Grade the Draft

[Patler]

Every day should be "Fire Campen Day", but traditionally it is held the day after the first regular season game, during which the OL looks out of sync and totally unprepared for the life in the NFL.

There should be a "Fire Campen Season" lasting from then until the bye week. It is usually about the bye week that the O-line pulls their collective head out of their collective posterior head insertion orifice.

C - This has the markings of a draft that won't pan out: B...has the markings of a draft that might just pan out.

1) Jones - I think he will be pretty good. me too...he's got very quick reactions.

2) Lacy - I think he will make Justin Harrell look like a specimen of perfect health. (I really hope I'm wrong, but the more I read the less I like him). god let's hope not. i'm gonna run with the crowd that think he might be oroy.

4a,b) OL projects are only useful if there is a decent OL coach. The Packers didn't draft a good coach, so I expect nothing from them. based on nothing more than what i've heard and read bakhtiari has a chance to be a starter on the left side considering how marginal it was last season.

4c) Franklin - an upgrade from Harris, but nothing earth shattering. harris showed something last season so an upgrade of that is very positive.

5a) Hyde - The best we can hope for is a cheaper replacement for Bush. that's hardly the best we can hope for. i hope is he turns out to be a 10yr pro-bowler.

5b) Boyd - One of those DL guys that stick around for a year or 2 but never amount to much.
6) Palmer - camp body or ST guy
7a) Johnson - Good 7th round flier, maybe the next DD. Will take a year or two to develop. would be terrific and he much faster.

7b) Dorsey - Worth a shot at that point, but not expecting anything.
7c) Barrington - Yikes, keep him away from anything that has wheels, including the kid bikes at camp.

let's see how it goes.
