2006 Live DRAFT Thread

[Fosco33]

NFL Network reported that TT held out with Denver for a better 2nd round. Thank God he had some balls on this one.

[Bretsky]

what do you guys think about Sinorice Moss or Demetrius Williams as WR picks?

Williams would be a very very good fit here. Wish Moss dropped to us.

[Fosco33]

what do you guys think about Sinorice Moss or Demetrius Williams as WR picks?

Moss is a Giant.

a Giant midget... :D

ROTHFLMAO

[esoxx]

With the two picks in the 2nd, I like M. Williams WR Oregon and Youboty CB Ohio State. Wouldn't mind taking Pope TE Georgia either, huge target.

Hagens and Stovall might be something to watch for in the third. Spencer is also intriguing.

[Fritz]

Hey, if you don't like who TT picks next, don't worry...they'll be picking again...and again....and again.... very soon.

Go Ted!

[imscott72]

I think we have to grab Demetrius here with our 47th and maybe Chester with our 52nd..

[pacfan]

Hey, if you don't like who TT picks next, don't worry...they'll be picking again...and again....and again.... very soon.

Go Ted!


now thats funny.....

[No Mo Moss]

As I look at this list of players still availible, this is a really really deep draft.

[retailguy]

what do you guys think about Sinorice Moss or Demetrius Williams as WR picks?

Williams would be a very very good fit here. Wish Moss dropped to us.

Well, we definitely need a WR now.... Boerighter is not going to cut it. Ferguson HASN'T cut it, and Gardner is a risk. Looks a lot like last year at the moment. Driver.... then nobody.

[BF4MVP]

Wow I just looked at Demetrius Williams' profile on nfldraftcountdown..

I came away impressed..4.48 speed, 6'1 197..

Him or Stovall would work for me, but probably Williams more..

[Bretsky]

I think we have to grab Demetrius here with our 47th...

To me him or Yobuty are nice fits. But I do love Abdul Hodge

[OS PA]

Watch for Darnell Bing and Lendale White.

[Scott Campbell]

Can you imagine if they drafted L. White? People were talking about drafting him with our #5 pick.

[Rastak]

I love the fact that we can draft ahead of MN. Here in the twin cities they made a huge deal about having 2 seconds and now we get to draft ahead of them still and we get 3 3rd rders.Don't be shocked if they move ahead of GB to get Hodge.....it would only be a couple of spots....

Well they'd have to do it now with the titans. Also the Vikes are going QB with one of these 2 2nds.yea, most likely...although it isn't going to cost a second bto move up so they could still snag a QB.....should be interesting....

[Fritz]

Man, we are kicking everybody's ass in this division.

We have Hawk plus two seconds and three thirds. And we pick before Minnesota, who'd have to trade up quick and give up a pick to get ahead.

The more players you draft, the better your chances.

[motife]

let Tank be Tank.

[outflow]

Also the Vikes are going QB with one of these 2 2nds.

Most definantly.

[Tarlam!]

I don't think he'll trade out of number 47 or too far down from 52

[Rastak]

Man, we are kicking everybody's ass in this division.

We have Hawk plus two seconds and three thirds. And we pick before Minnesota, who'd have to trade up quick and give up a pick to get ahead.

The more players you draft, the better your chances.With all due respect you've made one pick, how can you say that?

I fed-ex'ed him some kool-aid... :mrgreen:

[RashanGary]

I think Thompson believes he is a better scout than most in the league and that he is going to get better players than he should get with each pick.

[OS PA]

LOL!

Vince Young handing off to Lendale White!

[CyclonePackFan]

OH MAN

Vince Young and LenDale White on the SAME TEAM?

[No Mo Moss]

I think he goes Defense, no WRs yet. Maybe a TE coming up for us. Pope maybe or Byrd.

[pacfan]

LanDale White, gone to Tenn.

[Scott Campbell]

With all due respect you've made one pick, how can you say that?


We've been saying that since before Texas signed Mario.

:lol:

[Bretsky]

Lendale White is off the board.

RASTAK, DON'T YOU GUYS DARE TAKE BRIAN CALHOUN !!!

[imscott72]

LOL @ Lendale..Hope it works out for em...He's a high risk, high reward type...Worth a shot.

[Fosco33]

Injured, drug-addict with some belly - oh well.

[Rastak]

Lendale goes to Titans.....

Lendale White is off the board.

We're on the clock.

WR?, DE?, G? I KNOW..... Punter. definitely. Just for Tank.

[Tarlam!]

We're on the clock.HUH?? St. Louis...

[RashanGary]

There is a ton of action...I hate being at work

[Murphy37]

WR, then o-line I say

[imscott72]

Demetrius!!!!! come on!!!

[esoxx]

LenDale White = Bam Morris

[imscott72]

WR, then o-line I say

I agree!! Demetrius then Chester!!!!

[Fosco33]

We're on the clock.HUH?? St. Louis...

You get to hear more at NFL Network. They handed the envelope and waited for a min before announcing the TE pick.

[No Mo Moss]

Somebody post who's left. Is Youbooty left?

[Deputy Nutz]

Packers are on the clock and I predict
they take either Ashton Youboty,
Eric Winston, Daryl Colledge,
or maybe a wide reciever.

[imscott72]

Yes..

[Murphy37]

The Green Bay Packers trade the 2nd round pick for 14 seventh rounders and a lifetime supply of Cheetos.

[RashanGary]

Who is daryl College?

[Fritz]

Man, we are kicking everybody's ass in this division.

We have Hawk plus two seconds and three thirds. And we pick before Minnesota, who'd have to trade up quick and give up a pick to get ahead.

The more players you draft, the better your chances.With all due respect you've made one pick, how can you say that?

I say that because it's statistically true that teams with more picks do better than those with fewer. Trading up to get that guy you just have to have does not work out often enough to warrant the risk.

I also trust TT's ability to find talent. Especially in the middle and later rounds.

Besides, you could logically argue that all this draft hou-ha is just that. We won't know how good any of the drafts are until about three years down the road. So I'm having fun with it, and I like TT's method much more than Shermy's. Those drafts were so disappointing.

[Rastak]

Somebody post who's left. Is Youbooty left?He is unfortunately....looks like the Vikes sat tight. Probably a good move....

[retailguy]

they take either Ashton Youboty,

Thanks for narrowing that down for us. Wow.

oh by the way they will take Youboty.

Yeah, it just came through. I am listening to the web radio and following NFL.COM. The radio announcers are still building up Lenndale....

