Tackles still around


Many people think the Green Bay Packers still have to look for the offensive tackle of the future.

Two of the more highly rated prospects left in the draft are both tackles. Anthony Collins of Kansas and John Greco of Toledo are still hanging around and don't figure to last long today.

Can they play in a zone blocking scheme? I'm not exactly sure, but a quick look at their profiles makes them seem like they're athletic enough.

Collins (pictured) may be a bit raw yet. He came out of college as a junior after a good year in which his stock went quite a bit up. I heard him once quoted that he felt he didn't have anything left to prove at the college level.

Greco is deemed by some as a bit of a tweener. But it's not like that has prevented the Packers from drafting those types of players before. The debate is still going on whether Daryn Colledge or Allen Barbre is the left tackle of the future.
