in a week or two.

I like Jones and Moreau , and understand your injury question. But TT usually would not take a guy with an injury. Why wouldn't TT trade up for A . Jackson cb here? Everyone still loves Jackson. The only other solution is Conley in the first. But is he the BPA?

Want nothing to do with Adoree Jackson in any kind of trade-up. I see the second coming of T-Buck in this guy...maybe T-Buck might have been fine in the modern NFL where slot corners can last a long time. But I don't want to trade up to take a guy who's best-suited to eventually be a slot corner and feature as a KR/PR (especially when the league is going away from returns) while he learns to cover.

Adoree Jackson has big holes in his game. He is a bit too much of an athlete playing CB at this time. If you don't mind the risk, you might get a very good corner, but you also might get a guy who gets beaten deep too much. He might also be off, or further down Ted's board, being under 5'11".

Love this draft and if it came close to happening Packers fans would have to be excited, I myself would be doing backflips if I wasn't to old to try!

Love all the picks but I really like the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. Each one of those players could either start or press for playing time. Kittle is a underrated TE IMO. I think whoever drafts this kid is going to have quality TE who can catch and block in a year or two.
