[Woodie]

Arms are 33 7/8, same as Lewan and longer than Matthews. I need to find what Gross' were.

33 1/4

34 1/4"

 

You've given Gross an extra inch!

I hope it's jusr speculation on Tony Pauline's part about the trade up scenario. I would hate to give up picks, even if it gets us Lee or Cooks. I would be ok w/Bitonio. Mike Mayock loves the guy.

Who the hell is Mike Mayock?

[Gabeking]

1. Joel Bitonio, OT, Nevada

2. Allen Robinson, WR, Penn State

3. Kareem Martin, DE, UNC

Lets do this. :P

I like your style

Strengths

Plays with vinegar and seeks to bury defenders -- nasty finisher who runs his feet on contact and consistently blocks defenders off the screen. Extremely tough and durable. Highly versatile -- can play any position on the line. Outstanding personal character and football character -- work ethic, leadership and responsibility are all exemplary. Produced the best 10-yard split (1.69 seconds) and 20-yard split (2.80) of any offensive lineman at the combine.

Weaknesses

Tends to shoot his hands wide and needs to improve placement -- too grabby. Slips off blocks and could stand to play more under control. Operated heavily out of a 2-point stance and might need to get acclimated to playing with his hand in the dirt. Average knee bend in pass protection.

Draft Projection

Round 2

Bottom Line

An undersized college left tackle who projects best to the inside in the pros. Displays the tenacity, leg drive and mean streak that is highly coveted by OL coaches and could drive up his draft status. Could require some initial patience moving inside, yet possesses the skill set, intelligence and desire to successfully convert.

lol so a first round draft pick on a guard?

Bitonio is basically a poor man's Zack Martin

[KendrickPanther]

Talk about reaching...If they did this. It would be stupid. Just plain stupid. They clearly said they will not trade up or reach for need...I mean freaking A...Can't wait for the draft to be over with. All this idiotic speculation will be over with.

 

It's only stupid if it doesn't work.

Would love him in the second round if he falls but not to keen on getting him in the first round, him over Moses any day!

Mayock seems to think he is a LT as well

I just don't see it. If anything would be a reach this would be. He might not even be able to play LT

[AceBoogie]

With so many quality WR in the draft, I find it very hard to believe Gettleman would do such a thing.

Marqise Lee is worth trading up to 19, if he lands in the right situation he can have a Keenan Allen type year.

For a guy with his injury history i dont think if its worth it, not everyone is as lucky as Hardy....
