2016 NFL Draft Thread.

I honestly don't know who that is, but this was a weak year for me as far as study time. He better turn into a damn solid starting guard…..but man there seemed to be a lot of talent for the taking. My boy Dixon =(

I completely understand securing a great o-line for Carson…let's hope this kid is a find. I'll have to go to the tape before judging this too much

Kids played tackle before... not what we were expecting.

 

[Greenbird]

So much opportunity wasted

Isaac Seumalo, OG, Oregon State

I'm watching tape now

Daniel Jermiah said he's very versatile along that o-line as well. I'll watch some tape and read up on him more later tonight. Good o-lineman are critical, especially for protecting our new investment at QB…but let's hope this kid wasn't a major reach. Really wanted Dixon damnit

 

[Frizzle]

An interesting note is that his dad is the d line coach at AZ state. Kid might have a good football intelligence in reading the D.

I never heard of him before, but watching his highlights. I like him a lot. Physical, good hands, and moves well. I'm a fan. 5th round grade on him just seems like a mis-evaluation.

 

[Iron Eagle]

I'm kinda curious where this leaves Wisnewski. Are we basically redshirting the rook, this year?

Wiz will play guard unless kelcee has another horrible year. This is most likely peters last year as an Eagle, so either their gonna bulk Isaac up big time or their gonna have to find someone to play tackle

Still watching tape but what i have seen so far he looks like a Garnett clone....Dude is a road grader, blows huge holes open, and appears extremely powerful, and quick. plays low, gets under people and puts them on their ass....will report more in a few.

He seems very average in size - height, weight, etc. Why should he be the 2nd pick for us in the draft? As Iron eagle asked - why did we bother signing Wisniewski? He can play G/C, and do a good job. If this kid is so good, why was he rated a late round pick? And, we still need a good OT to groom for next year.

Questions that need answers.

6 man of the year this year. He'll start somewhere along the line in the future. The Oline depth was crap. Good move.

Well Wis is here on a 1 year deal. ...planning for the future isn't the worst idea.

I guess they didn't like the OT's available.

I'm never going to blame the front office for taking a lineman, but if this was a reach, I would have hoped we could have gone back a little bit to get some more ammo, given the trade for Wentz.

Here's hoping he's a huge surprise.

PFF had him graded as the second best pass blocking guard in the draft.

Isaac Seumalo vs Stanford (2015) | Draft Breakdown

I feel i can make a good breakdown of him now....he played just about every position on the o-line, was hurt at the end of 2013 Needed multiple surgeries to repair a broken foot, which is very worrisome for a 3rd rd pick.

However, watching tape, he looks 100% healthy, he looks explosive off the ball, gets under the oppositions pads, and turns them out of plays or he drives them back. He shows raw power, and superior quickness for an OG to get to the second level and block downfield. He plays till the whistle and keeps looking for people to hit. He looks like he is a better run blocker than pass, but his pass blocking is not poor at all, however he does need to hold his blocks longer.

 

[WIZ]

Howie and Pederson say he competes for LG job.

 

[Birds4life81]

First tape I watched on him he was at RG. I liked what I saw a lot. He's a quick twitch athlete for the position, very good feet, does a great job getting to the 2nd level. He's got some really nice functional strength and uses his arms well, stays in front of his blocks for the most part. I can see where his lack of ideal length leaves him hanging just when he attempts to lunge and attack in pass pro, here and there. Mostly he can sit back and let the defense attack, like most schemes -- he's got quick feet, strength, leverage and plays technical. Apparently he had an injury that needed a 2nd procedure and knocked him out of the 2014 season. If his medical checks out he could be a very nice and versatile o-lineman. I'm going to watch another tape right now
