I'm sorry I just don't buy this whole Clowney is lazy narrative. 9 hours ago, LORK88 said: Hypothetical question for everyone. Let's say Hutchinson goes #1 and Hamilton goes #2. Assuming trading down is not an option, who do you go with at #3? I'm starting to get worried this is a possibility that happens to us. Thibodeaux all day.

We watched it happen for multiple years. I mean I guess you could argue that no NFL player can truly be “lazy” but dude has serious problems with his motor. It doesn’t run all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 People are saying Jalen Wydermyer might not get drafted. Man he’s got a chance to be a great two way TE. No way I wouldn’t take him come round 6 if he’s there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude ran a 5.03 40 yesterday and he’s considered a receiving TE….I also saw him drop countless of very catchable balls this past season.

There not many guys who just impose their will in the NFL, you have to have some sort of technique that is constantly refined. Walker might be a player one day, but I don’t think he’s a day one impact player. You could probably say that about a lot of highly rated guys, guys going in the 1st - but a pick at 3 needs to be that sort of guy, IMO. Walker could be better than Hutch or Thibs one day, but Hutch/Thibs will be better this upcoming season, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calzada throws the ball 100 miles an hour on 3 yard out routes. He didn’t have drop problems prior to this season. Dude can play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those routes were down the field. Not like it was a 5 yard checkdown to a RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Let's say they go Evan Neal or Ikem Ekwonu at 3, who goes to Guard? Tytus Howard or the Rookie considering tackle is Howard's best position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal/Icky is the body you put at G, IMO - both have experience and success at the position. It allows you to let Howard walk if his contract demands are too high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumberjackchris Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 I honestly cannot see us taking a lineman in the 1st. We’re seriously lacking playmakers on both sides of the ball. And I’m pro building the team inside out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team lacks playmakers but those can be found later. I’d go DL/OL, but I can agree with this premise. I also don’t want to do the same “square peg in a round hole” nonsense we’ve done recently, moving T to G and preaching versatility on the OL. Neal and Icky are Ts. As of now, we have two starting Ts - drafting them to play guard is a waste of their potential (and our time). I want guys who have played the position at a high level and will continue building on that experience by not having to learn new responsibilities. We’ve been conditioned to look at OL as interchangeable by Bill O’Brien and his philosophy - is that a good idea, listening to BOB on football? If you want to draft a G, start scouting Kenyon Green and Zion Johnson - guys who understand the position from playing at a very high level for a while, not just a few games as a FR or Soph. (While we’re at it, move Max Scharping back to T, where he played most of his college career - playing G is simply lost on him). I’m not opposed to Green at 13, he’d actually be a really good pickup, and there’s no question on who fits where - Tunsil and Howard are T, Green and (TBD) are guards. As I said with Tyler Linderbaum - I’m ok with a guy who plays only one position, but plays it VERY well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 There’s no way we go lineman at 3 and not plan on them being a tackle. I could see maybe them playing guard for a year but the plan would be to get rid of Howard if he can’t move to guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair with Green, he's played every position on the line at A&M, but he is a G at the next level. I'm hoping his poor combine and pro day numbers lets him slip to us at the top of the 2nd. But I would like to have coached a 1st round pick! I already got a 2nd rounder last year when Washington took UT OT Sami Cosmi. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
