When you put names on those weakest links at tackle, it was Colledge that was as big of a sieve as Barbre was on the other side - maybe even bigger without looking up the stats. You can say that's because he wasn't used to playing the position, but he was pretty inconsistent in protection at guard too. Colledge getting beat out most likely means improvement at that position.Originally posted by pbmaxComment

Tar, you can be a fan (or not be a fan) of whomever you wish. I will not argue with anyone about that. But as for the REASONS to be a fan, then lets try to be consistent with those.Originally posted by Tarlam!
Collins signed his tender early this year because his long term contract was less than two weeks away. The year prior, he took longer than Colledge has to sign the tender. His situation LAST year was closer to Colledge this year. In those two situations, neither had leverage.
Colledge has not stated he desire to be paid like a Pro Bowler. He has stated he would prefer a multi-year contract to the tender, which is true of every player.
The only difference between Grant and Colledge is that Grant DID hold out. He had no right to go anywhere else. Colledge could have received an offer from another team. Colledge hasn't held out of anything yet.
The only comment from Colledge that seems to be objected to, we have no primary source on. Bedard knows someone who heard the radio show. But no tape or transcript are available. And Colledge denies the message was as Bedard portrayed it.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Sorry. Pack picks at 230. 9 picks to wait. I'm with Bretsky hoping for a QB at this point. Since I know I'll be wrong, maybe it'll be someone who can make the team.Comment

After the safe pick, Bulaga, in the first round, this draft was all about getting all around athletes with upside. Bretsky should be thrilled with this draft.
DE Michael Neal - Strongest DE in the draft and a good all around athlete.
S Morgan Burnett - Good size/speed combination (6 1/2, 208 lbs, 4.51 40)
"Ran the 40 in 4.51. Vertical jump 39 1/2. Bench-pressed 225 pounds 16 times."
TE Andrew Quarless - Fast and relatively strong also
"He displayed his enviable athletic ability at the combine, running a 4.69 40-yard dash and tying for fifth among tight ends in the bench press."
OG Marshall Newhouse - Tested well at the combine
"Newhouse turned heads at the scouting combine, running the 40 in 5.00 seconds despite his thick build, ranking third among all offensive linemen. Also one of the top performers in the 3-cone drill and the 20-yard shuttle, Newhouse can be a very athletic guard at the next level."
RB James Starks - very good all around athlete, size and speed
"One of three runners to place in the top 10 at combine in 40, vertical, broad, three-cone drill and 20-yard shuttle. (Ben Tate, Montarrio Hardesty)""There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

Giants select Matt Dodge
Still pissed off at my buddy BillTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

Not necessarily true when it comes to the veteran tackle spots for example. Someone beating them out most likely means decline or injury. Different situation with Colledge.Originally posted by pbmaxComment

Just realized that Newhouse is the nephew of one of my favorite non-Packer players, Robert Newhouse. I liked Newhouse--despite the fact he played for the Cowboys."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

Ok good to see many people are still watching .
The Packers are high on Underwood though and they think Underwood is a better prospect than any of the corners in the draft today so I wouldn't be surprised to see them not go CB.Comment

Also, out of all places to go for my buddy AOA, he had to go to the Cowboys !
Now I have to hate him.

Newhouse called himself a "cousin" if the JSO transcript is to be believed.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangersBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment
