I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WE GOT THE BEST OLB AND THE BEST MLB!

Re: I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE WE GOT THE BEST OLB AND THE BEST M

What do you think is a good time to evaluate weather a draft is good? 1? 2? 3?...10 years afterward?

3 years is about right. Look at walker.

I have to agree about this thread though, Pack D is loaded now. We can have a few not make it and still be straight.

The unit would be better like this:

Barnett, Hawk, Peterson

or

Barnett, Hawk, Arrington

Arrington and Peterson would look kind of funny back there wearing different team uniforms.

well put, scott. arrington and peterson didn't want to play in green bay, should we just leave the two lb slots vacant since we didn't them? i think not

i have never considered barnett a mlb, he plays more like an olb and i think his natural position is outside. i say give hodge the middle and move barnett to middle on passing downs when only 1 lb is on the field. that way, you have the two young guys contributing right away and yet you still have barnett's experience in the nickel and dime packages. mlb is an instinctive position, you have to have the mindset to take on a lead blocker in short yardage situations - olb's tend to lack that when they make the switch to the middle. if you're gonna put your three best on the field and play to their strengths i suggest hawk|hodge|barnett as the best option.

its time to stop the whining, guys. we have what we have. let's move on to minicamps

That was exactly what I was thinking...look how many guys we have for our d-line. 13 guys or something like that.

I think Thompson tried to get cute in his 1st draft. He had his scouts reminding him to take "football players" and I think he just took the best players instead of the best projects for the most part.

need i remind you guys that 9 of the 11 picks taken last year are still on the team? of the two that are gone, only bragg was considered a waste. the othere was terrence murphy, who showed promise in his injury.

teddy drafts for depth, and those players he drafted last year are mostly active in support roles. its still too early to tell if anyone else will step up and become a starter, but i don't consider 2005's draft a bust. at least not yet....
