GunnerBill Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) I like Murphy too. I have a 2nd round grade on him actually. Watched a few of the late round tackles last week. He was by far the most impressive and I really like what I saw. Edited April 13, 2016 by GunnerBill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokestradamus Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hmmm...I feel like someone on this board has been promoting Murphy for a few months now... And someone has been driving the Thuney train almost solo for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokestradamus Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) I got a chance to watch some of Brandon Shell, the OT from South Carolina, in the Kentucky game. Apparently, he's Art Shell's nephew. I think there's a lot to work with there--he's got a powerful lower body, and really gets off the ball well. Generally does a good job of mirroring in pass protection, and has a devastating cut block (when he times it properly). He needs to clean up his footwork, as well as improve some pad level issues. He also gets caught lunging when a speed rusher tries to take him outside. I think he's got the look of a 3rd/4th round pick. He reminds me a lot of Daryl Williams of Oklahoma last year, who I also graded in the 3rd/4th. I don't think he'll ever be a pro bowl guy, but he's probably a guy that can compete for a starting job at RT. Anyone else see more of him and have opinions? Finally got around to re-watching him and I'm glad I did. I don't know if I watched 2014 games after he tore his labrum (offseason surgery to correct it) but he was much improved last season. For the most part, I agree with your assessment of him. Pure speed guys will eat him alive (Charles Harris from Mizzou got him outside and then victimised him with a spin move inside). He's a guy that I like as a swing tackle (better LT than RT for me). Tested pretty well for a guy his size and he's already battle tested with 48 career starts. Add him to Parker Ehinger and Halapoulivaati Vaitai as guys I'd like to add to the mix early Day 3.

Blokestradamus Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Just putting it out there; Jerald Hawkins of LSU is the single worst OT I've watched all year. Limited athlete with almost zero technique. A guy I don't draft in any round. Developmental would insist on there being talent to develop.

Blokestradamus Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Absolutely love this dude. Swing OL candidate early on, get bigger/stronger, replace Incognito in Year 3. @PFF_College NC State T/G Joe Thuney allowed only 14 total pressures on 843 pass block attempts the last two years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokestradamus Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Just watching Germain Ifedi vs Ole Miss. In the first quarter alone, he's not been called on 4-5 probable false starts. Guys are talking him up in the 1st and he can't even execute the fundamental basics of football. Gave him a UDFA grade. He can go !@#$ himself.

Blokestradamus Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Lol. This is how scouting reports should be written. You should see my handwritten notes on guys like Scooby Wright and Shawn Oakman. They would severely test the language filter. Ifedi is a technical mess. He's lazy and fails to adequately prepare. Guys like him aren't worth my time. Edit: On the plus side, he did inspire this - https://twitter.com/Tanner_ASU/status/660143251005898753 Edited April 20, 2016 by Blokestradamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokestradamus Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) The big dog has spoken. Sorry, Conklin fans. When Duke talks OL, I listen. Duke and Geoff Schwartz will have a podcast dedicated to the draft soon, I'll post the link. @BigDuke50 Take it how you want it... there are 4 tackles worth taking in the 1st round: 1)Tunsil 2)Decker 3)Stanley 4)Whitehair (Projects to OG) Edited April 22, 2016 by Blokestradamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Decker makes it to 19, I don't see how he's not BPA. Something ridculous happens if he's not, like Myles Jack falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not quite as down on Conklin (he is the 4th tackle for me and a late 1st) as you but with the principle I agree, especially about Decker being BPA at #19.
