REPORT: Joel Bitonio will be the pick at 28

[therealmjl]

I don't believe this poo

[Woodie]

lol so a first round draft pick on a guard?

 

 

He's pretty much the exact same size as Gross.  Why does he have to play guard?  Because some random analysts said so?

 

IMO, Bitonio is a meaner version of Gross.  I think he would be a great pick.

 

[Woodie]

Bitonio is basically a poor man's Zack Martin

 

Thing is, I don't know that he is all that poor.  He just played at a smaller school, so didn't have the same level of competition.  From what I've seen, I think he can be just as good as Martin...and I like Martin, think he can be pretty darn good.

If we take him at #28 I'd imagine the team thinks he can play tackle.

Mayock said on his draft special he thinks Oakland will trade up for our pick and we'll take bitonio with their 2nd round pick. I like this much better.

What are we getting in return? Id would do it for an extra 2nd or 3rd. Nothing below a 3rd though.

[AceMan]

I can see this...even as a G, I think we need him

[MedellinHeel]

you dont draft guards in the 1st if you have pressing needs at LT, WR, and CB. You can find solid starting guards in FA.

I can't reveal my sources, but I've heard that the Panthers absolutely will draft Greg Robinson if he's available at 28.

In 2005 the Patriots drafted Logan Mankins with the 32nd pick. He was a 6'4", 310 lb and played his entire college career at tackle. They started him at guard his first season and he's played in all 130 games since he was drafted and has been to 5 or 6 pro bowls in his 9 year career.

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

What makes you think he won't play tackle? His measurable are almost identical to Gross'. He's a technician with a mean streak.

Maybe bc people that get paid to evaluate players see him being a guard....?

Mayock has him as a T, Mayock is very accurate when it comes to OL. If he comes to Carolina it'll be as a tackle. Look at his numbers compared to Gross and then tell me why he can't play T.

no one said he couldnt play T, only that they see him playing G at the next level. ie he would be a better fit at G than T

Most of everyone is also saying that Moses is light on his feet. Which he isn't, he's very sluggish laterally and struggles with speed/agility rushers.

So, watch a bit and make your own opinion instead of going off draft sites. There's a ton of misinformation on prospects, even at major sites.
