As a Mountaineer fan, it pains me to say...he's not very good. I hope the Packers do not take a chance on him in the draft. Now if he is an undrafted FA...that would be okay.Originally posted by Maxie the TaxiComment

Again, everything else being equal and with things as they stand now, why take a chance on a guy like Capers when you could draft Pouncey and get the consensus best position player in the draft?Originally posted by Brando19One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

That's what I'm saying. I really hope the Packers draft Cal's RB with their first pick (if he drops that far), and after that load up on the O line, Safety, and a punter if there's a good one.Originally posted by Maxie the TaxiComment

Here's some of the top LT's in the 2010 draft:
1. Russell Okung | 6'5, 300 pounds | Oklahoma State
The electric Oklahoma State offense is anchored by Okung, a probable first-day pick had he come out this year. What makes Okung good is his initial first step and an excellent kick slide. In the running game, Okung finishes off his blocks really well. To cement himself as an early first-round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, he'll have to show more consistency.
2. Bryan Bulaga | 6'6, 304 pounds | Iowa
Bulaga is as complete of an offensive tackle as there will be available for the 2010 NFL Draft. Clearly advanced for his age, Bulaga shows impressive body control and the nastiness to finish off blocks. His footwork is NFL-ready and he shows technical correctness in his hand use. Almost a lock for a top 10 pick whenever he comes out.
3. Bruce Campbell | 6'7, 310 pounds | Maryland
Campbell is a natural left tackle who might be the most athletic offensive lineman in the class. He has good length to handle speed rushers and is a better run blocker than most think. The biggest negative on Campbell is a lack of experience. He started only 17, playing in 27. He's also battled injuries and technical consistency.
4. Anthony Davis | 6'6, 330 pounds | Rutgers
Davis made a smooth transition from guard to tackle last season, starting 11 games and earning all-conference honors. One of the top recruits in school history, Davis is a very good run blocker thanks to his frame that is powerful throughout. Against the pass rush, he does well redirecting rushers to the far outside.
5. Charles Brown | 6'6, 298 pounds | Southern California
Watching Southern California games, Brown just seems to pop out on screen. He's a finesse left tackle with good aggression off the snap. Brown is a solid all-around tackle who seals off opponents nicely in the running game and properly shuffles his feet and extends his arms against the pass. If Brown can get stronger in his lower body to handle stronger defenders, there's no reason he can't become a first-round player.
6. Trent Williams | 6'5, 309 pounds | Oklahoma
Williams was somewhat overlooked last season while playing right tackle and Phil Loadholt held down the left side. Williams showed the athleticism to shift to left tackle, something he'll do this year. He's displayed great footwork, but could still improve in the running game. He's the only returning starter on Oklahoma's offensive line, so his leadership skills will be put to the test.
7. Ciron Black | 6'5, 328 pounds | LSU
No left tackle may have as much potential as Black. He was somewhat disappointing last season but still managed to become an All-SEC player. He's a big, powerful tackle at his best in the run game. Entering his final season, Black has started 40 consecutive games and had 68 knockdowns last season.
8. Sam Young | 6'8, 330 pounds | Notre Dame
Like much of Notre Dame's offense, the 2009 season is of great importance for Young. A top recruit out of high school, Young has been only a decent player for the Fighting Irish. What he lacks in athleticism, Young makes up for in size and strength.
9. Selvish Capers | 6'6, 290 pounds | West Virginia
Like most West Virginia linemen, Capers might fit best in a zone-blocking scheme. He's moves around well and really attacks defenders in the open field. Capers excels at keeping in front of his opponent and keeping them on the outside. Where Capers struggles is when he has to block in line. He doesn't have the strength to maintain blocks for long and will get his legs tangled up.

MM clearly prefers having a workhorse back who gets the lion's share of the carries. I seriously doubt TT will use a 1st round pick on a guy who won't get the ball more than 10 times a game.I can't run no more

Packrulz, in my opinion this is a weak year for drafting by need when your need is a left tackle. (In fact, it's a weak draft year pretty much all around.) The only "elite" quality tackle in the bunch you listed -- again in my opinion -- is Bulaga, and he'll be long gone by the time TT picks. Campbell has a shot to be good. The rest have the potential to bomb out, or at least be no better than what we have now.
In my judgment, TT should draft best available talent this year, whatever the position. Maybe take a flyer on an O-lineman later on, unless the best available happens to be Pouncey -- which is a real possibility.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Oh, I know that Max, I'm just posting the free info that's out there on these guys. Actually, I think Pouncey fits the versatile lineman that TT likes, as a freshman he started 11 games at right tackle, and Spitz hurt his back last year, so I could see T. J. Lang and Pouncey as future tackles, or he could play center if Spitz can't go. I do think TT needs to draft a good offensive lineman for depth this year in one of the first 3 rounds. For the record, I think he should draft a 3rd QB somewhere too, maybe on the 2nd day.Originally posted by Maxie the TaxiThanks Ted!Comment
