Arrigo's Packers Mock V.14.0

Hello Packers fans. It’s time my Packers mock draft v14.0. You can review the 13 other mocks I have done below this version.

As I have stated in the past, I try not to speculate on who the Packers keep, trade, sign or cut/release. But this time I will. I am writing this with no “inside knowledge” or based off anything that I have heard through any of my sources. This is a mock based off my opinion and the current CBA situation (which looks as if there will not be a new deal by the March 5th deadline) . I also feel that the Packers will receive a 5th round comp pick for Colin Cole.

This mock I will not add any free agents. It’s a straight mock with draft day trades.

I think the Packers resign/tender: Nick Collins, Ryan Pickett, Tramon Williams,  Jason Spitz, Chad Clifton, Mark Tausher, Desmond Bishop, Derrick Martin, Will Blackmon, Anthony Toribio, Daryn Colledge, Donald Lee, Atari Bigby, Jeremy Kapinos and Johnny Jolly.

I don’t think the Packers resign and/or release: Aaron Kampman,  Patrick Williams, Jarrett Bush, Josh Bell, Trevor Ford, Matt Giordano,  Brady Poppinga, Deshawn Wynn, Devin Frischknecht and Mike Montgomery.

Round 1 (#23)- Pick traded to Dallas for their 2010 1st (#27 overall), 2nd and 3rd round picks. (Dallas selects Mike Iupati)

Round 1 (#27)- Pick traded to Seattle for their 2010 2nd and 2011 first round pick. (Seattle selects Taylor Mays)

Round 3- Packers deal 2011 2nd round pick to Buffalo for 2010 3rd round pick.

Round 2 ( A )- Jerry Hughes- OLB- TCU: Hughes is the pass rush specialist that would be the perfect complement to Clay Matthews III. The former running back has the size, speed and quickness to be a force in the Packers 3-4 defense. The pass rush should not be a problem for the Packers in 2010 and beyond.

Round 2 ( B )- Dexter McCluster- RB/WR/KR- Ole Miss: McCluster is a doing every thing football player that is tough, smart and instinctive. He fills multiple “needs” for the Packers including a 3rd running back, a 5th wide receiver and a kick returner. He can also line up as a QB in a “Wild Pack” formation. I have heard the Packers have met with him a few times in Mobile and have a big time interest in him. This kids’ personality is out of this world.

Round 2 ( C )- Perrish Cox- CB/KR/ Oklahoma St.:  Cox is one of the best, if not the best  playmaker at the cornerback position in this draft. He plays with flair and confidence. There are whispers that he is cocky, but he would be the dime back (until Al Harris is ready) and main return specialist for the Packers. He has star potential.  

Round 3 ( A )-Vladimir Dycasse- OT- Massachusetts: Ducasse is a big, strong, raw player that some scouts feel has first or second round ability, but doesn’t always show it. The Packers land him in hope that he protects Aaron Rodgers blind-side for many years to come.

Round 3 ( B )- Morgan Burrnett- SS- Georgia Tech:  Burnett is a player that I feel could be a starter down the road, if not year 1. He has nice tools and fits the mold of what Capers look for in his strong safety. Good size & speed and makes plays. Not afraid to stick his nose in and hit someone either. 

Round 3 ( C )- Jared Veldheer- OT- Hillsdale: Mike McCarthy announced that T.J. Lang will move to right tackel, but some feel  he is better suited for left gaurd, so Veldheer has the chance to be the Packers right tackle of the future.

Round 4- Andrew Quarless- TE- Penn St.:  The Packers have a need for a very good blocking tight end, and Quarless is that with decent hands. He will push Donald Lee for playing time and could develop into a very good number two behind Jermichael Finley.

Round 5 ( A )- O’Brien Schofiled- OLB- Wisconsin: Tore his ACL at the Senior Bowl after a steller Shrine week. He is a really good pass rusher and could get better dropping into pass coverage. Great motor and a great kid overall. Met with Winston Moss at the combine and the two seemed to hit it off.

Round 5 ( B )- Akwasi Owusu-Ansah- CB/FS- Indiana (PA): A playmaker that has it all and is an outstanding return man. He is a ball hawk that may rise up draft boards after the combine but is coming off an injury. He has great size and speed and would be a welcome addition the Packers secondary. I see him as a 5th CB, back up free safety and a returnman.

Round 6- Zoltan Mesko- P- Michigan: The Packers have a “need” for a punter and even though Kapinos has been tendered, they will upgrade the punting position. Mesko knows how to kick in the elements and that is something the Packers like. He would be a major upgrade over Kapinos.

Round 7- Zac Robinson- QB- Oklahoma St.: Robinson is a raw prospects with some nice tools. He ran a “spread offense” at OSU but flashed enough to have the Packers liking him a lot. He would benefit by learning under Mike McCarthy and Tom Clements.
