1st Round (23 overall): Jerry Hughes, DE/OLB, TCU
High-motor Horned Frog will bring to the table everything Green Bay hoped Kampman would. McCarthy and Thompson consider moving up for Anthony Davis or Bryan Bulaga before settling on the productive edge rusher. (Also considered: Rodger Saffold, Taylor Mays)
2nd Round (56 overall): Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, CB, Indiana (PA)
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie without as much hype because of a pre-draft injury, Owusu-Ansah means "Born for Sunday." Indeed. Fast, strong, and physical, albeit raw, Owusu-Ansah would be a versatile toy for Capers to play with, while being the type of small school name Thompson loves to pick up. (Also considered: Jared Veldheer, Koa Misi, Carlton Mitchell)
3rd Round (86 overall): Jason Fox, OT, Miami (FL)
Thompson gets a four-year starter at the U who can fill in immediately if/when Tauscher and Clifton get hurt. Fox is a nice fit for the zone blocking scheme, as he is big (6'7"), very athletic, and has excellent feet. (Also considered: Dexter McCluster, Taylor Price)
4th Round (122 overall): Torrell Troup, DL, Central Florida
Troup was dominant at the East-West Shrine Game, and if he is on the board here, would be an excellent choice to provide quality depth at DE, as well as insurance for Johnny Jolly's inevitable prison sentence.
(Also considered: Kevin Thomas, Selvish Capers)
5th Round (154 overall): O'Brien Schofield, OLB, Wisconsin
The Packers have been enamored with Schofield since the Shrine Game, and continue to be, despite his knee having been blown out by UMass' Vladimir Ducasse. Schofield would be an excellent value this late, as his stock was on par with that of surefire first-rounder Brandon Graham at the outset of Senior Bowl practices.
(Also considered: Freddie Barnes, Shaun Lauvao)
5th Round (169 overall): Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Southern Methodist
Thompson picks up his yearly obscure wide receiver a round too early. Doesn't have great size (5'11), but is an elusive vertical threat with return capabilities.
6th Round (193 overall): John Estes, C/OG, Hawaii
Need bodies on the interior. Estes is big and mauling- two things Scott Wells isn't.
7th Round (230 overall): David Moosman, OT, Michigan
Word is he'll actually get a tryout somewhere. I hope that "somewhere" isn't "Green Bay".
