Let's just hope a Favre fireball doesn't bounce twenty feet in the air off of his hands.

Oh, it must've been the hamstring pull during one of his chimney exercises.

In this prime, though, nobody could bring it like Santa--and you talk about a rusher--getting to all those homes in one night proves it.

There wasn't a hole lot separating the Matt Spaeths, Scott Chandlers and Ben Patricks from this guy. I think it was the correct choice waiting to get a guy like this. Quite honestly, I'm not sure any of the TEs after Olsen and Miller is a good bet to develop into an NFL starter.

Listen up, YOU!


Thompson should have found a good 1st year starter with every one of his 1st 4 picks.

He would have been the only one in the draft probably to ever do that but according to folks here he should have invented good starters at positions of need and then drafted them.

I think you're probably right.

[MasonCrosby]

so what undrafted players does TT go after? Darius Walker? Rhema McKnight? Chris Leak?

i don't think any of those three are what TT is looking for

[HarveyWallbangers]

Harris looks pretty good in his draft video, but I must say that I've never seen a guy get tackled at the 1 yard line as much as him.

[BallHawk]

Congrats to Mr. Irrelevant!

[BallHawk]

So, uh, Darius Walker, how'd that work out for you?

Idiot.

[Scott Campbell]

wow, 7th round and we haven't picked anyone from the North Pole yet! :P

Speaking of Colledge, I wonder if any other NFL teams have 2 Boise State guys on their roster?

Let's get Zabransky as a FA so we can have three.

Clark Harris

It will be a mistake if a team selects Harris any higher than the third round of the 2007 draft -- and even that might be too much of a reach.

Well we certainly didn't draft him any higher than the third round. Hopefully a good value.

Didn't he get drafted?

I do have a question.

Let's say you have a need at TE. Let's say you have one TE rated as a 1st round grade, one TE rated as a 2nd round grade, and then after that you think all of the TEs are pretty much horseshit and you'd rank all of them as 7th round grades, would you want your team to pick a TE in rounds 4, 5, or 6?

Seriously. I thought about this before the draft. TE is extremely weak. Olsen is a great receiver, but he can't block. He didn't deserve to be the #16 pick. However, both he and Miller were gone by the second round. After that, none of the TEs can run, and everybody's sleeper TE is short by TE standards.

I guess I don't have a problem with not reaching for a TE. Of course, this doesn't explain why Thompson didn't get Eric Johnson or anybody besides what they have. For that, he can be skewered. Hopefully, a TE becomes available. Otherwise, Zac Alcorn and Tory Humphrey better pull a Mark Chmura and be much improved.

You beat me to it; if the position was so weak I'd have covered the bases before the draft.

Interesting tidbit I found on kffl.com

Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Chicago Bears will likely look to trade DE Alex Brown, after drafting DE Dan Bazuin in their second-round pick.
