Guards - Ranking Post Combine

[LargoFin]

First, guards should be between 305 and 325 lbs. Not too light, not too heavy. We will consider tackles in this group as well.

That eliminates:

Trevon Tate 293
Zach Bailey 299
Andre James 299
Sua Opeta 301
Jonah Williams 302
Eric McCoy 303
Mitch Hyatt 303
Fred Johnson, 326
Ethan Greenidge 327
Max Sharping 327
Cody Ford 329
Donnell Green 335
Nate Herbig 335
Devon Johnson 338



Next, Guards who are 305-315 must have arm length between 32.5 and 33.375
Guards who are 315-325 can have arms up to 34
That eliminates

Isaiah Prince, 305, 35.5 arms
Lamont Gaillard, 305, 33.5 arms
Tyler Jones, 306, 33.75 arms
Garrett Bradbury, 306, 31.25 arms

Derwin Gray, 320, 34.375 arms
Oli Udoh, 323, 35.375 arms




From the remaining group, with arms 33.375 to 34, we will separate true G's from T's.

We will call the remaining guards with hands 33.375-34 DRAFTABLE

Phil Haynes


The Tackles we will call UDFA tryouts.

Andre Dillard, 315, 33.5 arms
Paul Adams, 317, 33.5 arms
Tytus Howard, 322, 34 arms



From the remaining group, we will separate T's from G's.

The G with arms 32.5-33.375 we will call DRAFTABLE

Dru Samia, 305, 33 arms
Beau Benzshawel, 309, 33.375 arms
Alex Bars, 312, 32.75 arms
Nate Davis, 316, 33.125 arms
Javon Patterson, 307, 32.5 arms


The tackles, we will call Late Rounds or UDFA

David Edwards, 307, 33.375
Michael Dieter 309, 33.125
Kaleb McGary, 317, 32.9
Dennis Daley, 317, 33.375



From that group of 9, we will eliminate Javon Patterson because he has borderline weight, and arms, both.
We will also eliminate Beau Benzshawel and Alex Bars because they did not test.

Now we can watch film.

 

[LargoFin]

Nate Davis, Charlotte, RT #64




Looks good, powerful, balanced, pushes people, good athleticism. Looks good. Draftable. The way a G should look.

 

[LargoFin]

Phil Haynes, Wake Forest, #74 LG






Looks good. A little clunky but we know what we are getting, he is a little long in arms, but powerful, balanced, mean, can move. Draftable.

 

[LargoFin]

Dru Samia, OU, #75 RG




The 305 weight shows up, it's borderline. But he is a good guard, athletic, plays with good balance. Should get a little bigger and stronger, get a little more frame going. Still draftable.

 

[The Ghost]

I’ll take them all.

 

[Rowdy1972]

This **** is gold. Jonah Williams doesn't meet your arbitrary weight requirements,.......get his ass off the draft board. McCoy same thing. Cody ford. What a fat ass. He's gone.

I'm not sure at this point if you are taking yourself this serious but lord I hope so because it's entertainment.

 

[LargoFin]

That's right. The only guards worth drafting are Nate Davis, Phil Haynes, and Drew Samia. Others are not worth a pick.
Others can come to camp and try out if they want to play guard.

I would spend a pick on Cody Ford, Yosua NIjman, Derwin Gray, for a tackle. I would not spend a pick on Jonah Williams for any position. No thank you. Not worth it.
