Not real confident in Mills, hard to say how well he run blocks since he was always in a 2pt stance. I think he's a backup for a year while he learns those techniques. Drafting means this is the end of seeing Carimi at OT. If they felt he could be our backup OG/OT then they would have gone elsewhere with this pick. Instead it looks as if he'll compete solely at OG.

Absolutely it is.

For a 6th rd pick he's good but he's got a lot to learn and I expect nothing from him this year. I see him on the practice squad.

So is Garza to be honest and as the leader we can't completely dismiss him. I would love to see a guy like Schwenke come in and win the job from him. Garza stays on the roster IMO because of his leadership and versatility and if he were to end up our backup OG/C that could only mean good news IMO in terms of the quality of our line play for 2013.

Give some of those hits on a couple read-option plays where the QB keeps the ball and they'll quit calling them.

He's fast and violent. I like that. Have to see if I can find a game film of him to see how he handles blocks and plays away from him.

Urlacher is a Hall of Fame LB but when you consider the drop off without him part of that is also the fact the LBs drafted, and we spend several mid-round picks on them under JA and Lovie, were horrible. We never had any depth and it was an achilles heel of our defense for the last few seasons.

...and the Cowboys picked Frederick at #31 and he was ranked mid-50s too.

If the list posted by Adam is accurate we didn't even have a private workout with Kyle Long. Keeping it all close to the vest again. Reid Fragel – OT – Ohio State Travis Frederick – OC – Wisconsin Edmond Kugbila – OG – Valdosta State Justin Pugh – OT/OG – Syracuse Brian Schwenke – OC – California -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I take that back. Listening to his conference call with the media he did visit with the Bears and said he felt pretty good about the Bears after he was done speaking with Kromer.

Long still gets overextended on some blocks in space. I think Kromer needs to work with him for at least a year inside to fix some of his mechanics. The athletic ability is there. I'd be very happy if we got Schwenke. That would round out virtually a complete overhaul of the Oline in one offseason.

Maybe you are on to something there because the Cowboys were rumored to be in the hunt for Oline help in Rd 1. I was surprised they took a C that early. Surprised all the way around at how early many of the Oline players went. http://www.walterfootball.com/draft2013rumorsteams_1.php April 14: Cowboys' writer Bryan Broaddus said that it's not likely that the Cowboys take D.J. Fluker at 18. He also said that a Chance Warmack-Eric Reid pairing is more likely than a Kenny Vaccaro-Larry Warford one. Broaddus also said the Cowboys like Kyle Long.

Bradley never was a starter in college. If Kyle Long can navigate up and down stairs he may just be a better athlete than Bradley.

Hand raised. He's better than Carimi ever was athletically. A couple things to note regarding him starting only 4 games at Oregon. He was not with their program in the spring so he had no spring camp to learn their offense. He basically started on their team in the fall practices, learned their offense, and by mid-season earned a starting role in a position he had very little experience playing. He is not as much of a project as might appear at first glance but he definitely has things to work on. I liked him in the 2nd Rd, 20 seems way early to me but he definitely has the athleticism to play OT in the NFL. I think he'll start simply because he doesn't have that much competition but he could be a backup for a year at OG while Kromer works with him and then slide out to RT or be our long term starter at OG. Lovie always got his projects on defense but the new coaches get their projects on offense.

Tell that to Lovie and JA...

I don't think we're done with Oline in this draft I still expect a C to be taken on Saturday. It's clear with Lovie out the door we are seeing a sea-change in our roster focus. We have now added 3 Oline this offseason, essentially let our best Oline from last season walk. There is going to be a lot of competition now and we could very well have 4 new starters on our Oline and if Scott beats out Webb we'd have 5. I think Garza could be beaten out by a rookie depending on who we get. If the competition is close for any Oline position, this staff is new they will want their future players on the field learning and improving. Same goes for Emery as he is now tied with Trestman and co.

I would like to think he's our RT of the future but for sure he's starting out at OG. Doesn't say much for what the staff thinks of Carimi IMO.

Kyle Long....early here. Kromer wants someone to mold into a Pro Bowl player.

Pugh goes that early? Wow

49ers had no concerns here. A little desperation to trade up for him iMO but they could afford it.

I'm on a Mac too and java won't work for me either

Dallas and Marinelli will take Floyd

Please not at 20. He can play in the middle but he can't cover in the NFL. The new breed of QBs will run right by him on the edge.

I think I will be

I actually watched 2 or 3 and, if it was on Youtube, I watched a game because that's when you see a lot more of what the player is doing when the play doesn't come toward them or when they get blocked out of the play. But yeah, I have a full time job and it's all I got time for. There are still things you can take away from these such as Klein in the East West Shrine game running downfield in coverage when the pass goes to the underneath route yet he still hustles back 20 yards toward the LOS and is in the frame when the tackle is made. I see the same traits in guys on our defense but does he hustle like that all the time, I have no clue. However, Greene and Klein had recognition within their conference for Defensive Player of the Year so as mid-round picks if you look for production and recognition for excellent performance they have it and actually so does Sio Moore.

I'd be happy with that draft. There are 3 solid future starters at the top and you add depth at the CB position. I can't see Matt Scott lasting until the 6th Rd but if he did and picked him I'd be happy with that. He only played one year at UofA (as a starter) but did some impressive things. He still needs development but I like his potential.
