Eh I like this class and that’s great and all, but let’s see it when the pads are on and the cleats are laced up. Plus athleticism gives you a leg up, but it doesn’t make you a player. 

True, but I like the bet that Rhule is placing on himself and his assistants, that they can coach and develop players and that's our ultimate competitive advantage.  That's what he's done at Temple and Baylor, and he did it with a roster last year that was on paper supposed to be drafting Lawrence this year.

Brown doesnt need to be athletic. that over rated for gaurds.  Can you move that other 300 pound man directly in front of you out of the way? 

 

hes a dump truck that will plow a hole for our RBs. Cant ask for more than that where we got him. 

Pass blocking exists.

I don't know what you are talking about. Our best guards were always very athletic. Our worst ones were not. It's the difference between Trai Turner and Duke Robinson 

Yep not exactly a power block team, so he's the oddest pick but hey if you need a guy built for the heavy 6th lineman package, he's your guy. Can straight bulldoze a guy.

 

Think he is just a sub package guy at best unless he finds a way to get lean, find speed, and not lose the power. Not an easy task. Buy for a 6th meh let's role and see if he ever develops, if not, nothing lost.

Yeah that was a total homer post. Looks like the staff is hinging on him losing weight because he does have some skills but his weight cost him his RAS score. But those are the types of risks you take in the sixth round. He does have talent.

True but 4 years without giving up a sack in the SEC?  He has to have some athleticism.

Panthers landed six elite athletes.

Horn's score is completely insane.

Christensen's score indicates he could push to start at some point this season.

Deonte Brown is the most unathletic guy in the draft. Hopefully he loses weight.

If Tremble can catch, man, he is going to ball out 

I heard someone on the NFL network, can't remember who, say if he can learn to catch consistently he will be a superstar.

Lol Duke Robinson had a higher RAS than Andrew Norwell. There’s more to being a successful guard than athleticism.

Just like a NT you have to move an immovable object. So long as he has a low center of gravity he will be ok.

If we can get 6 starters out of this draft class I consider it mission accomplished. 

If we get 6 starters that would be on the level of Mickey Loomas and the saints best draft.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
