Some notes from Dane about interior lineman

[Plankton]

Ed Ingram looked good at Senior bowl practice and might be had at 56. He was a 88 prospect but after the Senior Bowl I dont see him falling

Ingram has some character concerns in and around a sexual assault accusation that could cause him to slide.

I am leaning this way as well however, if Johnson, the DE from FSU was there, I'd take him and then hope to come back with Zion Johnson in the 2nd if he's there.

I believe Zion is going to be a 1st rd player, at worst top of rd 2. There is a big gap, after the top 2 Guards.

Which would you rather have.......elite player at ONE position or solid player at several positions? My point, it's hard, if not next to impossible to master more than one NFL position, keyword, master. My guess the bad habits and penalties are from trying to play four/more positon at high level.

I suppose whilst you'd take 'elite' most of the time, our predicament may benefit from drafting a LG that could fit along the line, especially with injury prone LT and RT.
He plugs LG, but you can work out what his best use is, he could spot LT when Tyron gets injured .... and if, in practice, the evaluators think it viable he may be the longer answer to LT. It appears that Green wasn't playing the whole line because he wasn't good enough, he was played depending on the plays and what was needed.

I see but the question is how good of LT or RT vs ALL-Pro LG........remember he have bad habits and penalty issues. My point is if mastering/playing ONE position (LG) significantly reduce the bad habits/penalty issues. I think so.....

I'm looking at (possible) flexibility in the future.....in any case Green appears to be both best LG and potential flexibility.

Jerry recently said they are looking at position flex and lineman who can play in either Zone or Power schemes. Green certainly fits that critera.

Green and Zion are both cut from the same mold... super thicc and powerful people-movers, but I like Green's proven LT feet.

24. Kenyon Green, OG, Texas A&M (6-4, 325)
After starting at right guard as a freshman and left guard as a sophomore, Green was the only returning starter on the Aggies’ offensive line as a junior and was asked to fill in across the line, becoming the only NCAA player with 80-plus snaps at four different offensive line positions in 2021. He must fix the bad habits and penalties at the next level, but Green does a great job staying balanced before and after contact with the mobility and brawling mentality to win his matchups.

26. Zion Johnson, OG, Boston College (6-3, 314)
Johnson has a stout, developed body type with the patience and placement to plant and re-leverage himself to stay centered as a pass blocker. In the run game, he shows off his body control and drive strength to execute from various angles. Overall, Johnson will occasionally lose his balance, but his combination of play strength, muscle twitch, and reaction skills help him sustain consistently. He has the talent to carve out a decade-long career as an interior NFL blocker.

Jamaree Salyer is the answer at OG. 6’4 325 good OT that will be great at LG

He will be one to consider on day 2.

I don’t think so. I think after Zion you’re talking about more of the conversion guys like Rhyan, Salyer and Kinnard who are all quality prospects at OG.

Obviously we need to see what kind of athletes they are at the combine but at this point I wouldn’t consider it a stretch to call any of those dudes a top 50/60ish caliber prospect.

Dane has him at 30, seen a few other sites having him ranked as a top 40 prospect.

I'm talking about the others. I think right now they wouldn't be bad picks at the end of the 2nd.
