Where another "insider" thinks they are leaning at 26

[Hardline]

Right now he is in the top 50 range, certainly possible he falls to 58.

0% chance.

 

[Cowboyny]

0% chance.

He is a reach at 26, I have Schmitz, Torrence and Harrison ahead of him.

Me too. But offensive linemen get plucked up fast in the draft.

I fully understand that, but you also have to factor in Tyron starting. They aren't going to use a 1st rd pick to sit on the bench.

Dane Brugler has Avila ahead of Schmitz and Harrison.

He does, others don’t have the same opinion, especially Harrison

 

[MAZEREZAM]

I’d be good with this. I think I might like it better than my Washington, Hopkins, Bigsby draft. Avila, Marvin Mims, and Bigsby. That would be pretty nice.

the problem with this pick is not the player but i can pick 30 players i would rather have than Avila in the 1st RD.

Just like Tyler Smith last year.

Tyler Smith is a classic Cowboy pick,uber athlete with developing traits but Avila doesn't fit the mold.

To quote fellow zoners. "Reachhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

If we’re going offensive line at #26 I’d go Avila > Torrence all day.

 

[Aliencowboy]

Protect your QBs thumb and keep him playing all season
Steve Avila 6'3 334 Team Captain Position Flex C/LG
Played LG and allowed no sacks and 2 QB hits all last season. I'm sorry but this is a very likely Dallas pick. I'm all for it.

Torrence is a power scheme guard not zone. He's limited in his athleticism. That's why he is not top 10. Doesn't fit Dallas, but Avila does

How does he compare to Kenyon green and zion Johnson? They didn't exactly light it up as first round guards

This, and I loved both as prospects.

Guards are a lot like tight ends. Slow starters at a low value position, who often put in their best work for their second team.

What percentage of rookies “light it up?”

Rookie OGs are not unlike any other position; peaks and valleys. The good ones are positive contributors overall as rookies.

 

[Sydla]

Can get behind this

 

[NeonNinja]

Like the player but would prefer a trade down if possible then grab him.
