He looks pretty damn good though I always struggle with how to deal with lower level dominance. Moves well and 33 inch arms though fringe can work at Tackle

Yep, I think heā€™s got a shot as an OT

He looks like a Colby

Yeah I think heā€™s definitely a T/G versatility pick, which is the direction I figured weā€™d go.

Looks like he was lined up pretty much exclusively at guard at the Shrine Bowl.

I just feel so-so about this draft.
Almost every pick felt like there were better guys still on the board AT the position we took!
Iā€™m big MCDC/Holmes fans but this one is hard to cheer.

Did our OL scheme switch from Gap to Zone with departure of Deuce? Jahmyr and this tackle are made for zone.

Last year we got Da Problem in the sixth round. This year we get Da Solution in the fifth round.

You got other film of him? All those clips from the link showed him at OT

Dudeā€™s a giant. Thatā€™s a Fraley pick right there. His fascination with Vaitai was in a large human being able to get out in space to block smaller dudes. Will have to see how Sorsdal did in the 2nd level to really make that connection.

Duke knows his stuff. Heā€™s a great OL mind and he often points out the best OL long before anyone else does. He recognizes the characteristics it takes to succeed at OL. I 100% trust his evaluations.

The Lions emphasized players that have done it. Five year starter. Even with lower competition playing is playing. Experience. I respect that mantra.

Hahaha!
No.

Do they? Honestly I was just repeating what the guy who linked it on reddit said, I didnā€™t actually watch the video myself. Phone is power-saving. Thatā€™s what I get I suppose. I know at W&M he was a right tackle only.
