Same on Jenkins. If he is there to start end 2, move up for him. Big nasty RT road grader type. Kinda another Otah type of not really a good fit at LT but hell of a RT.

My thoughts too. I’m sure the coaching staff knows if they will try Moton at LT. I wish we knew. Would be very relevant as we look at some of these prospects.

Guys this link says he has 500 snaps at LT, so maybe he could slot there? Also says he could play guard so probably more of a RT guy. But Moton had the same profile and i thought he did well at left. Thoughts?

The issue he had was speed rushers. There are concerns he won't be the best pass pro guy against speed rushers as he had a few hiccups with OU against speed rushers.

 

Yes the league is putting speed on both sides of the line, but typically you still want the best guy coming at the qb from his blind side. So stick the best OT against pass rushers on the blindside. Maybe that's Jenkins and not Moton, not 100% sure, but Moton atleast has  reps as an NFL OT for a while now.

 

If you think Moron can hold up enough on the backside, Jenkins can be the people mover on the right side like Williams or Otah before him. I'm ok with Moton over there as he wasn't lost against dallas over there for a game. I'm not sure he may be elite as a LT, but we know he can handle most rushers he saw on the right side, and is solid in the run game.

Also looks like we were at VT in force today, with DB and OL staff as well as as a few others. still looking for how my boy Christian Darrisaw fared.  Unlikely he is a 2nd round guy though unless he bombed today. I think he's #2-4 OT depending on how you view Slater and Vera-Tucker. I see both more as G 1st with OT potential than OT that can switch to G if they flop like Little.

 

EDIT: Darrisaw did drills only (damn). Haven't found official measurements yet though

Going "madden bro" on this, but on my mock drafts my go-to for 2nd round is Jalen Mayfield. Hes there about 80% of the time and a great follow to picking a QB first. I know after the 2nd panthers pick, the OT value falls into space. Had some luck with getting Little and Smith around the 4th, but if you want a stater level OT, you must use one of the first two picks.

Haha, I’ve had the same thing happen to me, Jalen in the 2nd round. I’ve always though  he was a 1st round guy, but maybe not.

According to some Twitter ppl i follow Mayfield hasn't played a ton but has a lot of talent, great size, seems versatile enough to play early in the NFL. Looks good in the clips I've seen too, I'll have to find it for yall

I think the word is Mayfield is better suited to guard but that he doesnt have experience there so its mostly an athletic projection. Sounds like he struggles with fast edge guys, but i havent seen him play so its just second hand.

His claim to fame is holding chase young at bay for 1 game. Idk projectable guy, improving YOY, athletic. Maybe he can hold the fort at RT year one, and improve to a LT later. 

I like Jenkins more as he just had really 1 guy give him fits. And in the run game he's damn dominant. 

Brady Christianson is a dark horse. timed well, played well at BYU. He is getting more buzz post workout. Before hand he was a wait and see type, film good, not great, level of competition good not great. Issue is arm length under the magic 33", but ever draftniks favorite slater is also sub 33.

 

Later guy I'm all in on:

Aldrick Jackson- long time iowa LT, even with wirfs around in iowa. Opened eyes at his pro day. I pegged him at LG, but he measure well, tested well. So maybe he can stay at OT.
