2006 Packer Draft

Round 1
WE GOT AJ HAWK!!! HELL YEAH!
Not that this is too great of a surprise, but still is a great pick. He will instantly start and help make our defense a legit top 10 one this coming season. Couldn't be happier. Now let's see what TT has in store for round 2 and if a Walker trade is part of the equation.

UPDATE!!!
Apparently Sirius NFL Radio has reported that Denver has agreed to trade a 2nd rounder to the Packers for Walker. No word on which 2nd rounder it is, but the Pack could pick back-to-back in the 2nd round. Wheeee!

Round 2
UPDATE #2
Packers traded their 2nd rd pick to NE, not sure for what, but dammit, loads of talent available and TT passes on it.

UPDATE #3
Confirming earlier reports, the Packers did trade Walker to the Broncos for their 2nd rd pick, but now they have just traded that pick to Atlanta, not sure of the compensation though. We all knew TT was going to do this to get more picks, still frustrating though.

UPDATE #4
Here's how all the trade scenarios worked out (thanks JS):

The Packers traded the No. 36 pick (2nd round) to New England for the Patriots' picks nos. 52 (2nd round) and 75 (3rd round).

Green Bay dealt the No. 37 pick (2nd round) and its pick no. 139 to the Falcons for pick Nos. 47 (2nd rd), 93 (3rd round), and 148 (5th round).

So they have 2 2nd round picks, 3 3rd round picks and 2 5th round picks. That's 9 picks in the first 5 rounds total from the 6 they originally had. TT loves draft day deals. In a deep draft like this the number of 2nd and 3rd round picks are nice.

UPDATE #5
TT had to pick sometime, after all, he couldn't keep trading down, could he?
He selected: Daryn Colledge (OT) Boise State ?
What the hell? He's a good athlete by all accounts, but he needs like 2-3 years development. He has good footwork and is agile, which goes with the zone-blocking system, but we would have to move him to OG. We traded down for this? A shocker to say the least.

UPDATE #6
Greg Jennings (WR) Western MI
A solid choice at WR, he does a lot of things very well and is a good route runner. Lacks elite speed, and is similar to Driver. This is what I think will be first WR taken by the Packers.

Round 3
Abdul Hodge (ILB) Iowa
Now this is a great pick here. Hodge is arguably just slightly below his teammate at Iowa, Chad Greenway, who went #17 overall. Just amazed that he was available at this point. Packers got a great value here. Let the speculation of a Barnett, Hodge and Hawk LB corps begin!

Jason Spitz (C) Louisville
An athletic Center who can get to the LB quickly, but his biggest knock is that he gets pushed around too much in the running game. He'll have a shot at being the starter, but he is a likely backup. Would have loved to get Hagan or Stovall at WR here instead. If they wanted a Center, they could have waited until later in the round and gotten Eslinger who is better suited to the zone blocking scheme.

UPDATE #7
The Packers have traded their third, third-round draft choice, originally acquired from Atlanta, to the St. Louis Rams for a fourth-round choice (No. 109) and a sixth-round pick (No. 183).

That ends my night. Today was just immediate reactions to picks. Love the Hawk and Hodge picks. Williams is a solid WR. Granted, I'm not real thrilled about the OL, but then who knows how they will do.
