2006 Live DRAFT Thread

[Rivers Rutherford]

Big receivers ain't done squat since the NFL's Competition Committee tweaked the rules a couple years ago...it's been a small man's game for the most part-guys with good, low centers of gravity that can sink their hips and run good routes. Antonio Freeman was a small, slow guy and he turned out okay. Let's go with OG Matua or OG Sims from USC or OSU respectively here at 109 I say

[Bretsky]

ok, i'm starting to wonder why we have taken two wr's who are 6'0" or less when mccarthy and tt are constantly preaching the need for taller receivers as the wco standard? unless both picks are mainly for the return game i don't see the sense in it when you still have a ton of big receivers left on the board....

I'm starting to wonder if Demetrius Williams was busted for doing drugs. Many had him rated as a round two selection.....ahead of Jennings. Here we are in round 4 and he's still not selected yet.

Ko Simpson would have should have been a Packer IMO. A great S prospect with great speed who was a playmaker in college.

[Fritz]

Bretsky, what's wrong with having two of them to duke it out? Besides, you probably want two kick returners, anyway. I like this pick. Chatman was steady - he had good hands - but he never did much.

Now let's grab that Omar What's-his-name or that big receiver (Williams?) if either is there.

am i the only one who think these espn teasers with the draftees dressed as two-bit pimps are lame as fuck?

I concur

[Deputy Nutz]

Packers on the clock once again.

Ready for a guy from a division 3 school from Canada?

[imscott72]

Watson goes to Arizona. They like their Michigan guys.

Scott, Colledge is going to play guard, whether he realizes it or not. Spitz is more a center, but that means Wells will either have competition for his job, or that Wells is projecting at guard right now for the Packers.

Yeah for some reason I totally overlooked Colledge on my list. Ok I feel better now.

[CyclonePackFan]

Traded to Philly

[Scott Campbell]

With all the guys were picking, there should be quite a few of them that don't make the final roster.

[Bretsky]

One other note on Rodgers, and I say this whether I'm right or wrong. I judge TT harsher than many, but he CONSTANTLY preaches "best available player".

The Rodgers selection was a "need" pick. No way in the world he was the highest rated player on Green Bay's board.

[FritzDontBlitz]

go to great blue north's top prospects per position, there are plenty still available. talent level may be in question, but these are the rounds where projects should be considered.

unless you're mike sherman. then you trade up to draft projects in the first round.

lol

[Rivers Rutherford]

Ha! shows you Nutz the Packers trade!

[Rastak]

Were on the clock....aye yi yi

[Deputy Nutz]

What a shock the Packers trade. I hate thompson on the second day. He picks absolute nobodies that turn out to be nobodies.

[Rastak]

Eagles got Avent.....

[Scott Campbell]

What a shock the Packers trade. I hate thompson on the second day. He picks absolute nobodies that turn out to be nobodies.

He got Montgomery, Poppinga and Whittaker last year.
