Green Bay holds an intriguing pick at number 12 that could go many different ways Womens Davante Adams Jersey , but finding a day-one playmaker is critical."Much has changed in one month as pro days have come and gone in preparation of the 2019 NFL Draft. And while not everything has changed since version one of my mock draft, the Green Bay Packers’ two selections have.Green Bay has a medley of routes it could go with both picks, especially its first. But the Packers have a unique opportunity with the 12th pick to draft a prospect with both a high ceiling and the ability to see the field right away. In version two of my mock draft, Green Bay was able to net two playmakers that could make a quick impression on the 2019 squad.Shawn’s Mock Draft, Version 2PickTeamPlayerPositionSchoolPreviousPickTeamPlayerPositionSchoolPreviousThe Packers are one team that holds a card early in the draft that could change the trajectory of the first round. Green Bay could opt for one of the draft’s top tight ends, one of the top edge rushers available, an upper-tier offensive lineman, or a rangy inside linebacker. Perhaps this year more than any other, the Packers’ selection is a mystery. If the draft falls the way I anticipated, Green Bay will be in a predicament of having to overdraft a player.However, Bush is an ascending commodity in recent weeks and could be a player that helps the Packers’ defense immediately with his speed and ability to cover the field on third down.Yes, Green Bay does go wide receiver in round one for the first time since Javon Walker in 2002. Again http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-aaron-rodgers-jersey , plenty of options exist for Green Bay including Dalton Risner, a versatile offensive lineman rising up my board, or even a safety like Chauncey Gardner-Johnson if available. But if Green Bay can add a receiver like AJ Brown, who could contribute in the slotwithout Randall Cobb in 2019 or line up outside, the team would really benefit. Brown is a more complete package at this point than his teammate D.K. Metcalf.Quarterbacks are a tricky proposition in the 2019 NFL Draft. I feel confident that Arizona, New York, and Denver would draft the players I’ve given them, but will the latter two teams have to trade up? And will Duke’s Daniel Jones sneak into the later portion of round one?One of my biggest risers since the last mock draft was Ed Oliver. Now that the cloud over the Houston disruptor has passed and his pro day has highlighted his athleticism, expect Oliver to jump into the top ten or even top five. If not, Green Bay could come calling at 12.Washington State’s Andre Dillard could be one of the draft’s biggest surprises depending on how individual teams rank the top offensive line prospects. Jawaan Taylor is the top tackle in my mock, but I would not be shocked to see Dillard’s name called first with his feet and quickness to stop edge rushers.Iowa’s two tight ends - Noah Fant and TJ Hockenson - stay where there were last time in pick-20 territory. However, there is a part of me that could see either player go much higher if certain teams see the right schematic fit. They make up two of the tougher players to predict this draft season. In a story Oct. 22 about the Carolina Panthers offense Womens Antonio Morrison Jersey , The Associated Press erroneously reported Cam Newton's ranking among active quarterbacks in fourth-quarter comebacks. He is 11th in fourth quarter comebacks among active quarterbacks, not first.A corrected version of the story is below:Panthers going to hurry-up offense? Not so fast, says RiveraPanthers coach Ron Rivera says team will continue to use no-huddle offense 鈥?in certain situationsBy STEVE REEDAP Sports WriterCHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) 鈥?Panthers quarterback Cam Newton loves playing in the no-huddle, hurry-up offense, calling it "our edge."Tight Greg Olsen believes Newton excels in an upbeat offense.But coach Ron Rivera pumped the breaks on the notion that the Panthers should shift to an up-tempo style offense for four quarters after erasing a 17-point fourth quarter deficit Sunday and stunning the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles 21-17.Rivera said Monday that while he is open to using the no-huddle more in certain situations moving forward, he quickly added "I don't think that is going to drive who we are as an offense."Panthers offensive coordinator Norv Turner went to the hurry-up offense in the fourth quarter to breathe some life into a listless offense that managed just seven first downs and no points through three quarters. Newton responded big time, completed 16 of 22 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns in the closing quarter, including the go-ahead score to Greg Olsen with 1:22 left.Newton has excelled in the no-huddle offense throughout most of his eight-year NFL career, seemingly liking the rhythm of a fast-paced attack.Many of those have come in the fourth quarter. Newton now has 15 career fourth quarter comebacks, 11th among active QBs and ahead of Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers.That's something that hasn't gone unnoticed."I think we're really good when we don't huddle," Olsen said. "... I think when we got into that tempo Womens Jamaal Williams Jersey , and just stayed on rhythm, stayed ahead of the chains, it allowed us to just kind of settle in a little bit and then we saw guys, all different guys, making plays."Newton said he feels like it gives the team an edge over the defense."And coach always says it, being in a hurry up doesn't mean rush, doesn't mean mayhem, it's just controlled tempo 鈥?and we are in control of that," Newton said.Newton isn't sure why it all clicked so well on Sunday."I have been doing it my whole career, to a degree," Newton said. "But we know in this league, given defensive wrinkles you see Womens Aaron Ripkowski Jersey , that's what it's all about, making mid-game adjustments."Rivera said there are plusses and minuses to running the no-huddle offense, but it would be impractical to use it all of the time.The Panthers host Baltimore and its physical defense on Sunday."Circumstances dictate a lot of things that happen more so than anything," Rivera said. "And there have been situations where we have come out and started the game in no-huddle and gone three-and-out, so I just think it is situational. (But) do we need to look at it? Most certainly."Rivera said the benefit is that it often prevents defenses from substituting players for obvious passing downs. And when it begins to click, Newton seems unstoppable at times.On the downside, Rivera said the no-huddle can cause unneeded stress on the defense when it's not working."If you go three-and-out, three-and-out and three-and-out, your defense is constantly out there," Rivera said. "So it can wear your defense out as well. It is mostly certainly a team thing and situational and by rhythm. I believe Norv has a good handle on it. I think what he did Sunday was right along the lines of trying to create energy. And he did that."NOTES: Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith has a sore knee, but said there is no structural damage after a late-game injury on Sunday.
