For what it's worth

[b bulldog]

Packer chatters latest rumor has the Packers interested in drafting Ahmad Brooks in the supplemental draft. I think it is a huge, longshot for this to take place with the talent that already exists at the LB position. Hawk,Hodge,Manning,Barnett,Poppinga form a decent group imo.

[Bretsky]

Ahmad Brooks was an incredible talent before injuries. Also heard he's not a good person. But if healthy he's 1-2nd round talent, which to me makes him a no brainer as a round 3 pick and a debateable #2.

Except he was thrown off his team, and is 290 lbs right now. Perhaps he can be the solution we've craved at DE

[SD GB fan]

if he can play DE i wudnt mind giving up a 3rd round for him. seeing how TT does drafts, he get that pick back plus more next season.

but, seriously, we do not need any more LBs.

when there is a guy that for awhile many scouts thought was a better prospect then mr. hawk, its generallly worth the gamble. It'll be interesting to see who takes him.

[gbpackfan]

Boom or bust risk. Will have to be a DE. I just don't see the need to take a risk at LB when we are now, amazingly, so deep at the position.

Barnett
Hawk
Manning - who looked good at the OTA today.
Hodge
Taylor
Campbell
Popps
White
etc.

[Bretsky]

I dind't know he was up to 290; youch.

But I don't buy the we're two strong at LB take.

We have Barnett and Hawk who I'm comfortable with as starters. I think Hodge will develop into one. Ben Taylor is average and in reality it would be nice if he was our backup at a few positions instead of the starter.

Manning, Poppinga, and the rest can go in a kettle and any that amounts to an adequate backup would be a bonus.

i've said a few times on packerchatters that we should take the guy as a DE. he's in the 260's i think i read, 268 i think it was. i would keep him there and make him a monster do it all DE. thats 20 pounds heavier then kgb was last year with the same quickness, but with the ability to stop the run

IMO the guy is absolutely worth a second rounder. if it wasn't for some pretty bad injuries last year he would have been a top 5 pick in this draft. so to me a second rounder is an absolute bargain

and don't believe a word out of the guys mouth that said this was inside info. his "sources" have been wrong on almost everything. i have the same sources as him, they're all those annoying voices in my head that won't shut up while i'm trying to type. he calls them his inside info, i just call them my friends

who let the queen in?

j/k

this place is great, its like js online, but without all the posters i hated

but back on the subject, i did read today that brooks has been working out and is down to 268, i think he played around 265 or 260. and theres guys like urlacher that are over 260. so he isn't that out of shape right now

[Bretsky]

Red,

Nice to see you in here; I've only read briefly about Brooks. And I agree he has 2nd round talent easily; really if healthy he was mid round 1 talent.
But character issues will scare away TT and other conservative teams. I'd be surprised if TT uses a 2nd but I think some team should.

[chain_gang]

No doubt Bretsky about the character issues, my guess is the bengals take him. However I think he'd be worth some serious consideration by Green Bay. Never want to pass a player that can be a star.

Sorry guys but if healthy, Brooks was thought to be the number one prospect by many at the LB position in this draft. Injuries and character are his red flags, that's all
