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.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
