[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 658542"] Well, if his Packer Combine interview was shaky, then that would be the end of that. If he gets one of the 30 local invites from the Packers to dig deeper, that would indicate something else. Given that Thompson is one of the more risk averse GMs in the league, he'd have to come to a cleaner assessment than those more inclined to roll the dice, as I already suggested. It's also worth noting this is the time of year when personnel guys might blow smoke and talk down a player off the record while having a actual interest. I like Mayock, but his analysis of Spence's Combine is a bit strange, doing a compare and contrast to Miller and Mack. Those were top 5 picks. Is he saying Spence's Senior Bowl performance suggested a top 5 talent, but his Combine does not? For Mayock, a guy who's tape first, Combine second, revist the tape third, you would have thought that as good as Spence's tape might be it does not match up with Von Miller's college tape in particular, which was truly special. Why not a comparison further down the food chain? As for the 4.8 time, that's not a particular liability for an OLB in Capers' defense. They hold the edge in the run game, rush in the pass game, and are rarely called upon to run downfield in coverage. I agree with that default position. Among the 3 starting O-Linemen + Tretter who are in their contract years, my view is Bakhtiari and Lang would be the priorities. The Thompson profile with respect to OGs is to draft college LTs who don't project particularly well to the position in the NFL. In these cases, you can get good athleticism for an OG (if not particularly good for OT), a fit for inside play in pass protection and the zone blocking scheme, lower down in the draft. Sitton, Lang, Tretter...all 4th. rounders in that profile. I'd look for one of these guys in the mid-rounds once again with the idea he'd be serviceable at OT as an injury replacement. Sitton, Lang and Tretter were all tried at OT at one point or another; that they did not quite make the "serviceable" level, particularly at LT, does not invalidate the formula. [/QUOTE]
