Yeah. Agility is the main rub in this guys case. Wonder if he will ever be a decent route runner. No suddenness or change of tempo. Ok I guess for a fifth round need selection. He's headed to the PS imo.

Yeah re scheme I feel that his alleged lack of mobility has been exaggerated a bit. There are examples of him showing sufficient quickness pulling and even to the second level and very good field awareness with the Gators. He will never be Jerry Kramer and it's also fair to wonder how he will fare in pass pro against some of the great speed rushing DEs and 3 techs he will now be facing but I too will be interested to see what Kromer is able to do with him. All rooks face à learning curve. As a prospect the guy was a steal where we got him.

When he gets his hands on you rep is over. Not the best fit scheme wise but a huge upgrade to the OG position nevertheless.

I thought one of the weaknesses/areas for improvement was sometimes slow getting to the spot because processing. He can run with TEs but needs to improve processing/recognition. Hes an interesting player and not a bad pick all things considered.

Looks like his dog died.

Ball skills, body control, hands. All NFL caliber.

YES!!!!!!

Agreed.

I wanted Addison before I saw his suit.

No free release in the bigs. Need more than a couple of go routes. There will be good prospects available in the second through fourth rounds.

Agreed. Still dont want him.

Wasn't very fast at the combine.

One stripe on his Pajamas..

Gonzales looks as happy as Stephon Gilmore was.

And if not he's probably a Raven.

Bigger and faster than James. Otherwise a similar player.

He didn't project to the left in college either. He was bad there in 2021. But he's an elite prospect on the right side.

Bijan's a good dude.

Word is he's a serious person.

He's Josh Allen.

I thought after they signed OBJ the Ravens announced that they were not in the running for DHop (presumably because of the cap). This was in response to Lamar's alleged request for OBJ and DHop. So they were presumably assuming the hit they would take if they signed Lamar to some contract and on the basis of an efficient management of the cap. I thought the Ravens might try and move up (if necessary) to land JSN in the draft. That's the guy who would be best for Lamar imo. Probably a better option than DHop all things considered. Maybe Baltimore revives their interest in DHop if they don't get their man tonight with Zona waiting to see how things shake out. The story has been discredited but it almost makes sense to me.

The concerns about his weight and football character were mentioned in I think a Chris Simms podcast. I should add that they weren't saying he was a bad actor just that he needed to develop his work ethic. I haven't followed the guy so honestly I dont know whether it's true. One thing I would question is his suitability for a zone run blocking scheme. He is obviously thought of as best suited for a power gap/man scheme which is not what Kromer runs.

You should be concerned about his weight and, in a similar vein, his commitment to playing football. He should be a top 20 pick but the concern voiced by many following interviews is that he simply has not bought in to being a professional football player. There were two. Him and O'Cyrus Torrance.

Explosive player. He's been on the move up (unfortunately) since the Combine. Early reports had him in the third or later. I think he will go second or early third. Another very interesting guy is the Spartan Jayden Reed, pegged as a fourth or fifth round prospect in what I've seen. Another guy who is explosive and extremely competitive. Like Mims great return guy too. He's decent size but plays bigger.

If you think Dorsey is capable of working two TE sets as a regular component of his offence and you think Kincaid is the BPA at 27 and the best remaining WR then there are at least reasons for taking him there. Thing is he can't really serve as an in-line blocker. For those favouring a TE early maybe LaPorta would be a better all round selection. He's a weapon for sure and reports I've seen say he's a good blocker.
