I didn’t say it didn’t have a place for measurement of strength. It does. Just that it’s not that big of a deal… you aren’t laying on your back moving opposing defenders around the field. Leverage my friend is way more important for a 300lb+ guy than reps on a bench press. 

guys with short arms get more reps in

The depth at IOL is the best as it has been in years. Still would like a bit more at OT though, but it is what it is

Might as well grab Dawand Jones. Talk about beef on the right side.😱

 

Go big or go home.😁

he has only been here for 1 year again....and Brown had back issues and missed the entire offseason - Hard to pin that on him

he’s also been an elite coach for a loooong time

I'm happy with the selection. The value was too great to pass up. 

 

Just saying let's wait and see how he plays. He dropped for a reason and he appears slower and lumbering at times. 

 

I like his size and how he can maul players at the attack point. 

 

 

 

I'm told his draft profile says he's a plug and play starter with potential to be elite.  I'll take it.

I was prepared for him at 27 of the 1st round went awry

I get that and it's valid. I guess I'm just tired of the Kromer love. I haven't really seen anything special from him. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's not his fault. Just seems like he gets a lot of credit here without the goods sort of speak. Not saying he's a poor coach just not seeing glaring positive results either.

Bills S&C team will get him leaner and stronger.  He'll be a beast.

Mt guess is that Torrence and McGovern will start at guard.  Morris will remain at center.  Boettger and Edwards will compete to backup at guard while Bates backs up Morris.  The Bills will try to trade the loser of the Boettger/Edwards competition for a late round pick in 2024.  

I think that’s the assumption

Could you have imagined him there in the 3rd?😃

Saffold.

Very happy with this pick.

If he starts I think Bates is your swing OT in 2023 and possibly the starting C in 2024.

I hope so! Would love to see it!

[BCAS Baritone]

No sacks in 4 years and zero penalties in 2022 suggests that this guy doesn't make mental mistakes.  When you're this big, just being in the right place at the right time is worth a lot.

Who's this Morris guy?  Must be good.

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.

May have already been posted but just read he gave up 0 sacks in college and not even a pressure in 2022.
