I'm still not very High on Greg but he has faced some very good competition in the SEC.. So his transition to facing NFL talent might not be as steep. 

Let's take a look at a few Video showing his snaps vs some of the best edge rushers over the years in the SEC..

 

Greg vs Sweat and Simmons twice..

He looked awful at the Combine, but then again Combine drills aren't football games. Orlando Brown had quote possibly the worst Combine performance of all time last year and proved to be a serviceable NFL OT as a rookie. Little didn't look anywhere near as bad as Brown did at the Combine.

I’m not a little fan nor was I excited about trading a high extra 3rd to jump up for him. But he does offer tremendous upside and hope at a position where we haven’t use a high pick on a left tackle since ummm...Gross? Just having a body in camp that is you and was a 5 Star guy who had the tools but hasn’t put them all together gives me hope which is something I havent felt at left tackle in a long time.

I don't think college tape has much value any more for us(as a team, not the fans). He's a physically gifted guy with high upside. It's just a matter if he has it between the ears, IMO. Is he going to buckle in and do what it takes to make the most of those physical abilities. We will see.

hes looks good in pass pro.  

he is kinda ambivalent in his run blocking.

That was pretty much his reputation. We have greater needs in pass protection than run blocking from that position anyway, so that isn't as big of a negative.

It'll be a lot of help for our OL coaches. They'll definitely be scouring his tape looking for weaknesses in his technique and in-game processing to help shore up.

They are probably pretty well acquainted with that from the draft evaluation process. Now they will get a chance to coach him in a practice setting and correct that stuff.

Gonna be awhile before they can truly get to work with him. They were scouting lots of OL leading up to the draft.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
