Green Bay Packers
1(9): DT B.J. Raji - A smart, quick nose tackle who we predicted going to the Packers from very early on. He fits the new defensive scheme well and will be asked to contribute early. Raji is a dominating nose tackle and will anchor the Packers 3-4 defense in [...]

Green Bay Packers on the Clock at #9 and took B. J. Raji
Boston College nose tackle B. J. Raji was an excellent selection for the Packers. A very powerful (6' 1" 335 lbs) run stopper, but with the quickness to rush the passer and completely disrupt an offense. If he gets and stays in shape, he could be a pro bowl nose tackle. A great pick here, draft grade for this pick: A+

Herzy and Raji honored and other links
BJ Raji and Mark Herzlich were named third-team selections to the Associated Press's All-America Team. I think both deserve higher billing but the national team becomes very political. This year it is filled with SEC and Big XII guys. One interesting note from the Globe article: speculation is ...

The Raji Tackle
This play is slowly taking on legendary status for BC fans and ND haters alike. I don't want to spark the whole recruiting rankings debate again, but let's all agree that sometimes the experts get it wrong (Raji was a 2-star, Olsen a 4-star).
