  1. I’m going pure memory but kromer worked wonders with massive day 3 pick Carl nicks in New Orleans. similar size. I cant claim to recall his 3 cone or arm length measurables coming out but huge guy with 1 year of premium competition. Saints were also a team with a big screen game. You don’t have to get 40 yards downfield to sell a block and disrupt a guy in pursuit. Especially if you have Davis, Knox and Kincaid in there for the second level.
  2. and kromer coached well with Roman. I think there’s some questions, but they did a lot of work on this one so I imagine it wasn’t a knee jerk surprise they hadn’t thoroughly considered until the guy slipped to them
  3. that’s quite the development, Einstein. Than you for sharing this news. We are lucky to have your smarts
  4. what exactly have you looked for with him? it’s easier to just say you don’t know him but didn’t like last years line. he was good last stint, and was great with the saints. See his development of Carl nicks and jahri evans as guard projects that became all pros.
  5. I think that’s the assumption
  6. he’s also been an elite coach for a loooong time
  7. he took several steps in any direction? That’s more than some here advertise him capable of Could be Cody ford, could be great. Glad we took a viable swing.
  8. Almost like i said “more of a” yea aren’t getting a wart free all pro that does everything well at 59 they got a guy that wins at point of attack but isn’t as mobile. For a position that needs less, but not zero, mobility. they are all coin flips at this point. Hopefully he mauls a few guys.
  9. At least interior where he can be more of a phone booth guy. I bet Josh will sneak to his side more often
  10. Or perhaps bench as a swing backup
  11. Quicker to type the patriots and chiefs went to the Super Bowl a lot
  12. and be great chipping ends off the line and while he won’t heads up move a DE back in the run game regularly they aren’t going to collapse him regularly either
  13. bingo- he may not be the super physical mauler but he’s certainly a more capable blocker than beas or lil dirty, and he can build that part of his game up while still contributing
  14. that’s way different than adding an aging all pro though. a day 2 or 3 rookie to replace Davis next year is a different dynamic
  15. I think it’s unlikely now but neither diggs nor Davis play 100% of snaps. 3 guys splitting 2 roles isn’t crazy when fully healthy yet alone once there are tweaked ankles or hamstrings. that said, given our crowded room I’m not sure it’s great value unless you are 100% all in on this year at all costs and sort the rest out later. Which I’m not opposed to.
  16. except, not the same skill set
  17. but I’ll keep stressing that Knox is paid like Zay Jones, not like a big time pass catcher. The number feels big but it’s tweener dollars for tweener play. Good not great in the passing game. Solid but not crushing blocker. and paid like an ok blocker or catcher
  18. knox is paid like a modest pass catcher - it’s not a game breaking deal.
  19. Again, think replacement for McKenzie not replacement for Knox
  20. it’s incredibly obvious that is how he will get his start, and grow from there that said, he will still be more physical than mckenzie or such
  21. though as mentioned early in the night, 4 was the price for 25 and 3 would get them to like 22 or such. It was a predictable price. Not a guy I would’ve guessed it for but with the right coordinator our talent is a real challenge on defenses. hines and Kincaid on the field with knox/Davis/diggs creates a good bit of pressure with 5 guys that have the whole route tree or a physical run set.
  22. cole beasley in a tight ends body sounds really annoying. But probably good at football.
  23. heck sub hynes instead of cook and you are 5WR or a physical run set in the same personnel -
  24. yup - short term he’s a large slot wr instead of a fast one. dude isn’t an in-line blocker this year, he’s a super physical WR3
