2006 Live DRAFT Thread

[Rastak]

Tory Holt is mentioning Greenway as STL pick. I've heard that speculation...I'd be disappointed if Greenway and Cutler were gone...if that happens, take Cromartie...or Deangelo Williams.

[packrulz]

Great pick at #10, he might be too Hollywood though.

[Tarlam!]

No trade, Rastak. Vikes will take Cutler if he is there or take a QB in 2nd if he is not.

If he gets past the Rams he may very well be....but I wouldn't take any chances. I like Cutler.

I like Cutler, too. I just don't know if they can reel him in...,

[Deputy Nutz]

Where is Greenway going to go?

What about Winston Justice?

I am suprised that Buffalo went Safety in the first place. The had to upgrade their offensive line and they still have a lot of questions at QB.

Rastak, I like Cutler too. But won't be upset if they take Greenway, Cromartie. And then get a QB in 2nd. I think they can do so much just keeping their picks.

Dan Wetzel

Add Yahoo Sports' Dan Wetzel to the growing list of people who like the Packers' selection of A.J. Hawk.

Writes Wetzel: "The Pack go with A.J. Hawk. Although we generally hate it when analysis runs along racial stereotypes – you know, athletic black players, gritty white guys – Hawk does kind of fit the old-time Packers mold. He could have played in the Ice Bowl. But Hawk is not the fifth pick in the draft because he is smarter or harder working than other players. He is the fifth pick because he is an exceptional athlete and physical talent, too. This guy can flat-out play.

"All of that said, Hawk is going to be one popular guy in Wisconsin."

Good point Nutz, I'd consider him too at 17.

Ohio State middle backers

It's uncertain at this point whether A.J. Hawk will play middle or weak-side linebacker for the Green Bay Packers. He played on the weak side as a senior at Ohio State and general manager Ted Thompson said that probably was where Hawk would start out in Green Bay.

But if the Packers drafted Hawk to play inside, they're bucking history if they expect him to be an all-time great and a future Hall of Famer.

The last big-name inside backer from Ohio State was Andy Katzenmoyer, who was drafted in the first round, 28th overall, by the New England Patriots in 1999. Katzenmoyer didn't pan out.

Other inside backers from Ohio State included Pepper Johnson, drafted by the New York Giants in the second round in 1986; Randy Gradishar, selected 14th by Denver in 1974; Tom Cousineau, the first choice by Buffalo in 1979; and Chris Spielman, a second-round pick by Detroit in 1988.

Johnson, Gradishar and Spielman were all very good players, but there wasn't a special player in the bunch.
