We need to draft an Olineman from Hawaii

[Bob Sacamano]

Samson Satele, 4.29 short-shuttle, the differential between that and his 40 time is .90, that shows great quickness as .50 is considered quick, plus he's played OT, OG and C, and projects to both C and OG in the pros, many rate him as the #2 C, is a mean son of a gun to boot

other numbers:

1.75 10-yard dash
7.47 3-cone drill
25 benches

OT Dane Uperesa-6'5" 309:

5.3 40
4.58 short shuttle- .72 differential
1.76 10-yard dash
28 bench presses
33 1/2" vertical-best among Olinemen
9'6" long-jump-2nd best
7.66 3-cone drill

that is one explosive player

OT Tale Esera-6'3" 310:

5.33 40
4.72 short-shuttle- .61 differential
28 bench presses
32 1/2" vert
8'9" long-jump

quick and explosive as well, the best thing is that none of them have weight issues

We need to draft Doug Free. Among OTs he ranked:

Vert. Jump: 8th
Broad Jump: 2nd
Cone Drill: 1st
Shuttle: 5th

40-time for linemen is meaningless.

really?!! OMG

wait, where did I pimp any 40 times?

btw, a 9'3" long-jump is shorter than 9'6", Dale Uperesa has the 2nd best long-jump

You kept going on about the differential betwen 40-time and shuttle.

yeah, to show QUICKNESS

big difference, and which is much more important than straight-line speed for olinemen

btw, I like Free too, just bringing up some explosive linemen prospects that not many people are talking about

[Bob Sacamano]

71.1, that would be Dane Uperesa's strength and explosion # **anything 70 and above is considered elite**

69.4 for Tale Esera

66.5 for Samson Satele

If you're looking to measure explosiveness, or "quickness," I wouldn't include the 40 time at all.

Been pimping for Esera & Uperesa in my mocks. I think they'll be available w/ our multiple later round picks.....AND it's "Tala" not "Tale" Esera.....

[CrazyCowboy]

Wow.....those are great numbers for sure and he deserves a solid look see

[windward]

Satele is of course the best prospect of the three and most ready to play at this level. I think he'll make a nice pro. He also has a bit of a nasty streak.

Uperesa has really good measureables. He has the body, the "look" if you will. Pretty smart guy, went to Punahou, arguably the top high school academically in the state of Hawaii. He lacks the mean streak Satele has, though. He's never really been that way, even when we were kids. (He didn't need to be , of course, he was so goddammned bigger than everyone else.) I would take a look at him in the sixth/seventh round. He may develop into a nice prospect somewhere down the line. BTW, IIRC Uperesa is somehow linked with Mark Tuinei (Uncle or second cousin or something, a nice tidbit)

Esera's a nice college player, I'm not sure how well he'll be at the pro level, though.
