warhawk...what makes you think he'll definitely be better on the right or not as good on the left? He played left all through college and has admitted it feels more natural to him (go figure if that's all you played, I suppose).

I think he's been doing OK on the right in pass pro for a rookie in his first year at that position, and think he could be just fine at RT...but I'm just asking what makes you think he couldn't be at least as successful at LG/T?

Carimi would be pretty awesome - I hoped he'd come out last year, because he was slated to be available near the Pack's pick if that was the case (@ least in some early mocks I saw). I think the Outland probably put him out of reach for the Pack, though, especially if they man up and whomp on the Bears Sunday (and I expect that they will), putting them in the playoffs.

However, I agree that the depth emerging in other key areas (back seven on defense, TE, RB) this season is going to make it easier for Thompson to use a high-round pick on an OL prospect come April. The question is whether or not there'll be someone there worth that kind of a pick.
