[GrnBay007]

I hate when that little screen comes up on the Packers:

Key Loss: Favre
Key addition: none

I had a different reaction.

:P

So where did everyone go? Pack has two more picks coming up? Where is the speculation?

It's "a Dark and Stormy " time Rastak.

Drinking.

Me too Woody, and my boys are done for the day.


Cheers!

They're still ten picks away.

Think I should call ESPN and protest for Joe Toledo to be put on the additions list?

Or Brandon Chillar, he's as key as Frank Walker was last year.

[Scott Campbell]

So he isn't going to beat out Jennings or Driver. But I wonder if he could beat out Jones for the 3rd slot?

How can you not whave that reaction when the guy basically stabbed you with a sharp knife over and over for years!

Bullshit Nutz.

You wouldn't have made that pick and not one other Packer fan would have either. Look back at my earlier post and see that TT had far too many other options.

I don't hate TT. He's just too far out man. Whacky as they come.
He's X 10. A bag of gas!!

Same old Woodbuck. Hating on TT even after he's turned this team into a Superbowl contender. What more does the guy have to do for you? When is the last time you were an NFL GM? That's what I thought..

Who'd a thought Canada and the US were so far apart, eh Woody?

What Woody was trying to say here is that it's funny to watch TT, in the way you watch that unpredictable guy at the party just to see wtf he's going to do next

Yea and the real deal is Canadians don't even use the word "HATE". Guiness.

What's that word mean?

PACKERS FOREVER!

[BF4MVP]

Simpson from Coastal Carolina just picked..

Hmm..Coastal Carolina..Sounds like a school that could produce a TT draft pick

[Lurker64]

Think Charles Godfrey or Patrick Lee will be there for either of our seconds? I like both of them, but for different reasons.

[digitaldean]

So much for Davis....

Finley maybe???

[chain_gang]

I'm here Rastak, I hoping for Anthony Collins, OT from Kansas, I think is good value if he's there, Charles Godfrey, or Antwaun Molden. Of course one can only speculate which way TT goes.

I thought it was more like a rusty, painful, tetanus-inducing knife.

Redskins take TE Davis - kinda wanted him for Minny.....


Strengths: An athletic tight end with good quickness and adequate speed for the position. Does a good job of avoiding the jam at the line and shows good release quickness. He has long arms and big hands. He has excellent ball skills and can go up and snatch the ball at its highest point. Very reliable short-to-intermediate receiver. Doesn't let the ball get into his pads often and shows very good hand-eye coordination for his position. He can pluck on the run and gets upfield quickly. Displays a knack for finding open windows on short-to-intermediate routes. Is fast enough to occasionally stretch the seam vertically. Will consistently separate from SLB's one-on-one. He has a quick first step as a run blocker and generally takes good angles. Shows good body control in space as a blocker and does an outstanding job of hitting the moving target on the second-level. Uses leverage to his advantage, displays adequate upper-body strength and works hard to sustain his blocks once locked on. He has been durable and reliable throughout his career. Continues to improve with more experience and is a hard worker with solid overall intangibles.

Weaknesses: Height and bulk are decent but not good. He's tough and technically sound as a blocker, but he will get overwhelmed physically versus bigger DE's and SLB's at the point of attack. While he has above average speed for the position, he has not been a consistent weapon vertically.

Overall: Davis appeared in 35 games (13 starts) in his first three seasons at USC (2004-'06), grabbing 55 receptions for 527 yards (9.6 average) and five touchdowns. Last season he started all 13 games and more than doubled his previous career totals, turning in 62 receptions for 881 yards (14.2 average) and eight touchdowns. Davis finished his career with school records for receptions and receiving yards by a tight end, and as a senior received the Mackey Award, given to the nation's top player at the position. Keller missed one game in 2005 because of an ankle injury.: Davis made significant strides as a first-year starter in 2006 before breaking out as a senior in 2007. He lacks elite size and he is not going to be a typical inline tight end in the NFL. However, Davis possesses the athleticism and toughness to quickly emerge as an impact pass-catcher and eventually to develop into a fulltime starter. Davis is one of the only tight ends in this class that creates mismatches. If used properly and moved around in the formation, Davis should be able to use his explosiveness, physicality and quickness to give linebackers and safeties a very difficult time.

So he isn't going to beat out Jennings or Driver. But I wonder if he could beat out Jones for the 3rd slot?

Just as long as he ends Woodson's days of returning punts.
