I was telling my buddy this on the phone 20 seconds ago.

Agree, great numbers. I just don’t see him as a freak show like Mims because he doesn’t move or bend like him on film. In time though maybe you’re right because those are great numbers that hopefully some day could translate to film

stuff said he also played LOG, guessing in high school

That guy doesn’t look 352 to me. I’m calling B.S. And he wasn’t invited to the combine, so he has no official weigh in. Get him on a scale and let’s see it.

He’s been an LT there for awhile now but think he might have played some OG early in his career.

4th round I would way rather be picking diamonds that need to be cut and polished than picking guys who can be average in the NFL but are about at their ceiling.

This dude has a couple years to get coached up and get even stronger before he needs to be a starter and will back up both T’s in the meantime

Has to be close to 380, at least he looks that on film. I’m hoping they put some serious time in year one losing weight

That’s a fair criticism but we’ve all been fans long enough to see the Millens and Mayhews nail that aspect of the draft process and then shit the bed when making an effective pick and putting a competitive team together.

I’ll take someone who may overpay but can put together a roster that can actually compete. Brad has shown he is probably that guy but I get it, been watching for 40 years, the benefit of the doubt is hard won for some of us.

It’s a big year for the team, need to prove the improvement is more that a one year phenomenon. I hope everything pans out.

380 might be right, and if I had to guess the shade off his ass weighs another 20 pounds.

Packers will look like high schoolers next to him too

I like watching him block dudes into the ground in the run game.

And he is quick enough that people don’t run around him successfully in the pass protection

He’s not too tall to play OG if you’re running the ball. Oh no, it’s a running play to the right, Manu, Sewell and Skipper to the immediate right of Ragnow…LOL That’s some shit right there.

Great point → then factor in how big an upgrade Gibby is over swift and the cost differential!

Holmes is a JedI!

His playing weight should be 325-330

118

Agreed. I think he definitely lost some weight for his testing, which is fine. They all do. But he should stay at that weight, or lose more.

119

Could be a lights out player if gets some of those LB’s off

You kiss your mother with that mouth??
