My money, fwiw which aint much, says that Adeniji (unless injured) will be the starter at ORT in game 1 If Adeniji is injured, it'll be the new guy from Buffalo I dont see Jonah being with this team by the time the season starts. Some playoff aspiring team will lose their OLT and will trade for him

I didnt say fat I said muscle whatever dude.......this is speculation, nothing more. I dont expect the Bengals TE coach to hold a press conference to introduce me and Army as new offensive assistants

yep, and they still need at least 2 more TEs if Irv is a healthy guy, but since he generally isnt, they need 3 more

because theres a good chance he cant/wont make this team as a WR, but maybe just maybe he could be a productive TE As i said, I am not generally a fan of trying to turn an x into a y but if one speculates that he wont make it as WR, why not try him as a TE, where there is a MUCH bigger roster hole? I get that you personally think he makes it as a WR I dont Theres the difference that makes this a "why not try it?" type of thing a real possibility for me, and for Army

Im not a fan of picking a player who is an x and trying to make him a y ...but... this one at least kinda sorta makes sense for a low draft pick without much of a shot at making the team except.... he'd have to add quite a bit of muscle mass. Like 30 pounds, absolute bare freakin minimum. He lists as 205 right now. But......I suppose it would not hurt at all to see what he can do there over the course of the offseason. Such a transformation might indeed be his best chance to make the team

Ive already commented elsewhere that I am excited about this UDCFA OL got no drafted OLs to be excited about I think Bleacher Report has his hand and arm measurements backwards, though 33 inch hands on 10 inch arms.......thinking TRex here :-)

He looks like he is in his late 30's, and the stache could give The Nuge a run for his money

I cant get over how much this guy looks like the German sergeant in the first Indiana Jones movie who gets skilled by the airplane propeller

Gap, how old is your avatar pic?

rwalling! been a while! welcome back sir!

another way to look at this, Joisey, is that they are due (very overdue) for a win here :-) albeit I like Volsen a LOT

Are any of the UDCFAs a TE?

I really like what I am reading about this UDCFA https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Jaxson-Kirkland-OL-Washington especially: 'One of best pass blockers in college football - a technician who gives up very few sacks' I will be rooting hard for this guy. We need pass blockers bigtime and yeah, I know he is about 2 years older than the average rookie

ah, we do sorta kinda see eye to eye on occasion While fully realizing that the occasional late round pick becomes a superstar (yes, Mr Brady, I am talking about you) I look at late rounders for the most part as players you hope can develop into starters 2-3 years down the line when your current starters depart or decline, and in the meantime can play special teams and give you occasional snaps when injuries happen We'll need a new IOL or two in the coming years, so why not develop those guys now that sort of thing

I give the overall draft a solid B. There were picks I loved and picks I hated One corner and one WR was enough, tho......they needed to spread the wealth around better, imo I think they could have done a lot better in the later rounds, though taking the Punter was excellent If the Bama safety turns out to be a contributor, this draft looks a LOT better Overall, I hated this draft a lot less than the ones in the last 4-5 years I am praying we pick up at least one good UDCFA ORT and TE

its unacceptable to have two Corners both named DJ ok, no, that was a joke. Put the baseball bat away, Mem :-) No objection to the guy, just would have preferred a TE or ORT here, same as two picks back.

Another pick I noted as a necessary one, and I am hearing he is a hang time and directional punt guy. Sounds like a certain local product who was our Punter for many years :-) Like like like this pick Is this the extra pick we picked up from KC, where I said I hope they use the extra pick on the new Punter we need?

again, please keep in mind that this is all me wanting New Guy protected You were the first here to really fall hard for New Guy, so you should understand this

just my honest impression as I said, I like this pick. Please take note of that.

This is a pick that I hate not because I dislike the guy - he's an athletic freak with tons of untapped potential - but they already dipped into WR once and there were (and still are) other more pressing needs to fill so the guy per se is fine......especially as late as this pick is.....

at this point, I agree that it seems nearly certain they'll bring Wilcox in and retry with TE next year

wasnt the impression I was left with, but ok in any case, my reaction to this pick is positive, so calm yourself a bit :-)

and yet there are some that pass block this guy apparently wasnt one of them You do understand, given your long-expressed love with New Guy, that I just want him protected, right? I think he'll work on it. thats all I can ask. He had 25 reps on the bench so he has the muscle part good to go

So we knew we needed a RB, and I am glad they waited til late I love the speed I see in the film provided earlier in this thread. 4.43 in a 210 lb back is outstanding He seems in the film to make very good use of blocking ahead of him The fact that he is a plus receiver is huge what I didnt see and really want is the pass protection. everyone said all the right things like he's willing and will work at it and etc.....but bottom line this is a weakness, along with ball security Good value for round 5 but he really really really needs to work on those 2 weak areas C plus-ish pick. Maybe a B minus Oh, also.....on the RAS score, which is quite good.......I've seen several of these now where the agility data isnt listed, and thats the case with this one as well. I dont know any reason why this guy wouldnt have done agility drills. Puzzling.
