Payne looks like a VERY low profile prospect. Years at Fresno St., then one year at the rebuilding Colorado.
I'd put his ceiling at 'hope he makes the PS'.

He is a phonebooth mauler. You could time his 3-cone with a sundial. IMO, he looks like another Lester Cotton who will compete only at RG, but I'd guess they want more mobile IOL for the wide zone at all three spots. He is about as far from the Brewer or Connor archetype as one could get.
I guess that’s probably why he went undrafted. We need some maulers. Hopefully they can develop himBest of luck to the young man but he does not fit the wide zone at all, but especially at center. He is an immobile phonebooth mauler it seems to me.

Sorry I was about to eat dinner earlier and gave that short answer my friend. Yeah, I’d be lying if I claimed I was an expert on either player. Before the draft, I anticipated us getting a safety so I read up on the draftable guys and looked at some highlights. I posted this early in the draft but my sense is that I was underwhelmed by the safety class. I saw a lot of flawed guys.I don't know either player tbh...but our scouts the last few years unearthed Needham, Kohou, and Bonner and word is they were pounding the table for McMorris.
There was video of him in his thread, looked adept in zone, and a thumper who likes to tackle.
Speed kills though...
Do phonebooth maulers serve a purpose blocking in the wide zone?I guess that’s probably why he went undrafted. We need some maulers. Hopefully they can develop him

i'm not feeling benito santiago as option one at Zero technique, or Tart at Zero at all.We didn't need it. In free agency we signed Jones, and Tart can back Jones up.
Well we’ve kind of ignored the oline throughout the McDaniel era. We’ve also lacked draft picks. Maybe they were dealing with what they had. But then why sign this “phone booth mauler” as you say?Do phonebooth maulers serve a purpose blocking in the wide zone?
I would not think so, but then why do we have Cotton and Hines on the roster at all?
Our first option at NT!
