Bryan Bulaga

[Tony Oday]

Just heard on KFAN (Twin Cities sports talk) and they are saying Bulaga looks more like a RT...does that bother anyone?

Not for me. Last year proved you need a good RT too, or your offense will suffer. Plenty of guys drafted in the top half of the first round have turned out to be good RTs. Nothing wrong with it. If he turns into a good LT, then that's even better.

This is also the same state that thought TJack was a legit QB. Add in they are Viking fans and will downplay whatever we do.

Actually PA said he thinks he is a stud it was a profootballtalk.com guy

He's not. As a two year starter at LT, who has never played RT he can play on the left. People knock him because he doesn't have great feet, but he certainly has good enough feet to play left tackle. So he won't be as pretty to watch as guys like Anthony Davis, Bruce Campbell, or Charles Brown (if those guys get coached up properly) but he'll certainly be effective.

Looking at Green Bay's history with drafting offensive linemen, the guys who have worked out the best for us are guys who came into the league with a lot of experience in college, solid fundamentals, and outstanding work ethics like Lang and Sitton. Bulaga is all of that but he's a much better athelete.

But seriously, go back and watch the 2008 tape on him. He's an NFL left tackle.

When I see film of some of Bulaga's drills at the combine, he looks less athletic than Willams/Okung/Davis/Campbell. When I watch films of him against Derrick Morgan in the Orange Bowl, I swear I see Chad Clifton. We'll see. Harvey is right though. We found out last year how important RT is.

How many examples are there of teams use a #1 draft pick with the intention of playing the guy at RT? I am no draftnik, but none come to mind.

I was over at NFL.com and found a section that showed "fan moods" about the teams draft so far. Green Bays was amongst the lowest.

But that's not about Bulaga. That's about the Kitties getting Suh and Jahvid Best

He played LT in college but if he moved to RT that wouldn't be the end of the world. Tauscher is no spring chicken...

To the losers go the spoils.

Another solid TT football player pick. Not sold on Bulaga as an lt. Struggles against speed rushers. Possible guard to offset players like Suh.

Anyone notice TT only drafts white o-linemen? Coincidence?

That is strange, although it may be that other teams are undervaluing ugly white guys.

Jamon Meredith, Will Whitticker, and Junius Coston aren't white. Breno Giacomini is half-Italian and half-Brazillian, so he's not particularly anglo.

Baltimore drafted a guy in the first round last year, Michael Oher, that they have projected starting at RT in year 2.

Cincinnati drafted a guy in the first round last year, Andre Smith, that they have projected starting at RT in year 2.

St. Louis drafted a guy in the first round last year, Jason Smith, that they have projected starting at RT in year 2.

Jordan Gross played at RT for a few years until eventually moving to LT.

Miami drafted a guy in the first round in 2004, Vernon Carey, who is their starting RT.

San Francisco has a stalwart at LT in Joe Staley. They drafted a guy in the first round this year that will be a RT in Anthony Davis.

Not to mention that Jacksonville and Philadelphia both have starting RTs that were high second round picks.

I don't buy your theory.

Lower round scrubs. Majority of TT's picks of 0-line picks are white. Pure coincidence? Al Campanis mentality?

Are you saying all those guys were projected to play RT BEFORE they were drafted?

WR and DB almost exclusively black. LB -- Hawk -- overrated, Matthews -- legit, Poppinga -- horrible, Chillar -- okay
