***4-7 round draft day thread***

These sports science guys are going to revolutionize the way prospects are evaluated.
 
Add to OL depth. He's got good size also. I really can't complain about this draft.
 
Young was a blue chip prospect, out of Florida, that became an instant starter his freshman year and has been a mainstay on the offensive line for the Irish. He is a massive blocker with long arms that can simply engulf opponents once he gets his hands on them. He lacks top initial quickness and can be beaten off the edge by explosive edge rushers. While he has started at both left tackle and on the right side he is best suited to be a right tackle in the NFL.
 
The knock on Young is that he's a bit soft and that he doesn't have a lot of upside. Here's hoping Houck can coach him up.
 
If we can get Eric Olson with our next pick in the 6th I will be stoked. This will have been a damn near perfect draft.

If he can't cut it at RT he could be moved inside to guard ala Bigg and help plug the middle.

I think the kid will be lucky to make it out of camp.

According to Ourlads, "Tough and will play injured; is durable"

"Has all the measureables - athletic ability, long arms and big hands for the right tackle position . . . . does not play to athletic numbers"

So he might have had sex with someone's sister but it wasn't his?

That's always good, but not Ben good.
