[QUOTE="TomBrownFan40, post: 609015, member: 6298"] You guys have done an excellent job of analysis here. Not too much to add except some general opinions: What I like the most about this draft: I really love the late FB/TE/HBack type picks. I've been screaming for a few years about the need for lead blocker/check down receiver types in this offense. Think: William Henderson in the Favre years. Unlike Favre, Rodgers has had basically only three options when they're covered downfield: force it in, throw it away, or run. This could add that fourth dimension to the passing game. Lacy and Starks will also take less punishment and these guys are really what make up the special teams. I love the Hundley pick. I never want to go through that Graham Harrell, Vince Young, etc. nightmare again. Flynn has been a great Packer citizen but, hit his ceiling years ago. Tolzien might have the tools to develop; Hundley definitely does. It should be a good competition. What I'm most concerned about this draft: I have a hunch we're going to regret, perhaps real soon, leaving Kendricks on the board. Obviously, we needed corners but, I'm suspicious when I hear ballhawking skills touted over coverage ability. Also, I'm surprised no Offensive Linemen taken. Similar to the QB nightmares, I also have nightmares of what happened when Bulaga went down and Tretter had to kick out to Tackle. I would feel less nervous with a better alternative than Don Barclay. Overall: I feel much better about the second half of the draft than the first. [/QUOTE]
