Yes, so that means these guys have yet to prove they suck. 1 out of 3 shots are decent odds of hitting on one. Favre leaving means starting over so it might as well be all the way from scratch. I dont want TT filling pots holes when it comes to the most important player on offense.Originally posted by RastakComment

Love the first 5 picks and Flynn. Hate the other 3. Makes no sense. I'd rather have another punter to give Ryan competition.Originally posted by Rastak"There's a lot of interest in the draft.

Lions take Campbell - Cool Pick! Good luck Caleb:
Strengths: Has good range and can cover the deep half of the field when stays disciplined. Physical, has excellent upper body strength and can reroute receivers. While didn't intercept a pass last year, has big hands, catches the ball well and has shown big-play ability in coverage in the past. Takes adequate pursuit angles and is a sideline-to-sideline run defender. Has excellent size and can line up in the box. Wraps up upon contact and is a reliable open field tackler that flashes the ability to deliver the big hit and forced three fumbles last year Plays with a good motor and can cover kicks. Has excellent experience, vocal and helps get teammates lined up right.
Weaknesses: Takes too long to change directions and is going to have problems matching up with slot receivers in man coverage. Stiff in the hips, faster than quick so struggles to recover when gets caught in a trail position and is going to have problems turning and running with receivers. Lacks ideal awareness in zone coverage, too quick to jump crossing routes and can let receivers get behind him when asked to cover the deep half of the field. Tall enough to compete for jump balls but doesn't have long arms and isn't a great leaper. Doesn't use hands well enough and can take too long to shed blocks when reached by an offensive lineman. Doesn't protect legs and struggles to get over cut blocks. Sustained a season-ending knee injury in 2006, appeared hesitant at times last year and durability is a concern.
Overall: Campbell arrived at Army in 2004 and became a freshman starter for the Black Knights. In his first three seasons ('04-'06), he appeared in 31 games (26 starts) and combined for 210 tackles (eight for losses), five pass breakups and six interceptions. As a junior, he missed Army's final three games after suffering an ACL tear in his right knee. He returned last season to start all 12 games and post 97 tackles (two for losses), two forced fumbles and two pass breakups. Few safety prospects possess Campbell's blend of size and speed so there is a lot to like about his upside, especially for a team that plays primarily zone coverage. However, he is a straight-line player who is far more effective in run support than he is matching up in coverage at this point so he is a bit of a developmental prospect. With all of that in mind, Campbell projects as a seventh round pick or rookie free agent.Comment

agreed, but i think you can bring some undrafted players in for competition there. I think Minnesota got their kicker that way, and he's pretty good. (if I recall correctly).Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers

Bills take OT Bell:
Strengths: Gets off the ball well and flashes the ability to get into position quickly. Shows good lateral mobility, can each defender lined up over outside shoulder and can seal the edge. Gets adequate hand placement, moves feet and can sustain blocks. Takes adequate not great angles to downfield blocks, can adjust to moving targets in space and can get into position at the second level. Shuffles feet well and can redirect in pass protection. Has the frame to add bulk, has steadily progressed and should only get better with added experience.
Weaknesses: Undersized, plays too high and can get knocked back at the point of contact. Doesn't deliver a violent initial punch and hasn't shown great upper body strength. Plays too high, hasn't shown great lower body strength and isn't going to drive defenders off the ball. Doesn't sink hips enough and gives too much ground to bull rushers. Had never played football before 2005 fall camp, moved from defensive end to offensive tackle three weeks prior to the start of the 2006 season, played basketball at Northwestern State and is raw. Played at a small school and there is some concern about ability to adjust to the speed of the game at the NFL level.
Overall: Bell attended Northwestern State on a basketball scholarship, and had never so much as worn a helmet when he decided to try out for the football team in 2005. Playing defensive end in his first season ('05), he logged 11 tackles, all in a single game. He was moved to left offensive tackle only weeks before the 2006 season opener, and went on to start 22 consecutive games over the next two seasons ('06-07). He played three seasons for the Demons basketball squad (2004-05 through 2006-07). Bell is a developmental small school prospect who has the frame, initial quickness and agility to develop into a reliable backup or adequate starter at left tackle for a team that does a lot of zone blocking. However, he isn't strong, big or explosive enough at this point to play a substantial role so he projects as a seventh round pick.Comment
