Enough with the pumped up former tight ends. We need offensive linemen who won't get run over against the Giants, 49ers, etc.
Weren't Joe Staley and JJ Watt former TEs? Do the Packers have any former TEs on the OLine? Depending on the player and the coaching he receives it can be a real positive.
And just because they're looking at an OL who can play all 5 positions doesn't mean he will play all 5 positions. I feel like the coaching staff learned their lesson with shuffling OL so much after guys like Colledge and Lang kind of complained about it. Once they settled at a position they seemed to thrive and I think the coaches saw that. Only the back-ups (Van Roten, EDS, Barclay) saw time at multiple positions last TC from what I remember.

lots of kids have to grow into 300 lb's by the time they graduate. It's not like they are converting college TE's into linemen during minicap (or linebackers into fullbacks).

Amen. But then TT hasn't drafted a hybrid since Campen failed implementing the ZBS. Draft olinemen that have played the position throughout college.
I personally don't have an issue with a TE making the conversion but it just doesn't work on this team.
Alex Gibbs seems to be able to use recently converted TEs. James Campen can not.
Gibbs (or Sherman) could probably get Fedya to block effectively.
Does Bobby Bushay have a brother in this draft I can pull for?

5'8" and out of shape at a paunchy 160? I suppose it would be fun to earn one game check, but the results wouldn't be pretty.
You're only slightly smaller than Warrick Dunn.
that's what she said
