Kouandijo vs. Moses vs. Richardson vs. Turner

I do not think there is ANY way we do not leave this draft with one of these guys. With that said, who do you guys think is gonna have the best career in the NFL? 

 

Cyrus Kouandijo 6'7 322

 

 

Probably the most impressive of the bunch physically. Very quick for his size. I am just worried about the knee. Would really suck if he had a short career and became a wasted pick. 

 

 

Morgan Moses 6'6 314

 

 

I am concerned about his foot speed. Doesn't seem to be on the same level as the other guys in this group. Seems like a better RT to me, but then that brings up concerns with his run blocking. 

 

Antonio Tiny Richardson 6'6 336

 

 

Impressive physically. Very quick feet for his size. My concern is with his run blocking. He wiffs on a good number of blocks from the cut ups I've seen. 

 

Billy Turner 6'5 315

 

 

Probably the quickest feet out of all these guys. A little light on the lower body but as a LT I don't think that is a huge concern. 

 

 

As for who I like the best, it's hard to say. Id like Cyrus if not for the knee concerns. The only one I have question marks playing LT is Moses.

I like Flemming in the 3rd as our new RT. Dude is big and power with solid foot speed. 

 

My ideal draft would look like this. 

 

1st - Honestly don't know what direction to go here. 

 

2nd - One of Cyrus, Richardson, Turner

 

3rd - Cameron Flemming

 

That would shore up our OL going forward imo.

Ideal draft with no idea who you want in the first? Seems odd.

Finally, a decent discussion topic!

 

For me, if we're looking at OL at 28, I'm thinking Morgan Moses.  I think he has the better ability to come in and play LT right away.  Richardson has the ability, but will his knees push him down as well.  Speaking of knee trouble, Kouandjio has the knee problems and issues with speed rushers.  I think that makes him a better RT at this point.

 

For the rest of the draft, there are a lot of good players who can probably come in and play either spot, given reasonable expectations of rookie OL.  It would start ugly, but could get better throughout the season.  I think we can definitely come out of the draft with two solid OL upgrades/starters if we make it a priority.

You forgot the actual person that we will pick:

 

 

JaWuan James.

Do you not see his foot speed? It is not on the level of the other guys I mentioned. Go and watch his cut up and compare it to the other guys. It is visibly slower. To be a great LT you got to have pretty good foot speed. 

 

I am not sure about Moses in that regard.

    • Several Huddlers mentioned the states of other position groups in the WR evolution thread, so I figured... Why not? Let's throw something about the OL together. Snap counts btw include ST, but JJ Jansen is not included because it would be an insult to the GOAT for him to not have his own thread (which I'm not making).   2023: Revolving Doors Projected OL: Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Bradley Bozeman, Austin Corbett, Taylor Moton Week 1: Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Bradley Bozeman, Chandler Zavala, Taylor Moton Week 18: Ikem Ekwonu, Gabe Jackson, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen, Taylor Moton Snap Counts: Ikem Ekwonu (1,201), Taylor Moton (1,201), Bradley Bozeman (1,149), Calvin Throckmorton (544), Cade Mays (486), Chandler Zavala (403), Nash Jensen (334), Austin Corbett (261), Gabe Jackson (205), Justin McCray (84), Brett Toth (80, Brady Christensen (79), David Sharpe (24), Ricky Lee (24), J.D. DiRenzo (14) What Happened?: OL Hell. Corbett was out most of the season and then was reinjured shortly after returning. BC only got to play week one (finishing the game with a torn biceps). The interior became a weekly shuffling of overwhelmed rookies, emergency vets, and waiver claims to try and survive the season. BY9 ended up being the second most sacked rookie QB of all time (now third after Caleb Williams' rookie campaign). The team ended up starting 6 LGs and 7 RGs (in total, they played 8 different LGs and 9 different RGs). There was constant interior pressure, missed stunts, and zero chemistry. This was an insane fall off when the OL looked to be a strength at the end of 2022, but there was a scheme shift from a power run game to a lot more zone. Verdict: Icky and TMo were the glue while Bozeman was stuck between a turnstile and a parking cone. These three did their best to be the glue, but there was only so much that could be done with the injury issues and catastrophe that would end up being the coaching staff. 2024: Changing of the Guards Projected OL: Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton Week 1: Ikem Ekwonu, Damien Lewis, Austin Corbett, Robert Hunt, Taylor Moton  Week 18: Ikem Ekwonu , Damien Lewis, Cade Mays, Chandler Zavala, Taylor Moton Snap Counts: Robert Hunt (1,022), Damien Lewis (999), Ikem Ekwonu (963), Taylor Moton (899), Cade Mays (502), Brady Christensen (448), Austin Corbett (292), Chandler Zavala (259), Yosh Nijman (255), Jarrett Kingston (25), Andrew Raym (4), Brandon Walton (4) What Happened?: Solved the LG + RG issues by reuniting Lewis with Canales and paying the best RG in free agency (Hunt). Corbett again didn't finish the season, but Cade Mays was brought back and he filled in admirably. BC played almost every position on the OL and provided a valuable back-up + OL6. Zavala even looked better and more comfortable. Icky continued to show promising development as well, earning himself the team picking up his bonus option. The team churned the bottom of the group a bit, using special teams as a way to evaluate them. Verdict: The team has four of the five OL spots now occupied with true starters for the following 2 - 3 seasons. The results showed on the field as the offense became who carried the team through the season. The team was left in a position to develop depth and find a long-term solution for the center position. 2025: What 2023 Should've Been? Projected OL LT: Ikem Ekwonu  LG: Damien Lewis C : Austin Corbett/Cade Mays RG: Robert Hunt RT: Taylor Moton What Might Happen?: The biggest question mark is obviously the center position and who comes away as the starter? Icky and TMo have been the only constants on this OL, but there was rumours this offseason that TMo has knee issues. Icky is going to be due a payday soon as well. BC provides a high-quality second-stringer at every position, but the team still needs to develop some young backups. Zavala and Kingston both provide depth at guard, but the team looks a little thin at tackle with Nijman and Walton being the next two up there. If the starting unit can remain healthy, especially the tackles, the team can continue to build off of the progress that they made in the second half of the 2024 - 2025 season.  
    • Darin Gnatt made a comment on the Kyle Bailey show yesterday that it’s night and day with all positions since 2023. He stated that you can see the level of competition is much better and deeper because each group now has not just the starter competition but general roster competition which has been lacking for years. You’re gonna see Panther players actually picked up by teams at final roster cuts.
    • important perspective to have. as easy as the schedule is, it could take 2-3 games for it to start clicking for the young and new ones.
