I missed that last part about how the Packers got that last pick. Did anyone figure it out....did he trade up?

yes, traded 113 and our 5th rounder to move up

[wpony]

I just poped in and noticed that Dennis Dixon is still on the board do you think if he is still on the board with one of our 4th rd picks we should pick him up give us more training camp material and if he is back where he was he might even beat Brohm out and we could trade either one of them maybe for a 2nd next YR if we kept them till someone need a QB in a pinch this YR.

[GoPackGo]

isn't it likely that he won't get drafted and we could sign him without using a 7th on him?

Well, so could any other team then.

good point

Yes. Ted Traded his highest fourth round pick (that he initially got from the Jets via the first trade), and his fifth round pick to move up 11 spots in the fourth.

I can't see is grabbing more than one Rookie QB. We pick up a vet off the scrap-heap and let Brohm start the season as the #3.

Na, I think they might want to keep that 3rd QB spot open to try to get a veteran QB in on a 1 yr deal while Brohm learns the offense. If they do draft another one, I'd expect it would come very late - Kyle Wright of Miami in round 7 would be okay. Dixon is a good QB but I'd only have taken him if I hadn't gotten Brohm.

Wedding Ring

She's been proposed to, she said yes and she's wearing a 1 carat blue as we speak. She's also gonna make the Rats game against Atlanta!

Nuff said, Cheez, huh?

I'd be relaxed too if the draft had fallen to me like this one has for TT

Bucs take DT Moore:


Strengths: Though still needs to improve ability to shed blocks quickly, plays with a mean streak, has above-average upper body strength and made progress in this area during senior season. Takes adequate angles to the ball, has adequate range and makes the occasional play in pursuit. Doesn't do a great job of anticipating the snap but is quick and can disrupt the occasional play in the backfield. Did a better job of using hands to protect legs and improved ability to fight over cut blocks during senior season though is still somewhat inconsistent in this area. Keeps head up and flashes the ability to sniff out screens. Has some experience lining up over tackles and is versatile enough to move to end in a 3-4 two-gap scheme. Played just one season of high school football and is still a little raw but has made strides and should only continue to get better with added experience.

Weaknesses: Plays too high, hasn't shown great lower body strength and can get driven back. Lacks elite size though has the frame to bulk up, plays with a narrow base and can't anchor against double teams at this point. Appears to gear down when sees other defenders get to the ball carrier and effort is inconsistent. Takes too long to read keys when teams run at him and gets caught out of position at times. Appears stiff in space and is an inconsistent open field tackler. Lacks ideal lateral mobility and doesn't set blockers up to the outside before redirecting inside. Lacks ideal closing speed and can be step slow getting to the quarterback. While intercepted a pass last year, frequently fails to get hands up when isn't going to the quarterback and doesn't always time jumps well.

Overall: Moore arrived at Maryland in 2003 and redshirted the year. In his first three seasons (2004-'06), he appeared in 31 games (13 starts) and recorded 77 tackles (nine for losses) and 4.5 sacks. As a senior in 2007, he started all 13 games and finished the season with 63 tackles (8.5 for losses), six sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception. Moore is a developmental prospect who lacks ideal athletic ability, is inconsistent and needs to work on his technique as well as his instincts but he steadily improved at Maryland and he has the size and burst that NFL teams covet at the defensive tackle position. He projects as a late first-day pick consequently.

Very mysterious.
