2024 Comprehensive Draft Thread
Always A Commander Never A Captain replied to zCommander's topic in The Stadium
The measurements during the combine were at 33 and 1/8th, then they changed to 34 a few days later. Seems like there was an error somewhere. Ah, I think I see it. Fuaga's arms are now coming in at 33 and 1/8 down which is a bit shorter than it first was measured at. I think they put Fuaga's arms as Fashanu's and have since corrected it. I'll just go with Fashanu at 34" unless Brugler lists it otherwise. -

Arm length is a bit unknown. Different sources have different combine measurements. It's either 33 and 1/8th" or 34". I also don't think his advertised physical traits appear on film. If they did, he wouldn't have such issues moving in space or an inability to run block like he does. All he can manage is to wall off defenders in the run game, he can't really connect in space, he's a bit clumsy when changing directions, he can't drive to widen a run lane. It's like all of his movements are refined for pass blocking only and he looks like a fish out of water when doing anything else. I don't think Fashanu has as high of a ceiling as other prospects. Fuaga, Mims, Guyton, etc are guys with higher ceiling who are likely to be drafted later than him. He's just a bit more pro ready at pass protection with a high floor for that skill set. That is until I saw his tiny hands and possibly (unclear) short arms. -

I'm not seeing it with AD Mitchell. He seems to be a pretty polarizing prospect where people think he's either worth all the hype or are just confused with how he's gotten so much hype. But the rest of your list I also think are guys with likely better than expected Pro careers. I haven't looked at Byron Murphy though, and I'm waffling on Bowers as TE's are unusually hard to project. -
Disagree so strongly. Gruden would not have survived the Snyder culture of team wide sexual harassment revelations. He had his own skeletons. Gruden was busy getting drunk 10 hours before games while trying to cheat on his wife. His offense was not good. I remember Chris Cooley saying Gruden was not accepting input to help his play designs. Or shift them based on opponent. Gruden was the best Snyder could get after chasing the Shanahan's out of town. The next replacement happened only because he had to throw in General Manager power to Rivera, who was in way over his head. Rivera only realized he needed to hire support staff to help him GM 2 years into it. Was Rivera good? No. But Bruce Allen and Jay Gruden were worse. They would have torpedoed us to the point Snyder would have traded the farm for Trey Lance. Sean Payton revitalized Russell Wilson from his awful 2022 season to the point we have to wonder how much was Wilson and how much was Sean Payton. Him jettisoning Wilson has to be a yellow flag at best for Wilson treading water productions wise in 2024.

I'd heavily wager both still suck but can also say it's still an upgraded QB room. Pickett was way worse than I thought he'd be. -

I've got Fashanu down further than that. I'll probably be wrong, but I think he's got clear limitations. It's a risk. I'd rather roll the dice on drafting double OT with an OT in the 2nd and an OT in the 3rd than trade up for Fashanu. There are some good prospects on Day 2 to roll the dice on for development. -

The Panthers also have a terrible owner who meddles as badly as Dan Snyder did. -

You're a huge believer in Justin Fields I take it. Does his lack of trade value change your opinion on his abilities at all? -

So everyone knows, Dillard has a Guard body trying to play OT. He was worse at OT than Wylie was last season. Led the league in sacks allowed. Anyone who is worse than Wylie can't be an option for us. -

Well, there goes Forbes starting spot. (Not complaining at all) -

Hmm, I've gotta choose a source to trust for his numbers. I think I'll wait for Bruglers beast before I commit to his arms being either short or OK. His small hands fit better with his shorter arms, but people have odd proportions all the time so who knows. -

I'm positive that Fashanu's arm length measured in at 33 and 1/8 inches. Why am I now seeing 34 when looking it up in half the spots online? It's not like he was remeasured. -

They'll draft Nabers. Who is an amazing prospect. -

On one hand Caleb Williams never likes to throw the types of routes Keenan Allen is awesome at. On the other hand Keenan Allen's late route double moves are pretty good and Caleb will buy enough time to throw some of those.
