If I were Ted Thompson, I would have drafted…
1. DT BJ Raji. Michael Crabtree would be very tempting, but the Packers are stacked at wide receiver, and Raji is a terrific value.
2. OLB Everette Brown. I wouldn’t have traded up for Matthews. Sintim and Barwin are also options here.
3. OLB Michael Johnson. I would have traded up a few spots to grab a pass rusher.
3. Traded to Bengals to move up in 3rd round.
4. DT Sammie Lee Hill. A big fast DT to help clog the middle.
5. FB Quinn Johnson. Arguably the best fullback in the draft. Tough football player.
5. OT Jamon Meridith. A great value and eventual starter on the o-line.
6. DE Jarius Wynn. This guy has potential, and that’s what you look for in the later rounds.
7. CB Mike Mickens. He led the nation in interceptions last season. Very fast, and a great value in the 7th round.
