I like this guy, but Jordan is bigger and played with Haskins, why I asked. From the film I’ve watched just since the pick came up, he’s fundamentally sound, looks like a very savvy guard that understands how to pick up late a/b gap blitzers (something that has killed us in the past) and he’s stronger than all get up. He’s not overly athletic but he has a natural center of gravity and understands angles which can mitigate it. Not sure I’d call him a minus athlete for that position either.

Seems meh. Poor size? This guy benched 38 reps and is 315lb and is “explosive”. It’s going to be fun watching him in Oklahoma drills during camp because it’ll be like trying to go through a semi. You can’t bull-rush a guy like that - you’ve got to go around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY-KILLA- Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Love the Guard. Why? I'm just assuming they go to Callahan and say this is who is available tell us who you want and who you could work with? Seems like a WorkHouse. Super strong/Super Smart. Looks like he's got a mean streak. Welcome to the team WES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 5 guys at the same position ranked higher! What were they thinking!” What's amusing is people like yourself don't understand how vitally important day three picks are for the success of a football team.

If he goes against a 6'4-6'5 DT/DE with a good wingspan and who can use his hands well it could be problematic. I'm certainly not saying it's the end of the world or a bad pic, just that I can see it as a concern for teams and probably one of the reasons why he isn't really on many peoples' radars. If he has the flexibility and core strength to bend and absorb contact this becomes less of an issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arm length is important for sure. I watched that highlight video posted above. And he is excellent in pass pro. Especially trading off blocks with other linemen. Not much video on there of him getting to second level in run blocking. But the few that were shown were good. No pulling at all in that video that I saw. So I am not really sure how he would do in that regard. He is a project that is smart. physical and strong. I am guessing Callahan was pounding the table for him.

There where better players So I just sit back and see what happens. This guy isn't small though. He's shorter, but not egregiously so for an OG. He's heavy and nasty it seems like. Reiter was legit small, less than 300 lbs if I recall correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus T Firefly Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 The thing that cracks me up every year on this board: "Good pick" "I agree. A real sleeper" "Totally. We got good value" "I don't like the pick" "OMG!!!! SINCE WHEN ARE YOU A F-ING EXPERT!?!?!?! WHAT THE HELL QUALIFIES YOU TO JUDGE DRAFT PICKS!?!?!?!"

And possibly the best, or 2nd best. Thanks for the math lesson but I was wondering what the players name was. Professor Peregrine lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskin4ever Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Fans crack me up. You take the guy everyone says you should, and they complain “taking the flashy pick. Took style over substance. They just want to sell tickets”. They take a football guy that isn’t who they expect “what a waste. They should have taken this guy I heard of instead.” Just always something to complain about.

nonniey Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 The Wes pick didn't really upset me Would have been happier to trade down and take him later or Jordon with that pick. However, they drafted Roullier and everyone was saying he went too soon too. If he pans out great if not - ammunition attack the FO with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskinss Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I'm not sure why the Redskins do any scouting at all. Apparently if they want to keep the fans happy they should just go to the top of "mel's best available" everytime it's their turn and they'll never go wrong.
