Bash me as the Cardinal and Red Homer; this will b the last thread I create on Monte Ball
I will go on record as saying he's going to very a very solid RB in the NFL and we would be fortunate to have him as a Green Bay Packer
I think he'd be a solid starter for the next 5-8 years on a team that can get away with having sub par running backs.....as we already have
Interesting comparisons....he's been compared by many to Curtis Martin....and now a tougher version of Shawn Alexander
There are no character questions with this guy; any articles that refers to them is IMO by an uninformed author
Due to my Badger Homerism, I will be cheering for Green Bay to draft Monte Ball in either the 2nd or 3rd round. IMO it's a pipe dream for anybody to think we can get him in 4
With that being said, IMO the Packers have let the cup go too bare in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Signing the Steeler DL, or a credible cost effective FA would have given GB flexibility to draft a guy like Monte. But if I'm right we don't even sniff a RB til round 4 at the soonest.
From the Packers standpoint, the cup is bare enough that it would be hard for them to draft Ball in round one or two (with the need at DL/OL/S) even if Ball is the BPA.
Even in round three, deep down I wonder if we have too many needs to draft a guy like Monte even though IMO he's a huge value there. I don't think Schwenke makes it to us in round 3, but the dude is probably a better fit for GB's needs than a QB.
All of this is a bit depressing. I see Ball being a great fit in GB but deep down we have too many needs to draft him where we should.
I'm predicting Ball gets drafted by the Steelers and if GB doesn't get him I hope he heads there and has the career I think he will have.TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD.

article makes a lot of sense
UW usually has one of, if not the best o-lines in the nation every single year. are running backs just benefiting from that?Comment

HOMER DISCLOSURE FROM THE PAST:
Brent Moss- He was a bad ass who ran hard. But I never thought he'd be big time due to character
Terrell Fletcher- I was fairly sure he's be a solid RB in the pros. Not star but a solid player. BALL is more powerful that Fletcher and a better player IMO
Carl Mccoloch- Touted as a Eric Dickerson type and he was very very good as a freshman. But he never got better and Dayne arrived and he was second tier at the U. I knew he would not make it in the pros
Ron Dayne- I was torn on this guy- I loved him as a Badger; my first daughter's middle name is "Dayne" spelled the same way. But while the talent was there he was playing behind several first round draft picks and his running style and lack of receiving ability and blocking ability did not make him a good fit in the pros. I hoped he would make it but never thought he's be big time. He was lazy as well.....I had friend that hung with him....and occasionally did the funny stuff with him in the summers.
John Clay- I never liked John Clay's potential as a pro; he was one of the most talented RB's ever to come out of WI in high school but his work ethic and attitude were marginal at best
Monte Ball- I think he can make it. Solid starter.....not a Hall of Famer....but we'd be fortunate to have him.TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

Do not waste a pick on a rb given the weakness of the lines.Comment

that is the valid questoin .............I was wondering how others feel
Are that devoid of talent on the DL that we have to spend either our 1st or 2nd on a DL....and maybe even two ?TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

Probably one but not both. There is some depth at DL in this draft. You probably want 2 guys, but at least one could come in the middle rounds.Originally posted by Bretsky View PostI can't run no more

I would love to see the D lineman that would have caught Kapernick on his 50+ yard TD run around Erik Walden.Originally posted by rbaloha1 View PostBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Its about filling gaps and knowing assignments.Originally posted by pbmax View Post
The Walden subtraction along with some young strong linemen that have played against spread option helps.Comment
