Longo (UNC’s new OC) runs an air raid offense so Ole Miss threw on damn near every down.

He’ll hold up against the pass well but he needs to work on getting to the next level in run blocking.

Just looked it up and they averaged 37 passing attempts per game vs. 35 rushing attempts per game last season. That's about as balanced as it gets, especially for a pretty bad team that I would've assumed would've been passing more because they were likely playing from behind a lot.

Vs Texas A&M

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. 

I read somewhere that most top prospects are scouted months (like a year or two, or more) in advance, so that by the time "draft season" begins that the powers that be already have a good sense as to strengths and weaknesses of specific prospects.  The Combine has its place, but it's not going to necessarily preempt all the months of research already gathered.

The Combine mostly helps the guys that no one has heard of (not literally, but on a relative  basis) and guys that no one has taken the time to research because they've "come out of nowhere."

Whild we're talking goid work, Dennis Daley arguably did his best work against Ferrell (career lows for the Edge). He handled D'Andre Walker also.

Here is the rub---our power running side will be Turner/Moton for a while.  Greg Little needs to keep Cam upright.

  If we get a LG that can dominate, we will be OK.  When we run toward Little (assuming all we are saying is accurate on the NFL level), we will probably pull a G and trap, use misdirection (cutback, for example) or have  a lead blocker Armah or Manhertz, for example.  Meanwhile, Matsko is developing Little--If you look at the draft and how the LTs fell, this trade up was necessary--the problem most Huddlers had was in thinking they would/could play Moton and LT-that decreased the need (in our heads) for a LT in the draft who could compete for  the LT job.  Little is going to start at LT--I am 90% sure of that.

Yeah, im not disappointed with this pick. He would have been gone at 47 and the reason we had to give up better than 100 is eveyone knew there was about to be a run on tackles. Teams know each others boards, to a degree. 

Williams is gone next year, so wed be right back to needing a tackle then, without a year to develop him. 

Daley is going to be a good one when he is ready.

  Which team was taking him between 37 and 47?

Putting the right guy at LG will help him a lot

Pretty much what we all expect.  Good in pass protection, needs some work in run blocking.  I'm thrilled with the pick though.

Any team could have been a threat to trade into that range of picks, just like we did.

To replace their LT they drafted two years ago? That wasn’t happening. They traded up for the player they wanted.

Then it should be easy. Who that hadn’t already passed on him was trading up?

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.

Hopefully we can execute our simple dump offs which are like extended run plays for us. Drop back dump it off let CMC scurry for about 7-10 yards seems like a solution to his run blocking deficiencies. Our RPO blocking usually mirrors running and passing so once he’s engaged if Cam hands it off hopefully he’s already blocking if Cam throws it not much to worry about bc his pass blocking is his strong suit.
