RT and OL thread

[KI Skins Fan]

On the podcast, Ross Tucker and Greg Cosell discussed the following players:

Tackles:

Tucker said that Jake Mattews is the best OL player in the draft. Plays like he's been in the NFL for five seasons.

Tucker also said that Greg Robinson is the best OL prospect meaning that he has an even higher ceiling than Matthews because of his size and athletic ability. But Robinson did not play in a pro-style offense in college and will need some time to develop.

Tucker called Zach Martin "the poor man's Jake Matthews" because of his knowledge of how to play OT. Per Tucker, it's as if Martin has played three years in the NFL.

Tucker was not high on Taylor Lewan because he thinks that Lewan isn't smooth laterally and that he has poor technique.

Tucker thinks Cyrus Kouanjo is mean and he likes that but he doesn't think that Cyrus moves well. Per Tucker, Cyrus will need to play RT in the NFL.

Cosell seemed to agree with Tucker on the above players.

Cosell likes Moses of UVA and he also likes Lucas of K-State. Cosell thinks that Lucas will be a RT and sees him as a good pass protector.

Guards:

Tucker likes Xavier S'ua Filo and David Yankey at OG. He called S'ua Filo "a rare athlete". Tucker thinks that S'ua Filo and Yankey are mirror images of one another in that SF is more athletic than Yankey and Yankey is more powerful than SF, yet both are athletic and powerful. SF also played LT at UCLA.

Tucker does not like Cyril Richardson at all. Cosell was silent about Richardson.

Tucker thinks tht Chris Watt of ND is a good player but that he will probably be a career backup in the NFL. Cosell disagreed with Tucker about Watt who Cosell thinks can be an NFL starter.

That's all they talked about.
