THE draft thread (2013 version)

[RashanGary]

Some teams might have a 300 pound weight limit on OL. I wonder if TT says he's surprised this guy was still there. I just get a really good feeling about this pick. I like all three picks. We drafted ball players this year. We have a long, athletic DE who can hand fight in the trenches and move all across the line. He's a fighter and a baller. Lacy, obviously has the injury concerns, but he's a real running back. He can play. And this guy. For the spot we took him, he's looking like one of my favorite Packer picks in a while. I get good vibes right now. 300 lbs, sure, but it sounds like he's a fuckin blocker. He pass blocks well and he run blocks well at the point of attack. He blocks his guy (run or pass.) Slight issue at the 2nd level, but he's really good at blocking. That's going to be his job. Love it.

Obviously TT isn't secure in what we had at Tackle.

This fella also adds versatility. Anyone who doesn't see the logic in this pick doesn't care about Aaron Rodgers and his health.

This pick is about protecting the INVESTMENT>>> Aaron Rodgers.

Yep, I heard Charlie Casserly mention him this morning as a super sleeper that nobody is really talking about. He also mentioned that because he doesn't have ideal stature for OT that he might get moved inside.

TT >>> at Pick #122:

QB Tyler Bray,Tennessee

BPA Options >>>>WR Quinton Patton, Louisana Tech 6-0 204 or Ryan Swope, Texas A&M 6-0 205 and VERY fast

FS Phillip Thomas, Fresno State or Tony Jefferson, Oklahoma

DE/OLB Cornelius Washington, Georgia

OFF goes the last STELLAR safety I saw.............Philip Thomas...........bye bye

[RashanGary]

TT said the board held together well yesterday. Sounds like the guys they like stayed on the board. . . . This point in the draft, I don't think you get very many good lineman. You get projects who may be good some day, but I think we just drafted a really good lineman in the 4th round.

Everyone knows it, you draft big guys in the beginning of the draft. They're rare. They are the starting point of every good team. Without them, you're doomed. I love that we landed a legitimate, quality big guy in the 4th round. He's a player. A legit player.

I once had him in my Mock and definitely ahead of 'the flavour of the week' LT David Quessenberry FR. San Jose State.

He's pretty similar long term IMO to Quessenberry. If we've failed with Sherrod he covers our ass. He might be ok......ok

[Brandon494]

Here we go! This fucker better not trade down.

Yikes....I didn't see anybody rate Khaled Holmes over Barrett Jones.........Colts just took the USC Center

OUCH !!

Redskins >>> SS Phillip Thomas, 6'0" 208, Fresno St. ........... Grade 74.1

[Bretsky]

Jessie Williams.....there must be a problem somewhere....still sitting there. Patton would be a very solid pick here. Still a good CB in Poyer out there. Barrett Jones .......ah....who the hell knows....trade down............
