If he's serviceable we can roll protections his way. I have to wonder if Christensen was further along if they would've rolled with Moton at LT and Christensen at RT.

Still could down the road.

Mind you, those are the kinds of decisions I'd really rather get made before the season starts.

Tends to get knocked back pretty far on initial contact. Tends to hold on too long to where it's very noticeable. Saw at least two hands to the face.

He was getting bull rushed by linebackers at the BYU level, not promising as a 24 year old rookie.  Also has some horrible BYU film falling forward on run plays. The only reach in the draft IMO

Tell me more about Christensen. What type of "very raw" are we talking about here? Like this guy needs work on technique and adjusting to the NFL, but shows the physical talent type "very raw" or the why the fug did Hurney draft this guy in the 2nd round type "very raw"?

I usually rely on you experts for comments but I believe he needs to get up to speed with the NFL and improve his techniques.  I don't think he is going to be Little 2.0.  All I've heard about Christensen was how athletic he is.  If that remains the same.  He'll adjust and improve. 

My $.02

Was he? I’m no expert, but the clips I watched, he completely dominated in pass coverage. But, like you said, his run blocking needs a lot of work.

Not sure Deonte makes the team at this point.  Yea, he's big and physical, but historically we've asked our guards to be able to move.  Not sure last year really gave us the best read on our offense, but I can't see Deonte being able to do the sorts of things Norwell did as far as movement goes.

He looks like he'd be a great fit in a power run scheme, just not sure he's mobile enough for Joe Brady.  Maybe we keep him around for first and goal from the 2.  Hard to argue that our red zone offense was worth a dime last year.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
