Antonio Richardson breakdown?

[FattyFatFat]

I know we have at least one Vols fan in the huddle. Is there someone that can give a good breakdown on Antonio Richardson that has followed his career?

Fantastic size (6'6 330 something) very long arms (35 inches) and strong as an ox (36 reps at the combine). A few scouting reports mention him getting bull rushed by clowney this year (but, hell, clowney is a monster) but also says he is quite efficient at run and pass blocking. UT had five 200 yard rushers this year which is inspiring.

I'm all aboard on BPA whether it's WR, CB, OL. So for all those who know more more than the cliffs notes version of what I've found, I'd love to know if Richardson is worth the 28th pick.

Richardson wasn't getting bulled around by clowney, he had a hard time getting his hands on him at times, clowney was too quick

[WOW!!]

I hate his legs and his movements. He reminds me to much like Otah. His upper body looks too big for his long legs. I can see a lot of leg problems for him in the future. Do not want to risk a high pick on him.

I was wondering about that same scouting report, and this makes more sense. I didn't see the game but given their sizes, I have a hard time imagining Clowney bull rushing Richardson.

I see Richardson and James both as RTs. idk about the 1st for Richardson.

Some scouts don't even think that he is worth any pick, much less a first rounder according to what I've gleaned from Mayock and Eisen during the weekend.

James might be able to play some left tackle as well according to some reports.

In my opinion, Richardson is probably the only legitimate option at 28 to get a day 1 starter at LT for the Panthers. I would prefer to let him start on the right side his first year and sign a free agent left tackle.

Lewan, Robinson and Mathews will be gone by 28. If any of those three are still there we need to fly up to the podium.

Honestly if Richardson is gone along with the other tackle options I would prefer us going BPA. Use our pick to get a game changing receiver before the non playoff team in the second round gobble up the play makers.

I've also seen reports of him being strictly a RT. maybe he could start at RT, work on his tech and switch. but he sure looks like a road grader to me...

You guys need to see this. Richardson has knee issues.

I ain't gonna lie. I like the dude a lot...even if he is a Vol (LOL).

Yeah, i seen that when they reported on Cyrus Ks knee problem. he could take a hard fall down the draft as well.

That's why I believe that we will use the first pick on something else other than offensive tackle.  I'm thinking that G-man will address that in FA.

 

Someone will still probably snap up Richardson in the second (depending), but I would rather have James in the third, but he may not last that long.
