I could be wrong, but wasn't Olin Kreutz around 290 pounds usually?

Yes he was but he also was actually on the small side for a center but was also very strong and used his leverage about as well as anyone at the position. Plus he was the toughest SOB on the field in every game that he played.

The issue here is simple does Grasu have the strength right now to start in the NFL at center. He added weight and presumably some power. The question is how much power and strength did he add and is it enough. It would be nice to know what how much he can power lift and other measurables regarding this.

Kreutz started all of 1 game his rookie year and had a great career. Sheer stupidity to talk of Grasu being a bust at this point.

I guess that is what got him in the Pro Bowl so often. He was one of the greatest Bears of all time.

I forgot that I have to be obvious for people that can't detect sarcasm.

He's probably learned hot use his hands better and stay lower by now. It wasn't just his size/strength. Hope he does well.

But I was told he was a bust for not starting already.

No you were not.

You were told that if you redshirt a 3rd round pick that means he should not have been a 3rd round pick.

If he plays this week or next week than great.

I get it. That explains pretty much everything now. All of your posts must be sarcastic then because what you most often say is ridiculous:(
