THE DUKE Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 3 minutes ago, Techbert said: I exaggerated, but Munoz was on some dog teams. My point is those two labored a lot of losing seasons through no fault of their own. 8 winning seasons, 5 losing seasons, two of those coming at the end of his career, so until it fell apart at the end of Munoz career (not coincidentally when Mike Brown took over) where he missed 11 games over those two years , so really 8 winning (including 2 Super Bowls) and 3 losing seasons over the bulk of his career. I know the Bengals reputation, well earned over the 90's, but pretty much in the wrong here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Bengals reputation, well earned over the 90's, but pretty much in the wrong here. I count 6 losing season and only 5 winning seasons in those 13 years. Soooo... discrepancy. Love Munoz, which is why I used him. He kept Kenny Anderson and Boomer Esiason healthy but despite his awesome run blocking and pass protection he was not enough to get the Bengals into consistent winning status, even with their all-time two greatest quarterbacks. Loved your use of the Mike Brown card, by the way, but I only count 1992 as a single losing season when he was not able to play his best late in his career. I think we can agree that Mike Brown had a bigger impact on that team's won-loss than perhaps the greatest left tackle ever.

My bad, I only counted the losing seasons (80, 83, 85, 97, 91, 92) and two of those years were 8-8, not exactly basement dwellers. The one I overlooked was '83. Even with the disastrous last two years, a career record of 98-102 (and a 90-78 record before those bad last two years, of which he only played 21 of 32 games). Until the last couple years there was only two seasons under 7 wins, 80 and 87. Eight playoff games and two super bowl appearances Compare that to Joe Thomas' 48-128, no playoff appearances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say LE is 50/50 for day 2, but it may depend on who the Chiefs like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to argue about tackles anymore, cuz my point with Sewell was about great guard play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I've been thinking about it, and I think Brady Christensen is a DND for me. I mean, if you take a flier on anyone in round 6 / 7 it's whatever, but I don't think I'm drafting him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely 32 arms, don't like his strength for the interior, 25 years old so he's probably maxed physically. Just not digging that.

There are others I'd prefer to work with I get the strength and arm length, but why would being 25 be such a negative? I've seen this many times, especially with prospects connected to BYU (for missions) but not exclusively. In many cases, you are likely getting a more mature prospect. Shrug.

Older prospects give far less room for improvement and they are full grown men playing 19 / 20 year old sometimes. Of course they should have success, so the tape can be misleading. Age is a big flag. History shows they generate lower career AVs, NEPs, etc. In his case specifically, if he can't hang at tackle, he needs to move inside. He's not strong enough / big enough as it is and at his age, he's likely maxed out physically. You're not likely to see huge growth from him in that regard. Age is also a prominent talking point in the NHL draft...sometimes even more so. A difference of months can be hotly debated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSteelers56 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The guy who cemented the age debate to me was Danny Watkins. Man, that guy stunk. I don't want a physically mature prospect. I want someone who is going to continue growing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want a physically mature prospect. I want someone who is going to continue growing. I think Danny Watkins had bigger issues. My recollection is that he didn't like playing football and didn't give much effort in the NFL. Kyle Long was an older prospect who turned into a great OL. Obviously, there's a risk to it. But I think you just have to trust your eyes. Just assume there isn't the same potential to grow physically as there is in a younger prospect. (Cooper Kupp is another example of an older prospect who is a very good pro.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) My OT Rankings - 1) Penei Sewell - #2 Prospect in draft 2) Christian Darrisaw - #12 Prospect in draft 3) Rashawn Slater - #14 Prospect in draft 4) Samuel Cosmi - Late 1st Round Grade 5) Liam Eichenberg - Late 1st Round Grade 6) Teven Jenkins - Early 2nd Round Grade 7) Walker Little - Mid 2nd Round Grade 8 ) Alex Leatherwood - Late 2nd Round Grade 9) Stone Forsythe - Late 2nd Round Grade 10) Dillion Radunz - Early 3rd Round Grade 11) Jalen Mayfield - Mid 3rd Round Grade 12) Spencer Brown - Late 3rd Round Grade 13) Jackson Carman - Late 3rd Round Grade 14) Brady Christensen - Early 4th Round Grade Notes: - Sewell I see as a Franchise LT for the next ten years pretty easy. - Darrisaw I see as a Franchise RT for the next decade, but could also play LT if you really need him too. - Slater to me is better suited as a Center in the NFL, but he could be an Above-Average Tackle at either spot. - Cosmi I think will be a very solid starting RT for a decade and the draftnik community is sleeping on him. He's battle tested, extremely good run blocker, and also a very good pass protector who shut down many elite rushers. - Forsythe I think teams will be higher on than the draftnik community. 34" arms and outstanding pass protection. Needs to be coached on run blocking. - Radunz I'm a little lower on than most. Pretty raw, and pretty undersized. Boom or Bust LT. - Teven Jenkins, Jalen Mayfield, Jackson Carman, and Brady Christensen are all guards to me in the NFL. I feel Jenkins is getting massively overhyped because of his "mean streak" and play style. He would need a lotttt of coaching, and technique is not very good, including his footwork.
