CapeBreton Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 I actually thought Tenuta looked look in the combine drills but his testing numbers were terrible, good competition for Tommy Doyle I guess. Quote
dollars 2 donuts Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 On 4/30/2022 at 9:00 PM, Hapless Bills Fan said: Lance Zierlein take on NFL. com Draft Projection: Priority free agent Overview Tall tackle with predictable leverage issues, creating difficulties in both run and pass phases. Tenuta is a segmented mover who lacks desired play strength. His issues are made worse by erratic hand placement, but coaching could improve his hands, which would alleviate some of his strength concerns. He won't shine as a drive blocker or move blocker. And his pass-protection issues are more physical in nature, making them harder to correct. He's a potential undrafted free agent and could struggle to compete at the pro level. Strengths Started at both tackle positions. Father is a longtime coach. Pretty fair athlete getting into space on pulls. Uses size to wall off linebackers on climbs. Inside hands will make him stronger in pass protection. Protection looked better by the end of last season. Hustles out to meet edge speed with pass sets. Weaknesses Disappointing length for his size. Height creates natural trouble with leverage. Lacks explosive lift into contact. Below-average lateral movement. Upper-body strength and core power are a concern. Below-average punch and control in pass sets. Pass slides are heavy and segmented. Below-average anchor. Expand Holy mackerel. But besides that how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln? 1 1 Quote
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 6'8", is he our shortest tackle?? Quote
MAJBobby Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Now his RAS is a bit better being run as a OG. Goes up to a 5.86 Quote

Quick out of his stance with the footwork to be effective in front of screens. Willing to get out in front of ballcarriers to take out defensive backs and linebackers. Best on the outside because of his height and athleticism, but is capable of blocking on the move. Adequate foot quickness to remain outside. Can get to the second level with surprising agility when adjusting to moving defenders. Underrated athleticism, agility, balance, and even straight-line speed to contribute. Has the agility, technique, and size to contribute early in his professional career. Quick, active hands to latch on to defenders. Weaknesses High-cut and doesn't bend knees well. Set in pass protection is high, and that affects the power and ability to anchor and causes him to bend at the waist. Height can be a detriment in short-yardage, defender can get under his pads to hold the line. Has inconsistent footwork and body positioning and needs to improve his blocking angles. Loses leverage battles and plays with high pad level. Can be late off the snap. Flashes the ability to move his man with his hands, but is not yet consistent in this area. https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Luke-Tenuta-OL-VirginiaTech he is an OT/OG prospect. Still need that interior OG/C IMO Expand We got the depth now on the Oline! Only injuries can prevent the Bills from winning it all. Clearly, have the best roster in the league with very little holes. Stay healthy and things look fantastic. Can't wait for the season. On 4/30/2022 at 9:21 PM, Rocket94 said: Gert him coached up!

hemma Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 I think Doyle just exhaled a sigh of relief. PS bound …. Maybe. Quote

Agent 91 Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) They already screwed the pooch on another OL from VT. From what I read he has short arms and a slow mover with less than ideal upper and core strength. Weaknesses Disappointing length for his size. Height creates natural trouble with leverage. Lacks explosive lift into contact. Below-average lateral movement. Upper-body strength and core power are a concern. Below-average punch and control in pass sets. Pass slides are heavy and segmented. Below-average anchor. -NFL Network Edited April 30, 2022 by Agent 91 Quote

Special K Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Could end up on the Practice Squad, then get poached by some other team like their 6th and 7th rounder last year. Quote

Filled some needs, got some speed, and both sides of the ball should be improved. I give the Bills a solid B. Nothing spectacular in this draft for the Bills. Think he missed on Bernard but Beane knows more than me. Edited April 30, 2022 by newcam2012 1 Quote
