    That is a lot of muscle mass gained Bretsky, without much of a gain in height.
    Not saying he DIDN'T do roids, but its not out of the possibility to do it clean. I knew guys who were 6'4 185 that I got to 225 in 2 years without cheating. So to go 220 to 290 in 4 years isn't impossible. Its also a lot easier by being dirty for two 9 week cycles.

    Yeah, I shouldn't put him on blast like that. He wasn't all world in his first action with the Badgers, so it took some time. Its not like he did it all between 18 and 19.

    The true crime is probably what they do legally to beef these kids up.

    I do prefer red's regimen myself.

    The way you pour in the oil, I'm surprised you only gained 35 lbs!

    Thanks for posting this kid... absolutely loved his tape. I can easily see Hassan Reddick being a pro bowl player. Every snap of every game I watched of - he was the best player on the field.

    Don't think he'll be there be there at our 2nd pick, but would love to see Cunningham in the 1st and Reddick in the 2nd.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The write-ups I read of him have as an OLB, but I see him as being so versatile that I think he can play anywhere. Would never have to come off the field. Would immediately become the best LB on our roster.

    The question for this kid I think would be - do you spring for him in the 1st round??

    he did measure in a 6'3 and 200 and ran a 4.43 at the combine

    dude is shooting up draft boards, and i'm starting to see him projected to us in the first

    that size/speed combo is pretty damn impressive

    Everything on this kid I've seen has him going well before 29. If he fell that far I'd sprint to the podium. (Is that the first sprint to the podium comment made so far this off season?) I'm with you Wist, snatch this guy up if possible. Should be quality CB in the 2nd.

    There is no way that kid is an OLB for the Packers. Would have to play inside.

    Consider this a RINGING ENDORSEMENT from Bretsky

    He'd be a great draft pick for Green Bay and I'd be elated if he was there
    I just don't think he will be

    Haven't investigated too in-depth yet... first write up I saw him had him in 2nd-3rd round. Based on what I saw, I'd definitely have him in the 1st.

    Maybe TT can trade up?? One can dream...

    Would actually rather have reddick over Cunningham, but I like Cunningham over McKinley.

    I think Cunningham is intriguing. I don't know how big he is, but Deion Jones, Atlanta's 1st rounder last year, wasn't huge either and he was really fast and effective last year. I wouldn't be upset with a Cunningham/Reddick/Watt first round pick. If they aren't there i like McKinley. I agree it'll only be bc of his shoulder that he even makes it to 29. And I know you have issues with Clark but I'm cautiously optimistic. He's so young, I'll wait to draw my final conclusion on him just yet.

    NFL Network has him going at 27 currently

    Jones went in the 2nd round, pick 45... I wanted Jones last year too.

    Eliot Wolf came right out and said the Packers don't value ILB's much though - and the guys I always see plugged in there aren't even on TT/Dom's radar.

    I see Reddick as a more versatile Bobby Wagner type. He's listed as a DE/Edge rusher, but I'd start him in the middle and move him around... he'd be wasted in Dom's static 2-4.

    I don't think TT cares if they do PED's. Case in point would be Clay. There is no way that meathead got as big as he did in college without some chemical aids.

    When did Eliott Wolf say that ? I'd have to agree with Wolf...who is..of course...the guy I wan to be our current GM

    Again, not saying he didnt do roids, but getting to 265 at 6'3"doesn't take a miracle.

    Thanks for the assist Wist. I remember us talking about Jones as a first round possibility for GB, that's where my error occurred. In any case, that type of talent could surely help us.

    I recant my vote in the poll. I now think TT should draft two top CB's in the first two rounds. Shields is gone and our CB's last year sucked. From what I'm reading, maybe they can get Conley in the first and Witherspoon in the second. They both have speed and can cover.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Draft cornerbacks in the 1st 2 rounds. There's a foolproof strategy if there ever was one.

    If at first you don't succeed...
