2011 NFL Mock Draft: Green Bay Packers Select Randall Cobb with Pick No. 32
2011 NFL Mock Draft: Green Bay Packers Add Depth at Receiver Drafting Randall Cobb
The Green Bay Packers are going to be looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions this year, and to be honest I don’t think they are that far off.
I think the perfect fit for the Packers at No. 32 would be Randall Cobb out of Kentucky.
The fact that the Packers can even get him that low in the draft is an absolute steal, and he could come in and make an immediate impact for Green Bay.
Cobb also has experience returning kicks, which would be a huge boost to the Packers inconsistent special teams.
Jim Polzin of Madison.com Sports has this to say about the Packers drafting a wide receiver.
Greg Jennings has posted three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and Jordy Nelson made a strong case for being a legitimate No. 2 receiver late in the season. After that, the team has some question marks. Donald Driver posted his lowest totals in receptions and receiving yards since 2001 and turned 36 in February. He could set the franchise record for receiving yards in 2011 and ride off into the sunset following the season. James Jones is a free agent and may draw a big offer from another team, making the Packers decide if the talented but inconsistent former third-round pick is worth the money. Brett Swain didn’t do much as a No. 5 receiver last season. Bottom line: Wide receiver is a need for the Packers, perhaps as early as the first round if they’re intrigued by Baldwin, Smith or Cobb
The obvious choice to me is Randall Cobb and I expect the Packers will draft him with the last pick of the first round.