[MateoInMex]

I like what this guy on NFL Network said.."You consistently see winning organizations going with character guys over talent."

It rings true.

[Deputy Nutz]

Do they trade again???

[esoxx]

I see Vikings picking QB Clemens from Oregon in this draft.

[RashanGary]

I just found him Nutz....Looks like a good zone OL.

[RashanGary]

I like Chris Kuper a little later.

[mngolf19]

I see Vikings picking QB Clemens from Oregon in this draft.

I agree Esoxx. With the 51st pick.

[CyclonePackFan]

The next member of the Green Bay Packers is:

Daryn Colledge

I thought that you thought they were taking one of 15 guys.... :lol:

[imscott72]

Daryn Colledge OT 6’5 298 Boise St.
By: Robert Davis

With Boise’s recent success, they have started to get more media attention. Now that people are paying attention to them, they see that the left tackle for the Broncos is as good as they come in college football. After redshirting as a freshman, Colledge moved into the starting lineup in 2002 at left tackle, and there has not been anyone else to start at that spot since then. He has started all 52 games during his career.

Daryn Colledge is one of the best left tackle prospects for this draft. He has excellent athleticism and can mirror rushers’ moves and keep them off his quarterback. He’s also plays with a lot of strength on the field, and can dominate at the point of attack. He’s the complete package as a tackle prospect. Colledge has also displayed excellent durability in college, starting every game he has played in.

Even though he plays with power, Colledge could stand to gain a few pounds. The bulk will help him better handle the wear and tear of a full season in the NFL. Of lesser concern is that he hasn’t faced many ends with the size to give him fits as a physical presence, and he’ll need to show the ability to handle guys his size.

This year’s offensive tackle pool is ridiculously deep. Outside of D'Brickashaw Ferguson, there is a very talented second tier of offensive lineman, and they could go in any order. Colledge falls into that group. He could hear his name called near the end of the first round, but shouldn't last long into the second if he does.

[pacfan]

The next member of the Green Bay Packers is:

Daryn Colledge

a tackle?

[Deputy Nutz]

I called that one boys

[RashanGary]

Wow....Good call........

[CyclonePackFan]

8. Daryn Colledge, Boise State (6-4 3/8, 299; 5.05)
Colledge had a complete workout at the Combine. He ran 5.05 in the 40 twice, had a 32½-inch vertical jump, a 9-foot-2 broad jump, 4.63 short shuttle, 7.40 three-cone drill and did 21 lifts. He played high school football in Alaska and also lettered in baseball and track (shot-put). He redshirted in 2001 then started 52 games in a row at left tackle and did not allow a sack after his freshman year. He has long arms (33 inches), but not sure how much more he can weigh above 305. Had a good week at the Senior Bowl on the field. He wasn't so good in the interviews with teams. Like most offensive linemen, he needs to get stronger.

[Deputy Nutz]

Good pick. Tackle that we are going to play at guard.

Good head on his shoulders.

[Sparkey]

Strengths:
Has a good frame and should be able to add some weight...Is a brilliant pass blocker...Very technically sound...An excellent athlete with great quickness who moves extremely well...Has a nasty demeanor on the field and plays to the whistle...Hard worker who wants to be great...Strong and Explosive...Is a stud in the weight room...Has a lot of experience and consistently grades out very well...Mature with top intangibles...Versatile and can play multiple positions.

Weaknesses:
Needs to add some weight and continue to bulk up for the next level...Must improve as a run blocker...Struggles with massive defenders and can get pushed back...Is still developing and not yet a finished product...Doesn't always play with proper leverage and knee bend...Did not always play against elite competition.

Notes:
Lightly regarded recruit from North Pole, Alaska who entered college at 235 lbs...Very raw coming out of high school and did not play football as a sophomore or junior...Started every game of his college career...Has the physical tools and natural ability to play the critical left tackle position in the pros which is coveted.

[Rastak]

whew, no hodge.......lemme find this guy on sporting news, he wasn't listed on the top 5....

[OS PA]

He will be a guard.

[MadtownPacker]

Colledge??? Hmm someone tell me about him???I dont know about him but Boise State had a killer offense the last couple of years.

[Murphy37]

OT- Am I drunk, or did I just see on the bottom line that the Brewers beat the Cubs 16 to 2?

[CyclonePackFan]

NFL.com has him at the 8th tackle. At 299 lbs, he'll play guard for us.

[packrulz]

No, St. Lou just took Klopfenstein

[mngolf19]

whew, no hodge.......lemme find this guy on sporting news, he wasn't listed on the top 5....

Vikes take him with #83

[Scott Campbell]

Good pick. Tackle that we are going to play at guard.

Good head on his shoulders.

Settle down Miss Cleo. You missed on Reggie Bush.

[Bretsky]

Good pick. Tackle that we are going to play at guard.

Has he played OG before ?

[Rastak]

Daryn Colledge
T, Boise State

War Room analysis
Strengths: Is a powerful, explosive athlete. Has the strong upper body, quick feet, balance and knee bend to excel in pass protection. Takes good angles and uses speed and reach to execute blocks downfield. Shows superb technique; always is in great position. Shows all the intangibles: Plays with a mean streak, plays hard to the whistle and has a great work ethic. Leads well on the line.

Weaknesses: Must bulk up to hold up against larger NFL defensive linemen. Needs bigger body to add strength, leverage and anchor, and to keep from getting overpowered. Doesn't create a new line of scrimmage. Level of competition is an issue.

Bottom line: Colledge is a small-school prospect without much football experience. He is raw but shows the potential that gets NFL offensive line coaches excited. In college, he showed steady improvement as a pass protector and tough run blocker. With his showing in postseason workouts, Colledge can be a late-Day 1 pick.

Dan Pompei analysis
Is an athletic prospect with quickness, balance and flexibility to play left tackle. Slides well with pass rushers. Is solid against speed rushers. Takes good angles to defenders, and uses good technique. Is patient. Lacks ideal bulk, and doesn't knock defenders off the ball. Can wall-off defenders, and reach linebackers on the second level. Has not faced a steady diet of top pass rushers.
No. 5 on Pompei's OT rankings

[imscott72]

OT- Am I drunk, or did I just see on the bottom line that the Brewers beat the Cubs 16 to 2?

It's true. Prince had 2 bombs..6 total homers...They teed off....

[Fritz]

There's somebody on this board - and I don't remember who - who has been calling for the Pack to draft this guy.

He's an offensive tackle, but do I assume that they'll move him to guard?

A guy from Boise State. Dang.

