I am on board with your thoughts on the Packers and taking risks with players having this sort of behavior. The Packers had Mixon in for a visit though and I think if he is there in the 2nd round, the Packers attempt everything possible to get him. Having him in for a visit is the only thing that makes me think this way.

How would Packers fans feel about this selection if it did happen?

The Athlon print edition has a little different bio but it is close to this one. In print they feel he will go in the 2nd or 3rd round.

3. Joe Mixon, Oklahoma
There’s no doubt about Mixon’s ability to play in the NFL, but his past could be the reason he isn’t an early-round draft pick.

On the field, Mixon is the complete package as he is an excellent runner, receiver and he can even contribute on special teams. Last season for Oklahoma, Mixon rushed for 1,274 yards and 10 touchdowns on 187 carries. He also chipped in 37 receptions for 538 yards and five more scores.

Mixon has exceptional vision and the patience to wait for his blockers to open the hole for him so he can burst through it. He doesn’t have breakaway speed to outrun defenders and ball security also is a concern.

But the biggest factor working against Mixon is history. In 2014, Mixon was redshirted after he was suspended for the season after striking a woman in a Norman, Oklahoma, restaurant. The woman suffered a broken jaw and cheek in the incident. Mixon was charged with a misdemeanor and had to complete community service but was not kicked off the team.

Because of Mixon's violent history, he was not invited to the scouting combine. Any player with a misdemeanor or felony conviction involving violence or use of a weapon, sexual offense or assault and domestic violence will not get an invitation to Indianapolis for the week-long event.

Mixon has first-round talent, but he was not invited to the Combine and it remains to be seen if he will be drafted at all given his history. Even if he goes undrafted, Mixon will end up in someone’s training camp and likely be on a roster this fall.

This just shows how deep the CB position is this year.

Still think Watt and Baker will go 1-2 in either way.

A trade is a very real possibility.

An NFL personnel man and a scout believe the Packers‘ No. 29 pick will be coveted among teams antsy to snag one a quarterback. “I think there’s going to be some action there at the end of the first round,” the scout said, via Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.  “With these quarterbacks, they need a five-year contract because they’re not ready. I think there will be a lot of movement coming up [into the first round]. With the depth of this draft at defensive end and safety and corner and tight end, I would be looking to trade down.” The personnel man added that the quarterbacks are going to “drive this draft.” With players like Mitch Trubisky, Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes expected to go before the Packers pick at 29, it’s conceivable talents like Davis Webb or DeShone Kizer could be coveted at the end of the round.

If only it wasn't McGinn who reported it first. 😲

I have a feeling... Teddy wants home town beast Ryan Ramczyk protecting Aaron.

But I think he will be gone by the Packer's pick.

Heretofore ladies........ your first overall pick in the Year Of Our Lord 2017... Is......

CB - Kevin King Washington.

And it will be one hell of a pick indeed in Packer Lore.

OLB Takkarist McKinley, UCLA

McKinley checks off almost all of Ted Thompson boxes... huge potential, not let fully developed, has some injuries, from the Pac-12, bonus points for being from UCLA... and at one of the top four most valuable positions on the field.

It'd take a CB that the Packers are very high on to over take McKinley... and there might be a few others, but if he's still on the board you know the Packers will probably consider McKinley.

Of course the Seahawks, Cowboys or Falcons (in a trade up) could take him... but I think Jerry Jones will some of that Watt/Texas love... and think Watt's potential might be high enough for his son to accept it.

Well....the REAL Ted came through with flying colors.
I really was hoping for TJ Watt.
Could have had him.
I watched the whole 1st round just for the Packer pick.
Won't get that three and a half hours of my life back!

It will be interesting to see what they do tomorrow... RB, OLB, DL, CB, OL.... or trade back AGAIN!

What? It's common for a few of the first couple of picks of the day to maybe trade back, and I read that Ted Thompson said he was listening to trade back offers for that #33 pick.
