More mock laughs...

I wonder if McShay actually does the research himself or hires some college interns?

He projects round 1 to the Packers Clemson DE/OLB Andre Branch...OK, that's fine...I think he's a quality player, fits a definite need, oppo CM3 might be a real badass.

But then flash to round 2, and he has the Packers taking Trumaine Johnson a fringe CB from Montana, who definitely has some measurable items in terms of size and speed...but the guy has a rap sheet...missed time for grades, was arrested for assaulting a po-po.

But what makes this even more laughable is that McShay has 4 picks later going to the Pats, LSU S Brandon Taylor...a guy who was projected as the #1 safety in the draft early last year and a far bigger need for the Packers than CB...plus he's a special teams demon.

Adrien Robinson, TE, Cincinnati
The Bearcats tight end didn't get invited to the Combine, but he is generating a lot of interest from NFL teams. In the weeks leading up to the draft, Robinson will take visits to Atlanta, Chicago, Green Bay, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Miami, New Orleans and Seattle. He is one of the most active prospects in the middle of the 2012 draft class. Part of the reason for him visiting so many teams is them not getting a chance to interview him at the Combine, Senior Bowl or East-West Shrine. They will use the visit to work him out and go through the standard interview process.

Robinson projects as a blocking tight end for the NFL. The 6-foot-4, 267-pounder has the strength to win at the point of attack. He caught 12 passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns as a senior. Robinson totaled a combinded 16 receptions for 239 yards in 2010 and 2009. While he is not a well-known prospect, he may fare well enough on his pre-draft visits to go from the undrafted ranks to a third-day pick.

Gino Gradkowski, C, Delaware
Like Robinson, Gradkowski is another sleeper prospect who is going on a lot of team visits. Gradkowski will travel to Atlanta, Baltimore, Green Bay, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Philadelphia and Tennessee. He is the younger brother of Bengals quarterback Bruce Gradkowski. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound center did not work out at the Combine or a major college All-Star game. Gradkowski ended up at Delaware after leaving West Virginia. In the 2012 NFL Draft he could make it into the late rounds.
Not a known Packer prospect, but worth mentioning anyway:

If McNeese St. (ex-Tenn) S-CB Janzen Jackson hasn't killed self off field, he probably did by puking like 5 times during drills at combine.
