Bulldog, where'd you see the 4.3 40 for CJ? I thought he was a 4.4 to 4.5 guy. And of course, all these times are crap until the combine, where the clock of truth does not lie, or have a quick thumb on the stop watch.

But I'll agree with you on the big point -- CJ looks very, very special every time I see him play.

[Freak Out]

It seems like CJ just catchs everything thrown at him. Low, high, short, long, held, you name it he can grab it.
An every down back like the Okie would be very nice but......

[Tyrone Bigguns]

I don't think you cam pass on a talent like AD, if you have the chance to get him.

Tyrone never passes the crack pipe, but he passes on AD.

[Holofamer]

Garrett Wolfe is 5'7" and 175 lbs. That's why he won't get drafted until the 3rd round, if not later.

[BallHawk]

AD-No way

TG- No way

CJ- maybe(I had a dream we drafted him last night)

My pick would be to trade down in the teens and draft Kenny Irons out of Auburn.

How happy are any of these guys going to be to come to Green Bay? I'm afraid of drafting a player high who hates it here and wants to get out as soon as possible. Peterson and CJ being from southern schools probably won't help that case. That's the thing I loved about the Hawk pick, that he apparently loves it in Green Bay so we can probably have him as long as we want to pay him.

[MJZiggy]

Bart Starr and Brett Favre are from southern schools and they did ok here...as have a LOT of other southern boys. I think the only position where it really matters is P/K

Personally, I want Joe Thomas. A LT that will protect Rodgers for 10 years is a good thing!

Thomas hasn't looked that good this year. Plus, if the packers get a top ten pick, how unexciting is it to draft an O-lineman? Blah! We need difference makers in the skill positions, WR, RB, DE, DT, or CB. With our running scheme we can get the smaller agile O-lineman later in the draft.

Re: draft

I think the first 2 are a mute point. TT cast the die with Rogers and you can't waste another pick at QB. Drafting WR's this high has'nt been a wise thing to do either. We have to go RB no matter what and I think there will be some real good ones available.

How? Larry Fitzgerald?

I agree with your assessment of Joe Thomas. I'll let you guys know how he looks tomorrow.

I'd be alright wtih an OL in the top 10 if he was gonna be dominant and reshape the offense.

B. Edwards on Cleveland has also been coming around.

Yes we do need to start thinking about replacing one of are tackles soon, but I would rather take someone in the 2nd and let him develop behind cilffton for a year. In the 1st round I want to see a DE or a WR.

Obviously, that's the exception rather than the rule. For every 1 who pans out, 5 don't. There are true and tried rules that most NFL teams follow. Traditionally, drafting WR's and LB's in the early 1st round is frowned upon. Hawk is a perfect example. Yes, it's early but he is'nt a force at all. In fact for the most part he's making tackles 5-7 yds off the line of scrimage.

Why do you want a receiver in the first that develops for a year behind Driver and Jennings instead of a tackle developing behind Clifton?
