Colledge??? Hmm someone tell me about him???

I dont know about him but Boise State had a killer offense the last couple of years.

[Murphy37]

OT- Am I drunk, or did I just see on the bottom line that the Brewers beat the Cubs 16 to 2?

[CyclonePackFan]

NFL.com has him at the 8th tackle. At 299 lbs, he'll play guard for us.

[packrulz]

No, St. Lou just took Klopfenstein

[mngolf19]

Vikes take him with #83

[Scott Campbell]

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

Good head on his shoulders.

Settle down Miss Cleo. You missed on Reggie Bush.

Daryn Colledge
T, Boise State

War Room analysis
Strengths: Is a powerful, explosive athlete. Has the strong upper body, quick feet, balance and knee bend to excel in pass protection. Takes good angles and uses speed and reach to execute blocks downfield. Shows superb technique; always is in great position. Shows all the intangibles: Plays with a mean streak, plays hard to the whistle and has a great work ethic. Leads well on the line.

Weaknesses: Must bulk up to hold up against larger NFL defensive linemen. Needs bigger body to add strength, leverage and anchor, and to keep from getting overpowered. Doesn't create a new line of scrimmage. Level of competition is an issue.

Bottom line: Colledge is a small-school prospect without much football experience. He is raw but shows the potential that gets NFL offensive line coaches excited. In college, he showed steady improvement as a pass protector and tough run blocker. With his showing in postseason workouts, Colledge can be a late-Day 1 pick.

Dan Pompei analysis
Is an athletic prospect with quickness, balance and flexibility to play left tackle. Slides well with pass rushers. Is solid against speed rushers. Takes good angles to defenders, and uses good technique. Is patient. Lacks ideal bulk, and doesn't knock defenders off the ball. Can wall-off defenders, and reach linebackers on the second level. Has not faced a steady diet of top pass rushers.
No. 5 on Pompei's OT rankings

It's true. Prince had 2 bombs..6 total homers...They teed off....

[Fritz]

There's somebody on this board - and I don't remember who - who has been calling for the Pack to draft this guy.

He's an offensive tackle, but do I assume that they'll move him to guard?

A guy from Boise State. Dang.

But like I said, if you don't like that pick, not to worry...they'll be on the clock again pretty soon. Now we can grab a wide receiver or maybe Abdul Hodge if he's still there.

[Tony Oday]

Ok NOW take Stovall

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

Good head on his shoulders.

Settle down Miss Cleo. You missed on Reggie Bush.

Does Ms. Cleo name of twelve options too?
