Just to touch back on the OT discussion. Take PFF for what it is, but here's some numbers just for extra info on the prospects.

I think most of his overall snaps came in the shotgun, like 80% or something, and those runs probably came on read option plays. I don't recall any zone plays at all, but I wasn't exactly looking for it either. Keep in mind the offense was built for Flacco, so they didn't really touch the blocking scheme after the midseason switch. I think the notion that we'd switch to zbs is because of Roman's history with Kaepernick and Tyrod, but nothing official afaik

Yea that's right they did build their playbook around Flacco. It's nearly impossible to change things up during the season. Especially for two completely different types of QBs. I'd assume a few dozen plays or so for Jackson and that's what they had to work with coming down the stretch.

Do you think the Ravens go WR heavy early in the draft? I know they drafted a couple TEs last year so they probably wont focus on that position much, but Jackson is going to need receiving help and your WR group is looking pretty rough imo.

I mean they could go WR early, but unless they really hit on a stud WR, no one is going to make an immediate impact. The belief is that they want to trade down and recoup picks for not having a 2nd (given away in the Jackson trade last year). So assuming they do that, we're probably looking at only day 2 WRs anyway.

Our WR corps is pretty fucked regardless of who we draft. We have to hope someone emerges out of the trash heap we have at WR. It's going to be frustrating to watch when no one can beat single coverage. At least the TE corps is looking good, and the run game should be good.

Picking #22 opens up a lot of options really, hard to say who might still be on the board.

Maybe the 2nd LB if Devin Bush falls. Possibly the top WR, or top Safety. This CB class is all over the place (just like WR), so I wouldn't be surprised to see the top one go in the back half of the draft.

I think you guys also set yourself up nicely for a trade back/out of the 1st round, if somebody wanted to come up for a QB. Especially if a run happens and 3 of them go within the first 13 picks.

There's no shortage of holes to fill, so BPA definitely doesn't have to be compromised just to reach on a WR.

C, edge, ILB are all positions that could be addressed early in addition to WR. I would really like one of the C prospects, since there's some good ones in this draft, and Skura is bad (although they might move Bozeman to C, which is where he played at Bama)

Wonder how they got their numbers as there is no way cody ford inly had 90 true passing blocks im his career or even last year alone. Also PFF has had a hardon for risner the past two seasons I doubt they'll stop now. Just watch the entire game tape of him vs actual talented teams like Miss St where sweat and co abused him the entire game



Found a write up i had on reddit about risner with the vikings subforum because as you could expect OLine is all we talk about now lol

"Guess we will have to agree to disagree, but watching his game tape on both Miss St / texas / oklahoma (his only really NFL level game tape this past season) he got harassed a majority of the game. The Miss St game when they involved different looks at blitz packages he looks lost at picking up who his guy was and would lead to a sack. Sweat dominated him a majority of that game and I don't agree one bit that he has good hands as he loses most hand fights. He gets very good body positioning on blocks but that was the only big thing I saw. Against Texas who doesn't run complex blitz packages I was looking at his movement in the run game and he gets close to none. He was capable of holding a block but got no push at all a majority of the time unless he boxed them out of position which is why I said his body positioning is a plus. But he really hasn't shown me at least that he gets much movement on the pocket in a positive way. But I am just a Couch Scout"


Then posted the game film of the three games listed above where Risner was slopppppy as fuck.

Compared him to cody fords game tape against top talented teams (ex. Bama/texas twice/ TCU) where he was dominate



/e I really want to watch Dillard as I havent had a chance to get around to it but hopefully I can watch some of his games tomrrow or whatever downtime o have before the draft. I dint realy have much thoughts on him yet either, not saying much since he'll probably go top 10 but through it all so far sweat and devin white are my favorites players i've watched

Just finished watching WSU vs Oregon and wow Dillard balled out.... he shut down Jelks that entire game, oregon then tried stunting moving the DT over on a late rush and he would read it perfectly and outpower the DT stunt. Mirrored the speed rush perfectly, was able to quick shove and get to the second level. As you said it sucks you dont get to see many run plays would be nice to see if he gets movement or can out postion defenders. But just watching that game alone he seems amazing in pass protection

You guys would likely have the choice of the top C at 22, but its hard to say. Would you be upset if they took Metacalf, or some other WR at 22? There's a pretty big drop off at LB after White and Bush.



He dominated that entire game vs Oregon. Hes great at using his eyes, seeing the stunts etc. etc. I wish I could find the clip that was going around a couple weeks back on twitter. I forget what game it was, but it was a clip of him pulling from his LT spot and moving to his right. Effortlessly through traffic and showed great patience and vision to find the defender coming on the edge and laid a perfect block to let the RB get out free and untouched for a nice run. It was very impressive. Smooth hips and feet while pulling/moving. Obviously his kick step is great and effortless, as seen by his pass protection skills, but that clip of him pulling and diagnosing the play/best defender to block looked so natural. I don't think it should surprise anybody if he goes top 10.

Ya I've immediately become a fan. He reads blitz pickups extremely well as youvsaid his vision and power are insane, very quick off the get up doesnt seem to hold. Sadly I dont think he is a guard and the vikings would be dumb to move Reiff inside, plus the LT talent next year so far seems to be insane, but I wouldnt be upset if he somehow fell and we grabbed him. Thay said I agree he could be a top 10 pick to you guys or a team like the bengals / bills.
