You give us Ali, but fail to provide the classic Nitschke shot standing over a leveled Redskin....fists clenched and arms flexed at his side! That photo made me a GBP fan as a kid growing up in Chicago in a Bears household!

Atta boy!! That photo is the centerpiece on my Packer Wall in the bar in my basement!

You're preaching to the choir in this case - I'd love them to take Mays if he's there (and a serious LT prospect is not - not a Campbell-type reach), for all the reasons you stated above. Personally, I don't think he'll fall that far - you can be as wrong avoiding the physical freaks as you can targeting them (or put another way, for every 2 Gholstons there is a Moss), and I think some team drafting below 23 will take him. We'll see soon enough.

I tend to see this scenario happening also - as long as the good OTs are off the board.

Id really like us to get spiller; but no way he lasts that long and lots of people have him projected pretty high in the draft ie top 10. And that would be pretty expensive to grab.
(I Really liked his running style thou) ... think he will do really well in the NFL.

ok but a 23 reality pick; mine would be: kindle; but its a tough choice. hughes and graham look pretty good also.

Some people think Iupati could even play some tackle. Start him at LG for a year while he learns the LT ropes from Clifton???

Clifton
Iupati
Spitz
Sitton
Lang

Back Ups:
Tauscher
Wells
Colledge
Dietrich-Smith

Looks good to me!

Iupati will be gone @ pick 9 (Oakland).

I keep changing who I would like. So I am going to pick a few. I like Iupati. I think we need a big guy to block Suh or McMcoy and the Williams from the Vikes. I like Kyle Wilson. Just from watching him at the Senior bowl practices, I was imptessed. I wouldn't be disapointed in another CB and I think Hughes could be a good pick up. I am a little leary about him covering but he seems fast enough.
I think we can get a good OL in round 2-3. I would love if the got Jared Veelder. I also like a speed back or returner such as Javid Best or the CB akwasi owusu ansah from Indiana. The Safteies mentioned by others would be nice also. These are for rounds 2-4.
I might update this cause I can't make up my mind!

As I have said from the beginning, the only player I would be tempted to try and move up for is Trent Williams. Unfortunately, if the draftniks are right, the move up required is simply too far. I would have wanted him to be there somewhere in the late teens. That's not happening.

Taylor Mays has gigantic question marks. I have heard at least one well-respected expert predict that he will not even be able to play the position. That is quite a contrast from Joe's perspective.

Bruce Campbell is also gamble. He needs work. I have also heard it said that he just might be the best tackle in this draft, don't discount HIS potential. Don't automatically dismiss him because of his awesome combine workout and the near universal derision of Al Davis and speed, vs. the "tape".

I bring this up because if I'm gamblin'-- I'd gamble on a Bruce Campbell before I'd gamble on a Taylor Mays, and I do see the upside potential in Mays also.

Both of these are probably my "last two" of the 20 players I put up as ones "I would not bitch about" at pick 23, although Maurkice Pouncey is also right in there.


I'm looking forward to getting past the first round, because chances are high I'm gonna be unhappy with the pick.
