he apparently doesn't see much difference between 2nd and 3rd round in terms of talent.

[Bretsky]

I'm a bit surprised TT moved back so far in the second round,,,,anyone else feel the same?

Nope; all the WR's I think he was interested in were gone as well as the TE

And he figured at worst he'd get a RB later on

Honestly nothing TT does surprises me

[SD GB fan]

TT only doesnt like to trade down in the 1st. but he did the same last year. i think he has a huge list of candidates for the 2nd and 3rd rounds so its okay if some players get drafted.

Yeah..He must have felt there was a little drop and that a bunch of the guys were all the same. I did think it was strange though. Taht was a big drop. He couldnt' have had 20 guys all rated equally but you never know I guess.

[BallHawk]

6 picks away. Less than an hour and we get to hear "WTF" over and over

Maybe this time if the BPA is a QB TT will take him

That's just sick. I don't even want to think about that.

From PFT:

Adam Schefter confirms that the Pats are out of the running for receiver Randy Moss.

That leaves us and these questions.

1. Does Moss want to be a Packer?
2. Will Davis get off his horse and realize he isn't getting top value in return?
3. Does TT want Moss?

4: what are the salary cap ramifications>??

It's because from about pick 40 to pick 99 there isn't that much difference in talent.

I think you're right....that must have been his thought proccess....

I like Dan Bazuin from Central Michigan. He was one of the most productive DE's every year for the last 3 years.

I wonder what TT is like in the draft room? What I would pay to be a fly on the wall....

[GoPackGo]

we need to go pittman or bush next

Pittman would fit the scheme perfectly.

Lions take....



Ryan Kalil
OC | (6'2", 299, 4.96) | USC

Scouts Grade: 90

Flags: (B: BULK/SIZE) Lacks size/bulk for position Selected by: Carolina Panthers
Round: 2
Pick (Overall): 27(59)

Strengths: An experienced and battle-tested center prospect with very good consistency. Does a good job with his first step and takes solid overall angles. Explodes out of his stance with good leverage and shows the initial pop to knock defenders back onto heels. He shows above average overall mobility. Is quick and mobile enough to consistently reach the second-level and hit the moving target in the running game. He is very effective on pulls, traps and screens. He displays good quickness in his short-set in pass pro. Plays under control, shows good balance, and is able to shuffle laterally with very good effectiveness. While he lacks ideal size, he has room on his frame to get bigger. He shows good upper body power for a smaller center. He has been extremely efficient at the highest collegiate level. Also has been a durable player throughout his career. A leader and hard worker with very good overall intangibles. Is technically sound.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal bulk and lower body strength. Needs to add some bulk to his frame and continue to improve his base. He will have some trouble anchoring versus bigger, stronger bull rushers. Almost always in position but will struggle to sustain blocks at times.

Overall: Kalil served as USC's backup center as a true freshman in 2003, seeing limited action in six games. He then started all 13 games at center during the 2004 season. Kalil once again started every game (13) for the Trojan's in 2005 and was named to the All-Pac-Ten First Team. In 2006 Kalil was a unanimous All-Pac 10 first team selection after starting every game (13) for the third straight season.
Kalil emerged as one of the most efficient and consistent centers in the nation over the course of his first two seasons (2004-'05) as a fulltime starter at USC -- and he took his game to the next level as a senior in 2006. His lack of ideal size and strength are obviously somewhat concerning, but he continues to add bulk to his frame and he proved during postseason workouts that he can maintain his quickness with additional weight. In our opinion, Kalil is the most complete center prospect in the 2007 NFL draft class. He is a proven commodity with great intangibles and enough upside to warrant first-round consideration.
