That’s all? I mean plenty of out of shape fat people get drafted high. It’s not hard to make a player eat right. Just have to have a good staff that will work with the guy.

yeah mostly and that he tested extremely bad athletically. It's whether you attribute that to him just being fat and out of shape or that he's just that unathletic naturally. I think the production generally speaks for itself though in this case. I like the pick.

Edit: to your point though, sometimes it is pretty hard to get someone to eat right. There's been tons of examples of players falling out of the NFL because of conditioning and eating habits.

Yeah but I mean how many times have we seen a offensive linemen test bad athletically and kill it in the NFL? I believe Orlando brown was horrible athletically and we see how he turned out. Only problem I see is if he can’t control his weight and gets so out of shape he can’t play or hurts himself. I also wonder if he looses weight if it will effect his play negatively?

It's really only a concern with our zone blocking scheme. He's not really going to excel with that type of lateral movement if he doesn't get into better shape.

Man i love both of those clips. The clip on the bottom shows him manhandling Derrick Brown and playing with anger. He loves the challenge of good opponents. Love this pick.

I have to wonder if we liked this guy from watching tape last year against Brown? I mean Brown is a great nfl player and if he can hold his own then he should be able to make it in the NFL.

We got a big ole boy, this draft is going amazing. Honestly, this is what a great front office looks like. To anyone who is hating please look at other teams drafts so far you guys will find anything to complain about. 

...lets see if Fit is as advertised... pretty pleased tho.

Many say that if he can trim down another 20 lbs, he would gain more quickness and be a force in a zone blocking scheme.

get that man a nutritionist and a personal chef.

This is what I was thinking. As he is he doesn't really seem like a fit for us but if they've spoken with him about slimming down and he's said he can do it then he could become a really nice piece for us. His pass protection skills are obviously top notch. If he can cut weight and improve his feet movement then sure why not. Great nickname too.

That bottom one is the first time I think I've ever seen anyone push Brown back like that. I'm sure it's happened other times too but I've never seen it.

Having a Seattle guy makes me happy to finally see us taking chances on guys that dropped because of concerns. Late rounds you rarely find gems unless you take a chance. Under Richardson no matter the GM or coach we would draft high character guys late with no athleticism that just worked hard. None are still in the league except AJ Klein. The only recent off field concern players we ever got only 2 showed up for us and Hardy was the reason why that regime never took a chance again. Thank god we have a new brain trust to say fug it make a man out of them again. 

I'm reading a lot of very positive comments about our draft from everyone. I honestly think the only place I've read anything bad about our draft all over the internet has been in Huddleton. Although that too has died down a lot. Most of those guys aren't around today.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
