Cordy Glenn is the real deal!!

[Dee Dub]

Mike Shanahan wasn’t kidding last night when he promised that we would see more one-on-one match-ups between DE Quentin Coples and G/T Cordy Glenn, the two best players on the South team. True to his word, the two ended up facing each other on the first four snaps of the 11-on-11 session, while they also went head-to-head on a number of occasions in the one-on-one pass blocking drills. And while each had their moments, the overall decision goes to Glenn who was probably the best player on the field today. Glenn, who lined up primarily at OG the first couple of days at practice, played almost exclusively at LT today and stoned just about every DE he faced including Mel Ingram and Courtney Upshaw on more than one snap. And Glenn put the coup de grace on his performance late in the 11-on-11 session when the offense ran a sweep around his side. Glenn pulled around the TE, raced down field - guys that big are only supposed to lumber in space - and delivered a crunching block on a poor overmatched safety.

Coples is considered the best DE in this draft and a possible top 5 pick. Upshaw and Ingram are picks anywhere from 10-20. Let me add this ass well....

Yesterday Heath Evans the former NFL FB who is at the Senior Bowl practice said on the NFL Network that Cordy Glenn has owned, Quinton Coples, Courtney Upshaw, and Melvin Ingram.

When I see Cordy Glenn I dont see a guard. I see as close as one can get to LT Orlando Pace.

Re: Cordy Glenn is the real deal!!

sadly, we wont have a shot at him without giving up valuable picks.

Re: Cordy Glenn is the real deal!!

I'd still rather trade up for DeCastro than trade up for Glenn.

Re: Cordy Glenn is the real deal!!

Sadly, I see him going to Ben's Gals at 17 at the latest, possibly a top 10 to 15 pick in all likely hood.

I see him going even higher than Decastro.

I am starting to think we should trade back into the early 2nd round instead of picking in the first.

Just not anybody I am in love with that will be available at pick 24 except maybe Dontari Poe.

I'd be ok with either one but I believe Glenn is the greater of the two. He can play LT DeCastro cant. That is a premium position.

More likely in mind we trade back than trade up. I just don't see us getting either one of these blue chippers.

Depending on how Poe does at the ccombine he may fall into the early 2nd round. I have read a lot that his late 1st round grade is purely based on his athletic potential

Re: Cordy Glenn is the real deal!!

I will have to wait and see after the Senior Bowl to be fair to him. Mayock said he is a G and RT but the jury is still out at LT. I think he has some growing to do in the weight room. I like his arm length & he has decent feet with some weight to convert. You get an OL with arms over 35" and you coach him up on hand placement & quick punch you can negate some of the lazy feet in the kick slide. Just see Max Starks. I would say if he isn't a LT year 1 he definately could grow into that position. That being said...I would only trade up for Decastro because he is polished elite G. Glenn has a higher ceiling "IF" he can play LT at the next level. If Glenn has to stay at G, DeCastro will be the better of the two. If Glenn turns out he can play LT at a high level, obviously his value is greater but that won't be determined until he hits the field on Sundays. The "IF" is the reason I would take him if he is their at #24 but not trade up for him.

Re: Cordy Glenn is the real deal!!

This is starting to remind me of Branden Albert. Steelers picked 23rd that year, thought they had a shot at Albert as an OG. Chiefs decided he was an OT, took him at 15, and we ended up with Mendenhall.

What more does one need to see? He dominated at LT in the SEC and at the Senior Bowl he has dominating the best pass rushers. Coples, Upshaw, and Ingram...those are the elite pass rushers who will be very high picks.

Keep in mind Mayock hasnt really sat down and seen much game film on most of these guys. That is per his own admission. I think he is just covering his behind. Mayock took on two new jobs this past football season...Notre Dame games and NFL Network games. He hasnt seen much college tape.

There are trains and then there is the late freights. I suggest ya'all get on this one before ya get passed by.

I'm not sure it matters how good Glenn is. With Hoke retiring, Hampton's surgery, and our cap situation probably keeping us out of play in free agency. Can we really not take a NT in round 1?

