Voth predicts Hunter Henry

[Nick_81]

 

Ah, much better.

Yup, mark any concerns from me off for the 30 pick.  Olsen, while great is long in the tooth, and 2 TE sets can be lethal with so many teams having to play nickel and dime all the time.

Could help extend Olsen's career some as well, if he's not on the field 99.999% of the time.

Agreed, and outside of Cam, I think that losing Olsen would be the biggest blow to our team as a whole.....as far as direct wins and losses.

I have really warmed up to H Henry as the pick....would LOVE to get back to 2 TE sets with two legitimate threats.

KB, Funch, Olsen, Hunter, with Stew in the backfield would be a little intimidating to the soft ass Falcons and Saints.

I mean really....how the hell would you stop that formation in a Red Zone situation.

This would be the year that we could take Henrys in the first two rounds and there still be plenty of DE's available after

I want this to happen.

I rather go  KB -Olsen on outside with Henry  or (Ginn & Brown) with underneath crossing routes or quick slants. Balance it up

Hell no....Olsen or Henry is a way more dangerous option underneath in the Redzone.  They have great hands and are matchup nightmares with LB's.  For the speed guy to have the huge advantage, you would want more open space....not in a short field red zone situation.

Just the PI calls we would get would be huge with that "jumbo" package...or whatever the hell they would call it.

[SinaloaPaisa]

I just want to fix our pass protection problem with fast pass rushers. This destroyed us in the Superbowl. 

I do not care about anything else. As we are fine with every other facet of our team. 

Draft will be fun and improve us, but man I dont want to have to rely on Rimmers blocking Vone Miller again.

Yeah, I understand.  I'm not high on a couple of the guys they've been mentioning in the first.  I don't have much of an opinion on H. Henry, because I haven't really put any time into him.  I've been hearing he's not a great blocker, but his NFL draft profile says the exact opposite.  It says he's a "stud" run blocker.  Just reading that makes you think, "damn, this kid might be a baller.

STRENGTHS

 Flat-­running stud as a run blocker and a big part of Arkansas' running game success. Strikes into the frame of defenders with inside hands and blocks with a wide, strong base. Able to turn outside linebackers and cornerbacks out of their run fits and sustains his blocks as long as he can. Had no drops and 51 catches this season. Able to secure contested catches and eminent hits won't scare him away from the catch. Able to work all three levels as a go-­to target. Too talented to be covered by most linebackers. Able to run a variety of routes and has no reason to leave the field.

WEAKNESSES

 Don't need much space for this section. Can get a little grabby as a run blocker and was penalized for three holding calls in 2015. Is a little upright into his breaks with rounded turns over sharp cuts. Is a little labored when adjusting his routes to traffic.

Sounds like he's pretty boss.  If he's anything like Olsen, on top of being a "stud" run blocker, how do you pass on him?  Like I said though, I don't know enough about him to have much of an opinion.

Yeah, whoever said he wasn't good in run blocking is a moron.

Kid played in a primarily run-centric offense at Arkansas and rarely came off the field.  You don't play TE in that offense and not be able to run block.

Some folks think if you don't pancake somebody or push them down the field every time, you're not a good run blocker.

Reality is "getting in the way" is often all you need.

Olsen and KB would draw more attention but this is going off madden 16 plays. you can scheme it so many ways with personnel

Never ever ever use Madden as any sort of indicator of real world football.

Never.
