There's value in his ability to play four of the positions on the line and familiarity with the team. Also, you're acting like you're shocked that we drafted an OL. This is something we were all expecting/hoping for. Am I misunderstanding? Yes I'm just wondering why we chose to extend Hurst if the plan all along was to draft an OT to play at RT.

DreamKid Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Our second team IOL should acquit itself very well during the preseason, especially if we bring in another center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always viewed him as the starter at LG. Figured Lewis just kind of lost his grip on the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you need depth. Hurst will definitely play significant snaps. There a very small chance that you get 5 OL who last the season. It's rare, with 2017 Falcons being one of the outliers.

Just seems like an odd time to bring it up. I feel like everyone knew/hoped the plan was to bring in a RT/OT at a premium pick (day 1 or 2). Having 6 or 7 guys for 5 spots is where we need to be if the last several years are any indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some promotion from the bench with McKinney, but similar concept with our 2012 SB run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coordinator0 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I like it. Brown is always going to have some issues going against top-end athletes... but most OTs do. What Orlando does, he does very well. And I think he fits what D'Alessandris/Roman like up front. And remember, D'Alessandris worked with D.J. Fluker in San Diego and got something out of him. Regardless, this is the type of offensive lineman I like to see the team go with. Effective. Definitely not pretty, but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondbull424 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Really like this pick. When he gets locked onto a defender they don’t get off. Crosby and Brown were the two best run blocking OTs in this draft class IMO and so this will really help out our run game. Brown might struggle against speed rushers, but having drafted two talent tight ends with excellent hands we will likely force defenders to have to chip our tight ends before rushing upfield buying Brown more time to get set in his stance and dominate.

Mancunian Raven Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Third round is okay for this guy. But I still don't see him being a successful NFL Tackle. Size and strength aren't enough when you have truly athletic pass rushers to contend with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berlin calling Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 yep, being a 350 pound road block doesn't do in the NFL. i trust D'Allessandris to develop him into something but i remain sceptical with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamondbull424 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Man he looks like a beast in that picture. Would not want to run into him in a dark alley. Or a lit one. I think I’ll just avoid alleys all together now.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
