However, on this rare occasion, I disagree with him. To date, Neil has demonstrated poor twitch and lateral speed, which are areas that don't improve with time. I believe there's a real possibility he moves to Guard in an effort to minimize the aforementioned shortcomings. He will always be a liability against speed edge rushers.

Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 08:54:58 AMI remember hearing HOF GM Bill Polian talk about how they developed an injury grade where various injuries were given scores and all those injuries (during their career before being drafted) were added up to develop a score. Joe Schoen's rather detailed answer on this issue suggests Ronnie Barnes and his crew take a very different approach.
Q. Has Michael Penix Jr. acquitted all concerns or possible concerns about his injury history in your mind? Then kind of a follow-up to that would be are you more reticent sent now than maybe a year ago to take a chance on a guy who has an injury history, or is it the same as it ever was?
JOE SCHOEN: I think we always take that into account. We have to listen to our medical professionals. We've unfortunately had some issues with injuries the last couple years since I've been here. You want to stray away from injury risks the best you can. I am not going to get into specifics on Michael, it's well documented the injuries he had while he was at Indiana, but he has been healthy at Washington and played two full seasons there.
A lot of times those are indicators. Even if it's not — again, we'll go back to John Smith. He had an ACL his sophomore year, but it hasn't swelled up and he hasn't missed any games or had to aspirate it or anything like that. You usually lean on how the patient responds to those surgeries and how they perform.
We had our medical meeting Monday night. We didn't lose too many people. That's always a scary meeting for us because which one of these players that we love are going to be disqualified because of medical or they advise that we don't take them. We didn't lose a lot of players this year luckily.

Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 08:35:46 AMFrom what I have seen, teams find a way to keep their best players. If the player is mediocre, or maybe just a bit above average, they will let them walk. However, if they are happy with their first-round pick, they almost always sign them to a second contract (it's not like free agency is a bounty of great players).
What I would argue is that I don't think draft success and failure is all that dependent on the position drafted. Rather, I believe it's dependent on the team doing the drafting. Poor teams tend to draft and develop prospects poorly, while good teams do the opposite.
I also think that to really drill down to meaningful stats, you need to break this out by the top and bottom half of the first round. Take WR; top 10 drafted WRs tend to perform better than the rest of round-one receivers.
Quote from: Jclayton92 on April 23, 2024, 06:03:22 PMHe actually was coming along in year 2 even with the injuries. I think our oline coach was horrible for him. I think he'll balance out as a solid tackle. Just our line makes people look worse than they are and that's happened for years now.

Quote from: Jclayton92 on April 23, 2024, 05:09:38 PMI get that, but we will never be able to field a competent team if everyone doesn't give the people we do draft time to get. Neal has barely played a full season and he's a bust, Ezeudu has played multiple positions never really being able to develop in one spot. They need time.
