    Rd 5, Pick 141: C Sedrick Van Pran-Granger

    in The Stadium Wall

    Ok fine. It's a center from GA

    Since 2021, Van Pran-Granger has played in the middle of feisty offensive lines. He has short arms, strong hands and good size by NFL standards. He has the hand quickness, placement and play strength to scrap against the nose, while his innate sense of positioning allows him to beat defenders to the spot moving laterally. He’ll have some ugly losses as both a run blocker and in pass protection when he starts to play too far forward or his footwork gets sloppy in space. It doesn’t always look controlled or clean, but he’s a fighter who usually finds ways to get his guy blocked. He should become an early NFL starter as a Day 2 selection.

    That's correct.  

    And the last time I went to the doctor they said I was borderline obese (granted, I was 10lb heavier 6 months ago, but still...).  

    Anyway... point is that he's gotta have some serious muscle density, which is a great plus for a RB.  Looking forward to seeing Davis on the field.

    The stats always Surprise me. To simply compare our measurables to these high level athletes it is laughable. These guys are just built different. And most of us are 15 years older than them.

    His calling card is as a tough, inside-running guy, but he can be productive in the receiving game as well.

    ESPN just pointed out that he had the most receiving touchdowns for a running back in the SEC IN 25 YEARS (!), with 8. That's pretty impressive.

    To be able to go to your change of pace guy from James Cook and not necessarily lose anything in the passing game is a good thing.

    ESPN also said they see some Frank Gore in his game. I think he'll be a good complement to Cook. 

    I get the hand wringing over using a draft pick on a running back, but the Bills DID need one, and at least it's an offensive player.

     

    Read a report on him he runs tough as *****.

    I'm 3 inches taller than the RB we just drafted and this dude has 60lbs on me.

    I can't imagine being 3 inches shorter, 60lbs heavier, and not being fat lol.  

    Do you use hurricane straps when there is a storm?  My math is 5'11 and 150 lbs. Woah.

    NFL gives players the option to wear guardian shells during games.

    Yup, this right here, players also use substantially smaller pads than was common some years ago, are the pads better nowadays, or is it driven by fashion?

    Driven by competitive edge. The pads are smaller but more protective. Players over the last 10 years have been indoctrinated with mobility and calisthenic fitness over shear power and dynamic strength. 

     

    It never made sense for a defender to wear large pads to allow more surface area.  Offensive skill positions which must move through tackles and breaks also value this. 

     

    Some NT's and OL still have big wide pads but the large pads block movement and were always a hindrance
