Daryn Colledge: Scouts say he lacks toughness, athleticism and strength. There's no question that he ranked fifth best on a five-man unit. Nevertheless, he lined up for every game and just about every practice, trimmed his sack total from seven to three and his "pressures" from an abominable 40½ to 23½. As a pass blocker, he reacts pretty well against speed, is less effective against power and struggles picking up stunts. Led the club in "bad" runs with 25, a career high. Unable to sustain run blocks against better players and is too often late to the second level. Had a career-high eight penalties. Every team wants better than Colledge, but until the Packers find that man they at least know they can survive with him. Grade: C-minus.

Daryn Colledge: Didn't play with strength, athleticism or savvy. Allowed an astronomical 40½ pressures, 10 more than the previous leader (RG Will Whitticker, 2005) in the last 10 seasons. Not only that, but he was the runaway leader in bad runs with 18½. Four of his 7½ sacks allowed came at LT, where he was like a fish out of water. Falls off too many blocks at LB level. Just not a tough guy. His awful overtime holding penalty in the playoffs might have cost him a contract offer. Grade: D-minus

Yeah, well at least I remembered what a complete disappointment he was through most of his tenure... Wow. How easy many forget.



And, that SB winning season was indeed his best in a GB uniform. So, his end of season grade was a C- I would be shocked if he hadn't earned D or F in his previous seasons.

Jackson's 1st 3 yrs, it wasn't until Grant got hurt in 2010 did Jackson get a chance to play.

He was always going to be the 3rd down guy until he was forced to be the #1 guy in 2010.

If you remember, there was a lot of shuffling around in 2010, as the Packers tried to figure out how to replace Grant.

Jackson was never meant to be an every down back, that was proven when Starks came on and he was able to go back to being the 3rd down, change of pace guy.

Now what am I forgetting?


To call Brandon Jackson "a big miss" is innacurate at best.

For their third-down back the Packers need someone with more speed. Grade: C-minus

Why do you have to be such a complete dick?

Oh hell, doesn't really matter, Ted will draft 9- 11 guys this year, they all will become starters, and The Packers will win the next 10 SB's.

That doesn't happen, well we can say ted had 9-11 misses in 2014.

Sure, he played better in his 4th season in GB, but never earned a higher grade than C+. I expected more from the pick/player.
