Though worse news for our potential to actually be in range to draft him. Teams will have different takes on the injury though. That's just the favourable prognosis he's got from his doctors (and presumably the ones who did the surgery?). Which is a good foundation, but doesn't actually guarantee he'll be ready to go. Sounds like it should be close though. Which, if the guy is going to miss the beginning of camp and preseason even...it's very much not ideal, but i think i could work with that for the right talent/value. He's a pretty polished player, with that positional versatility. I'd imagine missing some preseason time might not be quite as detrimental for a prospect like that, as it could be for someone a lot more raw and unpolished.

He has speed but isnt easy to bring down. Showed good hands and routes He seems to me like more of a "highlights" player than a consistent machine. But he did have the previously mentioned less than stellar QB play impediment. He seems a lot like a thicker built, more physical Marqise Lee type to me. Which, with this staff's apparent bias toward these types...combined with the McCardell connection, means that yeah...they've probably got this guy very high on their boards. I like his dynamic ability, and he's got a nice frame and decent hands, with more of a "fight for every yard" mentality that i like. But i'm still not convinced that this is what a 1st round WR looks like to me. If we're desperate for a guy to run some easy drag routes for Bortle and potentially turn them into something though...we could do a lot worse. Moore is a talented player.

I wanna say his last 2 years he played with 4 different qbs each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Buzz Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Could McGlinchey be a guy who could play OG and kick out to RT down the line? This Norwell signing opens up some interesting possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With how we want to play, I'm all about building up a monster on the OL and we're close to it. McGlinchey wouldn't start over Parnell right now. Only way at PT is RG.

This Norwell signing opens up some interesting possibilities. He's awfully tall to try to play inside. Even just having someone like him around as a swing tackle/insurance wouldn't be the worst thing anyway though. We've got starters, but zero quality depth at tackle. It's possible the could work him out at guard and see how it goes. I'd think just working on grooming him for thand switch to RT and having him around for if/when a tackle gets dinged up would probably be more plausible.

He certainly wouldn't be the first ever very tall guard. But I'm not sure his skill set is all that well suited to playing inside either. He's more of a length player to me. Could see him struggling with leverage and his feet inside against interior pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinderFournette Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 figure we can start some talk about some potental Draft te options. some Sleepers: Christopher Herndon Miami(FL), David Wells San Diego State MY TE top 5 list for our us goes: Dallas Goedert Hayden Hurst Mike Gesicki Dalton Schultz Ian Thomas. i dont have andrews listed because i think hes really a jumbo-slot wr kinda like Ebron of the lions and i just dont see coughlin wanting something like that early in the draft.

Plus a handful of LBers and OLinemen that could be of some interest. It's just seems so bizarre to me that they'd be that into Gesicki. Have to squint really hard to see how a TE who can't block fits into this obvious ground and pound super emphasis they appear to be going with. But then...they do some pretty bizarre/unexpected things. So maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
