Okay, here we go with version 2. I still like guys from my first mock, but I purposely didn't reuse a single player. That makes it more interesting and also gets me more picks on the books so that I might actually get a few right.
First draft:
1 Trade for 2nd and 3rd.
2a Ryan Shazier Ohio State ILB
2b Deone Buchannon S Washington
3a Donte Moncrief WR
3b Stanley Jean-Baptiste CB
3c [Comp] Zack Kerr NT – 6’1” 322.
4th Josh Mauro DE Stanford – 6’6” 280#
5 Justin Britt OT
6a Ronald Powell OLB
6b [Comp] Marcel Jensen TE Fresno State
7 Darwin Cook S WV

Here we go with version 2:
Murphy, Thompson, and McCarthy discussing auto lease vrs purchase while Amish 'recruitment consultants' can be seen discussing draft plans in back room.
1.21 Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix S 6'1" 208
I don’t know that he will be available at 21. I think he will drop lower than he should because of over-analysis. The guy is an all-around football player with great understanding and passion for the game. There are several players the Packers could go with this pick. CJ Mosley (my favorite) / Mike Evans WR (should go top 10 but because there are so many very good WRs this year, you can get a good one in the 3rd round – 6’5” with amazing body control/athleticism. Although we don’t need a WR, you can’t pass up a potential superstar) / Ryan Shazier (athleticism) / Eric Ebron (Finley who?)
2.53 Jordan Matthews WR 6’3” 212 Vanderbilt
Assuming we don’t get lucky and grab Evans in first, we get Matthews in the 2nd. A big guy who is very good at everything. Will be able to play from the get go and will develop into an impact player. Because of our already deep talent at WR, we should get a more raw guy who will be ready in his 2nd or 3rd year because we can get them later. But I like Matthews and think if there wasn’t such a great WR class this year, he would have gone in the 1st.
3.85 Christian Jones ILB 6’3” 234 Florida State
Can't read the entire jersey name, but how cool if his name is "HURTS". CJ is tremendous athletically, can do everything we ask. Versatile to play OLB as well. Good coverage skills. He played all over the field in for FS. He even played DE last season - his being moved around affected his stats considerably. I had Chris Borland at first but I have my doubts. I think his lack of athleticism will be exposed at the NFL level.
3.98 Justin Ellis NT 6'2" 334 - Louisiana Tech
Big guy who plays with reckless abandon. Plays with lots of enthusiasm and suddenness. Needs to learn technique and not just attack with everything he has on every play. Not a great athlete but could develop into quite a force at NT.
4.121 Walt Aikens CB 6'1" 205 Liberty
Perhaps the most athletic CB in the draft. Heavily recruited by major schools, he ended up going to Illinois. Was kicked off the team after found with a stolen laptop. Not sure what the story is there, but hopefully he grew up. Will take some work as he probably didn't get competitively challenged at the lower level of competition.
5.161 Terrence Brooks S 5'11" 198 Florida State
Yep, I'm double dipping at the safety spot. Brooks is too good to pass up at this point. Very athletic and tenacious. Started out as a CB, only got on the field last two seasons when he switched to Safety. An intelligent player who likes to hit and attacks the line of scrimmage. Will need a year or two as he is still learning the position.
5.176 Devon Kennard OLB 6’3” 239 USC
I am not sure why Kennard is projected to go so late. He seems like a very capable playmaker. He is also one of the better human beings in this years draft. Organized and promoted to various charities and organizations. Went to Hati to build houses for the poor one off-season.
6.197 Trai Turner OG 6'3" 310
Bit of a gamble here. Young player who should have stayed in school. Very powerful and quick. Does not play with control and quickly abandons proper form if he thinks he is going to be beat. Needs to trim some baby fat and could be a road grader of a G. Pick him in the hopes that his body develops a bit more and his lateral quickness improves. Right now he is an excellent run blocker, but needs work as a pass blocker. I think the 310 is before he eats breakfast.
7.236 Jeremy Butler WR 6'2" 218 UT-Martin
Uber stud at a small school. The thing is, he only played 2 years for UTM after transferring from a JC. He is still very raw, but there is a lot to like. Fast and quick, he has run in the low 4.4s - impressive for a big guy. He probably won't get drafted - I didn't see him on 2 top 400 lists I have. Anyway, I think he is worth a shot to keep on the practice squad for a year and see what he is.
There you have it.
