If NY liked this guy, I like this guy. Haha I think he has a lot of potential and I like that he's a talented pass blocker. We seem to have focused on talented run blockers with decent pass blocking in the past.

this guy and his versatility should really help solidify that side of the line. I also noticed that mckivitz was much better when he was next to a guard not named Burford. So I'm optimistic.

im really hoping the Michigan center we signed can become a good center for us. Brendel just isn't a great option.

I never have high hopes for guys who are projected highly and go undrafted in comparison to guys who went under the radar the whole draft process and sign on as a UDFA. Teams spend alot more time evaluating them and took him off their board for some collective reasoning

I get this take. I actually expect Nick Zakelj to push for that center spot before Nugent.

Well I don't expect nugent to do it this year. I meant more of get developed and take over, build up our pipeline of o line prospects - which I think has been crap.

then again, oline depth across the league has been sub par the last few years.

Sounds like feliciano will be retiring after this season…I'm guessing he's the starter at RG this yr
My favorite pick this year; I think Puni will be a mauler at guard. It will be interesting to see how his path to playing time works itself out, but the guy had great football DNA and has that aura about him, I can feel it in my plums!

I don't see him as an OT at all in the NFL, solid guard though and can get out and push a CB in run blocking. His OT pass reps are barely adequate for college speed and NFL rushers would blow past him on the edge. He needs some time

He'll be a guard, but he can play any position
I think he'll be a better tackle than McKivitz
His strength imo is how fast he gets off the snap. Even if he is outmatched by the elite DLs he's so fast off the snap he can neutralize whatever the DL is trying to do. If you so-mo those plays he's already moving when the other players are still set, including his own teammates. Kind of like Peters.
