Anybody else feel disappointed every year once the draft starts? Mainly because it's so time-consuming. The night before it's like the night before Christmas for adults. Then the draft happens, and you mostly wait around all day or are bitching about who was picked by your team because the guy wasn't slated to go there by the experts.
Yea, it drags on and on....yet it's still interesting. An odd thing for sure.
It does make for a long day..Lots of commercials and BS from the commentators..
Salisbury is a pain in the ass commenting on how it doesn't matter as the Bears should win the NFC Central by 3 games regardless
Young also gave us some more preaching about not getting offense for the QB earlier; he's did that quite a bit the past couple years.

Strengths: A fine athlete with good height and frame to add bulk. He shows good initial burst and gets into his routes quickly. He possesses excellent timed speed and will flash the ability to stretch the seam as a pass-catcher. Very instinctive as a route runner. Knows how to read coverages and is savvy when working versus man-to-man. He shows the soft hands to make tough catches in traffic. Catches the ball well on the run and will avoid it getting into his pads. Does a good job of catching in traffic and gets upfield quickly. Gives a good effort as a blocker. A wall-off type blocker that gets out of his stance quickly, displays good feet and generally does a good job of getting in position. He also has served as Miami's long-snapper and has some value in that regard if necessary
Weaknesses: Lacks ideal bulk and needs to get bigger. Also must improve his overall strength. He does not show an explosive upper body power or the base to anchor. Too much of a "finesse" blocker. Will struggle to generate a push when working in-line at the next level. Excellent timed speed but needs to prove he can become a consistent seam-stretching threat. The vast majority of his collegiate production came from short-to-intermediate routes. He has of a history of durability issues, including a shoulder injury in 2003, a broken wrist in 2004 and a concussion in 2005.
Overall: Olsen originally signed with Notre Dame and attended some preseason practices there before enrolling at Miami in time for the 2003 fall semester. He was redshirted after suffering a shoulder injury on the scout team. In 2004 Olsen appeared in nine games (two starts), missing three contests because of a broken wrist. He finished the year with 16 catches for 275 yards (17.2 average) and one touchdown and was also the team's long snapper before the wrist injury. Olson started all 12 games in 2005 and earned honorable mention All-ACC honors after catching 31 passes for 451 yards (14.5 average) and four touchdowns. In 2006, he started all 11 of the 12 games he played in (missed Duke due to concussion) and recorded 38 catches for 444 yards (11.7 average) and one touchdown, garnering first team All-ACC accolades.
Olsen needs to improve his bulk, strength and overall blocking skills. While he has proven to be a reliable weapon in the past, Olsen dropped some passes he should have caught as a junior and he also missed a game due to a concussion. With all that said; Olsen's athleticism and potential playmaking ability as a receiver makes him the premier tight end prospect in the 2007 class.

Pittman, Irons, Leonard, Brandon Jackson, Darius Walker. Hoping we can get one of those guys.
