David Arkin OG

[kiheikiwi]

sorry but again, underwhelmed. I have that whole disapointed feeling again like the "special teams" draft a few years ago. Pick number 1 great, the rest meh ...

 

[Zaxor]

I wouldn't be surprised if they make him a G/C

 

[dbair1967]

Pleased with this pick. Liked him when I watched the East-West game.

 

[RS12]

competition ?

I would have prefered a trade down, but it will do..

I never really thought Brewster would make it of TC.

I like the pick, but I hope that he can play this year at some point. That may be wishful thinking. He's athletic. I like that aspect. If DeMarcus Love is there in round 5, I'd take him, too.

I like the fact that the Cowboys are letting the draft fall to them and are not moving all over the place. They seem to be just following their board. I'm good with that.

i live 10 miles from mo state campus. good kid. had a good combine and post season. i like the pick.

 

[ThreeandOut]

Probably means that Kosier and Davis start this year then maybe Arkin replaces Davis in 2012.

Yes because there was so much else to choose from in Round 4. We need help and competition on the oline. This is nothing but good at this point. There is always one that complains about nothing.

I think they take a shot at Cannon in 6 or 7 if available.

 

[Woods]

wonder if they also look at him at Center?

 

[AdamJT13]

Goose have him in top 100?

Goose ranked him 100th.

 

[jblaze2004]

Mayock said we move him inside. for depth and maybe sooner or later start in there. Davis is all but gone too. He hasn't played well and I rather have holland start at this point. Hopefully arkin plays well soon

yeah davis seems to have no lateral agility

Me too. Not enough picks this year to do much really. They probably would have to give up picks next year, not a fan of doing that myself.

 

[burmafrd]

NFLcom says he has killer instinct. That is good.

I have to agree.

 

[CarlAllDay]

Trent dilfer says that he will be a big time star at guard! He said that he's one of the best lineman in the draft a small school special..... Wow

 

[bayeslife]

This might make sense of the Murray pick then, if they had this guy targeted.

Nice pick.

 

[Walker]

He will probably replace one of the guards, not this season but the following one. They were all giggly in the war room over this pick and turned it in quick.

 

[SDogo]

I'm confident in saying with in 3 years this kid will be starting at OG and fans will fall in love with his nasty lunch pail attitude.

Go ahead and hate now but your going to love the attitude he brings to the game.

Great Pick....6'4" 300....5.3 forty and 25 reps....rated 7.5 by kiper.

Started all 44 games of his college career, freshman through senior years...lol.

31 starts at RG...final 13 starts at LT...senior year graded out at 87% with 82 knockdowns.

Didn't totally dominate his final year at LT the way he had at RG, but it was a pass protect first position...solid job of sustaining blocks and no trouble getting to the next level.

Seems our vision for the OL is to infuse better run blocking with guys who can move well and get to the outside and to the second level, but I love taking guys with lots of pass protection experience and moving them to OG.
