Anyone else on the John Michael Schmitz bandwagon?

Apparently dominated the Senior Bowl and is now a late first/ early second round pick would have to sacrifice a round 1 WR for the guy but he would solve a couple problems. 
Is country strong at the point of attack so they could start him at guard and if Mitch retires would have your next center all ready to go. 
In addition could move Bates to his normal left guard position where he played really well last year. 
I’m starting to like it.

I could "gopher" him.

Sorry. . . . . . . . . .that was awful.

 

No coffee yet.

 

 

His stock has risen with the senior bowl, but I am hopeful that after all the school workouts and the Combine other "skill positions" will rise up the board also

 

and we can still swipe John Michael in the 2nd.

 

(Remember, no coffee yet)  😆

He was a high school wrestler. McDermott is most likely on board 


He recess really high grades from the MTC guys in their Evans and Bill Polian.  Coach Alexander who is an often guess and was a 35 yr O Line coach in the NFL.  He’s now one of those position gurus.

I agree…I think there will be too much too end talent to take him in the first…Humphrey went in the 2nd so I could see Schmitz going there as well…

Intriguing after the Senior Bowl. I read about him the other day per the write up on NFL.com when catching up with the Senior Bowl activities:

 

John Michael Schmitz, C, Minnesota

Schmitz is probably the most consistent player here. I'm not sure he had a bad rep in practice. He is strong, powerful and tough. He's interviewed really well during his meetings with teams this week. I've been told his character is off the charts. I don't see him being available beyond Day 2 of the draft. Schmitz is a member of the American team, which is loaded with future NFL starters on the offensive line, including Florida OG O'Cyrus Torrence and TCU OG Steve Avila, who showed he can all play all three spots on the interior during practice this week.

 

From nfl.com

(article covers many Senior Bowl Practice stand outs)

 

I've been wanting a particular C for two years now (Humphrey and Linderbaum) as a succession plan at C who could play G until a decision on Morse is/was made, and learn about calling out protections while Morse is still here. Nothing against Morse, but he is slightly above replacement level and now has 6+ documented concussions. Wanted to get Allen his stud 'career' C. Like Hull for Kelly, or Dawson for Big Ben. This guy fits the idea I have been wanting those two years. Will be looking for more about him.

Schmitz & Mauch would be a hellava combo in the first 2 rounds. We'd have to pray a diamond wr falls to 3rd?

Or is any free agent worth the cash? It's a tough order but I believe we gotta come away with two OL and one WR this offseason. Maybe one of the OL will have to be a free agent.

If Tampa ends up in a total rebuild, they have some nice OL to look at in a trade. Yeah that would mean cap manipulation, but a potential place to make some gestures.
