9 - Michael Oher - OT - Mississippi State 6-5 310
Prototypical left tackle build. ... Has good height and excellent athleticism. ... Unlike some left tackles, he has girth in his lower body. ... Uses his long arms to lock onto the defender to nullify the pass rush. ... Gets into his pass set quickly and has very good lateral movement. ... Not fooled by dancing on the line. ... Shows the feet to pull inside, get to either shoulder as a run blocker and nullify linebackers outside on screen passes. ... Sustains and mirrors as long as possible and will play through the whistle. ... Improvement as a run blocker as a senior. Began to play with more aggression and physicality at the second level. ... An ascending talent who should only get better.

41 - Clint Sintim - LB - Virginia 6-3 256
Good height and strong lower- and upper-body build. ... Often plays as the elephant linebacker in the 3-4, where he will likely play in the pros. ... Good straight-line speed and will hustle to get downfield angles. ... Closes on quarterbacks quickly. ... Long arms and strength to secure the tackle. ... Shows versatility as a hand-down pass rusher on third down. ... Gets off the ball, can get under the pads of tackles and rip them aside. ... Generally holds up against OT blocks, and can occasionally shed to make a play. ... Takes on fullback blocks to stand his ground or create a pile.

Trade:
73(225) + 145 (34) for 66 (260) from Rams


66 - Chase Coffman - TE - Missouri 6-6 245
Rare size potential for the position. Athletic enough to line up in a variety of positions, including split out wide, in motion or along the line of scrimmage. Good initial quickness off the snap. Has the lateral agility to avoid the jam at the line and get a clean release into his route. Uses his hands well in this area to break free from defenders when initially challenged. Good lateral quickness and body control to gain separation from defenders. Good balance and body control to make the acrobatic reception with defenders draped over him. Can make the tough catch in traffic and looks to get upfield to gain extra yardage. Reliable hands. Generally looks the ball into his hands to make the secure reception, but will trap the ball against his body when he anticipates a big hit. More physical as a blocker than you'd expect for a tight end split wide as often as he is. Provides a good initial jolt to the defender when blocking and gives good effort to sustain his blocks.

83 - Dorell Scott - DT - Clemson 6-4 320
Prototypical frame for the position with room for an additional 10-15 pounds of bulk. ... Flashes impressive initial quickness off the snap for a player his size. ... Good balance and can redirect his charge to close when open lanes are presented. ... Quick hands to deflect the blocker's initial hand punch. ... Has some rush technique, including an impressive rip. ... Can get his hands up to create obstacles in the passing lane. ... Can close running lanes due to his size. ... When playing with leverage, has the leg drive to hold up at the point of attack and flashes the ability to split double-team blocks.

109 - Sammie Lee Hill - DL - Stillman College 6-4 320
Tall with muscular overall build and long arms. ... Displays excellent agility and quickness for his size. ... Uses a punch and good hand play to discard offensive tackles at the line of scrimmage. ... Swats chipping running backs away like flies on the outside. ... Good closing speed and has the length to wrap up in the backfield. ... Flashes the initial quickness inside. ... Bull rushes his man into the pocket when one-on-one inside. ... Breaks down on the edge and changes direction well for his size. ... Could project as a 3-4 defensive end.

182 - Seth Olsen - OL - Iowa 6-5 310

Naturally large man with good weight distribution. Good initial quickness off the snap. Very good hand placement and upper-body strength. Seems to enjoy the physical hand-to-hand combat inside the trenches. Good strength to latch onto the defender, turn and either sustain his position or toss the defender onto ground for a pancake block. Underrated short-area lateral quickness and balance to hold up in pass protection. Plays with good leverage despite his height. Versatile blocker who has started at right guard, right tackle and left tackle over the past two years. Impressive week of practice at the East-West Shrine game.

187 - Joe Burnett - CB - UCF 5-9 195

Confident and a leader on the field. ... Stronger than you'd expect for his size. ... Good vertical, able to make a play on jump balls. ... Solid hands for the interception and is elusive enough to make yardage after the catch. ... Good recovery and closing speed -- is never out of a play. ... Nice hand-eye coordination to break up passes. ... Quality kickoff and punt returner because he has solid hands, good vision and patience, hits the open lane hard, makes the first man miss and runs through arm tackles.

218 - Sammie Stroughter - WR Oregon State 5-9 190

Good lateral quickness and surprising strength to gain a release from press coverage. Good foot quickness and balance as a route-runner. Can generate consistent separation despite less than ideal deep speed. More quick than fast. Elusive. Can make defenders miss in small quarters and has the vision to set up blocks to turn short and intermediate routes into long gains. Can make the spectacular catch due to his body control and flexibility. Generally reliable hands. Tough. Willing to go over the middle and can absorb a big hit and hang on to the ball. Size, agility and toughness to project nicely as a slot receiver.

Some things I like about your mock that I hope the Pack does. First, you have two OL - a potential starter and one with the versatility to make training camp very competitive. Second, you have two DL that could turn out to be studs or duds. Taking both reduces the risk of a total bust. Would be glad to see the Pack take both and hope they work out. Third, the Pack really needs another viable TE in the mix. BPF

Yeah, I feel that if we do nothing else we need to shore up the lines. I also feel like Sintim is someone who could play anywhere at 3-4 LB and is a safe add-on to the linebacking corps. Without the solid line, it doesn't matter who the linebackers are though.

I think an OT in the 1st is just what we need.

Also, I would prefer another DE with the 66 pick. Finley will be fine this year and we don't need to draft a TE.

Agree, Sintim would be a great addition. OLB is interesting position for the Pack. Hope they don't spend a #1 pick on the position. On the other hand, believe they need to spend a #2 or maybe #3 pick to clearly upgrade the roster. BPF

I just have a hard time believing Michael Oher will be drafted, or should be drafted, in the top 10. He's invited to the draft up in NY, but with the addendum: The NFL routinely has invited six of the projected top picks but league officials decided to expand the list to include players who have compelling stories, even if they are not necessarily top 10 selections.

I just believe there's a safer pick out there that could still provide immediate impact.

To me, Oher is one of the safest picks in the entire draft. He is a full-time player from day one with the upside of a prototype franchise tackle. I know many worry about him, but he has always been a true gamer.

At this point it seems like the #9 will likely be someone from this list:

BJ Raji - Part-time player with intelligence and character concerns.
Andre Smith - Well-publicized maturity issues.
Michael Oher - Parents were poor.
Tyson Jackson - No real great upside.
Beanie Wells -- Not safe. Injury Risk

Of those, Oher may be the safest at #9.

The reason I question Oher's impact is that he seems to have an inconsistent motor, according to scouts. Doesn't play with great pad level, according to draftcountdown.com.

Hm. I was sold on three players for the #9 spot: Orakpo, Jackson, or Raji. I may have to add Oher to the list, though. Ted does have a penchant for obtaining players with good stories, or who would benefit from a small-town atmosphere (Robinson, Pickett, Harrell). I'm seeing how the Packers brass could view him as 'Packer People'.

Wow, perhaps I have no clue what I saw when I watched Oher but he looked pretty dominate to me. Read what Draft countdown says about Jackson- it is worse...
