Bryan Bulaga

They filled a big need with a player that dropped to them. Be excited but really, who gives a shit. If he does his job you won't ever bother with him. but if he screws up you will all have Thompson's head on a platter.

Lighten up Nutz. If he proves to be as good as Clifton, he'll be revered here. People actually do notice how the OL is playing.

Sure, when they give up 3 sacks against Jared Allen you notice. Then you will bitch about Thompson, trust me, everyone loves Thompson on draft day, well except when he drafted Harrell, but many bought into that as well.

I have finally stepped out of the Packer Fan Box and see you all for what you really are, complainers and moaner for the better part of the year, and when draft day comes it is like a ray of sunshine on a dogs ass. Then you will be happy for about a month, at least through OTAs, then you will start bitching when Thompson has trouble signing his draft picks.

By stepped out of the packer fan box do you mean started cheering for the vikings instead of the packers? Glad you are so much more enlightened than all of us.

Not really, just because I follow Favre and his career doesn't mean I am a die hard Viking fan, I couldn't tell you their needs for the 2010 draft. I am sick of living and dying with every stupid move an NFL franchise makes.

What are you talking about?

I never cared about what a Viking Fan said.

When you figure out, let me know...

On the other hand the Packers got the only A+ at this site:
http://www.draftseason.com/live-2010...-round-grades/

Most grades I've seen have the Packers as a B or a B+. All with generally the same explaination: The Packers get points for selecting a consensus top 10 pick of a few weeks ago, but there's a reason why his draft stock fell sharply in the crucial days before the draft.

I can't say I disagree with that assessment. Another thing they could have mentioned is that Bulaga isn't likely to be a regular starter for a year or two. But that said, I think Bulaga is going to really impress some people, especially having that year or two to learn the game from 2 outstanding veterans before becoming that regular starter.

The same thing was said about Aaron Rodgers.

I know. My entire post could be said about Aaron Rodgers. Bulaga having a year or two to learn behind Clifton and Tauscher, who knows what this kid's ceiling is. By his 5th year in the league he could be the starting LT for the NFC Pro Bowl squad - assuming Green Bay isn't playing in the Super Bowl that year. Let's hope fate will tell the same story about Bulaga that it does about Rodgers, and that 20 years from now we can view both of their busts in Canton.

I hope he doesnt play, save for blowouts, because that means the top 5 are doing well.

Unless he's good enough to be one of the top 5 guys right away.

THAT would be awesome!

It most certainly would. We'd have the most expensive backup OT in the league, and it wouldn't bother me one bit.

That said, it's going to take a helluva lot for Bulaga to unseat either Clifton or Tauscher for a starting job if they're healthy heading into preseason. The greybeards are pretty good, and I'm just as glad that we have them as I am that we drafted one of their replacements.

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

No. We need one of those too.

Maybe the Brewers should have drafted Bulaga.

That shows some pretty amazing athleticism. You have to uncork the whole package with pretty good timing to jack 14 in one BP. I'm impressed.

not that it means much else other than the packer softball teams just got tougher to beat.

Bulaga has confirmed he will be participating in the Donald Driver Charity Softball game.

Reminds of Joey Meyer.

Maybe Lang is the future lt and Bulaga the future rt.

This really pissed Ken Macha off, he is sick of Packers getting all the attention at Miller Park, he wants to kick field goals at Lambeau during pre game

I think baseball people just need to get over the fact that football is the unquestioned ruler of American Sports these days. It's bigger than baseball, and it's going to get more attention, particularly in markets where the football team is relatively more successful than the baseball team (admittedly, you get 12/32 teams in the football playoffs, versus 8/30). Plus, there are at least 81 games at Miller Park this year, anything that makes one different from all the others is going to get covered at least a little.

It's not that people don't like and/or appreciate baseball, it's just that football is king.
