By pillaging the Packer Backer Forum, we will slowly start analyzing the 2009 NFL draft as it unfolds for the Green Bay Packers. We aren't draft experts ourselves, but we know some guys who think they are.

Underclassman will start declaring after January 15th, 2009. At this point the guru's will start hitting the boards and the mock drafts can begin once again.
Since so many of you are itching to start early, here is how some see it right now.
Thanks to Mark and Kyle for starting us out with their Top 32 Prospect List as it stands today.

I really hope Orakpo will be available at number 9, and if so then we need to snap him up!

I wouldn't be upset with the pick if it went that way. Thanks for stopping by, come again.

"16. Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss.
Ht - 6-5, Wt - 318, 40 - 5.13"
Yes. I will be cheering for this guy where he goes. Non-fiction sports writer Michael Lewis wrote, "The Blind Side" about Oher and how the left tackle position (pro and college), college recruiting, and class/race structures have evolved over the years. It's an easy read thats very engaging-- any football nerd will inhale it.
Nice list though. I agree with GT's Johnson where you have him. A lot of people think he's top 10, but I hope we get someone better. He kinda gets punched in the mouth every time he's had a big game this year. A lot of potential though.

Not pillaging but sharing information LOL.... Our Draft guru Kyle.McCarroll writes for the Football expert .com and lives and breaths the draft.
The wild card is TT and whether he sticks to his board or trades down ???
