[Bretsky]

Thanks to Rastak for the thread, Madtown for the forum, and to Harv, Bretsky, SC, Fritz, Merlin (the list is long and I can't remember everybody) and all your research and commentary. Your work made this draft very, very cool. The spot-on analysis, player bios, and all the other commentary was sooo much better than ESPN and the NFL network.

Thanks.

YES, great job everybody and thanks for all !

Go Pack

Just to give everyone a heads up, I will be doing an Official Winners and Losers Special on the 2006 NFL Draft.

Well another end of the most entertaining weekend in football. I love the NFL draft!

Just to let everyone know, Packerrats.com kicked ass this weekend during the draft. Mad got the homepage set up just in time and it was pretty terrific. this was just a huge weekend for us and hopefully all those that decided to poke their head in here to see what was going on decided that they liked what they saw and have decided to stay for a little while.

i'm in agreement with nutz.

great board, glad to be in the midst of guys who actually know how to speak in complete sentences without using the word "idiot" like its a punctuation mark.

BENGALS CRITICIZED FOR COLLECTING TURDS

The recent addition of USC defensive end Frostee Rucker and Florida State linebacker A. J. Nicholson has prompted one high-level league source to question the continued collection of players of questionable character by Bengals coach Marvin Lewis.

"What the f--- are they doing?" said the source. "Rucker and Nicholson? Give me a break. They are sabotaging the organization by picking bad players like [Odell] Thurman, [Chris] Henry, and those two."

Nicholson was suspended by the Seminoles prior to the Orange Bowl after an alleged sexual assault. Rucker had been removed from the draft boards of multiple teams for reasons, as we hear it, unrelated to his performance or skill.

The Bengals selected Thurman and Henry in 2005. Thurman was benched for the early portion of a game during his rookie season, and there were constant whispers and rumblings of repeated violations of team rules. He was actually kicked off of the Georgia team during his freshman year due to multiple disciplinary issues, including a bar fight. Henry was arrested in December for possession of marijuana, and he faces far more serious charges of felony assault in Florida after allegedly pointing a gun at a group of folks in the offseason.

Meanwhile, there continue to be concerns that Lewis is showing excessively favorable treatment to receiver Chad Johnson, who recently scored an extension to a contract that still had four years left on it -- even after reportedly sparking a locker room brouhaha during halftime of the team's playoff loss to the Steelers.
