re: Jordan Moko

"You get Moko in the building and let him learn for a year and adjust to the speed of the game and then you could have a very good starting RT for 3 years."
Maybe we should give the same consideration to Dumervil, Martinez, and maybe Hill. Bradford has had more time but his great feet---and a necessary loss of 30lb---could make him the above mentioned starting RT. When he played, Martinez looked comfortable/confident and performed at the speed of the game---a big positive from a true freshman.
Hines at 330 is a different player than now. Many problems were caused by incorrect calls by Shanny. Expect that to be corrected. Did anyone else notice Wire playing LG inside of Dare? I like what he showed when thrown into the fire at LT. Whether included w/OL or not---Joseph Evans is a damn good football player.
Wilson should be ready to play. Dellinger and Kiko will get a shot to contribute right away. Will they need the year to get up to speed?
I'm not forgetting Turner and Thomas. Didn't see any of Turner. Thomas---unlike Martinez---was tentative and unsure of himself. Did anyone else notice he looked shorter than advertised? More than even Bradford, this dude needs to drop 20-30lbs to be any kind of contributor.
Hopefully, Leigh comes here and is a stud starter from day 1. Short of him being the second coming of A. Whitworth, Moko---if he comes here---would need time to acclimate.
Apparently, next year's HS in state OL class is the best in years so it's odds on we pull at least 2 of the guys we really want.
Look, busting the Coaches chops isn't a black/white issue. Every Coach, Boss, Manager, Supervisor, or anyone in a position of responsibility knows that the player, salesman, technician, etc... who performs best is the one who can take what he learns, internalize it to the point of being second nature, and---most importantly---EXECUTE IT ON THE FIELD! Is recruiting this type of player imperative? Of course. Maybe if you want to bust chops, that is where some fault could be laid but the problem that comes into play is you can't win without talented players and for the most part these kids have been able to perform at an elite HS level on sheer physicality.
Obviously, I'm not as pessimistic about our current/future OL situation as some of the other posters.
I'll borrow something from Professional Baseball (my world) that applies to all athletes but spare you their lengthy explanations.
We want Players who are or can develop into being:
1) RELENTLESSLY COMPETENT to ABOVE AVERAGE at their position(s).
2) OCCASIONALLY EXCELLENT at their positon(s).
Now, with all that being said---let the downvotes begin!
