I love the setup of BR for my phone, but they've got some of the worst writers. Everything written is full of fail...

A couple writers I follow on twitter have gone to BR and every time they tweet their move to BR I congratulate them and tell them I am looking forward to their slideshows ;)

Honestly they have increased the talent over there dramatically from a few years ago, but the way they brought in anyone to write and the slideshows just ruin it. Its all about page hits and that is annoying.

They did nab a few good writers (Kruse has always been a bright spot on that staff) but when Bob Fox is your Packers draft authority you might as well make your picks with a bingo machine.

I think Nagler works there now. Too bad he isnt the packers go to authority

here is who the 3 guys doing this mock have us taking in the 1st

Mike Anthony Barr
UCLA LB Barr is a great fit here, but like Bell, he probably won't last this long. Rex Ryan, for example, could see him sitting there at 18 and say "screw the offense." If Barr does linger, the Packers get a perfect bookend to Clay Matthews: a Mike Vrabel-type of all-purpose outside linebacker who can rush the passer or drop into coverage to take opportunities away from quarterbacks on the run.
Dan Stephon Tuitt
Notre Dame DE They really need a tight end and a safety, but Tuitt might be a smarter choice here. Ted Thompson does not like to reach to fill a hole.
Russ Timmy Jernigan
Florida State DT With B.J. Raji and Ryan Pickett free agents and the Packers' defense struggling with consistency in 2013, it is clear there will be changes on their defensive line. Jernigan is not the huge man the Packers are used to, but he has the explosiveness, speed and power that could really add playmaking ability to their defense.

Saw that earlier today, Barr won't be there at. #21 while Tuitt would be a reach at that spot. Seems like Jernigan would be a fit for the Packers if it's true they're looking for more athletic guys on the DL.

The guy that selected Tuitt had us pass on gilbert and the guy that selected Jernigan had us pass on Haha. Seems a bit suspicious

Here is my mock what do yall think?

1st round #21 ILB CJ Mosley 6-2 232 4.65 Alabama
Could develop into a Navarro Bowman type presence. Has the ability to line up at inside or outside backer. Is a very instinctive player who played in the 3-4 defense in college.
1st round #29 (patriots for #53,#85,#181) S Calvin Pryor 6-2 208 4.52 Louisville
Could be a day one starter at strong safety in Green Bay allowing Morgan Burnett to return to free safety, the position he is better suited to play. Consistently delivers big hits something the Packers defenses of recent have been lacking.
3rd round #. ( compensatory) S Jimmie Ward 5-11 192 Northern Illonois
Has the ability to play either free or strong safety and could immediately be the number 3 safety ready to step in for either Burnett or Pryor without missing a beat. Very sure tackler in the open field should excel on special teams and has shown a unique ability for blocking punts.
4th round #117 WR Martavis Bryant 6-4 200 4.38 Clemson
Would give the Packers a Randy Moss type of down field threat to develop. Would fit in very well as the number 4 reciever behind Nelson, Cobb, and Boykin as a rookie allowing the Packers to maintain a dangerous 4 wide look.
5th round #149 RB/WR/KR De'anthony Thomas 5-9 170 4.36 Oregon
Would keep Cobb off the return units. Has the ability to score from anywhere on the field whether it be on a return, a handoff, or a pass. Is a very good route runner who could be motioned out of the backfield or be lined up in the slot or outside and be dangerous on crossing routes or screens.
6th round # (compensatory) DL Deandre Coleman 6-5 315 Cal
Could play defensive end or nose tackle in the Packers 3-4. Has prototypical size and athleticism the Packers are looking to add to their defensive line. Would be excellent insurance against the loss of any or all 4 of the Packers pending free agent linemen, Raji, Pickett, Jolly, and Wilson.
7th round # TE Colt Lyera 6-5 250 4.59 Oregon
Is a troubled young man who needs to get his life in order. If he can he would be a steal for the Packers in the 7th round. He has shown the ability to be a dynamic player at the TE position and would be an ideal candidate to replace Jermichael Finley. Would add a new dimension to the offense as he has been effective motioning into the backfield and taking the handoff similar to the play McCarthy called in the playoff game with 1st and goal from the SF 9 yard line.

21. Green Bay Packers – Jimmie Ward, S, Northern Illinois – The Pack could go in a few different directions here, but a playmaker at safety should be their target. Ward is one of the fastest risers in this class right now, and could make in impact in many different ways from Day
