Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 554006">Jones in interesting as in inside thumper, but not knowing the nature of the drug test makes him problematic.  A large percentage of this league smokes pot in-season (when they don't test for it) to take the edge off and for pain.  A steroid or speed is something else entirely...you don't know what the performance will be without the performance enhancer.As far as center goes, McCarthy has always wanted a bigger man than what he's been given...reading between the lines, a 6'4", 320ish guy who can do some run-thumping would be his preference.  The Packers also prefer to use college OTs converted to the interior to get the margin of athleticism, reach and hands for the pass game...and the results are hard to argue with.  Tretter fits the profile.  6'4", 307 (at the Combine) with the physique to bulk up some...perhaps we'll see a bigger man already in training camp.  Tretter is also an ex-TE and ex-college OT which suggests the athleticism one would prefer.Of the guys on the board with C experience, it looks like Gabe Ikard fits the Packer profile...while not an ex-OT, he is an ex-TE and G.  6'4" / 304.  Good character guy and said to be intelligent, a leader and good with the line calls.  Quick feet...best shuttle and 3-cone at the Combine.  Needs to add bulk and strength...he's more a body-building project that's probably a year away.</blockquote>
