Day one draft analysis

The Packers made two selections on day one. We knew about #9, but were also expected to pick at #41. Then the Packers traded up to #26 instead.

#9: B.J. Raji. Very nice pick. Expected. Some say he could be the next Warren Sapp. Ryan Pickett should bounce out to DE now.

#26: Clay Matthews. Another good fit. Should complement Kampman at OLB.

Both of these picks were value picks. Raji was rated #7 overall and Matthews #23.

No third rounders Sunday (as of now). Packers have a four, two fives, two sixes and a seven. Should start at 9AM CDT on ESPN.