But like I said, if you don't like that pick, not to worry...they'll be on the clock again pretty soon. Now we can grab a wide receiver or maybe Abdul Hodge if he's still there.

[Tony Oday]

Ok NOW take Stovall :)

[retailguy]

Good pick. Tackle that we are going to play at guard.

Boise St ran a hybrid offense that featured a lot of pulling and movement by the linemen. Seems to me like Packers may try and move him to guard. just my guess.

[Homer Jay]

Rivals.com says Colledge is one of the top prospects at tackle and can play guard too. They say he can start at guard now.

[Tarlam!]

Daryn Colledge | Offensive Tackle | Boise State | 6'4" - 299 lbs.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

if thompson doesnt take a WR with the #52, he deserves to be fired right on the spot.

[Rastak]

Vikes take a CB......


Cedric Griffin
CB, Texas

War Room analysis
Strengths: Is physical and aggressive. Is solid in zone coverage. Uses his height and long arms to break up passes. Has the upper-body strength to overwhelm receivers at the line of scrimmage. Has a nice burst out of backpedal. Shows excellent tackling skills. Is versatile; can play safety or cornerback. Shows good instincts. Is reliable on special teams.

Weaknesses: Plays a bit high, and gets caught out of position. Lacks ideal speed and quickness. Can look stiff in transition. Must improve ball skills. Has the height to reach passes, but doesn't make game-changing plays. Lacks great change-of-direction skills. Can struggle in man-to-man coverage.

Bottom line: Griffin is a physical and aggressive presence. His ability to play any position in the secondary improves his draft stock. Pencil Griffin in as a late-Day 1 selection.

Dan Pompei analysis
Is big and aggressive. Gets a nice break on the ball. Shows good range. Is good in press coverage, and has cover-2 capabilities. Is tough, and will rock the ball carrier. Is a solid tackler. Shows so-so instincts. Could move to safety. Is a little stiff in hip movements, and could struggle to cover quick receivers man-to-man.
No. 8 on Pompei's CB rankings

[Anti-Polar Bear]

shitttt the viking drafte griffen!

[Deputy Nutz]

I think Giffith is just a hard nose football player. He ain't gonna suprise you with his athleticsm, but he will know his assignment

[Scott Campbell]

Re: "Resides in North Pole, Alaska."

Boy, you just can't make stuff like this up.

[CyclonePackFan]

I like our pick. "One of the fastest OL in college football" That's what you need to be a good guard. Speed and the ability to pull. The other good thing is that he doesn't have much experience. If he's this good when not playing for long, it means he has a lot of room to grow with coaching.

[Bretsky]

if thompson doesnt take a WR with the #52, he deserves to be fired right on the spot.

He should go LB/D with 52 if best available. There will be WR's in round three.

[retailguy]

if thompson doesnt take a WR with the #52, he deserves to be fired right on the spot.

Maybe ColdPlay can pick him up as a band manager?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

for thpse who doesnt know, griffen is the "player distined for greatness" according to me.

If we were drafting OG I'm surrpised we didn't draft Chris Chester from Oklahoma

"Lightly regarded recruit from North Pole, Alaska"

How can you not like this guy? He's from the frickin' North Pole, man. Bet he won't need shirtsleeves in January.

[Bossman641]

If I remember right Tank wanted Griffin really bad. First Greenway and now Griffin, maybe Tank should just become a Viking fan.

I don't see Tank sending roses to TT anytime soon.

[Fritz]

Driver was a seventh rounder.

[Tony Oday]

I still want Stovall!!

Though I do want to see some more defense!

[retailguy]

if thompson doesnt take a WR with the #52, he deserves to be fired right on the spot.

He should go LB/D with 52 if best available. There will be WR's in round three.

Hell. Donald Driver was a 6th rounder

7th...

[Deputy Nutz]

I would like to see the Packers hold off on reciever, and wait till the third round and select Hank Baskett JR from New Mexico.

[Rastak]

"Lightly regarded recruit from North Pole, Alaska"

How can you not like this guy? He's from the frickin' North Pole, man. Bet he won't need shirtsleeves in January.Man no shit Fritz, I'm with ya...

[OS PA]

I like our pick. "One of the fastest OL in college football" That's what you need to be a good guard. Speed and the ability to pull. The other good thing is that he doesn't have much experience. If he's this good when not playing for long, it means he has a lot of room to grow with coaching.

If we were drafting OG I'm surrpised we didn't draft Chris Chester from Oklahoma

Watch for Chester with our 2nd 2nd, then Williams, Nance, Hass, or Stovall, and Eslinger.

I think we're doing well solidifying Favre's ass =).

Packers pick Colledge

The Packers selected offensive lineman Daryn Colledge with the first of their two second-round draft picks. Colledge stands 6-foot-4 1/2, weighs 301 pounds and runs the 40-yard dash in 5.05 seconds. He was a four-year starter at left tackle for Boise State, but has been projected as a guard by at least some teams. He's a native of North Pole, Alaska.

[Fritz]

Let me be the first to state the obvious: the nickname ought to be Darryl "I went to" Colledge.

Or maybe Darryl "I can't spell" Colledge.

ESPN sucks. They talk over picks. Who gives a crap about Ernie Accorsi about to retire when the Pack is on the board? Cut him off and let Gene Washington announce the pick.

They're also saying Darryl "I can't spell" Colledge needs to gain some weight and get stronger. Maybe he can get in touch with Barry Bonds.

Daryn Colledge
OT | (6'4", 299, 5.04) | BOISE STATE

Scouts Grade: 79 Selected by: Green Bay Packers
Round: 2
Pick (Overall): 15(47)
(OT) Daryn Colledge - BOISE STATEStrengths: Is an impressive athlete. Has quick feet, great speed and is fluid. He lacks massive bulk and base, but he is a powerful player. He is a workout warrior in the weight room. Shows explosive pop. Has a powerful upper body and can jar defenders initially with his hand punch. He shows a quick set in pass pro. Is technically sound; uses good footwork, balance and hand placement. Is a natural knee bender and rarely is off-balance. Does not need to over-extend to reach the corner vs. speed rusher and he shows the consistent ability to redirect vs. the double move. Impressive lateral movement skills. Fires off the LOS with good leverage as a run blocker. Takes good angles and has great mobility as a reach and downfield blocker. Typically is in great position. Is a fist fighter type, who uses feet, technique and power to make up for what he lacks in size. He's a hard worker with a mean streak. Will fight to finish and plays hard to the whistle.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal size. Has just decent height and marginal bulk. Has a narrow base. Is powerful but lacks the mass and brute strength to engulf defenders at the POA. He won't create a new LOS in the running game. He needs to play with great leverage in order to anchor vs. the bull rush and he still will get overpowered by bigger, stronger DL in the NFL. He has not played against elite DI-A competition and must prove himself in the post-season.

