GREEN BAY, Wis. – The NFL Draft is here! To celebrate, here are two mock drafts using simulators. In both cases, I ignored trades. What’s more random than a computer simulation of a draft? Computer-simulated trades in a draft. Let me know which you liked better.
Using the simulator at Pro Football Focus, I wound up with:
First round – Kentucky LB Jamin Davis. Talking with a personnel director this week, he mentioned Davis as a possibility at No. 29. The Packers literally have never had a linebacker like Davis. And, don’t forget, new defensive coordinator Joe Barry is a linebackers coach by trade.
