Defensive players as rookies are usually ahead of offensive players at that stage and many of those offensive linemen won't make NFL rosters... Secondly, he looked great against the top seniors (not the underclassmen) and that was in one-on-one drills... Third, Size, specifically Wingspan; he's only 6'1" and has average length arms; a 6'2" center or 6'4" guard is not going to have 1" or 3" more wingspan, it'll be way more, like 6" to 8", exponentially, and that means he'll get jammed up before he can get into an experience NFL offensive linemen... Fourth, this reeks of Sedrick Ellis 2.0; and this low-man bullshinki wins, well I can tell you, when you got big guards (like we had with Evans and Nicks) and they're basically coached, they'll roll that lil' linemen up and out all-day; and I played football, when I sprouted before everyone to 6'2", it was helluva lot EASIER PUSHING DOWN on guys than when some of them passed me and it was HARDER TO PUSH UP on 6'4" to 6'5"' so shove that low man wins crap, staying in a poised, crouch position is one thing, getting your head shoved down your arse gets tiring...fast... Fourth, Reggie Bush factor; just as Bush was All-World in NCAA because of his speed, in the NFL there were linemen just as fast and he had nothing else; Rankins will face men each week, even on bad teams, who can fold him up and push him out... My biggest issue is this see-saw BS back and forth in personnel philosophy... We were just a couple of pieces from completing the publicly declared 3-4 front and now we're going back to a 4-3; it's this lack of continuity of that is maddening; personally, 3-4 or 4-3 just get it done, without a USSR five year plan... Wanna be wrong, so wanna be wrong, but I've seen this before... ...the monkey never learns... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Looks like we may have to get a guard next. Did not see that pick happening.

Re: 2016 Saints Draft Live Discussion Thread
I never bought into the kid period. I had him as round 2 talent at the end of the year and nothing changed my mind during the off season.
but oh well the saints do it again and force me to watch and pray lee is right. |