Overall: Colledge enrolled at Boise State in January of 2001 and participated in spring drills. He redshirted during the 2001 season before taking over as a fulltime starter at left tackle in 2002. He started all 13 games as a redshirt freshman in 2002 and all 14 games as a sophomore in 2003. As a junior in 2004, Colledge was named first-team All-WAC while starting every game at left tackle for the Broncos. He started every game at left tackle as a senior in 2005, as well. Colledge is one of the most underrated offensive line prospects in the 2006 draft class. He lacks ideal bulk and lower body strength. He also needs to play with more consistent leverage in order to anchor versus powerful bull rushers in the NFL. However, Colledge is a terrific athlete with explosive power and the mean streak to match. He is one of the best pure pass protectors in the country and he also is a fist-fighting run blocker who great positioning, toughness and upper body power to make up for what he lacks in bulk and lower body strength. If Colledge proves himself at the combine and in a post-season all-star game, he will solidify his status as a late-Day 1 prospect in the 2006 draft.

Colledge on North Pole

Daryn Colledge, the Packers' first of two second-round draft picks, said that his hometown of North Pole, Alaska, had a population of about 1,400 and was a rural community. He said most of the residents worked in nearby Fairbanks.

"It's all about Santa Claus and the North Pole scene," said Colledge.

Okay, I'm on my second glass of wine and the Pack has had two picks. At this rate, if TT keeps trading down I'm going to be wasted by the time we hit the fourth round.

I would love it if the Pack would pick up Pope or Hodge next. Keep it coming, TT.

i bet you will find that the odds of sucess for 6th rd recievers arent good. Driver was a find, but Pack got lucky.

I wasn't suggesting that we wait for the 6th and 7th rounds to take a WR. I'd actually like to see us take one now, even Driver needed 2 or 3 years to develop. I was merely pointing out it is possible to find a good receiver deep in the draft. HIGHLY unlikely, as you pointed out, but nonetheless possible. I did look for the hell of it, and the only other two WR's in the 7th round I found that I ever even heard about are David Givens and T.J. Houshmanzadeh

Top Tackle Interview

By Patriots Insider Staff

Date: Feb 21, 2006

Tackles in the NFL, especially on the left side, are the most valued of all linemen and for good reason. A left tackle protects the quarterback's blind side, and is expected to do so many times without help. It's also one reason they're so valuable. Losing a starting LT -- as the Patriots did in 2005 -- can disrupt an offense or force it to be more conservative. One little known tackle from Alaska is drawing plenty of interest from NFL teams. The Patriots can quietly hope he falls to them at 21.


Boise State offensive tackle Daryn Colledge isn't your typical lineman. He is built more like a linebacker but believes that gives him an advantage heading into the NFL as he can block at the point of attack with his strength and still get to the second level effectively with his speed.

They don't come much tougher than Daryn Colledge. He grew up in North Pole, Alaska right outside Fairbanks before heading to Boise State where he played in every game during his collegiate career.

Colledge had scouts scurrying to his side at the Senior Bowl with representatives from the Green Bay Packers, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, San Diego Chargers, Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos among the teams showing the most interest.

Scouts believe he has upside potential and is still raw after not playing much in high school. With an athletic body built for power and speed, Colledge represents many of the characteristics line coaches rave about. Strong at the point of attack and quick on his feet, he was able to use his body to fend off defenders' bull rushes and speed moves.

The Boise State lineman turned in a solid performance in Mobile as a member of the North's team. He handled the South team's outstanding pass rushers, including Elvis Dumervil of Louisville, Mark Anderson of Alabama and Manny Lawson of North Carolina State. Colledge proved why he would be chosen early in April's NFL Draft.

The Patriots aren't exactly looking for a new left tackle in the Draft, but a player with the attributes of Colledge's would make them think twice before passing him by. Having already shown interest in a number of offensive tackles ranked slightly ahead and behind the Alaska native, including Marcus McNeill and Ryan O'Callaghan, it's easy to see how New England could be interested in acquiring his services.

Matt Light is expected to make a full recovery from a broken leg to man the left tackle position in 2006 for the Patriots, but a number of other positions may open up on the right side. Adding Colledge would not only give New England a talented blocker who's athletic enough to pass protect well and drive defenders off the ball, but it might fill some potential holes caused by free agency. Free-agents-to-be, guard Stephen Neal and tackle Tom Ashworth, are yet to be resigned. Both were given one-year tenders last year and it's not yet clear if the team will retain their services.

Colledge spoke to our Scout.com's Denis Savage on a number of topics, including his ability to pass block, run block on the second level, his maturity and more.

[Deputy Nutz]

Short arms on Winston and that knee might still be a problem.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

this just hit me in the head: why not draft Bradan williams with the #52?

Underrated OL Visits Dallas

By: Roy Philpott
TheRanchReport.com
Date: Apr 24, 2006

TheRanchReport.com brings you the latest on one of the last visitors to Dallas before the 2006 NFL Draft.

As first reported on TheRanchReport.com Premium Message Board more than 10 days ago, the Dallas Cowboys recently had Boise State offensive lineman Daryn Colledge in for a visit to Valley Ranch.

Colledge, who stands in at over 6-feet-4 inches tall, but weighs only 298 pounds, isn't your typical lineman. He is built more like a linebacker but he believes that gives him an advantage heading into the NFL as he can block at the point of attack with his strength and still get to the second level effectively with his speed.

"I think I'm a rare combination of size and speed on the offensive line," he said in a recent interview with Scout.com. "I think people will be surprised after they see me bury a defensive lineman, then I'm running in the secondary taking on safeties, corners and outside linebackers ... I'll be running those guys down."

As far as his size goes, College says he could easily add more weight, or even lose some if needed.

"It depends on where I end up," he said. "Obviously with my frame I can put on 15 pounds if that's what they want or scale down another five pounds."

Despite his size, they don't come much tougher. College grew up in North Pole, Alaska right outside Fairbanks before heading to Boise State where he played in every game during his collegiate career and was a team captain in each of his last two seasons.

Another impressive stat of this Boise State lineman is the number of consecutive starts he made in college- 52 in all.

"I'm extremely healthy," he said. "I've never had a major injury. I've been blessed. I've taken care of my body as best as I can and I have good nutrition."

