"LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Considering the unknowns involved in evaluating any NFL draft pick too soon, it makes more sense to be excited about Chicago Bears' first-round choice Shea McClellin than it does to start comparing him to Dan Bazuin.

But sure enough, that name popped up Thursday night, a nervous and knee-jerk reaction by those who remembered Bazuin, a second-round Bears pick five years ago out of Central Michigan who, like McClellin, was projected as a defensive end, then waived after one year and his second knee surgery." Story Cont'd....

My basic philosopy pre-draft is that I'm probably not that qualified to evaluate the College talent. When they get in camp and match up in the pre-season games, I can tell who has it and who doesn't. With these schoolboys, it kind of hard to tell which one of 'em is gonna turn out to be an NFL player

Good mornin' KY.

Yes ......it's just with 'a wish and a hope' that we praise TT's fine job so far in this draft. He's definitely going for it..being assertive.I couldn't ask for more from him as a Packer fan.
