2006 NFL DRAFT (1 Viewer)

I can't see how Seattle isn't the prohibitive favorite in the NFC entering training camps. They've had a phenomenal offseason, including a very solid Day One. Have to give props where props are due.
:goodposting: I think Jennings is solid and I REALLY like Tapp!

 
TEn with the 5th pick is pretty much assured of a steal. They also have the 19th, so far only TEN, NYJ and NEP picks twice in the first 20 or so and TEN picks first every time

 
Possibilities for the Pats with 2 picks in the 4th:

Gabe Watson - backup to Vince Wilfork

Darnell Bing - Big name but I'm not sure he is a BB type of player

Ko Simpson - Depends on how Rodney Harrison is doing. I'm not sure BB agrees with Pats fans that we need a safety.

Mutua G - Pats love OL depth

Demetrius Williams WR - Love him but not sure if the Pats do.

I been hearing that the Pats could go with Babatunde Oshinowo, Stanford to back up Wilfork. The read on this kid just sounds like a Patriot!There was talk of Darnell Bing, (S) USC before, and if he is there at 106, that might be the player targeted.

Patrick Ross' name has been thrown around for a G

I think the Pats had both Mike Hass, Oregon State and Skyler Green, LSU in for visits. I could see maybe one of them as well.

Edit: Oops just read that you were only talking fourth round...Going to go with Oliver Hoyte, North Carolina State and Darnell Bing, (S) USC

I think the Packers have a pair of early second-day picks as well. :thumbup:
 
Maybe I shouldn't be too upset on how early the Pats took their TE...maybe they knew a run might be coming! :D

(98) Texans - Owen Daniels....TE

Sorry just revived myself by the Pats taking another TE! Garrett Mills

SUMMARY

The more you watch Mills, the more you see just how consistently productive he is. Mills is a very smart player who has been able to line up in a variety of different positions (in-line tight end, H-back and fullback) without making mental errors. Runs smart and sharp routes, and reaches out and catches the ball well with his hands. Runs very hard after the catch and fights for extra yards until he is on the ground. Trouble comes due to lack of size and strength, making it hard to break tackles. Lacks the speed to make big plays and does not protect the ball well (a bit of a fumbler). A highly competitive player that squeezes the most out of his ability. Overall, Mills will be valuable for his intelligence, versatility, competitiveness and hands. He could try to carve out a spot for himself as a No. 3 tight end, backup fullback that can also be used as a motion blocker, and on special teams.

STRONG POINTS

Mills is a smart football player who knows how to get open. Runs very sharp routes, and once he gets to full speed, shows a little burst to get separation. Has very good hands and consistently has shown the ability to adjust and make tough catches on off-target passes -- can get down and pluck the low pass surprisingly well. Runs hard after the catch and never stops fighting for extra yards until he is on the ground. Has the natural flexibility to bend his knees and block with leverage.

WEAKNESSES

Mills is a "tweener" who has the size of a fullback, but is much more of a receiver than a blocker. Lacks a burst off the ball into his routes and does not have the speed to get deep and make big plays. Despite his tremendous effort running with the ball, he lacks the size to break tackles and the explosive burst to make big plays. Lacks the strength to block effectively at the line of scrimmage -- can be torqued and tossed off his feet too easily. Despite having very good hands, he does not consistently get his head and shoulders around quickly after a cut, and it causes him to fight the ball a little when it gets on top of him.

I thought it was Huff, Whitner, Allen and Bullocks. Maybe Simpson at the 4th instead of Bullocks. Then Bing. Apparently the Steelers thought Smith was the 4th best. :shrug:
