For the second straight pick, Ted Thompson went with an offensive tackle – this time Breno Giacomini out of Louisville. This is a great pick because Green Bay needs to start grooming replacements for the aging tackles Mark Tauscher and Chad Clifton , as Casey Burkett mentioned in his last post.

Figures to be best in a 3-4. , which is not what he plays in in Houston. Minnesota: Leroy Guion, DT: Florida State has not had both of their defensive tackles taken. Don't tell me that's not a good program anymore. Tampa Bay: Trades to New ...
