LTs & arm length (basically: This draft's OTs are great but...)

Hold up. You're telling me the standard of arm length for the absolute monsters among men is 34 inches? And that a lot of the stars in the NFL don't even reach that threshold?

Jesus, I guess my 37 inch arms really are freakishly long. No wonder I can't find a got dang dress shirt that fits.

First post: "I don't believe arms length to be make or break"

Follow-up: "I'm posing the question with the thread.  Appreciate the points about leverage by come and the apt comp to Gross.  But it is true some staff's do in fact look at arm length as it is a big component to the position.  But as with everything it's one of many and countless exceptions to the rule are found that make up for it like Jason Peters, Joe Thomas, Jordan Gross as I mentioned."

I legit identified the variables and gave credence to them.  Am I in crazy land or is no one trying to gauge how in consideration of priorities and all variables considered, which guy we may like most?

Thread is strange; but not bc of the sax dude.  Which is a first. 

But @sax you should probably give it up, people are taking it as you saying arm length is a tell all, when you're clearly saying otherwise.

I'm confused...so support pantherclaw's post

Hurney sold us a cheap run down car.  Called him a First round draft pick and he wouldn't have been good as a 4th round pick.  Greg doesn't have the heart to play in the NFL.

 

His technique is what is really bad.  He relied on sheer power in college and everyone but the hurndog knew that

    • Something I find interesting is that you are more likely to find successful players as UDFA's than you are to find them with a single pick in any round past 3.  Those 3rd round compensatory choices?  Largely worthless.  Yes, I get it, there are a lot more UDFA's than there are drafted players in later rounds.  Basically, if you're fishing for starters you are simply not going to find anything in Rounds 4 - 7 with any regularity.
    • the argument that Dan Morgan was assistant GM for years while running counter to everything both his bosses signed off on (who look down at him and his staff for info).....is a tough sell.  I feel we do a variant of this every year.  You aren't this bad...becuase of 1 person.  You are this bad because of LOTS of bad people.  It was never just Joe Brady.  Which is why firing him didn't lead to better offense.  It was never just Matt Rhule.  It was never just Fitterer.    As bad as we are, we need to scorch Earth this puppy and quit letting people who were part of making the mess be the designed folks to lead us out of the mess.  when David Tepper and Jim Caldwell found the answer on the roster......it was clear from the jump nothing had really changed.   
    • "Buckaroo." That's good. 🤣👍 Mature beyond his years, clearly. Brian Burns was a far more justifiable asset to trade for a good return during the 2022 season, than DJ Moore (who was shipped out the following spring). Do you disagree? Let me know. I'd have traded Burns before McCaffrey, and I wouldn't have traded Moore at all. It's possible, despite what Morgan and Fitterer display, to turn down a bad offer. Thirty-one other teams are aware of this. That brings me to Johnson: if your "leverage" is "he wasn't gonna re-sign," you have no leverage; which, as you said, means you shouldn't make a trade, right? Do you disagree? If so, quickly adjust your prior stance. Giving up No. 1 in 6 and a standout WR, even if he's petulant, for No. 30-32 in 5 = demonstrably stupid. Keep the comp pick if he re-signs, or see if he can be convinced to stay with a new non-Shedeur QB.
