Gerhart to the Vikings? I know they lost Chester Taylor in the offseason, but wow. I guess it’s a good thing for Peterson’s durability to have a solid replacement for breathers.

Well, from a fantasy perspective, Peterson’s value just dropped. Gerhart’s the perfect goalline back.

Bruce Campbell… Golden Tate… Vlad Ducasse. Morgan Burnett…

Damn, I can’t decide who I want for the Packers. Is Campbell’s upside worth passing on a rush linebacker or a safety? I like our WR crew, but Tate could be special.

I’m thinking I want them to trade down and see what happens.

Hell, Charles Brown is still there too. Damn.

I love Gerhart. Even more, I love how they’re all intentionally avoiding the race issue.

“Don’t stereotype this guy as a fullback because he a… big, strong guy…”

I love the fact they traded their 3rd rounder to move up. For a team that is so close to the Super Bowl, I’m surprised how they are handling the draft.

21 (53) Patriots - Jermaine Cunningham, LB, Florida

Somebody on Wikipedia is entering picks early. I hope their not just trolling.

I want a trade down. Go to the early 3rd and pick up a 4th round pick.

Son of a…!!! That means the Cowboys thought the Pack would take him.

TRADE!

23 (55) Cowboys - Sean Lee, LB, Penn State

Good pick. I wouldn’t want to face the Cowboys, really, if I could help it. I hate them, as any good 49er fan should.

There is a lot of value here for an OT. Brown, Ducasse, Campbell. Do the Packers dare to draft two OT in two consecutive rounds? Or will they reach for a position of need? This sure is fun.

24 (56) Packers - Mike Neal, DE, Purdue

I’ve heard good things about this guy. Solid pick, given that Neal is gone.

Yup, I guess we’ll just have to see what they are planning here, because this doesn’t really fit their scheme.

25 (57) Ravens - Terrence Cody, NT Alabama

Perfect, perfect match. He’ll help Ngata\* keep those scary LBs free.

\*: I really wanted Ngata back when he was drafted.

Seriously, does anyone remember a draft with this many head scratchers and WTF moments? This thing is putting the “mockery” into mock drafts.
