A three-year starter at BYU, Christensen was a consensus All-American in 2020. He posted PFF's highest-recorded grade for an offensive lineman (96.0), besting Penei Sewell's 2019 grade.

Tepper strikes me as a guy who really likes metrics...
 
I think if he was 20 instead of 24 he would have easily been in the discussion for a 1st round pick after his workout. His workout was insane, his production is insane. His age is a turnoff for a league mostly built on projection.

The short arms and lateral quickness are also question marks but I really love the pick. If not for age, I bet he could have been an early to mid 2nd. But even if he has to move inside, I still love this pick. If he can develop into just an average LT then that would be amazing.

His arms are the same length as Slater.

I found this Panthers.com video interesting. 

His reaction for Christensen is by far the most excited. Happy we got someone to protect Sam? Really likes the player? Tepper seems very invested in the pick. 

Honestly I think it's relief.

I can't imagine they expected such a run on OTs to happen when they traded down from #39.

Age doesn't matter as much for O.L, who can play effectively into their mid 30's. I think he'll contribute regardless if it's at OT or G.....still wanna pick up another OL or two today

Jordan Gross was 23 when his rookie season started.  Just sayin . . .

Short arms... long arms...its all bullsh%t. Either you can play or you can't.  The number of players in the HOF who didn't match the perfect player mold is a testament to this.

He can easily have an 10-11 year career coming to the league just shy of 25.  He should bare minimum immediately start at LG but no doubt see if LT works. 

Daley/Elf fight out for LG if BC works at LT.  Scott/Erving are the backup LTs and start if they have to/if BC makes more sense at LG.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
