First, the weigh ins

That South roster tho. People will be fanning over Oakman here and the combine. He looks impressive but he's stiff. I want to keep an eye on Kaufusi, Sterling Shepherd, Harlan Miller and Laraven Clark specifically. As well as all of the DT's. Lots of good mid round DT this year.

QB's look weak

DT's a deep group

Not incredibly impressed with the DE's so far

Observations so far

 

Oakman's stock is dropping like a rock.  Don't see him going higher than the 3rd right now.

 

Carl Nassib has been beating OT's consistently.  Lined up on the inside a few times.  Still want this kid in the first where we're at and hold onto Allen and cut CJ to help mentor him.  Still getting better, was way undersized until this past year.

 

DT's are Suuuuuper DEEP.  Need to get one in the 1st or move up in the second similar to the Finchess and get a first round grade DT.

 

Braxton Miller is really showing off.  If someway he makes it out of the 2nd. Would consider wanting to trade up for him.  Same with Shepherd.  

 

Nick Martin is another guy I want to keep my eye on.  Think would be a nice pickup to groom for a year under Kalil

I like Martin too.

Just wondering whether we would ever bring Remmers in to C and put D Williams at RT.  Just dont know if Remmers is quick enough to get to the next level or has the quick hands to play the middle

I worry that Nassib cannot carry the weight effectively, hope I am wrong

I think Nassib will carry it well.  He's just filling into his body.  Guy came in as a 210 pound Walkon.  He's shown some good power driving back OT's on bullrushes.  

 

Some reason I was thinking Remmers contract was up this season.  We should be able to resign him easily.  D Williams should be our RT of the future.  I don't think Remmers is good enough to be a starter Center.  We could pickup Martin to sit under Kalil for atleast a year then most likely Kalil would retire.  Remmers could be good for depth as backup at OT and Center.

 

dream scenario for me would be 

1st Nassib

2nd trade up for a DT that fell out of the 1st

3rd trade up for Martin.

keep those trenches locked up, that's where you win games.

Super Bowl teams usually have their FA's raided.  Might not be as easy to resign Remmers AND Norman.  So, Williams steps in at OT and will do a good job.

Martin could be a good pickup.  Late second maybe, not sure he'd be there late third.

Watching the Senior Bowl practice and the guy who stood out to me was Matt Ioannidis, DT from Temple.  Dude was owning people all day.  Projected to be a 5th round pick.  If Edwards is done after this season, wouldn't mind picking this guy up in the mid rounds. Would make for an excellent backup for Short.

Ioannidis was showing up from the first day, good eye
