I think it's been proven that TT's done a great job in the draft, however, it seems that OL and DL are not his strengths. He's whiffed on a number of linemen and perhaps needs better scouts for those areas.

He really has been dominant when healthy.

He's still cheap. His biggest knock is durability like Harrell. Don't see the team cutting him until the end of camp at the soonest depending on how he performs in the preseason. If he gets his inevitable training camp injury that sidelines him for 4 to 6 weeks, then it's not like we were going to miss him much anyways while he serves it. :P

Still, a really dummy regardless. The depth on the defensive line just went from bad to awful even if we draft a couple of guys.

*sigh* It's not like Ted is ignoring D-line talent in the draft... Justin and Mike were both 1st and 2nd round picks. I really do wonder what exactly Ted looks for in his D-Linemen, because it seems to be leading us to miss much more than hit on prospects.

WR, TE and QB are the only strong spots for Ted Thompson. He sucks at everything else. OL. RB. S. K. P. All of it. Lets force the Packers to cut HIS ass!! After he cuts Mike Neal.

Mike Neal, you're a bum. I still hope you can matured into a good player, but I doubt it. Just a juiced-up meat head it would seem, not a football player (or at least no where close to a good one).

I believe the last time we invested a first round pick in DE was for too small Jamaal. Apparently, this is a strong draft for defensive lineman, so maybe we can get a couple.

First... lets look at Neal's posting of photo after photo of how "buff" he is.. thus it surprises me none that he might dip into the supplement/PED arena to add a little extra shred to his frame.

Second, I don't think Ted has an issue in evaluating defensive line talent, rather more that he has tried to address it more so in the second/third day of the draft more often than hitting it early in the draft.

For as much as I was disappointed in Harrell in his inability to stay healthy (and work to keep his body in top shape) the pick wasn't a truly horrible pick. Harrell had the upside if we could have gotten it out of him and helped him prepare better. The one season he actually worked his ass off he tweaked his back in the gym.. bad luck.

Neal, as mentioned previous, flashed potential to be a solid NFL lineman, but he as well had a injury history along with him. Now it seems he also has other baggage, I wouldn't cut him, but Neal has a ton of work to get back into good standing.

Jolly was a hit on the field.. just couldn't keep his nose clean.

I don't think Ted can't draft defensive and offensive line players.. I just think it sometimes he believes to much that we can turn water into wine. That said, and I will say it for the hundredth time, I don't have much faith in the developmental skills of James Campen.
