Oh JP, don't let the 6'4 (length) fool ya. Look at how rookie of year - 2021 (former 1st rounder pick #13) Rashawn Slater dominated at OT.

Almost identical measurables to Ikem.
I was listening to Moving the Chains last week and they were talking about the OL prospects and specifically mentioned Ekwonu as someone not to overlook because he wasn't 6'7". They said fans and media get too hung up on some measurables such as height and arm length when it comes to offensive linemen and ignore technique.

Personally I wouldn't mind another Wolfpacker on the team. Vaughan Johnson was a pretty good one.

Just looking back at the last few drafts ... specifically WR.

Waddle, Ja'Marr C, Toney, CeeDee L, Judy, Jefferson, etc.

Teams selected these guys in the 1st rd. All of these guys are game-changers.

Can we please go get one in 2022?

If they do/can retain Winston he can surely succeed at QB with a focused MT and a guy like you describe.

Irregardless of how I feel, the Saints Scouting Krewe and Sean have stated their criteria (types) for certain positions; this has come up with respect to DE and IOL in past interviews...

Sean is no longer in the picture.

From the guy who's still digging through his trash and posting his every move here, speculating on where he'll land and what his reasoning is/was. You don't get the make that statement without getting pushback. Little speedo wants his cake and to eat it too?

Sounds a bit argumentative to me.

Takes a lot of nerve if you ask me (and I know you didn't). Even NOW, after a month of being shown his reflection, his behavior is maybe more subtle, but he's still an a***ole. An arrogant, racist, a***ole. Among many other things of course. :blueshock:

Sounds quite odd in wanting to have taller guys on the inside. They only get in the way of the passer. Guards and Centers are usually more runblockers than pass blockers since the technique becomes much more similar on the inside due to space constraints. That often leads teams to looking for shorter guys with big lower bodies so that they have a low center of gravity and the ability to anchor in the pass game and create a lot of force in the run game.

You would think that would be the case.

The first time I'd heard the Saints mention they had a preferred type or size for IOL was when Sean was talking about signing Goodwin, and he went into length on the IOL...

He said that was what attracted them to Carl Nicks was that as a big man like that engaged, it gave 'em some more range to get push on the inside. First I'd heard that thinking...

But if you look at what they've signed, used on the inside, even Center, rarely did they deploy guys 6' 3" at C or even below 6' 5" with Jahri Evans being the exception...
