[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1061723, member: 12283"] This will be my final stab at the Packers' plans for the weekend. I think they'll come by another pick or two, but for now I am going to just project the existing eight: [B]1.23-- Donovan Ezeiruaku, DE, Boston College: [/B]Hafley's tree is all about pass rush. Ezeiruaku isn't the typical Packers' type at DE, but he also would fill a niche as a speed-rush/sack artist that they're currently missing. When you have a lot of big base ends on the roster, it frees you up to take the guy who specializes in getting the QB on the ground. The Packers allegedly had interest in Will McDonald, which seems to lend itself to this idea. I absolutely love Ezeiruaku. He's my favorite prospect in this class. Some have suggested that he lacks the initial burst to be an effective speed rusher, but the more I watch him the less I believe that. I think he just needs to get a little better at timing the snap. He fits a lot of the indicators for a Packers' first round pick-- he is a great athlete at a premium position, he has gobs of production, he reportedly possesses very high character, he was a senior bowl standout, and he didn't have a top 30 visit (that we know of).
