Official Prospect Of The Day

[cheerupcharlie]

163 pounds is light!
He pumped up before the last game at the Shriners Bowl. - he was 155!

Between him and Thornton we’d have about 300 lbs of WR.

Yes it is, not sure it makes a huge difference. The man played HS Ball, College Football, and the NFL does not shy away from prototypical builds the way the use to.

 

[Yankee Traveler]

A very provocative pick - certainly worth considering.
Count me in as someone very nervous about a 5'8" WR in today's NFL.
The DB's however, are getting bigger and bigger - not slower but certainly not quick!

Psst...Marcus Jones would like a word with you...

I was tough as an oak and fearless when I was 155.

We struck gold with that pick. Another cougar drafted in the same round….

At 162 I could throw King Kong over a fence - but I could not play basketball…..

I just googled Dion Lewis for shits and giggles to compare weight since they're both 5'8" and Dion, who is very small by NFL standards, is 195lbs.

No doubt this dude could bulk up a bit but that might slow him down? Still, he seems lightning fast so if he's not injury prone I'd give him a shot in the slot.

Let’s hope Trent doesn’t step on him in practice and squash him like a bug!

If I'm going small slot receiver in this draft, I'm taking:
11.

Josh Downs*, WR, North Carolina
Height: 5-10. Weight: 180.
Projected 40 Time: 4.45.
Projected Round (2023): 2-4.

Well, yeah. Downs is 1st-2nd round. Dell is 3rd-4th. You gonna take downs over an OT??? Not me.

So was I at 5'10 125, I had the entire cross country team in fear.

Joe Tippman

6’6” 317 lbs

Center

Wisconsin Badgers

Round Projection 3

​

As a Freshman he played in one game for 11 snaps, as a sophomore 2021 he played in 12 games 687 snaps he gave up 2QB hurries, 2 QB hits, and zero sacks. His junior year 12 games 758 snaps 2 QB hurries, 2 QB hits and one sack.

Strengths: Huge man and an absolute mauler, constantly finish blocks, reacts well to twists and stunts, posses the strength to combat bigger defensemen. 635 squat and a 455 pound bench again a very powerful man also athletic for his size he clocked a 4.31 pro agilty time, 1.65 yard split faster than any O linemen at the combine this year. Decent feet great hand strength a high motor effort guy. Plays really well in space and an outstanding pull blocker, Moved fluidly in pass protection wide bas great core strength.

Weaknesses: At 6”6” may be to tall for the position shorter defenders can get under his hands and win the leverage battle. Does not play with ideal balance, needs to watch his discipline had 6 penalties in 2022 (Coachable?), plays high footwork is currently average but coachable. At 317 he is lean could add more mass.



Because of his great athleticism and strength his is an excellent pro prospect , high football IQ, may be converted to G or OT which would only make him more versatile a player, something BB covets.

I'm a fan of the maulers. If he's as good as advertised I'd use a 3rd on him.

The write up I read indicated he is just that, for some reason I get a Login Mankins from him. At 6'6" I can't see him as a Center in the NFL

But I like the versatility. ALWAYS good to have a backup plan....and a plan c...sometimes the shit (injuries) hits the fan repeatedly.

Tippman is a solid pick at center!

Aside from rookie traits that can be coached, the biggest complaint the "experts" have against him is that he is "too tall"
Too tall? Many of the best centers are guys that can't make it a OT.
I'd say any team that needs a center NOW, should take this guy in the 2nd.....

Looks like we'll have 20 3rd round draft picks!

 

[cheerupcharlie]

I too love the term “mauler” for any O-line position. 6’6” is awfully tall for a center. But if he excelled in college at that position I’m sure he could do the same in the Pros. Him and Strange would be a very athletic duo.
