There you go Bretsky

Outstanding; a 7th round draft pick to be our playmaker at TE

[Freak Out]

Any time the Packers draft a Scarlett Knight I think that alone makes the draft a success.

Worked for Colston...

(and yes I do know he wasn't a TE)

[mraynrand]

The funny thing about the 7th round TE is his scouting report sounds like an assessment of Bubba Franks after last season. In other words, he's starting off his career equivalent to a broken down Bubba Franks. Here's betting that David Martin will be looking mighty good to the Packers four games in.

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.

It's like watching the 1981 Bengals.

[Badgerinmaine]

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.

Didn't he get drafted?

Nope:

And, of course, Wikipedia is always 100% accurate, so this can't be wrong

I see no evidence that they won't need a significant dose of "max protect" next season either. TE is not a major deal. Getting a 3rd WR is more important, because the TE will be busy blocking along with the FB and the RB.

We're facing some pretty good defenses in 07... schedule a lot different than 06...

[Partial]

Well, this might be the draft that I am the least fired up about the players. It seems they really placed on a premium on special teams.

Anyone notice how many INTs harrell gets for a DT... haha I thought it was pretty funny during the video...

[RashanGary]

I think the DT will play starter minutes in our DT rotation.

The RB will split carries in our RB committee.

The WR will play some offense and might get in on ST's as a gunner or emergency returner

We might have gotten our starting FB

We got a good ST player in the S from VT

We got some depth and ST help later

We have some guys who can develop into reliable core starters.

Not a flashy draft but it could be a productive one over time.

Where is our starting FB ? The RB pick, or are you saying we might convert a LB to FB and he'll start. Cuz that'd be taking the spiked Kool Aide to new levels

Which guy says the end of "max protect"?

[RashanGary]

I thought the LB was also a FB, no?

[RashanGary]

The end of max protect will come with the growth of the 3 young, promising lineman and IMO will be the biggest difference in this years offense vs last years.

Also, we have another OT who we have a chance at grooming ot replace one of the aging ones. Depth is a good thing; it prevents you from crippling yourself in the UFA market.

[Bretsky]

"" think the DT will play starter minutes in our DT rotation.

completely agree, and he might make others a bit better

The RB will split carries in our RB committee.

Agree again, and I would hope so because Morency is not the answer

The WR will play some offense and might get in on ST's as a gunner or emergency returner

Not what we were looking for in a #3 WR, but I agree he will play "some offense and special teams"

We might have gotten our starting FB

just don't see it

We got a good ST player in the S from VT

Good chance that might be true

We got some depth and ST help later

No idea if that is the case, but I like the kicker selection

We have some guys who can develop into reliable core starters.

this sounds like the remark of a politician

Not a flashy draft but it could be a productive one over time.""

agree completely
