McShay's mock moves Moses ahead of Zach Martin among OL guys. On the BPA front, it sets him ahead of players like Brandin Cooks, Odell Beckham, Justin Gilbert and both Bridgewater and Manziel among others.

Granted anything is possible in the Draft, but I have a tough time buying into that notion.

I think the Morgan Moses/Zack Martin comparison is kind of like a lesser-talented version of the Greg Robinson/Jake Matthews comparison.

One is a player whose measurables jump out at you and can be a much better player IF your projection for him turns out to be true.

The other is a player whose tape shows utter consistency on a high level and is as close to plug-and-play as you can get.

So which do you prefer? Higher projected top-end? Or an immediate return on investment?

Kansas City Star - Draft Series

Morgan Moses, 6-6, 314, Virginia...Three-year starter. Is 21 years old. 35 3/8-inch arms... Size and length is ideal. Also has strong hands. ... Better pass blocker than run blocker

 

Moses versus Cyrus.....from what I read Cyrus is a road grader but has lacked consistency as a pass blocker. Moses seems to be a better pass blocker than he is as a run blocker.. 

 

GMan stated we were beat at the line of scrimmage versus the 49ers. Which guy best fits our scheme and how committed are we to running the ball w/o Cam doing the running?

 

I think we have all been too focused on our passing game and ignoring the fact that Cam was the reason our running game was as good as it was. 

 

I have so many questions and so few brain cells so help me out.

I like Moses myself, but I know Gettleman puts more faith in game tape than in measureables, so...

I like them both but Moses isn't 21, he's 23 I believe, Cyrus is like 2 years younger, he's still only 20, turns 21 in July I think.

 

If we somehow managed to snag both, Id put Moses at LT and Cyrus at RT.

 

Just keep in mind that Fluker was the 4th tackle taken last year and looked sluggish at the combine. He seemed to have the best year of the lot last year.

Reminds me a lot of Cyrus' situation. He could end up a better pro than Mathews or Lewan.

I thought the Clemson gif was gonna be one his blocks where he drives the guy back 15 yards. I think he does it 3 times in the 4th quarter. Amazing effort for a guy stuck on a perpetually losing team. I think he got a personal foul for taking the guy into sideline area, announcers called it harsh if I remember rightly. Check it out and add that gif if you can.

      Another Win

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets

      Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
