It worked with Harrison and Woodley. If Woodley had produced last year, it would have worked very well. Why wouldn't it work with Worilds, Woodley, and Jones? It would work especially well because...

Why, Jones will have a very reasonable contract at pick 17. If that scenario happens, I say you try to hang on to Worilds, Jones, and Woodley for a few seasons.

A good metric based look at the 2014 draft: http://www.thesidelineview.com/columns/nfl/metrics-study-2014-draft-prospects

Yep, he's being completely written off. Mostly, this is because a lot of fans were never on board with him to begin with. No matter that he's shown more in three years than Harrison did his first...

Keeping my fingers crossed on this guy.

IMO, they are very similar prospects. Physically Elam has one inch on the Shark. The Shark has about 10 lbs on Elam. I like them both. Glad we got the Shark for essentially a 3rd rd pick.
...

Ravens fans are vastly under stating Birk's value to that o-line. Now their down to Gino Gradkowski and A.Q. Shipley.

Mclendon is going to tear both of these guys a new one. They are the type of...

Yep and the Shark has about 10 lbs on Troy to boot.

Pretty sure Guy Whimper received no guaranteed money. I'm also pretty sure he's just a body to be used for OTAs and Training Camp. He will be cut before the season starts if someone else shows they...

Right, there is no difference in any blocking schemes. Got it.

Anyone who wants to argue that Max can get out in space is missing it. Anyone might be able to get the concept, but that doesn't...

Maybe the guy doesn't want to be a back-up. It takes two to tango.

Again, listen to what your saying. I don't believe he has performed reasonably well compared to the rest of the NFL. He has played reasonably well only in comparison to the crap thrown out there with...

No one else in the league apparently thinks so either.

Its hilarious how used crappy play we've become on this o-line, when Max Starks is getting so much praise. He ranks about 15th out of 32 starters in the league.

While your LT isn't going to be the...

This isn't true pfelix. Up until this year we've been a man scheme with some zone concepts. This year they hired an OL coach that uses more zone blocking concepts.

Bicknell and Haley prefer and...

Starks ability to run block is nothing like Flukers'. That man could maul a bear.

Everyone also assumes that Max will come back to be a back-up. Perhaps for him it is start somewhere or play nowhere.

Just tired of celebrated mediocrity on the line. This is probably once again...

Its bad that we've gotten to this point with our o-line. We've become so used to crap that we celebrate the barely mediocre.

Gilbert had a pretty good rookie year. Their betting on him getting...

He might have been durable, but that doesn't make him the best lineman. Are we going to start lineman just on durability alone now?

He was just one part of the problem on offense.

Pretty dang simple. Max is a fat load who can't move. He is the epitome of the planet theory of blocking. He is effective in pass sets because he is so freaking huge. He's a planet.

But he can't...

Why are we obsessed with a very mediocre Tackle? Lets just state it plainly. HE CAN'T MOVE IN SPACE.

The OC and the new OL coach must have athletic lineman that can move in space. Is it really a...

I wish someone would error check these Pittsburgh reporters. Allen was a 4th round pick out of the Citadel. Curtis Brown was the 3rd round pick that year at corner.

It does give me hope that...

I'm not concerned with Jones' size. He's about the same size as Joey Porter. Porter played the position extremely well.

Jones also has very violent hands.

Once again its Kaboly, so take it how you want.

Dang guys, I'm sold on every pick from 2-7, and I'm coming around on pick 17. But Dub, your laying on the hyperbole pretty thick. I hope it goes better for you this time than Barkley's pro day...
