OFFICIAL DRAFT DAY THREAD FOR THE SUPERBOWL CHAMPION GB PACKERS

[Bretsky]

Guys I'd LOVE to fall to 32 still left

Costanzo
Ayers
Ingram
Bowers
Carimi
Wilkerson


to a lesser extent...Sherrod/Smith

It was interesting that about 90 minutes ago I ID'd these guys as potentials to fall to us who were projected to be gone but might fall

gotta at least be ok with this getting what is hopefully our LT of the future after this year in Sherrod

Bummer that Carimi, Wilkerson, and Ingram came off the board shortly before our pick

[DonHutson]

Badger homerism aside, I'm happy Sherrod fell and Carimi didn't. With Carimi, Bulaga needs to turn into a LT. Now you've got some flexibility to see which of the two pans out there.

I didn't catch the beginning of tonight's draft. I hear Goodall was pretty heavily booed, but I can't find any video of it. was it as bad as I hope it is?

[jmbarnes101]

I know very little about him other than he seems intelligent. Is this kid good? Any info on him?

Ted coming down to wow the public with his speechifying.

Considering what happened in front of them on the board, this was a solid pick, without having to move up and pay a price. If Clifton can hang on a couple of more years, or perhaps one more, then this guy might be able to sit for a year and develop.

I like this video highlight package of Derek Sherrod: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju-J_...feature=fvwrel

[Scott Campbell]

Does that make our last 5 first rounders trench picks?

It wasn't horrible, but he was booed. He got up to the mic and said something like, "I hear ya."

Probably not as bad as it could have been, but loud enough that he acknowledged it.

Sherrod didn't come from a pro-style system. Most high picked lineman come from schools where there isn't so much projection. I don't want to say he's a project, but like Gruden said, he doesn't share their vision, but he does have size and athletic ability. . . .

TT and company do their homework. This guy has LT feet. It will be interesting to see how he pans out. He wasn't as proven as the other guys.

We are the world champs and have people coming back so we may not need much help. We took insurance for 2011/2012 and a guy who need to contribute later in his career. I agree he's a project though.

Deep down we all hope GB drafts a starter but we have isurance for the future

[3irty1]

Sherrod is a nice pick. Super athlete, super feet, super long arms. Hopefully he's not too long that he can't play LG this year and slide over when Clifton hangs it up.

Derek Sherrod

This young man is one of the more experienced tackles in the nation. 2010: An All-SEC selection in 2009 and 2010, He helped pave the way for the Bulldogs to lead the SEC and finish ninth nationally in rushing with 227.6 yards per game. This season, He has helped Mississippi State bulldoze its way to 219.3 rushing yards per game, which ranks 15th nationally. He has helped the top 25 Bulldogs achieve their most wins since 2007. The team captain has started 34 games and appeared in 46 contests for his career. He played in 10 games as a freshman in 2007, started 10 games as a sophomore, and started 12 games as a junior. He stands at 6'5'' and 305 pounds, but he has great agility for a man of his size. He is fundamentally sound, but struggled slightly against elite pass-rushers--whom he will see plenty of in the NFL. He has been a staple at left tackle for Mississippi State.

NFL Combine Results
40-Yard Dash—5.2
Bench press--23
Vertical jump—28.0
Broad jump—8’1
Three-cone drill—7.43
20-yard shuttle—4.63

FYI
here is the lowdown on why the draft delay

Baltimore made a trade with Chicago; Baltimore confirmed with the league but time expired before the Bears confirmed with the league. Bears were trying to trade up to pick Carimi but didn't confirm in time with the league
