I'll stick with my picks above.  Only thing is that I've seen a bunch of stuff today saying James Bradberry will definitely be picked tonight which takes out one of my fourth round guesses.  But if Chris Jones gets to #45, I wouldn't be surprised to see Thompson move up and grab him.  There many be players that Thompson might make a small move (say 5 spots) up to get, maybe somebody like Correa.  But the only significant move that Thompson would make up would be to land Jones.  If not I think he'd be happy to sit and wait and take Kaufusi at #57 to play OLB.  I think Kaufusi does make it to #57, if Lewis makes it to #88 is a much bigger question.

Hunter Henry would be one heck of a bargain at the end of round two but I don't think Thompson picks him.  Nick Vannett...Thompson already has one really slow third round tight end on the roster.  Cook took the one tight end opening and I think Thompson will want to address other areas.

I don't see Brothers as a strong candidate either.  Good player, worth the pick, but I'm guessing Thompson wouldn't have him as a second round player.  Thompson probably loves the film and what Brothers did in the agility drills, but probably wouldn't be crazy about his long speed (4.89 in the 40) and his length (30 3/4 inch arms).  Still would guess that Thompson sees the best value at ILB in round four with Vigil, Kwiatkoski and Martinez.

 

SI.com had Fackrell going to the Steelers at 59.  Means nothing but always like seeing mocks have your guys going earlier than you got them.  

Interesting about Ragland.  Thanks for posting MichiganPacker.  I really wonder if the the Justin Harrell debacle has made TT avoid injury risks at the top of the draft.  Plus, injury issues have changed the trajectories of Worthy, Sherrod, Neal, Jones and Perry.  Those guys had no pre-draft red flags, but TT has to hate having high round picks derailed due to injuries so if a red flag is there, maybe he just avoids it.  We'll probably never know

Day 3  round 4 "free picks" edition. Nick Kwiatkowski. ILB West Virginia. Tyler Irvin. RB SJ State. 

Would love to see Brothers fall all the way to 131. That's asking a bit much though. Nick is a nasty ILB that converted from safety. Led WV in tackles all 3 years he started. Looks and plays like Scooby Wright but Nick is considerably faster. I'd be fine with either in round 4 though.

Brothers would be interesting.  I figured he'd go in the first three rounds, but Thompson wouldn't pick him because of the 40-time and arm-length.  But he was an excellent player at Missouri, made plays all over the field, and while parts of his combine workouts were ordinary he did do an excellent job in the agility drills.  So there is stuff there that Thompson would like and stuff there that Thompson probably doesn't like.  I could see Thompson using a round four pick on him though.

Thompson threw a curve ball at me by going OT second and OLB third.  I figured it would be the other way around with some attractive OLBs available at the end of round two and the OTs pretty well cleared out.  The trade up did me in.  Now the rest of my final mock is in bad shape because James Bradberry is off the board (not a big surprise) and Brandon Williams is off the board (that is a big surprise, never expected him to go as high as he did).

Of the 98 picks, I think I have 81 so far of my top 100 list and McGinn is up to 83.  So it looks like Big Bad Bob whooped me again this year.

Because analyzing mock accuracy is more important than analyzing the actual picks. 

"Thompson threw a curveball at me? That trade up did me in?" What you're saying is you don't care about GB. You care about being right on guessing. I liked it better when you didn't have interest in the NFL.

If this is about the photo from the other thread, that is an actual picture of Geronimo, one of the only photos of him ever taken.  It's not meant to be derogatory in any way.  It is the opposite.

Final total correct was 82.  That's the same as I did last year.  McGinn beats me by 2.  Still did a bit above average.  Top score was 87.  Mayock and McShay also finished with 84.  Zierlein of NFL.com had the same as I did.  Finished ahead of Brandt (80) and Kiper (79).

This next part is just for chillijon.  Since I did above average in my predictions I will give the Packers an above average grade in this draft.  If I would have beat McGinn then I would have given the Packers an A+.  If I would have finished behind Kiper than I would have said the Packers did horrible, Thompson is getting old and senile and the Packers suck and Go Bears.  But since I did OK with my predictions, and that's obviously the most important thing when it comes to the NFL draft, I'll say the Packers get an above average grade in the draft.
