Nebraska OL Draft Pick

[Verdict]

My son in law is a huge Nebraska fan, having grown up in far western Nebraska. I asked him about our new OL we drafted late in the draft. He indicated that he had filled in at center and had never missed a beat. Suggested that he had position flex and that his landing spot would probably be at center for the Cowboys.

Thought I would pass it on.

they cut adam redmond and didnt re-sign joe looney so he has a shot.

I was wondering if they hadn’t brought him in to compete at C.

I like the guy, particularly for a 7th round pick. He’s a pretty solid prospect actually.

33 3/8 inch arms I believe

Is that the same arm length as Lawrence? Should be good to go then.

It’s looking like they may be projecting him that direction.

Thank God his arms weren’t 1/32 of an inch shorter.

By cutting Redmond he will get plenty of snaps

I watched a video on him that said much the same thing. Apparently he’s played RY, guard, and a few games at center (which he apparently handled well). They said his best trait was his versatility but that he needs technique work. Also said he has vice grip hands and once he latched on, it’s over.

Word is on the street he can play all 5 position on the OL. He played center last year or the year before without any practice at it for 2 games and was stellar.

The guy was talented enough to play at a school like Nebraska.

With a year in an NFL strength program he definitely has a shot if the stars align for him.

I see him as a guy we will want on the PS as opposed to a camp body.

I actually think he may be on the 53 with our OL issues.

We need to hope not. That means some injuries.

The problem last year was the tackles.

Interior was decent....but it's time for McG and Biadasz to play full time along with the three studs.

CWill is not getting a second deal and McG is arguably better anyway.

 

[rathalarge]

I remember him struggling at OT, a lot of Holding calls, but he will battle!

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

I know they were also interested in Brenden Jaimes another versatile Nebraska lineman who played guard and tackle. He went in the 5th to LAC. Seems like Dallas scouts Nebraska pretty hard. R. Gregory, L. Gifford, M. Collins, and B. Maher to name a few.

Nebraska has a very respected weight training program so I doubt you are going to see the jump you think you will.
Its not as good as the OL factories Wisconsin or Notre Dame but its up there.
Iowa used to be up there but the last couple of years there have been real problems and I am not certain its all that good now.

 

[Gaede]

This was a nice pick. I don't know **** about this guy but he is an OL from an OL school. I'd make that kinda pick every 7th round in every draft

Good point.....although he will still have to deal with everyone being better than him in practice as opposed to the usual other way around.

I truly believe that being in the right situation can make all the difference to guys like this.

I have no idea if this is it, but I suppose we will find out.

Anything is a bonus from 7th rounders.

 

[ThreeandOut]

Thank God his arms weren’t 1/32 of an inch shorter.

I think there needs to be a minimum arm length requirement to post on this board.

Good pick. OL from those big programs are usually a solid bet late.
