Green Bay Packers: Aaron Maybin, DE/OLB, Penn State
I've never had Aaron Maybin higher than No. 23 in any of my 2009 NFL Mock Drafts. I've had my reasons - he was too small, too raw... his 40 was too slow... he was a one-year wonder...

Well, Maybin blew away scouts and general managers at Penn State's Pro Day. Maybin continued to put on weight - he measured in at 253 - and he managed to run a 4.59, which was 0.3 faster than his time at the Combine. Maybin also had a 40.5-inch vertical and a 10-10 broad jump.

Maybin's improved numbers may have the Packers convinced that he could start right away, but his upside is really ridiculous. Maybin is turning 21 in April, so he's only going to get quicker and stronger.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Well, I can understand this, ONLY if they think he can be a starter right away. Imagine the advantage we'd have if he could be a big time player his first year, and he still has a good 10-12 years left on him, considering his age.

Honestly, I'd be all over this pick. He has a Freeney-type off the ball speed. Granted, he'd be playing OLB. But that might even be better for his build/ability.

If Raji or Orakp aren't there (lookin' more likely as time goes on) then I'd go with Maybin.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

I didn't really consider him a top 20 pick until I saw his Pro Day numbers. Sick. Just sick man.

Could we trade down and get him or do you think he impressed too many scouts?

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Steve Wyche, NFL.com
Andrew, Great question. Keep in mind, players might move up mock draft boards because of a great workout -- but not on most NFL draft boards. Teams formulate their draft boards in advance of the Combine. What they see there might make a player move in either direction but if there is a big move, it's usually headed backwards because of an injury or character flaw. Not many players make a huge jump, although QB Josh Freeman seems to have really made a move. I think that could be in part because some teams really need a quarterback to develop.

I don't know how high he was at NFL teams' mocks before the combine, but I can imagine he dropped a little at the combine and moved back to about his old position at his pro day.

That would mean we would have to trade down. I wouldn't have that big a problem with that, although I'd still prefer Mr. Smith if he was around at 9. On the other side, we do have some great trade leverage if he's still there at 9. Think about the Eagles two first round picks and their second round. They might just be desperate enough.

this trade would require mind-altering drugs for free in the eagles front office. no way the eagles will offer an additional 1st and 2nd, while the jaguars threw in 2 3rds and 4th to trade up from #26 to #8 in 08.

i don't want a.smith either. his work ethic was disastrous at both combine and pro day and i can't imagine it would increase with a huge pay check right in his hands.

Like I said, if they're desperate enough. Some guy called Ditka once traded an entire draft plus a first and third the next year for the 2nd pick overall. It's an extreme, but it can happen.

I do think you're right though, Both their first picks wouldn't be that crazy though, but it's a deep OT draft and Oher might be what they're looking for. Maybe actually getting McNabb a receiver, for as far as the Eagles actually want one.
