2006 Live DRAFT Thread

Colledge will play guard. So far, we've addressed the two GLARING needs on this team. Keep it comin' TT. Would love to see Williams, Youboty or Pope at the next pick coming soon...

[Anti-Polar Bear]

if thompson doesnt take a WR with the #52, he deserves to be fired right on the spot.

He should go LB/D with 52 if best available. There will be WR's in round three.

Hell. Donald Driver was a 6th rounder

since you are kidda like my personal research grue, mind finding the data for recievers drafted in the 6th rd who turns out productive careers? what percentage of 6th rounders became sucessful the last 10 years?

i bet you will find that the odds of sucess for 6th rd recievers arent good. Driver was a find, but Pack got lucky.

[Bretsky]

I like our pick. "One of the fastest OL in college football" That's what you need to be a good guard. Speed and the ability to pull. The other good thing is that he doesn't have much experience. If he's this good when not playing for long, it means he has a lot of room to grow with coaching.

If we were drafting OG I'm surrpised we didn't draft Chris Chester from Oklahoma

Watch for Chester with our 2nd 2nd, then Williams, Nance, Hass, or Stovall, and Eslinger.

I think we're doing well solidifying Favre's ass =).

IF there's one thing I've learned about TT last year he's nearly impossible to read and predict his exact player. We got round #1 correct; we'll be lucky if we predict another one correctly the rest of the day.

Lol with Rock Gullickson at the helm of our training good ol' Daryn will be putting up 30's in now time =).

Sliding your hand up and down doesn't count as a repetition.

[Deputy Nutz]

Keep your eyes on Fred Matua from USC in the second or possibly third round.

I can tell you what, Colledge has to be better than Julius Conston.

Colledge to start at tackle

Daryn Colledge said the Packers told him that they'd start him out at tackle, but viewed him as a swing lineman.

Packers pick Colledge

The Packers selected offensive lineman Daryn Colledge with the first of their two second-round draft picks. Colledge stands 6-foot-4 1/2, weighs 301 pounds and runs the 40-yard dash in 5.05 seconds. He was a four-year starter at left tackle for Boise State, but has been projected as a guard by at least some teams. He's a native of North Pole, Alaska.

[Fritz]

Let me be the first to state the obvious: the nickname ought to be Darryl "I went to" Colledge.

Or maybe Darryl "I can't spell" Colledge.

ESPN sucks. They talk over picks. Who gives a crap about Ernie Accorsi about to retire when the Pack is on the board? Cut him off and let Gene Washington announce the pick.

They're also saying Darryl "I can't spell" Colledge needs to gain some weight and get stronger. Maybe he can get in touch with Barry Bonds.

How about Stovall? He's 6'5 222. Damn nice size for a WR...I really want a WR with this pick. Or Chester for C..

Daryn Colledge
OT | (6'4", 299, 5.04) | BOISE STATE

Scouts Grade: 79 Selected by: Green Bay Packers
Round: 2
Pick (Overall): 15(47)
(OT) Daryn Colledge - BOISE STATEStrengths: Is an impressive athlete. Has quick feet, great speed and is fluid. He lacks massive bulk and base, but he is a powerful player. He is a workout warrior in the weight room. Shows explosive pop. Has a powerful upper body and can jar defenders initially with his hand punch. He shows a quick set in pass pro. Is technically sound; uses good footwork, balance and hand placement. Is a natural knee bender and rarely is off-balance. Does not need to over-extend to reach the corner vs. speed rusher and he shows the consistent ability to redirect vs. the double move. Impressive lateral movement skills. Fires off the LOS with good leverage as a run blocker. Takes good angles and has great mobility as a reach and downfield blocker. Typically is in great position. Is a fist fighter type, who uses feet, technique and power to make up for what he lacks in size. He's a hard worker with a mean streak. Will fight to finish and plays hard to the whistle.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal size. Has just decent height and marginal bulk. Has a narrow base. Is powerful but lacks the mass and brute strength to engulf defenders at the POA. He won't create a new LOS in the running game. He needs to play with great leverage in order to anchor vs. the bull rush and he still will get overpowered by bigger, stronger DL in the NFL. He has not played against elite DI-A competition and must prove himself in the post-season.

Overall: Colledge enrolled at Boise State in January of 2001 and participated in spring drills. He redshirted during the 2001 season before taking over as a fulltime starter at left tackle in 2002. He started all 13 games as a redshirt freshman in 2002 and all 14 games as a sophomore in 2003. As a junior in 2004, Colledge was named first-team All-WAC while starting every game at left tackle for the Broncos. He started every game at left tackle as a senior in 2005, as well. Colledge is one of the most underrated offensive line prospects in the 2006 draft class. He lacks ideal bulk and lower body strength. He also needs to play with more consistent leverage in order to anchor versus powerful bull rushers in the NFL. However, Colledge is a terrific athlete with explosive power and the mean streak to match. He is one of the best pure pass protectors in the country and he also is a fist-fighting run blocker who great positioning, toughness and upper body power to make up for what he lacks in bulk and lower body strength. If Colledge proves himself at the combine and in a post-season all-star game, he will solidify his status as a late-Day 1 prospect in the 2006 draft.
