[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 717383, member: 9033"] Most recent SBNation mock has the Packers taking Tre'Davious White but what I'm more interested in is that the mock draft has Malik McDowell being taken by the Falcons AFTER the Packers pick White. Not sure about others, but I would EXTREMELY disappointed if the Packers passed on McDowell. He has prototypical size to play 3-4 DE and he could move inside on passing downs to pair very well with Mike Daniels. Yes, the Packers have more pressing needs at CB but passing on a potentially elite dlineman would be a huge mistake; for what it's worth, mockdraftables closest comparisons based on combine numbers for McDowell are Leonard Williams and Gerald freaking McCoy (that's some great company!). PFF's comparison for McDowell is Michael Johnson, DE for the Bengals who has been a very DE for many years. White might turn out to be very good (he is an excellent prospect) but dlinemen are more valuable in the NFL, especially when you can get a great dlineman on a rookie contract because great dlinemen make a LOT of money when they get off their rookie deals (yes, corners do as well but not to the degree dlinemen do). One of the things that the Pats have been so good at over the years is emphasizing positions early in the draft that provide value on their rookie deals. (Fyi, for those that aren't aware mockdraftable.com is AMAZING for getting an idea of athletic guys really are relative to others at their positions). [/QUOTE]
