blacklabel Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I read some scout quotes on this pick. Unfortunately, a really mean quote stuck out. A scout said, “I love his dad, he’s been a defensive coach for 30 some years. Luke ain’t *****, though, he’s nothing.” Swell, lol. I know it’s “how the old scouts talk” and all that, I’ve just never been a fan of describing another human so poorly. There are better ways to word “I don’t think he has what it takes” ya know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airseven Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I didn’t understand this pick either. The guy can’t move. He’s a camp body in the 6th rd. Other than being tall, I’d really like to hear the rationale for taking him over a player like West. Obviously there’s rationale - just want to hear it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemma Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Trig question - Case Keenum is 6’ 1”. Assuming that this guy is standing straight up and being shoved into Keenum’s lap, what is the required launch angle for a 5 yard dump off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Schick Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I had season tickets to Tech last year and got to see this guy a bunch. In person, he stood out as a massive dude who seemed to move around pretty well against solid competition (UNC, Notre Dame, Pitt). Tech had very poor QB play so they had to run it a ton, and the o-line did a pretty good job. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 He looked pretty good in my re-watch of the East-West Shrine game in the DVR. Nothing earth shattering, but he looked pretty good in pass pro and got some push. Seemed like more of a position blocker, like more of a get in the way and swivel than destroying people. But not the worst pick for a developmental tackle. But this feels a little like an “Austin Proehl favor to dad” draft pick. But the guy is big and has been around the game his entire life and from all accounts is a great kid. Fun fact, dad worked under Chan Gailey at Georgia Tech a while back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not the very top because the RAS goes back to 1983. There were Kentucky waterfalls galore in the 80's. But definitely in the mix for the past 30 years. Robert Gallery comes to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocCityRoller Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Happy they got a OL at some point, but there were 3 or 4 other OL who slipped to the 6th I liked more. Cade Mays, J Salyer, Lecitus Smith, Shaffer etc.... Alec Lindstrom went undrafted and I would have liked that pick more... OL not a strength of OBD.

McDeerInTheHeadlights Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 At a quick glance, the OLs we have signed as UDFAs seem to have more positive scouting reports. Regardless, our OL is very thin, not so much in numbers, but in quality, and a late round pick would have been a long shot at fixing that anyway.

He switched to OL from DL after his first year at VTech (I think, not 100%) so he had only played OL for a couple of seasons before Beane drafted him. The dude also had some major ADD that went unaddressed until like his final year in school. Supposedly it was impacting his play on the field, but he’s since sorted it out. The Bills must’ve done a decent job coaching him up given the pick they got in return for him. Put all that together and that’s how the dude has turned into an all pro. Teller had all the physical tools and just needed to sharpen his skill set and now he’s a top OL in the league. I think Tenuta has been playing OL for a while now and he’s just pretty average with what seems like below average athleticism right now. I’m not trying to knock your opinion or anything, I just think Teller and Tenuta are completely different players. They could certainly coach up Tenuta into a spot starter and a decent backup, anything’s possible. But just from reading and comparing the scouting reports on these guys shows that they’re on different levels in a lot of categories.

No_Matter_What Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 On 4/30/2022 at 11:43 PM, Ethan in Portland said: Unathletic too tall lineman. Barely a camp body. Would have preferred a S or an OG. I wanted an OT out of the top four rounds but gave away a pick and drafted an undersized LB. Oh well. Like I said they got a starting corner. The rest will be fighting for jobs. Why do you keep on repeating "undersized LB"? We already have one "undersized LB" and he is one of the best player in the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the position groups the Rams or Tampa Bay puts on the field. I do understand the trend is to have speed and range at LB. However, no linebacker including Edmunds or Milano can defend these elite TEs. So giving up size for coverage ability is not always a good trade off.
