Official 2007 Live Draft Thread

[Merlin]

And with the 16th overall pick, the Packers select Justin Harrell. LMFGDAO........hahahahahahaha

BPA? NOT~!

Let's draft the only position we are DEEP IN GOOD PLAYERS IN!!!!

We didn't draft for NEED
We didn't draft BPA

WTF did we even select for??????

The guy played 2-3 games last season and sat with an injury. Those types of players ARE NOT FIRST ROUND PICKS!

I am officially done watching the draft, just like in 2005 when we drafted Rodgers 1s, I am going to drink beer and burn an effigy to Ted Thompson...

FIRE THOMPSON NOW!

[swede]

Did a little research on Harrell and found this.


Last man to wear No. 92, Reggie White's jersey. "That was for a reason," Angelo said. "Very talented guy. In the end, he could be the best DT." Would have started for three seasons but suffered a torn biceps in Week 3 of 2006 and had surgery. "He's a two-gap nose tackle," said Ross. "Not going to give you a lot of pass rush, range and stuff. If you want somebody just to sit in there and plug it up in the middle, he's the guy." Finished with 82 tackles (14 for loss) and four sacks. His Wonderlic score of 24 was high among top D-tackles. "Good use of hands to shed, good short pursuit, real tough and doesn't take downs off," one scout said. "More of a bull rusher and a pocket pusher."

Sounds like Gilbert.

[Bretsky]

Harrell can play! He is a force.

How good is he at catching and running the ball?????????

And returning.

Who f'n cares. We don't need a receiver at that spot that won't even make the team over the guys we have.

Wow

We have two starting calibur WR's. That's it. Then we have #5 guys and a player that may or may not get reinstated.

We need a WR a hell of a lot more than we needed another DL.

Denver gave up their 3rd and 6th to move up 5 spots. Wish we could have gotten a 3rd and 6th to move pack to their pick.

Broncos move up....but for whom?

jarvis moss

[Rastak]

Broncos take Jarvis Moss! A first round grade DE....



Jarvis Moss
DE | (6'6", 250, 4.7) | FLORIDA

Scouts Grade: 92



Strengths: A tall, rangy athlete. Displays very good first-step quickness and top-end speed. He shows the ability to turn the corner on a consistent basis and closes quickly as a pass rusher. Extremely fluid and smooth; he changes directions without losing much time in transition. He shows the ability to get offensive tackle's off-balance with his quick double moves. He plays with a good motor and will make plays from behind in pursuit. He does play with decent leverage and will try to stay low when taking on bigger blockers in the running game.

Weaknesses: He's undersized and gets rag-dolled by bigger blockers that get into his body. He tries to stay low and take on blockers when teams are running at him, but he simply lacks the base to hold ground. He comes with some baggage in terms of durability and character alerts; staff infection in 2005 caused him to lose nearly 40 pounds and one-game suspension in 2006.

Overall: Moss battled hernia problems prior to the start of the 2003 season, dressed for three total contests appearing in one game against Florida A&M (9/13) when he registered five total tackles, but dealt with some more pelvic-area muscle trouble throughout the year and received a medical redshirt. He returned in 2004 after practicing some at linebacker in the preseason but only appeared in the season opener against Eastern Michigan (9/11) as a redshirt freshman. Moss then played in the final 11 games during Florida's 12-game 2005 season, mostly on third-down, and recorded 25 total tackles including nine for loss, 7.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery. Moss started 13 of 14 games in 2006, missing the Western Carolina game (11/18) because of suspension, and registered 56 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and two blocked kicks.
Moss makes the leap to the NFL after turning in his best season as a junior in 2006. He needs to get bigger and stronger in order to properly defend the run in the NFL. He also comes with some minor character and durability "alerts" that could make some teams uneasy. In all reality, though, Moss is unlikely to slip out of the first round because he possesses the frame, speed and athletic ability to eventually emerge as an impact every-down starter in the NFL. Moss could grow into a role as a 4-3 defensive end or 3-4 rush-linebacker, depending on the team that drafts him. Either way, Moss should contribute immediately as a pass rusher.

Re: DT

IF your gonna draft a DT in the first rd, he had better be able to collapse the pocket. This kid can't and never will.

How do you know this? Have you seen him play?

Re: DT

IF your gonna draft a DT in the first rd, he had better be able to collapse the pocket. This kid can't and never will. It's his major weakness. The reason the Bears DT's are so good is because they excel at inside pressure. Any idiot knows, QB's hate inside pressure.

How the hell do you know he will never be able collapse the pocket? Maybe because TT drafted him?

[woodbuck27]

Safety is a not a need for me. I feel underwood and culver can get the job done.

I was exspecting Quinn, WR, TE, or hell, a damn trade. Maybe even a CB. WTF is a DT doing in round one on a team full of them.

This is the one area where we had some strength.

So TT doubles down on the DL. He doesn't even go DE.

I'm not at all surprized.

I'm way past being pissed off at this joke we call our GM.

Everybody knows the Turtle likes to trade down; I'm sure he was contacted

[Merlin]

The Packers with the #1 overall pick in the 2008 draft select....

[LL2]

You guys are underestimating how good Robinson could be, and Jennings in his second year, not to mention the young guys we have that played well in the Bears game. DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE. The offense will be there if the o line continues improving. if Brett has time, he can make a star out of ANY of the receivers we already have. Period.

I hope your right.

The same way people know Adrian Peterson will get hurt next year I guess....

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

We'll see with Harvell. For people who know about him, is he a player who is a first year starter or a development type player?

Yes, that is the few times he was healthy. He's a run stuffer plain and simple. He'll hold the point of attack. He's a solid 2nd or 3rd rd pick cause your gonna pull him on 3rd down. The problem is NFL teams do pass on 1st and 2nd down. So your gonna get outside pressure from our DE's and QB's are just gonna step up and throw.
