OG or RT?? Not sure where they plan to play him. He's a hogmollie for sure though!!!

He will compete with Williams for RT spot and potentially replace Norwell at OG.

Depth is crucial as well. 

Remember last year when Oher smushed his brain, Remmers moved to LT, Williams got injured and Turner moved over to RT?

Yeah, that won't be happening again.

Good depth player but we nee a TE, move up for Leggett

I have not read this thread beyond this early post--I think this is our next RT.  Maybe not immediately, but maybe immediately.  He is good.  I watched a few games last night--his technique is solid--except for his hand placement and hand speed--which is why I say this guy projects better to RT than RG.  He will be a starter--probably never a pro bowler but an upgrade over Remmers and Williams.

Does this mean Oher is done?  Not completely, but it makes you wonder.  It could mean that we are not going to re-sign Turner next year, move Williams inside to G....

Our OL just became a good one.  B- or B good.

This. That's why I'd prefer us to keep Oher at LT if he returns. Let him and Kalil battle it out for LT and actually have a competent backup at that spot for once. Can't have one injury forcing us to shuffle our entire OL.

As hard as it is to get good offensive lineman . I can't see not retaining norwell or turner chemistry is a big thing for offensive lineman. Unless a bad injury hits or they ask for way too much money i hope to retain both.

Oher won't be touching the field anytime soon as long as he is still in the protocol. Won't be surprised if moton is the starter going into the season.

I have warmed up to this pick some.

From yesterday to today........

Cautiously optimistic.

I think it is cool that his aunt and uncle are Panther PSL owners

Doubt he is jumping Williams out the gate.

All I'll say is wary of the guy that plays across from the best player in the draft. 

Call it Ryan simms syndrome.

I'm not sure if I hope you're right or not. I would kind of like  to see Kalil and Oher get back to their old selves and fight it out over who starts at LT and the loser goes to RT. That would be a pretty darn good O-line with Norwell and Turner as the guards and Ryan at center.

id like oher to start but idk if he will and this guy was one of the best pass blockers in college
