So, are they weighing-in/measuring the OL today? If so, are we going to get updates or one of those fancy spreadsheets from xwalker and the likes? Those are always great resources and much appreciated by everyone.

I'd be happy with either one but Cooper can play guard or center. Maybe we look for that guard that can play center to or that tackle that can play guard.

At least you have more options in that scenario.For example: Fluker, Cooper, Thomas, Jones, Frederick.

Great point. The team definitely values flexibility in their OL

Jones and Frederick in the second or third round though.

Brian Winters. He's probably the most flexible of all the OL prospects.

If we don't come away with Cooper, Warmack, Warford or Fluker in the first--and yes, I think Warford sneaks in round 1 like Zeitler last year--then I'd want Thomas or Frederick in round 2.

First... Anyone still worried about cooper's size?

Second... That's pretty good reach for guards. We need to get one of these guys.
I've been anxiously awaiting the info on these 2 players. That is exactly where I thought that Cooper would weigh in. I'm surprised that Warmack came in under his college listed weight of 322.

The excellent arm length is just a bonus on top of the already known ability of these two players.

I'm curious to see how these two do in the speed/quickness measurables.

Agreed. And I normally don't give two rat's behinds about the underwear Olympics but I do like to see how the OL does on the agility and the 10 meter "dash".

Other than that, what they do during this time has nothing to do with what type of football player they are, their game tape shows what type of player they are.

But for two players at the same position we're looking at, I like to see how they compare on the shuttle, 3 cone drill and the 10 yards.

This. Both are safe picks but too many holes on defense.

Read Fluker down to 339.

That's really good for him. If he can get to say 335 and show some agility, he's a 1st round lock and a guy I would go get! I love the way he plays. I just hate that he is so slow out of his stance in pass protection.

Fact: Kiffins defense wont work with current personnel. Huge holes on the D Line and Safety and one LB.

He really needed to come in lower than 339, IMO. At under 6-5, 339 is really heavy for an OT.
