This guy might not develop to the best pass catcher, and even if he doesn't I'm totally fine with it. He will make such an impact in zone blocking that it will make up for it. If you want to be sold quickly on how awesome this kid (20 years old) is, skip to 2:55 seconds. That's the type of dog we need. I see his comp being more of a Kyle Juszczyk than George Kittle.

 

Love him 

big ND fan, watched all his games

There ya go. That's the spirit.

 

Our line is better than it was 2 days ago. Now that is at least a step in the right direction.

We hope. Simply more bodies in general is an improvement. Ideally, we get a couple of starting OG's or even high caliber backup OL from what we took.

I don't hold out much hope of getting a starting caliber LT from this but if we do that probably alone makes this a successful draft.

We just got one of the highest rated LTs in the draft. And you are still sitting on your rocker, sipping an iced drink, and steadfastly refusing to be excited. lol

 

C'mon man. Just let in that one ray of sunshine. You can do it. We have yet to lose a game. The draft was a riot. And man, a whole bunch of us are excited to get this party started.

 

I mean, even ESPN was gushing on us. How cool is that?

Seems like the kind of guy I would have been pumped to land in the 5th or 6th round. Not sure I see the value in a 3rd round pick for a blocking TE/H-Back with limited pass catching ability. 

I get it...but guys like this can be very valuable if he can be a player for us

im still pissed about that 4th & inches in the first game against the raiders last yr...maybe he can help get some room for cmc to run

A guy like this could have been there to help with von Miller in the super bowl (assuming our coaches actually watch the game...I’m not trying to start all that up)

This was an exceptionally weak LT class and the BYU wasn't exactly a top tier prospect at LT. 

If he ends up as a starting OG and a good one, I am fine with that. IMO, he doesn't have the skill set to be a very good NFL LT. I am fine being wrong about that, if it makes the team better. I just don't think he is an NFL LT. 

As much as we have ignored the OL line in recent years(this one included), I will just simply accept "above average" NFL caliber. It is better than what we have been fielding.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
