Cyrus Kouandjio revisted

Just my 2 cents but given that he's a projected starting LT if all is well and healthy, he should be gone by our pick.  If 25+ teams pass on him, I'd be very wary.

Horrible logic. There can't just be 25 other teams that take better players or need a different position? He isn't the best OT prospect in the draft but he is certainly worth a late first round pick.

I'm thinking from an purely odds standpoint given it's a starting LT.  Plus, more than a handful of teams could use a new tackle right now.

no matter who we get at 28, it is going to be a player that 25+ teams passed on

This. Very much failed logic lol

Of course but it's a difference when it's an LT or QB versus an RG or TE.  LT is a coveted starter to obtain early in the draft.  Been like that for a while.

No, teams are trying to get value. If a tackle doesn't warrant a 15 pick but he does a 25 pick. Teams won't reach for the value.

How many teams pass on Rodgers or x player? Bad logic no matter how you slice it. 

 

Team's big board is heavily influenced by needs. If you spent a high draft pick on a LT last year or just signed a good FA you will not be looking to draft a LT early. 

 

So many factors at play. Not to mention people being busts and people being hidden gems.

The basis of my point is that Moses and Kouaj warrant top-25 consideration and will get it.

It really is a crap shoot.  I'm just thinking this Cyrus kid may not be the pick even if he's available.  You never know how things go.

I'd be good with him at 28

Last week I mentioned Morgan Moses as a possibility for the Panthers in round one. I’ve been alerted the team is also very high on Nevada offensive lineman Joel Bitonio, whom they’ve traveled to visit on two separate occasions. Would they take Bitonio in round one? The senior has been gaining momentum in scouting circles as teams feel he can start at both tackle or guard positions from the early stages of his NFL career and there’s a good possibility he’s off the board early in round two at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are also enamored with his skills.

Contrary to recent published reports I’ve been informed Cyrus Kouandjio is not a first round target for Miami Dolphins general manager Dennis Hickey. In fact I was told the team won’t consider him in the first frame due to medical red-flags. It seems Zack Martin is the object of their desire but the team does not expect the Notre Dame product to be available when they are called to the clock in round one. Who then? Sources seem to think Hickey will attempt to trade down if the opportunity arises. If they are able to trade down Joel Bitonio, a name that keeps popping up in the late first/early second round area, is a player they like. The Dolphins did hold a private workout with Bitonio.
