It's funny cause so many bears fans thought we should take him in the first
round at one point

Its early but I'm guessing this is another wasted draft pick for the
Packers.  I'm underwhelmed with Thompson's career as a GM so far.

Packers demote rookie lineman Colledge

It turned out that Packers second-round pick Daryn Colledge, the former
Boise State left tackle who is trying to make the transition to left guard
in the National Football League, was the one to go. When the Packers lined
up in practice, rookie Jason Spitz had moved from right to left guard and
fifth-round pick Tony Moll, recently considered a project at right tackle,
was in place at right guard. No one on the starting offensive line played
particularly well against San Diego, but Colledge probably struggled the
most. He was a step behind on too many plays and did not get his pads down
low enough to be effective in the running game. The coaches insisted that
the moves were not necessarily permanent and that Colledge, who practiced at
left guard with the second team, could earn his way back into the lineup.
But after being named a starter practically from the day he was drafted, the
6-foot-4, 299-pound Colledge got every opportunity to prove himself.


Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the
things we did not do that is inconsolable.