I think OL is a huge need. We all know we need to upgrade OL, but I think now the most immediate need is NT.

Ranking the Senior Bowl’s Top 10 prospects

by Wes Bunting

After three days of practice in Mobile Alabama, the NFP ranks the Senior Bowl’s top prospects for the upcoming NFL draft and breaks down which NFL teams are good fits for each.


1. DE Quinton Coples: North Carolina (6-6, 285)
Possesses the ideal build for a defensive lineman and the game really comes easy to him. He showcases the ability to overpower on contact, be sudden laterally and uses his length well to shed. If he can keep his motor running on high, looks like a top-five caliber talent.

NFL Fits…
Bears
Seahawks
Jaguars

2. OT Mike Adams: Ohio State (6-7, 320)
Looks the part of an NFL left tackle. He showcases good length, moves his feet well through contact and exhibits “plus’ range toward the edge for his size. At times gets himself into trouble “catching” defenders at the point, but has the skill set to mature into a good starting NFL left tackle.

NFL Fits…
Chiefs
Bills
Lions

3. DE Courtney Upshaw: Alabama (6-2, 265)
A physical, compact pass rusher who turns speed into power well off the edge and can overwhelm on contact. Plus, has the versatility to play in both a 34 and 43 front at the next level.

NFL Fits…
Bears
Cowboys
Chiefs

4. CB Janoris Jenkins: North Alabama (5-10, 182)
He was simply the most impressive cover man down here this week. Jenkins displays natural fluidity when asked to turn and run, stays low out of his breaks and is a bear to separate from on all levels of the field. Looks like an NFL starter early on in the NFL.

NFL Fits…
Lions
Bengals
Patriots

5. OG Cordy Glenn: Georgia (6-5, 34
Glenn had some struggles this week at OT. However, when lined-up inside at guard he was downright dominant. He showcased good natural quickness off the ball, was able to extend his arms and control blockers with ease through contact. Looks like a first round caliber guard prospect to me.

NFL Fits…
Steelers
Cowboys
Cardinals

6. DE Melvin Ingram: South Carolina (6-2, 276)
He’s an impressive pass rusher who can get after the QB in a number of ways. Plus, he’s versatile, as he can be effective from a number of spots and will likely get looks from both 34 and 43 teams.

NFL Fits…
Eagles
Chargers
Packers

7. CB Brandon Boykin: Georgia (5-10, 183)
Despite his lack of ideal height, he’s physical off the line, can turn and run, and did a better job as the week went on staying lower when trying to re-direct. He’s a competitor who loves to get into the face of opposing receivers and was a tough guy to separate from all week.

NFL Fits…
Ravens
Browns
Broncos

8. DT Brandon Thompson: Clemson (6-2, 310)
He demonstrated the first step to consistently gain leverage at the point working the bull rush, kept his pad level down and displayed the ability to shed through contact. He’s got a slight wiggle laterally as well, but is more of a one-gap guy only who can create penetration inside as either a 43 or 34 guy.

NFL Fits…
Packers
Broncos
Panthers

9. RB Doug Martin: Boise State (5-9, 215)
Martin isn't a dynamic size/speed guy, but there aren't many negatives to his game. He plays fast, runs low, is natural through the line of scrimmage and has a skill set somewhat similar to former Alabama RB Mark Ingram. He might fall a bit because he doesn't run overly well, but he has the skill set to start in the league.

NFL Fits…
Bengals
Jets
Buccaneers

10. QB Brandon Weeden: Oklahoma State (6-4, 21
His age will likely keep him from going as early in the draft as his talents deserve. But, there isn't a throw this guy can't make and he has the skill set and mental make-up to mature into a starter early in his NFL career. Looks like a solid second round type value to me.

NFL Fits…
Redskins
Dolphins
Browns

i dont really know if there is a NT worthy of our 1st pick right now.

I

I wanted Albert then, maybe Glenn does slide to us. This write up, makes him sound as a sure thing either at G, or T, in either case we need both positions.

this is basically perfect. It shows he can potentially be a great guard, but he struggled outside at T. We need a couple Gs more than we do Ts. Hopefully this week keeps him from moving up.
