You would think, after seeing Donald tear up the league, teams would be all over an explosive, short, super productive DT prospect, but it seems many scouts struggle to adapt and can't get the idea of behemoth interior linemen out of their head. This the problem though. He wasn't super productive. Not in the stats that the media sees as important. I'm a massive fan of Oliver and would take him at 4 if the big 3 are gone by the Raider's pick. But the knock on him is probably that the production hasn't been as consistent as you'd like from a top, top prospect. I agree with you though. I think he should be mocked much higher.

pacman5252 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I think Chase Winovich is a darkhorse round 1 pick. He was highly productive, plays a high value position, is in football for the right reasons, and then tested better than expected. He seems like a nice low floor option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxx Crosby is taller and a better athlete than Winovich and he is not getting 1st round talk so Winovich should not either.

His tape didn't impress me but I guess others could be higher on him than me. I think people are just wowed by his size and I think he's overrated because of that.

Allen, Omenihu, and Nelson are not athletic enough to play off the los. Ferguson/Polite are buy you have character res flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen, Omenihu, and Nelson are not athletic enough to play off the los. Ferguson/Polite are buy you have character res flags. I was looking at him as if he was a 4/3 DE. True if you want more of a 3/4 OLB sure he could be a higher option but now sure Chase would do all that well as a true 3/4 OLB. Give Hollins over Chase and same with Porter Gustin as a 3/4 OLB. Josh Allen Kentucky Brian Burns Florida State JR Montez Sweat Miss State Justin Hollins Oregon RS Porter Gustin USC Sutton Smith Northern Illinois RS JR Maxx Crosby Eastern Michigan JR Andrew Van Ginkel Wisconsin RS Ben Banogu TCU JR RS Austin Bryant Clemson Chase Winovich Michigan SR Shareef Miller Penn State JR Jalen Jelks Oregon RS I would still take some these guys over Chase Winovich though, give me Sutton Smith all day over Winovich especially as a 3/4 OLB. Polite not sure he has the athletic ability to be a 3/4 OLB in terms of speed but will see. Crosby again is bigger and more athletic than Chase and Bryant could have 3/4 OLB potential, Miller and Jelks are debatable and same with Van Ginkel that is more of a close call. And I would take Banogu over Chase as a 3/4 OLB or 4/3 DE. The kid is a solid prospect, good motor, high character just not sure his ceiling is all that high. Not to mention he played in a great blitz system at Michigan that isolates players to succeed at getting sacks, and played with some talented front seven players obviously. Again fine player just not sure he is a 1st round talent which is what I referenced originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a projected 1st. Maybe end of 2nd at the absolute latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you don't like what you saw when evaluating him he still didn't test horribly and his tape looks good. There's nothing to suggest he couldn't be - at worst - a viable guard in a power running scheme. I don't see how he would make it to the 4th or 5th round unless a picture of him wearing a bong-mask surfaces on draft day. Even Orlando Brown, who tested horribly, was drafted in the third off of good tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the best OG's I've evaluated at getting to the 2nd level and blocking linebackers. His movement skills are a strength, not a weakness. I don't even like Cody Ford, btw. He's raw and has inconsistent footwork, but he's way too talented to fall that far. Cody Ford's inconsistent nastiness is the real concern I have, but I'd be dumbfounded if he didn't go until the 4th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's about an average athlete and he tested like one at the combine. His average athletic ability won't overcome his height issues to play RT. So he's bound to G where G Chris Lindstrom and G Connor McGovern are superior prospects who should be drafted before him. If both those guys go in the second round like they should then Cody Ford could be in for a fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVillain112 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hakeem Butler I think will go in the first round (possibly top 15). Dre'Mont Jones I think is a Day 3 pick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams like guys that can play tackle or guard. When injuries happen, gives you options. Thats why those guys always get drafted higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