Scout.com currently ranks College the No. 5 overall offensive tackle prospect available in the 2006 NFL Draft.

Travels to Green Bay
by Todd Korth of PackerReport.com, April 4, 2006 at 12:50pm ET

Daryn Colledge Profile

Offensive tackle Daryn Colledge recently made a visit to Green Bay to meet with the Packers. Colledge is one of the top-rated linemen available in the upcoming NFL draft.
The Packers are seeking to build depth at tackle behind veterans Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher.

[Fritz]

"I loved watching the Lizard bobble that toothpick in his mouth like he was giving someone a tongue bath! 16-2!"

You're hilarious, Mateo.

Methinks we passed on Winston because Daryn "I went to" Colledge is a better guard prospect. But it'll take a couple years.

[CyclonePackFan]

#52 seems to be a good place for Badger WR's, some guy named Chris Chambers was taken there.

[imscott72]

Vikes take Ryan Cook over Chester? Wow...I had Cook somewhere inthe 4th or 5th rounds!!

Vikings take a center? WHY?

Plus as somebody noted earlier, Winston is not a Packer guy. This new guy is and from his pic, our EC girls will be delighted!

[Rastak]

Ryan Cook
C, New Mexico

War Room analysis
Strengths: Has great size and upper-body strength. Uses long arms to control defensive linemen in pass protection. Has enough speed and strength to stop speed rushers, Uses strong upper body to thwart bull rushers. Shows good leadership skills.

Weaknesses: Bends too much at the waist; doesn't consistently maintain leverage. Lacks ideal lower-body strength. Doesn't move well in open field. Struggles to hold ground against bull rushers. Must improve at reading stunts and blitzes.

Bottom line: Cook has great experience and has shown steady improvement in playing with his massive frame but still has a way to go. His size and potential should be enough to get him selected early in Round 4.

Dan Pompei analysis
Can play all five spots on the line. Is a big prospect with average footwork. Does OK against speed rushers. Must improve strength. Uses hands well. No. 3 on Pompei's C rankings

Senior Bowl practice report 1/27/06

Daryn Colledge OL Boise State 6040 295 9 3/8 32 3/4
Weigh-In Notes: Needs upper body work...flat chest.

Monday Practice Notes: Looked fundamentally very sound. Stopped Kiwanuka dead in his tracks during one pass blocking drill. Patient and intelligent. Used his hands very well.
Tuesday Practice Notes: Problems throughout the day began and ended with his poor hand work. Now he does possess a quick punch, but it is all over the place. It appears he does not quite grasp what his aiming point should be. There were times when he was beat clean because he never landed or was completely wide on his punch. At one point the coaching staff tried to correct the problem by having Colledge use a “flashâà ¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚ punch (meaning he automatically shot the hands off the snap whether he needed to or not).
Wednesday Practice Notes: Continues to show sloppy handwork. He wrestles defenders more than he initiates a proper punch. Saw some action at guard today. Had some problems in pass recognition during a defensive line stunt drill. Titans coaching staff feels Colledge is athletic enough to man one of the wings on the back wedge of the kick off.
Thursday Practice Notes: Possesses quick feet. His hand play improved overall today, but still winds up to much on his initial punch.
Analysis: Entered this week with the potential to really solidify himself as top prospect from a small school. Showed athleticism and quick feet to keep himself in the first day mix but needs tremendous amounts of work with his hand technique at the next level. At times Colledge looked like a pterodactyl winding up to take his punch, more often than not, missing his aiming point.

NFL Draft - 15:00 first, 10:00 2nd, What's the time given to pick in the third?

5:00

I've never had the attention span to watch the 2nd, do they air the third?

Does this mean they get thirty seconds to pick in the seventh round?

Good point above, about Minny parlaying Daunte Culpepper into a . . . center rated for the third or fourth round.

[retailguy]

Is Rastak still alive after that pick?


somewhat......


Stunned.... but alive. Kinda like I felt after the Sander pick. :mrgreen:

And I like sander. but still stunned.

[Rastak]

Apparently Minny needs a center. I don't like that pick for the vikings. Gasping at prospects


Very odd......I have no idea where that came from....GB takes a tackle from the north pole and minney takes a center with Hodge on the board.....


wtf.....


:shock:

No worries man, like I said earlier, we'll have a chance at Hodge with #83Yea, but they need a QB also.....

[OS PA]

WOOT!
Greg Jennings!

[CyclonePackFan]

The next Green Bay Packer is:

Greg Jennings, WR, Western Mich.

[imscott72]

Pick # 52 is Greg Jennings?? Shit no Demetrius...

[Fosco33]

Jennings WR - give me the scoop!

[CyclonePackFan]

5. Greg Jennings, Western Michigan (5-11 1/8, 197; 4.46)
Jennings had a complete workout at the Combine. He ran two 40s in 4.42 and 4.50. He had a 36½-inch vertical jump, a 9-foot-9 long jump, and a 4.16 short shuttle and a 6.68 three-cone drill. He was a three-sports star in high school (football, basketball and track). He redshirted in 2001 after suffering an ankle injury in the opening game and missed the next four games. He did a good job of returning kicks in 2002. He caught 228 passes and 39 TDs over the next three years. He shows good quickness and has very good hands. He had some big games against big schools. He has a good touch and will catch the ball up the middle, but he's not much of a blocker. He looked good at the East-West game. The big question however, is can he do it at the next level. He's most like a No. 2 receiver.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

wtf!

[Deputy Nutz]

Greg Jennings was a sleeper in this draft. Don't panick people. I know Harvey liked him alot.

[CyclonePackFan]

Pick # 52 is Greg Jennings?? Shit no Demetrius...

NFL.com actually has Jennings ahead of Demetrius

[Fritz]

From the practice notes above, sounds like the guy needs boxing lessons. Maybe he can borrow Ahmad Carroll's gloves...

This does not look like "The best player available, regardless of position", does it??

Sweet Top 3 return guy

[imscott72]

Who is Greg Jennings? ... 2003 was a breakout year for the MAC with several big seasons from rising programs and star players. In the shadow of performances by Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, Ben Roethlisberger and Josh Harris was a great under-the-radar season by Western Michigan receiver Greg Jennings.

Western Michigan has had some good offensive talent over the years and some decent receivers like Steve Neal and Corey Alston, but it never had a frightening game-breaker like Jennings. After destroying the scout team in 2001, he didn't bust out out in his redshirt freshman season only catching ten passes for 138 yards without a touchdown. Part of the problem was an inconsistent running game not allowing much of a passing attack, but the bigger problem was lousy quarterbacking. 2003 was a different story.

