Player Upsides & Potentials
« on: September 25, 2012, 09:38:38 AM »
HFBIQ types: I have a keen eye on skill players and their potentials, but I have no idea how good a lineman or linebacker can be. Does anyone here have a good eye at recognizing player potentials for the bigger guys? Feel free to discuss them itt.

Travis Britz - I know he looked dominate for a few possessions at OU, but he didn't look good first game of year
Trujillo- does he block well?
Lucas- what's his ceiling and comparables? he's a monster, but is he good?
Whitehair- are we talking Nick Leckey good?
Mike Moore- why can't he replace Jarell Childs?
Truman- is he Houlikish or can he be better?

By good monster, do you mean like Grover or like Michael Wazowski?

I love, love, love Lucas.  With his size and ability, this kid is going in the first two rounds.

No way he makes it out of the second round of the draft.

Best left tackle we've had since, I don't know, Clary?

The couple of times I have talked to Finney I was impressed by his size.  The thing is though he still has room on his frame to grow and not loose any mobility.  Maybe Tre could toss him a biscuit once in awhile.
