2006 Live DRAFT Thread

I like what this guy on NFL Network said.."You consistently see winning organizations going with character guys over talent."

It rings true.

I see Vikings picking QB Clemens from Oregon in this draft.

[Deputy Nutz]

Do they trade again???

[RashanGary]

I just found him Nutz....Looks like a good zone OL.

Man, we are kicking everybody's ass in this division.

We have Hawk plus two seconds and three thirds. And we pick before Minnesota, who'd have to trade up quick and give up a pick to get ahead.

The more players you draft, the better your chances.

With all due respect you've made one pick, how can you say that?

I say that because it's statistically true that teams with more picks do better than those with fewer. Trading up to get that guy you just have to have does not work out often enough to warrant the risk.

I also trust TT's ability to find talent. Especially in the middle and later rounds.

Besides, you could logically argue that all this draft hou-ha is just that. We won't know how good any of the drafts are until about three years down the road. So I'm having fun with it, and I like TT's method much more than Shermy's. Those drafts were so disappointing.

Hey you'll be 100% right if he nails a couple or three guys.....

[RashanGary]

I like Chris Kuper a little later.

I agree Esoxx. With the 51st pick.

Daryn Colledge OT 6’5 298 Boise St.
By: Robert Davis

With Boise’s recent success, they have started to get more media attention. Now that people are paying attention to them, they see that the left tackle for the Broncos is as good as they come in college football. After redshirting as a freshman, Colledge moved into the starting lineup in 2002 at left tackle, and there has not been anyone else to start at that spot since then. He has started all 52 games during his career.

Daryn Colledge is one of the best left tackle prospects for this draft. He has excellent athleticism and can mirror rushers’ moves and keep them off his quarterback. He’s also plays with a lot of strength on the field, and can dominate at the point of attack. He’s the complete package as a tackle prospect. Colledge has also displayed excellent durability in college, starting every game he has played in.

Even though he plays with power, Colledge could stand to gain a few pounds. The bulk will help him better handle the wear and tear of a full season in the NFL. Of lesser concern is that he hasn’t faced many ends with the size to give him fits as a physical presence, and he’ll need to show the ability to handle guys his size.

This year’s offensive tackle pool is ridiculously deep. Outside of D'Brickashaw Ferguson, there is a very talented second tier of offensive lineman, and they could go in any order. Colledge falls into that group. He could hear his name called near the end of the first round, but shouldn't last long into the second if he does.

a tackle?

[Deputy Nutz]

I called that one boys

[RashanGary]

Wow....Good call........

[CyclonePackFan]

8. Daryn Colledge, Boise State (6-4 3/8, 299; 5.05)
Colledge had a complete workout at the Combine. He ran 5.05 in the 40 twice, had a 32½-inch vertical jump, a 9-foot-2 broad jump, 4.63 short shuttle, 7.40 three-cone drill and did 21 lifts. He played high school football in Alaska and also lettered in baseball and track (shot-put). He redshirted in 2001 then started 52 games in a row at left tackle and did not allow a sack after his freshman year. He has long arms (33 inches), but not sure how much more he can weigh above 305. Had a good week at the Senior Bowl on the field. He wasn't so good in the interviews with teams. Like most offensive linemen, he needs to get stronger.

[Deputy Nutz]

Good pick. Tackle that we are going to play at guard.

Good head on his shoulders.