The Broncos only won five games in 2003 hurt by more problems with the running game and little to no defense whatsoever, but the passing game wasn't an issue as Chad Munson and Jon Drach each played like seasoned veterans combining for 3,622 yards and 31 touchdowns. Kendrick Mosley had a strong season as the short-to-medium range receiver, while Jennings destroyed teams with his deep play ability averaging 18.8 yards per catch with 14 touchdowns.
Jennings' best game so far was ... against Central Michigan on November 15th of last year. The Chippewa secondary might as well have not been on the field as Drach threw for 348 yards and five touchdowns. Jennings was unstoppable catching eight passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns highlighted by a 94-yard scoring strike in the third quarter. The Broncos won 44-21.

Why you should care about Greg Jennings ... Jennings is a big receiver with tremendous deep speed. It'll take a little while for him to produce like he did last year as Blayne Baggett (or whatever quarterback takes over) takes time to get his feet wet. There's no question the Broncos will be bombing away again, and Jennings should put up more impressive numbers striking from anywhere on the field. MAC teams, along with Illinois, will make stopping Jennings priority one. He's also a dangerous kickoff returner with four games of over 100 return yards.

Positives about Jennings ... At 6-1 and 190 pounds, he's big enough to attract the eye of the NFL scouts, but it's his separation speed on deep plays that'll get everyone excited. Jennings can make the medium range catches even though his specialty is the home run. He was able to produce against some decent teams going for 107 yards and two touchdowns against Michigan State and 164 yards and a score against UConn, but ...

Negatives about Jennings ... ... he can be taken out of games by good pass defenses. Bowling Green, Northern Illinois, Marshall and Toledo all but shut him down. He wasn't necessarily inconsistent in 2003, but he needs to prove he can produce for two years in a row. Was he a great player that made the Bronco offense strong, or was he the beneficiary of senior quarterbacks that knew what they were doing?

Cool things about Jennings that you probably didn't know ... He was an all-conference high school performer in football, basketball and track at Kalamazoo Central. ... Jennings was an all-star track star.

Career statistics
2003: 56 catches for 1,050 yards and 14 touchdowns. 31 kickoff returns for 669 yards
2002: 10 catches for 138 yards. 8 kickoff returns for 232 yards

[Rastak]

For GB....



Greg Jennings
WR, Western Michigan

War Room analysis
Strengths: Is a productive receiver and punt returner. Has deceptive speed; does not get caught from behind. Runs crisp routes; gets in and out of cuts without gearing down. Shows good vision and recognition skills and makes tacklers miss in the open field.

Weaknesses: Lacks elite physical qualities. Shows below-average size and strength. Hasn't faced much elite competition. Will struggle to combat jams by physical NFL cornerbacks and lacks the speed to separate on downfield routes. Unlikely to transfer punt return skills to the next level.

Bottom line: Jennings was a productive college player who will become a special teams contributor in the NFL. He has enough ability to compete for a subpackage receiver position, but he will have to outwork everyone. He silenced some critics with a big performance against Virginia in '05. With impressive predraft workouts, Jennings could be selected in the beginning of the seventh round.

Dan Pompei analysis
Gifted, has deep ball ability. Speed/size ratio is excellent. Is a fluid athlete with good play strength. Has the body control and discipline to run excellent routes. Gets yards after the catch. Hands are dependable. Has excellent intangibles. Was very productive, but level of competition must be factored into the equation. Stock is up.
No. 5 on Pompei's WR rankings

[Sparkey]

Strengths:
Was extremely productive throughout his career...Runs excellent routes...Has great hands and good ball skills...Is not afraid to go across the middle...Can create after the catch and came through with a lot of big plays...Has some special teams potential...Smart and a hard worker...Tremendous character & intangibles.

Weaknesses:
Has only average size and a frail frame...Lacks elite timed speed and is more quick than fast...Is not much of a deep threat and won't stretch the field...Will struggle with physical corners and needs to get stronger...Is not much of a blocker due to his size...Didn't play top competition on a weekly basis...Upside?

Notes:
The type who doesn't have all the physical tools you look for but at a certain point you can't ignore the production...Not the prospect his press clippings would lead you to believe...Could make his mark as a #3 or possession receiver in the pros.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

does thompson know how to evaluate talant or what? brandon williams is clearly a better player than jenning.

:shock:

No worries man, like I said earlier, we'll have a chance at Hodge with #83Yea, but they need a QB also.....

I have a feeling their next highest rated QB is either Jacobs or Jackson, and they don't want to draft them before late 3rd early 4th.

Strengths: He has dominated his level of play as a go-to-receiver and punt return specialist. He is quicker than fast but also possesses good top-end speed. Shows a little bit of a second gear when he hits daylight. He shows excellent body control, balance and COD skills. Is a sharp route runner who gets in and out of his breaks very quickly. Knows how to separate and also has a very good feel for finding soft spots in zone. He's a threat after the catch. Shows some "wiggle" in space and will make defenders miss. Also has very good vision as a runner and will make the right cut at the right time.

Weaknesses: Lack of ideal NFL "measurables" will cost him on draft day. He has below-average height and bulk. He lacks ideal strength. He doesn't show the leaping ability or size to make many plays vertically in the passing game at the NFL level. He will have more trouble getting off the LOS and will get pushed around by bigger DB's. He also must prove that he has the speed and elusiveness to transfer his punt return production to the NFL.

Overall: Jennings is a three-year starter who also contributed as a true freshman at Western Michigan in 2002 but missed four games that season with a broken ankle. In three seasons prior to his senior year in 2005, Jennings notched 2,280 career receiving yards and 25 touchdowns. As a junior in 2004, Jennings finished with 74 receptions for 1,092 yards and 11 TDs. Jennings also averaged an impressive 14.8 yards per punt return, including two scores. Jennings was one of the most productive wide receivers in the nation as a senior in 2005 when he finished with 1,259 yards and 14 TDs on 98 receptions. Jennings doesn't fit the ideal mold for an NFL receiver and he did not play against top DI-A competition -- for the most part -- while playing at Western Michigan. However, Jennings has enough size, speed and quickness to develop into a No. 2 or No. 3 receiver in the NFL. He has exceptional instincts as a receiver and he is a tough competitor. Helping to ease doubts about his ability to play at the next level was Jennings' 16-catch performance versus Virginia as a senior in 2005. Jennings also is a fine special team's player who has shown a lot of upside as a punt return specialist. After a strong showing in the post-season (E-W Shrine game and combine), Jennings is fast-rising and could come off the 2006 draft board as early as the third round.

