And to be clear, I'm not saying we absolutely need to get an OL at 10, but I just don't think we can eliminate the possibility. It'll all come down to who they like and how the pieces fall.
The problem is that, for that very reason, other teams will be much less likely to give up that kind of draft capital. Everyone is going to see it the same way unless there's someone particularly special available at 10. The only type of player who can really move the needle like that is probably a QB.
I think this is an interesting graphic to look at to see how bad of pass rushers Williams and Stewart are. Neither should be the pick at 10 imo.
Jeez, well no thanks then. WTH.
Maybe the Cowboys get an itch for Jeanty if here's there, or some team convinces themselves that they need to move up to #10 to secure Dart. But yea, you're right.
Yea, that's ugly for Stewart and Williams.
Is that accurate? My quick Google search gives membou an 81inch wingspan, seems like a sizeable difference if true. I have seen arm length cited by many for other prospects but idk how NFL starting tackles size up as far as wingspan.
I wouldn't base a decision solely on that chart but it's something to consider. Stewart also produced very little in the run game. He just has no awareness or ability to flow to the play
Those are the exact names I thought about as I was writing. Hard to say what's what though.
Worst than just his arm length, Campbell's wingspan makes it even worse. Both are below average. Not confident the statements below are 100% accurate, but the data appears solid.
I feel like BJ is gonna get who he wants. If he felt strongly about a player, Poles would pull the trigger. Ultimately, Poles role is to get BJ the players he feels fits his vision.
I'm arms bad but then there's players that are just special that has so much talent in every other part of their game that they know how to overcome that one bad thing and i think that's Campbell. Now i'm also just a fan sitting behind a computer and while i also know it's impossible for even the GM's, Coaches and Scouts to 100% know, they better think they know and would be nice if everyone in the building feels the same way, or at least the GM, Ass. GM, HC and OL Coach.There is merit to it, though. If a defensive lineman gets into the chest of a Tackle too easily, that's very bad. A lot of that has to do with a motherfucker's T-Rex arms.
I'm in the camp of, "Short arms bad, but if you're sure about the guy, take him." But if it turns out that he can't play Tackle, and Kelvin Banks can(even though his arms are considered short, too lol), that's a pretty big ****-up.
It’s not poles love of long arm OT’s, these are percentages of the entire NFL. Even skater I’ve seen listed from 80.25-82 inch wingspan.
The exact same shit was said about skoronski and he’s playing guard. The titans have a bad OL and they don’t have him playing tackle
That's kinda what I'm saying. They better KNOW he's special, because if he's not, and then he ends up playing guard, people are gonna be talking about his arms forever. Lol.
I get it and am also down with going with one of the 3 (Campbell, Membou, Banks) but i do hate the idea of the chance that our #10 pick could end up sitting a full year. I know there's most likely going to be an injury even if it's only for a game or three but sure would be nice having a pass rusher who we know will be running plays every game and then hoping someone like Conerly or Erserly or Cam Williams and maybe even Josh Simmons if teams are really scared off by how serious of an injury he's coming off of at #39 or #41.
Doesn't mean he can't play there though. Didn't they draft JC Latham to play LT like 1 or 2 years ago? Think they did.
