HH Community Mock Draft: Pick #9 - Green Bay Packers Select...

The Green Bay Packers take B.J. Raji. Tough to pass on Orakpo, but the Packers are switching to a 3-4 this year and they need an impact NT. You don't often get the chance to take the top-rated DT in the draft. Raji should be able to hold the point of attack, take up multiple blockers and get into the backfield. Aaron Kampman will be very happy.

San Francisco is on the clock at #10.

Good pick.

Hard to imagine Raji falls this far but if he does he’ll be a steal.

Take Raji over Orakpo.

Dominant/disruptive defensive tackles are tougher to find than good defensive ends.

Insert witty and/or humorous signature here.

Best player or Best player in position with most need

Taking Raji over Orakpo is tough, but it’s the right decision.
He’s the number one tackle on the board, and it’s the most need for Green bay
The Stupid pick, which makes no sense happend at 7
