you have to be kidding me, ESPN breaks for commercial every time the Pack is on the clock.
They did that yesterday for both the 2nd and 3rd round picks. It's utterly ridiculous. That's 3 rounds in a row then.
My guess. Packers take Sid Finch.

Well there's a surprise. I'd have never seen that coming...
Awh, come on - it's just the details. Life's in the details you know.
What do you think so far, MJ? Are you drinking the koolaid?
I wasn't giving you a hard time, it's just with all the talk about his offseason training...
Forget the kool-aid this morning. I'm into the chocolate. Later it will be the bottle of rum, but I can add a little fruit punch flavor kool-aid to it.

Nice, we picked up Barbre I remember seeing about him.

Why would the Seahawks trade their best WR to a team in their division?

I believe I called the Barbre pick for green bay a few weeks ago.

Allen Barbre
OT | (6'4", 300, 4.84) | MISSOURI SOUTHERN
Scouts Grade: 66
Strengths: Shows a quick first step and can beat defenders to the point of attack. Plays with a mean streak and works to the whistle. Takes sound angles to blocks, generally plays under control in space and can get into position at the second level. Shows good range, can get around the corner when asked to pull and is big enough to engulf linebackers. Shows good lateral mobility when run blocking ands can reach defenders lined up outside him. Gets into pass set quickly and can ride edge rushers past the pocket when extends arms.
Weaknesses: Plays with a narrow base, loses balance at times and has some problems sustaining blocks. Lacks ideal lower body strength, frequently plays too high and is going to have problems driving defenders off the ball. While has quick feet and flashes the ability to redirect in pass protection footwork is somewhat inconsistent, struggles to change directions quickly and is vulnerable to double moves. Bends at the waist rather than the knees and can get pushed back into the pocket. Played at a small school and there is some concern about ability to make the jump to the NFL.
Overall: Babre began the 2003 campaign as a reserve but moved into the starting lineup for the final six contests of his true freshman season, including the last five games at left tackle. In 2004, he did not play in the season opener and did not start the second game, but then regained his starting job for the rest of the year. Babre started all 10 games at left tackle in 2005 and was named to the All-MIAA first-team. In 2006, Barbre once again started every game (11) at left tackle earning multiple Division II All-American accolades.
Barbre is a small-school prospect who has the natural ability to develop into a contributor at guard and/or tackle in the NFL. He is a bit undersized and has the mobility to fit a scheme such as the Colts or Broncos. That said; he needs to get stronger at the point of attack and refine his technique. Following a tremendous showing at the combine, Barbre projects as an early-Day 2 pick.
Good pick. They need depth there, and I really liked this kid for our team while researching.
Nice! Except for Jones, every one of our picks has been a guy that I liked better than projections.