Dominant receiver at Western Michigan who will need to continue to improve to get receiving opportunities in the NFL. Great work ethic and sharp route runner who moves well with the ball. Slender frame may cause concern about long-term durability. Not a consistent deep threat.

Irving spouted off some stupid shit about Brett not being sharp this year because he waited so long to decide if he was going to play or not. What a dumbass. He continues to embarass himself and ESPN on a daily basis..

[Fosco33]

edit

What did he say? I am watching NFL Network and they tend to carry themselves like professionals.

Basically they talked about the Packers draft and Brett returning. Irving said that since Brett took so long to make a decision that its gonna affect him next year. They all were kinda shocked that he returned. But next Fall, they'll be screaming his name again. Wimps.

[Fritz]

"At 6-1 and 190 pounds, he's big enough to attract the eye of the NFL"

I'm a little concerned that the dude shrunk between college and the draft...They're listing him at 5'11" on ESPN. By the time he's in his second year with Green Bay he'll be 5'6".

Okay...I'm kind of going WTF? I just hope TT knows what he's doing. Seems like there are better prospects out there than this guy. Kiper likes him, but so what?

Back to my motto: Trust TT.

Prospect Profile: Greg Jennings

By: TFY Draft Preview

Date: Mar 17, 2006

.


Full Name: Greg Jennings School: Western Michigan Pos: WR

Ht: 5-11 Wt: 197 40: 4.48 Year: 5Sr

Bio: Three-year starter awarded All-Conference honors every season since his sophomore campaign and led the team in receiving each year. Senior totals were 98/1,259/14 after 74/1,092/11 as a junior. Handled both punt and kick returns duties.

Pos: Sure-handed, quick receiver with outstanding work ethic. Fast off the line, sharp running routes and gets separation from opponents. Consistently makes himself an available target and extends to grab the ball away from his frame. Quickly transitions up the field after the catch and elusive handling the ball. Displays soft hands and uses his frame to shield away opponents.

Neg: Needs to improve his blocking. Not a true downfield threat. Has a thin build and does not present himself as a sturdy receiver.

Analysis: Ultra-productive the past three seasons, Jennings is a solid wideout who’s continually improved his game. Offers potential as a No. 3 receiver at the next level.

Greg Jennings | Wide Receiver | Western Michigan | 5'11" - 192 lbs.

OVERVIEW
Despite becoming only the eleventh player in NCAA Division 1-A history to gain over 1,000 yards receiving three times in a career, this versatile athlete toiled in relative anonymity throughout his collegiate career. Still, when you look at his production as a Bronco, you can see that he ranks with the nation's elite.

Greg was an All-Big Eight Conference selection during his senior season Kalamazoo Central High School. He earned All-State second-team honors as a junior and was listed eleventh on the Detroit Free Press "Fabulous 50" rankings. Jennings also garnered All-Conference honors in three sports: football, basketball and track. The big-play receiver also competed on the school's 4x100-meter relay team that made it to the state finals.

Jennings redshirted as a freshman in 2001 at Western Michigan. He missed four games in 2002 due to a broken bone in his left ankle. In eight games that year, he caught ten passes for 138 yards, gained 15 yards on a reverse, totaled 58 yards on eight punt returns and 232 yards on eight kickoff returns (29.0 avg).

The 2003 season was Greg's "coming out" party. He earned Southern Football Weekly All- American honors and was a second-team All-Mid American Conference choice. Jennings ranked second on the team with 56 for 1,050 yards (18.8 avg) and fourteen touchdowns, becoming only the second player in school history to gain over 1,000 yards receiving in a season. He added 669 yards on 31 kickoff returns (21.6 avg) and gained 15 yards on four carries. His 1,734 all-purpose yards ranks second on the school season-record list.

The offensive team captain was an All-MAC first-team pick in 2004. He ranked eighth in the country with an average of 99.3 yards per game receiving. He led the team with 74 catches for 1,092 yards (14.8 avg) and eleven touchdowns, the second-best season totals in school annals. Greg also returned 21 punts for 311 yards (14.8 avg) and two scores, adding 12 yards on three carries to generate 1,415 all-purpose yards.

Those two previous seasons would have been more than enough for a career for other players, but the best was yet to come during his 2005 campaign. Greg led the nation with an average of 8.91 catches per game and ranked second with an average of 114.45 yards per game receiving. He set school season-records with 98 receptions for 1,259 yards (12.8 avg) and tied his own 2003 mark with fourteen touchdown grabs. Jennings gained 50 yards on ten carries, 172 yards on 20 punt returns (8.6 avg) and 20 yards on a pair of kick-off returns. He also completed 1-of-3 passes for a 22-yard touchdown.

In 42 games as a Bronco, Greg started 34 times. He established school career-records with 238 catches for 3,539 yards (14.9 avg) and 39 touchdowns. His 3,539 yards rank fourth and his 39 scores rank second on the Mid-American Conference's all-time record chart. He carried 18 times for 92 yards (5.1 avg), returned 49 punts for 541 yards (11.0 avg) and two scores and totaled 921 yards on 41 kickoff returns (22.5 avg). His 5,093 all-purpose yards set a WMU all-time record and ranks eighth in MAC annals.

CAREER NOTES

jennings is more able replacement for antonio chatman as kr/wr.

[OS PA]

This is what I get from all of your notes:

Step up from Robert Ferguson and Chatman. He's a Packer player, gets open, goes for the ball, makes people miss, is not afraid of taking the hit for the catch, great route runner, although he doesn't have all the intangibles he has enough to be effective. Comes up big in the clutch.

Pulling the trigger on a 2nd string reciever before you pull on your next #1, interesting tactic here, but it may turn out to be a great game play.

Nighty night all. It's past 1am here and I need to do some stuff..

Living in North Pole, Alaska... If that's not Green Bay people I don't know what is. He's probably coming down here in January to warm up.

Daryn Colledge, OG
Boise State

OVERVIEW

Boise State quarterbacks must believe in Santa Claus all over again. They will also thank the jolly old man in red for bringing them a very nice present from the North Pole five years ago -- Daryn Colledge. One of the fastest down linemen in college football, Colledge, from North Pole, Alaska, is also one of the more physical pass protectors in the game today.

Colledge earned first-team All-State honors on defense, honorable mention honors on offense and as a punter following his senior season at North Pole High School. He received first-team All-Conference accolades for both offense and defense in 2000. Colledge was also a varsity letterman in baseball as an outfielder, and in track and field. He placed eighth at the state track and field championships in the shot put as a junior.

