The draft is this Thursday and I can't wait! Here's a mock draft from ESPN...

http://espn.go.com/b...rk-mock-draft-3


1. Carolina Panthers, Cam Newton (QB, Auburn)
2. Denver Broncos, Marcell Dareus (DT, Alabama)
3. Buffalo Bills, Blaine Gabbert (QB, Mizzou)
4. Cincinnati Bengals, Patrick Peterson (CB, LSU)
5. Arizona Cardinals, Von Miller (OLB, Texas A&M)
6. Cleveland Browns, AJ Green (WR, Georgia)
7. San Francisco 49ers, Robert Quinn (DE/LB, North Carolina)
8. Tennessee Titans, Nick Fairley (DT, Auburn)
9. Dallas Cowboys, Tyron Smith (OT, USC)
10. Washington Redskins, Julio Jones (WR, Alabama)

The rest of the 1st round is in the link.

They have my Bucs taking Justin Houston out of Georgia; haven't watched him play really but we do need some pass rushers.

[True Lakers Fan]

Plus the judge Lifting the Lockout yes!

[TheBigFish]

Julio Jones, I'd be happy with him for us. We have so many holes so any pick is good...

[fedefox]

they predict Jimmy Smith for the Eagles, I hope we can get him, we need some help at the corners

[Draztik]

Colts taking Corey Liuget wouldn't be too bad, our D really needs to keep improving. It's a gamble though that our O line gets healthy for this season. Manning can make any receiver look like a stud so we don't really need anymore and hopefully our RB by committee get's better

It's crazy seeing Ingram projected to go in the later part of the round lol

[Windu]

good read on Marcell Dareus...

thought this was interesting, I think they pick Marcell Dareus, and you give Jimmy Clausen one more year, but I don't know that much about the Panthers because I never watched them, but I think they will take the Dareus but who knows, to many good players to choose from.

[Junayd]

we need a WR desperately.

Yeh, you would think they'd go with Dareus though just because of their new head coach...Ron Rivera. On the other hand, you need a QB in this league so they could take Cam Newton...but then he's more than likely not ready to start immediately. Peterson is a beast but do you take a corner as the number one overall pick? I can't seen them taking AJ Green with the overall pick because for one...you don't have a QB in place, it's risky taking a WR that high, and the team has greater needs.

I think it's gonna come down to Marcell Dareus and Cam Newton.

Ya I think it's between Marcell Dareus and Cam, and I think they are going to select Cam Newton, but it is going to be a really tough decision! Who is your team
Windu? and who do you want them to take with their pick?

My team is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I'd like to see us pick up a pass rushing DE to alongside Gerald McCoy. Bowers is gonna drop cause of the injury and I hope he's still there when we pick at 20. If not, I'll settle for one of the other ends like Kerrigan and Jordan.

Last year, we used our first two picks on defensive tackles (mccoy and price) and we didn't pick any offensive linemen. Most would say that taking an offensive lineman is a fairly safe pick so it would be nice if went that route as well.

I'd like to see GB draft an outside linebacker to complement Matthews. #1 need IMO.

Knowing Thompson(packers GM) wouldn't be surprised if he traded down, or took BPA and flip the script.
spots needing attention.
O-Line/ have to keep Rodgers healthy.
D-Line/ Need some big athletic bodies to help our rushing defense.
WR/ Need a sure handed speedster to stretch D's and Help Jennings.
CB/ Woodson isn't gonna be around for many more years. Have a good start with Tramon Williams and Shields. Can never have too many corners.
RB/ If Ingram drops the Packers have to consider. This will be Grant's last year(FA) and Starks is already in the fold. Not to mention Jackson is (FA) likely gone. Can never have too many RB's either.

Another thing we need a KR specialist.

the link doesnt work, or maybe it isnt working for me but I would probably agree with most of our picks, i would have to see who you picked for the my team, the Green Bay Packers.

Hey WhatUSaid, I didnt realize you were a packers fan, I thought I was the only one on this site lol, but I agree with you I think the packers should select a outside linebacker with their first pick, I hope Akeem Ayers the linebacker from UCLA falls to the packers him and clay matthews would be sick together, or I hope Jimmy Smith the cornerback from Colorado falls to us, but I doubt that will happen.

-I hope the packers select a offensive lineman as well, because most of our guys are getting pretty damn old, and we need to protect Aaron Rodgers
-I think we could also select a defensive lineman for the first round, i have been hearing Cameron Heyward from the Ohio State.
-You said wide receiver I agree we need one but i think we could wait until the 3rd or 4th round to get one, hopefully Titus Young from Boise State or some other receiver that we can pick up in the later rounds.
-Corners I agree we should pick one up but I dont think we should use one of our first couple of picks because we should address other needs that we have. And this year's corners aint the best besides Peterson, the guy from Nebraska, Jimmy Smith.
-Running back I don't think Mark Ingram is going to drop to us personally, I see him going to the Patriots, but I dont think the Packers select a running back unless it is in the final rounds, Ryan is coming back and I think he'll come back strong, and Starks looked pretty damn good on our superbowl Run, and if Jackson walks we still have Kuhn.

But I think we need a Kick Returner-Punt Returner.

yeh, stupid link won't work!

I don't think ayers or smith will fall that far but I could see gb taking an offensive lineman, corner, linebacker, or wideout

5 minutes!

I'm really hoping the Panthers take Cam with the #1 pick, no QB on our current roster is worthy of starting games. [expletive]ty thing about today is that teams can only trade picks and not players, I'm certain the Panthers could get a high pick for Steve Smith.

yeh. that puts the franchises into a little bind because a certain team may want to get a QB from FA rather than draft one but thats impossible to do now.

CAM!!!!
