I think he projects as a possible center but it wouldn't be his strong suit.

He only played T and G in college but most experts agree anyone that can play guard can play C.
quote:
Strengths
Very good size. Has sheer mass to lean, wall off or cover up defenders. Solid base in pass protection -- gets his hands on rushers, anchors and slides to fan pressure. Effective short puller. Durable three-year starter. Has played guard and tackle. Smart and dependable.
Weaknesses
Average hip snap. Does not roll off the ball and overpower defenders. Stiff, lumbering movement. Needs to improve contact balance, particularly on the move. Tends to get out over his skis and slip off blocks. Could struggle to corral quicker interior defenders -- lacks ideal athleticism, lateral suddenness and recovery ability.
Draft Projection
Rounds 2-3
Bottom Line
Big, physical, smart, serviceable offensive guard who will not score many style points, but generally gets the job done. Has starter-caliber ability and fits best in a power scheme that takes advantage of his size and pulling ability.

So no more Centers or Wide Receivers really, so best player available at this point? Any really good linebackers left?

Christian Jones from FSU...I really like him as a player.

I wouldnt mind Skov from Stanford
Posted on 5/10/14 at 12:08 pm to PokerChamp21
Were at 126 I think...So we are close!

Wow...Desir is still on the board...Skov,Murray,Jones,Thomas,Yankey,Richardson(BOTH OL)...Are my guesses right now and desir.

I was sweating the GB pick. Went Bradford instead. Wouldn't have minded him but not my guy.

Think we go defense again
Offense in the 5th

What about Jones teammate Telvin Smith..He plays OLB.

This... although Desir seems unlikely with SJB already locked in.

I'd like Desir, but I think if we go D we go with a linebacker. Offensive line is pretty likely here too

Pissed about Bradford btw - dude was a beast @ Arizona St and can play multiple 3-4 positions 
Posted on 5/10/14 at 12:13 pm to PokerChamp21
I think we'll see a LB or a guard here if it isn't Murray.
Posted on 5/10/14 at 12:14 pm to Billy Mays
I know but I mean I REALLY believe he will be a good CB for someone..Could be a steal.
Posted on 5/10/14 at 12:14 pm to iAmThatMan
I like him but his size is about maxed at 217 lbs. Tiny for a LB and he fits rover better. We have Vaccaro, Bush, and Ball for that role.