Colledge redshirted in 2001 at Boise State. He started every game at the demanding left tackle position in 2002, earning freshman All-America third-team honors from The Sporting News. He provided excellent pass protection as a sophomore, picking up second-team All-Western Athletic Conference recognition as the team ranked fifth in the nation with an average of 336.2 yards per game passing.

Colledge spent the off-season prior to the 2004 campaign in the BSU weight room and went on to set school records in the bench press (438 pounds), hang clean (464) and back squat (665). He started every game at left tackle as a junior, earning College Football News All-America accolades.

College was a first-team All-Western Athletic Conference selection in 2005. He started every game and was named the third-best tackle in college football by ESPN. He closed his career with a school record-tying 51 consecutive starts.

ANALYSIS

Positives: Has a lean, angular frame with decent overall muscle tone, long arms, good bubble, broad shoulders and defined chest...Flashes exceptional quickness for a down lineman, doing a nice job of extending his arms to make reach blocks and seal off edge rushers...Has good initial pop and hand usage...Explosive cut blocker who can get good position on defenders and works hard to sustain blocks...Has loose hips to position and wall off, playing with leverage...Gets out front quickly on traps and pulls, showing easy body movement and the ability to adjust on the move...Stays up and has good foot balance adjusting to linebackers downfield, taking good angles to cut off...Has good hand placement to gain separation and can kick slide fluidly in his pass set...His light feet allow him to slide down the line with ease...Has natural balance, doing a nice job of sinking his hips, sliding out and regrouping efficiently...Does a solid job in attempts to sink, mirror, sustain and adjust when protecting the pocket's blind side...Quick to locate zone coverage when working into the second level and has the foot speed to go long distances when leading on pulls...Knows how to use his long arms to seal and it is very rare to see him overextend because of this...Strong fist fighter who plays until the whistle.

Negatives: Frame has little room for additional growth...Powerful drive blocker, but when his base gets too narrow, defenders are quick to get underneath and push him back into the pocket...Despite his weight room strength, he struggles to maintain position vs. a strong bull rush...His speed is sometimes negated, as he will take a few extra steps coming out of his stance...When he gets too high in his stance, he tends to miss a lot on his arm swipes and also lacks pop on contact when he fails to keep his pads down...Can be much more effective as a pass protector if he anchored better, as his narrow base causes him to get knocked back too much...Slow to redirect when working in-line.

A four-year starter for the Broncos, Colledge has adequate size and bulk, but compensates with quickness and long arms to make reach blocks. He has great timed speed for a down lineman, but it is sometimes negated when he takes extra steps, which causes him to come off the ball a little late. He has good explosiveness and strength at the point to get movement or widen defenders.

Colledge is strong with his punch and gets his hands inside, showing strength with the ability to lock, but is more of a fist fighter than one who relies on placement. He is solid cutting off backside penetration, but seems to struggle when having to redirect inside (see 2004 Louisville game). He does not play with good pad level for his height, but shows good athleticism and quickness on his pulls.

Colledge can find his target in the second level, but needs to be more consistent hitting it square. His angles and speed to the second level are good and he can sustain or mirror on linebackers, but will whiff at times when landing high. He can flip his hips, but must show better consistency when attempting to seal back inside on the counter play.

In pass protection, Colledge's set speed and foot quickness is good but he struggles at times by oversetting and narrowing his base and will have to redirect and power down inside. He plays with good knee bend and has adequate anchor, but his punch can be a little wide and miss at times.

Colledge shows good timing and technique on cut blocks and can see and pick up twists. Colledge is best when he plays on his feet. He is a good athlete in space, and while his base in the running game gets a little narrow, it is correctable. He has a nasty streak to him and has the tools to be an effective left tackle at the next level, but like Houston's Chester Pitts, he will have to rely on his quickness, as he will not be able to grow much more.

what is with everyone posting the same stuff over and over again?

[Rastak]

what is with everyone posting the same stuff over and over again?
Got me...Packer pick overkill...

[Tony Oday]

So what is the biggest need now? We got our LB stud, got some help on the O line and got our punt returner. SO what do you think is next. I wish that we would have taken Stovall however he is still on the board. I would like to see another LB and a RB. Need some playmakers and I hope they are still in the draft.

[motife]

Stuff from PFW on the 2nd round :

36. New England (from San Francisco) — WR Chad Jackson, Florida
The Patriots aggressively moved up to land a potential No. 2 receiver after losing David Givens to the Titans in the offseason. Jackson brings added value on reverses and screens and can be used in a multitude of ways to spark the offense.
37. Atlanta (from Denver and Green Bay) — CB Jimmy Williams, Virginia Tech
Inconsistencies, lack of discipline and too many mental lapses in his play pushed Jimmy Williams out of the first round. The Falcons feel more confident than many teams taking a chance on Williams with his former teammate DeAngelo Evans having developed into one of the premier cornerbacks in the league. Williams has the talent to push Jason Webster to the No. 3 role.

47. Green Bay — OT Daryn Colledge, Boise State
Colledge will likely begin his career inside and challenge OLG Adrian Klemm for a starting job. The Packers needed to find more protection inside to keep Brett Favre from spending as much time on his back as he did a year ago after two of his longtime veteran protectors deflected and left the Packers vulnerable at guard.

[Bretsky]

"At 6-1 and 190 pounds, he's big enough to attract the eye of the NFL"

I'm a little concerned that the dude shrunk between college and the draft...They're listing him at 5'11" on ESPN. By the time he's in his second year with Green Bay he'll be 5'6".

Okay...I'm kind of going WTF? I just hope TT knows what he's doing. Seems like there are better prospects out there than this guy. Kiper likes him, but so what?

Back to my motto: Trust TT.

TIME WILL TELL; AGAIN IT'S NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT TT

I really liked Chris Chester a hell of a lot better than the OT we picked
I really liked Demetrius Williams a hell of a lot better than Jennings

I really hope I'm wrong on both


OH, and I really liked Abdul Hodge as a 2nd round pick.

[Deputy Nutz]

I think the Packers could go Fred Matua in the third round. More offensive line help, a defensive end, and some more help in the secondary. Also, the Packers could also look to address a moderate need at running back, and again at wide reciever.

Wide reciever depth currently looks like this:

1. Donald Driver
2. Robert Ferguson
3. Rod Gardner
4. Mark Borichter
5. Greg Jennings
6. Chad Lucas
7. Chump
8. Chump

A OG then a RB or Center.
