  • A.J. Hawk, Greg Jennings, Justin Harrell

    When was the last time that we had young guys like this that we can acctually say "They'll probably be really good and they have a chance to be special"?

    I think Hawk played about equal to Barnett overall but he showed signs of being a tougher, more impactfull player. Hawk playing Better than a pretty good LB in his prime side by side says pretty big things in my opinion. I think there is a chance that he comes in next year and is a legit superstud playmaker. If that happens we're due for a nice increase in our win total.

    Jennings was on pace for 1000 yards before his unusual contorted injury. The way that injury happened was sort of fluky in my opinion. Anyway, he showed promise to be another Donald Driver. It would not suprise me if we had 2 borderline probowl WR's next season. 1. Driver 2. Jennings

    Harrell was considered the 2nd best DL by the scouts who Bob McGinn interviewed and that was coming off a season where he only played 3 games. Some of those scouts said they liked him better than Amobi Okoye, a top 10 pick. He is regarded as a mamouth player who plays whistle to whistle and never takes a play off. Dylan Tomlinson on 107.5 said he saw him in person and he is a monster of a DT. Forget about all of his physical skills, his coaches consider him a leader and one of the hardest workers. He got himself in shape and stayed in shape after being out after week 3. Some guys can't stay in shape after they plaeyd the full season. This kid has a chance to be a superstud and the top ntoch work ethic that you rarely find in 300 pounders to go with it.


    I don't think we've prospects with as much likelyhood to be dominate as these 3 in a long time. Jennings and Hawk have already shown they belong in the NFL while Harrel is hte most unproven. That said, I think we have 3 guys who could be true NFL difference makers and with that in mind, I'm VERY excited for this season to kick off. Who did we add? How did we get better? Look at the roster. We have a roster who has a good chance to take a huge step and these 3 are the likely leaders of the next generation pack.

    At first I thought this thread title was just a summary of your screen names.

    I do agree there is some nice young talent on the team. Actually, speaking of screen names, I do think Nick Collins is another player you can put in that "chance to be dominant" category. He seemed to figure things out towards the end of last year. His third season should be his time to shine and when most players really take a step up.

      If he adds that then 3 of the 4 screen names will be in this subject.

        For some reason, I think Collins is doomed for inconsistancy. He could make some big time plays though. He plays very tough for a safety.

        I watched the Buffalo game because it's the only one I have taped and 3 things really stood out

        1. Collins made a big time hit on the RB in that game. It was impressive.
        2. Ahman Green was a stud that day.
        3. The oline was worse than I thought. They were just beat to hell all game. If it wasn't for Favres ability to get rid of the ball in 1 second, we'd have been more screwed than we were.

        I think the 3 I listed have the best chacne to be probowlers of the young guys. Collins just seems too hot and cold for me although I do think he is a long term starter and will garner some fear over time.

          The most positive thing from watching that game was how bad the Oline sucked. They were so pathetic taht it re-enforced my theory that the Oline was the biggest problem in the redzone last year and they are the position group that I htink has the best chance to take a huge leap from within.

            After supporting a string of 2nd round Snapper Picks, I was fully expecting to see Brandon Jackson.......but he bailed out.

            He must think Jackson's going to stink

              Growth (improvement) on the OL is the key to any success this season.

              Without that we are doomed.

              The QB needs to have options and that won't be served if the RB,FB and TE are needed for his protection as much as we saw last season.

              Having said that it's also necessary for these position players to block well.

              Favre has to run out of the pocket alot. He needs to have his RB and TE get open for the quick gain through the air.

                YOUR THEORY?

                right.

                  a month ago you said he was "washed up". Seems to me that a RB that can run behind a line that "sucked" is worth every penny of an 8mil bonus...

                  He ran in that game behind a line that absolutely SUCKED. How did Morency do? How do you think Morency will do in 2007 running behind that same line if they don't improve?

                  Justin, this is what I've been talking about all offseason. Be careful, the next thing you know is you'll be labeled as a "pessimist".

                    Collins lacks instinct imo and a S who alcks that will never be a stud imo. Butler oozed instincts.

                      There aren't many Butler's, though. Collins can be somewhat as good as Butler. Not as good, but close to it.

                        He could be or he may not end up being close either but as of now, he is a long ways away from being close to 36.

                          I've been saying it since the Philly/NY Giants playoff game. When the season was done, I pegged them as the weak link to the offense.

                          Most said TE, WR and RB. I said Oline.

                            Well, to be honest, Hawk was a #5 overall pick...which is much higher than we have had for well over a decade. Is it shocking to you that we would consider a #5 pick with such high regard? I'm sure any other GM would've found a pretty talented guy with the #5 overall pick.

                            Harrell hasn't proven any more on the field yet than Jamal Reynolds or Ahmad Carroll did after they were drafted...and he is still potentially capable of turning out to be as much of a bust. I'm not saying he will...I like the pick. However, to claim he has a chance to be special is useless...because any top 20 pick at this point is viewed in the same light regardless of team.

                              From what the scouts said and eveyrthing I hear, I think Harrell has a better chance than any taken in the 13-20 range from this draft. His motor, drive, size and effectiveness are all things that make me think he stands a better than usual chance. Sure, he could flop. I just think he has the physical ability and the work ethic to go with it much like Hakw and Jennings so I say he succeeds.
