Great Scott!! That's a fast 300 lb dude.

The point is well taken -- we've mentioned this before, but everyone's talking about Okung (5.18 40 time). BUT we play ZONE blocking schemes, where man-on-man size & strength is not as important.. As I understand it, there are more double teams and SPEED & communication is more important to get to your blocks..

So is Okung really a good fit to this offensive line anyway??

I'm always skeptical of pro day speeds on college campuses. I think it's Penn State that's notorious for having their players run the 40 on a sloped field.

Ulatoski ran something like a 5.5 at the combine

Yeah i never thought about that, they probably dropped him from a helicopter.

Strong pro day for Colt McCoy today 60 for 60 on his throws, showed good accuracy and mobility, and threw every pass from under center (none out of the shotgun)

Are we going to have put up with every poster who wants to prove how clever he is making an April Fools joke tomorrow? Just wondering if I should skip out.

LOL. I was just thinking about that. There will be a lot of "OMG We Just Traded...!!!" threads

Don't believe any of them unless I've approved it

I keep on getting the feeling that McCoy won't be around when we pick in the second round. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if the Browns either traded back into the first (deja vu anyone?) or used the layoff from day 1 to day 2 to trade with someone in front of us. Very interested though in finding how McCoy would hypothetically fit into a Shanahan system. It seems that he prefers strong armed QB's that can be groomed and in that respect I think Tebow fits the profile better. Then again I thought that Shanahan would never sign a lineman weighing more then 315.

At the same time McCoy has great intangibles, though they seem to be overshadowed by the fact that Tebow is in this draft. Any other year though he would easily be the highest rated QB in terms of intangibles.

I dunno. Kyle was able to make it work with Schaub, who didn't really have a rocket arm. Colt's mobility will help him though, especially if Mike wants some of his offense installed.

Schuab still has a strong arm. McCoy on the other hand seems average at best in terms of arm strength but then again thats just me. Like I've said before, I'm obviously not a scout.
