Van Roten is no squatty little scout; surprised we didn't consider him with the ones after his work in the reg season last year.  We killed Miami but he destroyed their DTs that game.  

This Mahon must be showing something to be considered over Van Roten and Larsen.

Mahon is not Silatolu. For now, that's all I need to know. Hopefully, he won't be the next Foucault.

the legendary david foucault, I think he actually started a game back in 2014 when the line was probably in the worst shape its ever been in.

Seems to happen to guys who don’t have the measureables. There’s a lot of UDFA OL including a bunch over the years who’ve been multi year pro-bowlers like s Jason Peters. Not suggesting Mahon will be anywhere near those guys but I think OL is a place where measurements and athleticism may be the most overrated and smarts and functional strength can help for lack of speed, etc. Amini sucks because his balance is terrible so he’s not always in a good position to start. That’s not measured at the combine. Also, a lot of teams go for what they consider high ceiling guys in the late rounds so guys like Norwell go undrafted.

The UDFAs that do make it tend to be big school guys who started and played well their entire careers.

Oh, one last note. Players that look like they can only play guard do fall more as well. Teams tend to think tackles are more valuable and if they can’t work out there they can be guards. Guard only guys who don’t work out are pretty much done. 

Thanks bro

What I have pieced together from the comments:

1) Amini is terrible

2) Anyone else would be better

3) Norwell was a UDFA

4) Mahon is a UDFA

5) Because #3 and #4 are true, Mahon is future all-pro

Transitive property at its finest right there.

Luckily for Mahon, he has a worthless pile of crap beside him at LT so he is bound to not look as bad as Kalil...

Your deductive  reasoning skills are off...those who watched him play at PSU are excited because we saw what the guy can do.  He ya a very solid OL...nothing to do with being an UDFA.

To be fair, there are definitely some folks who unfairly see him as Norwell 2.0.

Said folks will likely (again, unfairly) rip him to shreds if he doesn't look that good right away.

Probably doesn't help that OL play (especially tackle play) at the college level ain't what it used to be.

Kalil actually played well the second half of the season last year. He wasn't great, but he certainly wasn't "a worthless pile of crap."

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
