I'll take that over a 3 inches any day.61st Overall: Jalen Mayfield - OT/Michigan: I think going OT in the 2nd Round is possibly the best value decision they can make in the Draft, especially if Mayfield is there. Outside of a couple guys I think OTs #3-11 are pretty comparable in ability, with just some minor tweaks here and there. But they have to pull the trigger here or experience a pretty hefty drop off in talent.  Mayfield is a 1st Round tackle in my opinion, he's just the 7th to maybe 9th best tackle in a class full of blue chips.92nd Overall: Dylan Moses - LB/Alabama: That ILB group is incredibly thin, and outside of just taking a gamble on somebody late, they've got to fill it with somebody who can make a decent impact sooner rather than later, especially if Kamal Martin gets bit by the injury bug again. Enter, Moses, who is not only can go out there and excel from a leadership standpoint (he has experience at every LB spot), but also has the attitude in energy that when he finds the ball he's going to destroy whoever has it. Plus he's not a total liability in coverage either.134th Overall: Marlon Tuipulotu - DL/USC: Jay Tufele and Levi Onwuzurike, where art thou? The league is going to snatch up the best DL talent early, but for the Packers to swing big at this position will cost them far too much in the first three rounds. As a sub package gem, I think Tuipulotu can add immensely to this defense immediately, and since sub packages are pretty much the new base defense in the NFL, I think he's a pretty good pick here in the 4th.143rd Overall: Johnathan Adams Jr. - WR/Arkansas State: WHO? But wait, he's not a a slot receiver! I don't think the Packers are purely locked in on getting somebody who can line up in the slot, nor should they be. The Packers needed one more playmaker period, and Adams Jr. could be that guy. His highlight reel is littered with contested catches and jump balls. He ran a limited route tree at Arkansas State, but there are some instances of him lining up in the slot, as well as him running slants, curls, posts, etc from the outside. He fights hard through contact, which other than maybe Adams, no other WR on this roster seems to exhibit regularly. Blocks in the run game, ran 4.4 yesterday at his Pro Day, so probably the second fastest WR on the Packers roster if selected. Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Year, Biletnikoff finalist, he checks all my boxes.173rd Overall: Sadarius Hutcherson - OL/South Carolina: I just love this guy, I can't not mock him in to the Packers, I just hope they do too. Combined with the talents of Mayfield, I think these two added to the list of veterans already on the roster shore up any concerns we might have of the Packers not being able to execute if Bakhtiari isn't available Week 1. Hutcherson lines up anywhere other than Center, which give the Packers plenty of flexibility to put the best lineup out there possible.182nd Overall: Johnathan Marshall - DL/Arkansas: This guy will dog opposing offensive lines every snap. Marshall I can see as a 3-down or "base" DL. Marshall, who demands attention in his own right, should give Clark more ability to push the pocket and get sacks. Add in Tuilupotu, and the veteran Keke, this should be a DL unit that compliments each other while also giving new DC Barry flexibility in his blitz packages. The name of the game in the system should for the OL and QB to not know where the rush is coming from, and Marshall will draw eyes every snap.211th Overall: Joshuah Bledsoe - DB/Missouri: With Samuel selected at 29th, Bledsoe addresses that 3rd or 4th CB spot that may come into question. He also adds more versatility to the secondary with being able to play Safety. I also see him with great Special Teams value, and we all know how much that means to us.225th Overall: Janarius Robinson - DE/Florida State: Robinson suffices as my DPR from Day 1 who also isn't necessarily awash in the run game. I think Robinson it's more of him understanding run fits better while also gaining more muscle in the weight room to be a complete player. He rounds out my full rebuild of the DL room. Lowry either takes a cut, or gets sent packing.254th Overall: Bryan Mills - CB/North Carolina Central: If [USER=6578]@tynimiller[/USER] won't mock him I will. I watched some more Senior Bowl footage and as a guy who could be there late I see him as a priority signing, possibly even in the 6th. He needs a bit more coaching but overall I think he could push for playing time down the stretch as he also adds a bit more functional strength to handle bigger WRs.</blockquote>
