Awesome, figured AdamJT13 would get the lowdown. I was happy with the pick but now I am even more excited.

Didn't know anything about the guy before we drafted him but he's starting to sound like a very good player. Found a proflie on him earlier today that said he only gave up a total of 3 sacks his last two years in college.

Also, those two games were in his first year at playing LT. Prior to his senior season he played LG. Not bad to go up against the 4th overall pick in your second game ever as an LT and hold him to that little production.

In addition, under their scoring system he graded a 81.2 season grade percentange. Generally, 80% is a winning grade, 90% is excellent (think Joe Thomas or D'Brickashaw Ferguson).

In their system players receive a starting grade of 70%. Players have points deducted for sacks, pressures, tackles for losses, solo tackles, assisted tackles & fumbles they allowed vs. their main competition in one-on-one situations.

Players then receive positive points for knockdowns, touchdown-resulting blocks & downfield blocks.

Players then have points deducted for penalties (more for flagrant penalties).

Thanks Adam.

Sounds like a very promising player, it feels good to finally have some talent on the O-Line.

A lineman from B.C is what I wanted. B.C lineman are so Pro ready! Something about their line coach, just makes them special players.

That definitely makes me feel better about the pick. Also, I read that he is very versatile and can play any position on the O-Line, including Center, but I don't know about a 6'8" guy playing Center. I guess in an emergency it would be better than some of our other options. It also allows us to keep fewer OLs on the active roster as he can back up multiple spots, theoretically of course.

Not a real sexy draft for us so far but a productive one. Getting Cleveland's 1st rounder next year was the coup de grace.

Very true!

Great post Adam! Thanks!

Sounds like a Marc Columbo clone. I think we did pretty well with the pick.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

What is wrong with that? Looks better then the BP Jacob Rogers pick

 

[STSINAZ]
