There was no indication that was what you meant.......learn how to communicate better or you'll be looking like buzzed vacation @McBean creating conclusions from thin air .

 

And no, there was no doubt that Dawkins would start somewhere on the Bills offensive line as a rookie.   There was zero chance he'd redshirt even on a very veteran Bills OL that had lead the NFL in rushing and big plays the prior 2 seasons.

 

There would definitely be uncertainty whether Harrison could earn a starting role.   For sure.

 

The question with Dawkins was whether he was a tackle at all or if his lack of height and flabby body would limit him to being a potential high end guard.   Power he had in spades and he also had "adequate" LT length with longer arms and bigger hands despite his squat build.

 

Power and length/hand size are not strengths for Harrison entering the league.......hence him being a project and unlikely to translate to interior positions early in his career.   The two players aren't good comps.........whoever said that was lazy scouting........perhaps trying to talk themselves or others into the Bills fit.

 

If Harrison succeeds at LT it won't be done looking like the powerful Dawkins, IMO........... it will be more about footwork,  awareness and technique.    He enters the NFL as a finesse talent.

100% agree and that is why i like the dude so much.

The only thing that hurts him is he gets over aggressive. This is an guy that can play swing *McD and Beane loves swings.. and if he is as good as advertised? he could change the whole OL and start at LT pushing Dawkins to G or RT. Remember when Dawkins started his career in the NFL. he played one series at RT. Came off.. (was a crap with player he replaced)  Went to Guard for a few series then LT and never looked back. Dawkins can play many positions on this team.

But he won't.....

I don't know which OT is best or who will be available. I just know that Brown is a huge liability and we need to make some bold moves to upgrade our OL. These baby steps we've been taking aren't going to get it done.

I'm starting to take a liking to the " big Thanos" Dawand Jones. Dude is a MONSTER

I'm a fan of Harrison but I want to get meaner on the OL, Cody Mauch is special imo. 

 

I'll take Dawand Jones before him. Was just watching him vs Aiden Hutchinson as a rookie and he held his own.

There is speculation that Jones has put on even more weight since the combine.  He refused to weigh in or workout at Ohio State’s pro day.

 

Jones is gigantic with super long arms, but because he is so big, his change of direction and quickness isn’t ideal.  If he has put on more weight since the combine, that is a big concern.

I like Jones also, I just like the nastiness of Mauch more.

Watching him on YouTube, he's a MONSTER!! May have the same problem as the Jets tackle though. Can't control the weight problem

Anyone think that Jones would be a good fit?
