Stork, too.phragle said:Just when you think you have the tendencies figured out they draft a OL with poor agility drills and vertical

This might be the OL component to life at the end of Brady. Emphasis on big and strong up front to aid in the run game.Super Nomario said:Another massive, mediocre athlete to go with Stork. Interesting.

Too many fatties running over our middle, so draft some fatties to counteract the fatties.Super Nomario said:Another massive, mediocre athlete to go with Stork. Interesting.
I would think the other way around - the light, quick OL are good at pulling and getting to the second level in the run game. The bigger guys might be more about pass protection.mascho said:This might be the OL component to life at the end of Brady. Emphasis on big and strong up front to aid in the run game.

Yeah, you can make an argument DL depth is OK. But LB and safety depth is lousy, unless you really like Patrick Chung or Steve Beauharnais.( . ) ( . ) and (_!_) said:Pats might be happier with their DLine then we think. Armstead is an unknown, jones,Vellano and Siliga provide at least functional depth.
I would still like to see red zone help for the offense. Gronk and Dobson only guys with height. Still love Coleman, but also Washington out of Mizzou
Usually they go really small at C, though. Wendell is 6'2" 300 but quick. Connolly is a little bigger (6'4" 305) but pretty fast (remember his KR TD?). Koppen is 6'2" 296. Failed attempts like Nick McDonald, Ted Larsen, and Rich Ohrnberger were all in that range, too. Stork's the biggest dude they've tried there.phragle said:
Yet Garoppolo played in like the Ohio Valley Conference
I think there's a different standard for the center position. Maybe Fleming can play there. Throwing picks at center until you get one could work.
I think they can use Stork at guard and center. He's played guard at FSU too.Super Nomario said:Usually they go really small at C, though. Wendell is 6'2" 300 but quick.

EDIT: but they could see Stork as G option, I guess.

Just making sure: is Storm Johnson still out there?

Sure, but Stork and Fleming don't come with the quickness they like.phragle said:I'm not sure if size matter or if it just happens to come with the quickness they like.
That's what I'm thinking.phragle said:Maybe they saw Wendell get abused and said let's get a big guy.
He fumbles a ton and can't block, I can't see Belichick drafting a guy with those two problems.rodderick said:
Yes he is, and fumble issues aside I think he'd be a great fit with the Pats.

Cool, so it's only like the 5th-worst among OL instead of 2nd-worst.phragle said:Fleming did at 2" to his vert in his pro day.

Deathofthebambino said:I'm just tuning into the rest of the draft coverage. I assume Michael Sam hasn't been drafted yet? Where do folks have him projected to be drafted? I really hope he doesn't go undrafted. Based on what he did in college, he should be drafted on that alone (given the guys who will get drafted that didn't do shit), so I hope that folks don't pass on him out of fear of what it might do to the locker room or whatever. It's a great story, and the courage he showed to come out when he did knowing the draft was coming is something to be noted.

The NFL combine conducts more useless and idiotic tests on prospects than the FDA performs on food and drugs (since they just approve everything anyway). Seriously, what the fuck do the 3-cone drill and vertical leap have to do with an offensive lineman's job assignments? Unless you're going to put him on special teams to defend field goals and extra points, it doesn't matter how high he can jump. Ditto for the agility crap. Tell me the last time an OL needed to maneuver like that in a game situation.
