Pete Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 McShay was raving about how good Marpet looked at the combine yesterday. I think he's going to go third round. Hope we take him. i would love Marpet in the 3rd but predict Ali gets drafted second round
RuntheDamnBall Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 As long as I can call him "Muppet," I'm in.
Uffalo Ills Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Needs to work a ton on speed and footwork. Also has subpar awareness. Seems confused a lot...
YoloinOhio Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 @nfldraftscout: I really like 4 guards in this class (Scherff, Cann, Jackson, Marpet) so far. Other than that...not much like yet.

YoloinOhio Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I really hope AJ Cann is there at 50. He is the perfect "bully" for Roman's scheme.Yep. Also seeing some negatives out there on Tomlinson from the film gurus. That he will need a lot of work at the next level.

YoloinOhio Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 @buffalobills: Hobart OL Ali Marpet made a name for himself at the Combine, but he has bigger plans ahead: http://t.co/9l5WTnjvPAhttp://t.co/FwgzIgtFzt
Rockinon Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Fifth round pick Eventual replacement for Wood at center Could play guard in the mean time. That's what Wood did.
TPS Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I'm warming up to him, but I just can't see the Bills taking him at 50, and he probably won't last until 81.
BackInDaDay Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 if Chip Kelly can't get Fisher, he'll go after Marpet.. he needs young, mobile guards (both around 300lb) to execute his O. i'm sure Seattle, and other teams committed to integrating ZBS would have both of these young men high on their boards... but he's too light for our immediate need.
DirtDart Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Regardless of the quality of coaching Richardson, Kujo and Henderson were not ready to play. That is not to say that they can't be developed into productive players. Henderson from a physical and athletic standpoint has the most potential. Even with his impressive physical attributes he was too inexperienced to play on a full time basis. Much too often he was overwhelmed. In my view he should have gradually been given playing time to allow him to accelerate his learning process. Playing him as a regular starter where he struggled hurt his development and the team.The best OL coach this team has had was D'lessandro (sic). His departure from Buffalo to San Diego was a major loss. My guess is the quality, and depth we had last year forced these guys in before they were ready. The other half as was previous stated was the OL coaching.
billsfan89 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 This simply cannot be true! I have read here over and over that rookie O-lineman cannot start and produce, whether they are 5th rounders or even 2nd rounders! I don't think anyone has ever said rookie OL never come in early and produce. A lot of times OL esp guards and centers come in and play very nicely right out the box. I think what most here have said is that rookie OL aren't always plug and play positions. That sometimes a lot of players in all positions take a year or two to develop. Each player is different and not everyone is ready right out of college to come in and play. Sometimes players have to work on their craft in game and overtime even if they have the physical tools.
PromoTheRobot Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Needs to work a ton on speed and footwork. Also has subpar awareness. Seems confused a lot...I'm just curious...where does your opinion come from?
Uffalo Ills Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I'm just curious...where does your opinion come from? From what I saw in the senior bowl and what is in that tape that the op presented.
YoloinOhio Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 MMQB did a feature on him Meet the Upstart from Hobart http://mmqb.si.com/2015/04/02/nfl-draft-ali-marpet-hobart/
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Seems like a great prospect, but a lot of risk with a guy like this-- D3 school, position change. We need to make risk-averse picks in rounds 2 and 3.
