Brandt is pretty old and often makes unintentional mistakes about prospects, but what he does have, is a very strong connection to the Cowboys scouting community and if you ask me, his has access to their actual draft board, so it is hard to ignore his predictions. Likely he is just correcting a mistake he made about what he was asked and I totally agree with him that McGlinchey is far more likely to fall to round 2 than ever get near the top 10.

And, it doesn't matter that he barely passed other thresholds because he still passed them. That's why they're thresholds and not a sliding scale. Passing is passing. Unfortunately, they do matter and he is a very late rounder at best and likely an UDFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezla Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Noteboom vs Crosby. Who is the better LT prospect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they don't matter for OL. It doesn't test anything relevant to the position and teams don't care unless you run a historically bad time (and even they'll overlook it). I don't care if he's a late rounder or UDFA at best, I haven't watched the guy so I don't really care. But, I do know that his 40 time isn't going to effect his chances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Real talk, Isaiah Wynn is a Left Tackle. Some people will doubt it because of his height, but Kelvin Beachum became a serviceable LT. Compare his height and arm length to Wynn's: http://www.draftscout.com/members/ratings/tsx_profile.php?pyid=130789 http://www.draftscout.com/members/ratings/tsx_profile.php?pyid=80189 I think Wynn has more ability than Beachum. I think Wynn can be a very good pass protector at LT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Wynn can be a very good pass protector at LT. You’ve got to look at him there surely, it’s a position that just fits his skill set so well. Optics bias are a hell of a drug. How often do you watch a game and think, ‘wow this tackle is getting his *** kicked because he’s too short’ versus ‘wow this tackle looks the part, but he is absolutely terrible’?

The big question for me in evaluating LT (and OL prospects as a whole) is: Does he make it look easy? Wynn makes it look easy. He's remarkably consistent as a pass protector.

Yep and was playing through a torn labrum for the last part of the season, including at the Senior Bowl where he was dominant all week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 What’s the expectation of Orlando Brown? Thought of as a late first rounder until his dreadful combine, he remedied things a little bit at his pro day. He certainly go after Miller and McGlinchey, will he last to the third round?

I think he goes somewhere in the 2nd. Yes his combine was bad, but what he put on film for years shows what kind of player he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not as sold on him as a lot of people seem to be. What with his atrocious Combine workout (the numbers themselves, and what his lack of preparation suggests for his commitment to playing pro football- he had months to prepare for what he knew would be his audition for the NFL) and his unwieldy size, I do not think he can handle NFL speed rushers. But he may well be overdrafted owing to that same size, and his legacy. For me, his ceiling is "serviceable right tackle". His floor is "melting hot-fudge sundae".

He's a better prospect that Phil Loadholt, and he was a 2nd round pick who had a decent career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
