That's what I am saying. I was pretty satisfied with the FSU guys at the combine. Plus we had Jarrian Jones for a 30 visit. Like I said before the combine, Rakestraw was going to be interesting because of borderline size. He was supposedly still recovering from surgery at the combine, so we will see what he can do at the pro day. But maybe he is already off the board for being too small, I don't know. I am just saying what I would do. I think I would send the regional scout to FSU to confirm and go see the Mizzou guys myself. Regardless of if I would rather be in Tallahassee or Columbia today, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanfb Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Another Mizzou guy to watch for GB is Javon Foster. Underrated OT prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirwan related information....remember he was a GM. He was talking about doing mock drafts with Jim Miller. Somehow they were talking about Mims, the tackle from Georgia. Kirwan said Jimmy is going to have to draft him because Pat will not. He said he started 8 games. 8 games despite his size. Pat said the kid is overflowing with talent and potential. And he's drafted guys like that in the first round before....and now he's doing radio. Note: I'm unsure if he only started 8 games. I see 3 years of snaps on PFF, but I don't know if they were starters snaps, or what they were. But Pat is going to stay far away from him when he runs the mock drafts with Jim. Just info for the sake of having info. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day 3 guy, decent testing but not elite. Damn good blocking scores last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneTwoSixFive Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) I don't think Mims fits a Packer profile at 6'8", 340.................but never say never, as the Packers do have Caleb Jones on the roster and he is what, 6'9", 370 odd ? Now it may be simply that the Packers see later round guys differently and will take a flyer on them, letting them sit on the PS for a year or two, which you can't do with a high pick.

As in, would injury explain why he didn't start more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is 5'11 and 179. I don't see any way the Packers want any part of that. Rakestraw is more in line with the size of SJC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'23, looks like Mims had a left ankle injury on Sept. 16 that needed TightRope surgery and missed 6 games, came back and played the rest of the season but had a right ankle injury and left the game in the SEC Champ game ....

skibrett15 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I just don't see DeJean as a fit for the Packers style. He doesn't fit the measurables as a CB which would warrant the draft slot as a more premium position. So he'll be evaluated as a safety IMO. And GB doesn't usually go S in the first round, especially not as a project type player. I think the player seems really good but I don't think our staff will take that kind of a swing. Guyton should be the pick if he's there at the slot - athletic tackle prospect. Hopefully he is there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
