    He seems to be getting some grief for not being a body builder/power lifter. The game has changed to a pass heavy game. He doesn't have to maul people. He has to keep people off of Herbert. Ali wasn't a one punch knockout fighter, but if you eat 10 or 20 jabs in the teeth you stop wanting to come forward.

                Great pick. I'm surprised he lasted to here. I'd written him off. I thought it was much more likely that we landed Horn or Darrisaw.

                      Brandon Staley to Rashawn Slater

                      First, Dad looks like he is ready to post up and hit the boards.

                      Second, I hereby tout Jay Tufele DT USC @#47 or @#77.
                      He has become undervalued for opting out. There were serious health risks in his close knit Samoan American family re COVID per Rob Rang. TT will cut Jay some slack per comments and per wardrobe.

                      Maybe Staley is gonna do it a little different than at LAR. Look to CHI for our defensive model, I think.

                        The single most important trait in a player at any position, but especially left tackle, is the length of his right arm. The second most important trait is the length of his left arm. After that, you can worry about stuff like vertical jump and the three-cone drill, eventually followed by whether he can pass block.

                        Slater can make a bunch of Pro Bowls based on his blocking ability, but he'll never have 34.5 inch arms, which is what really matters.

                        Wasted pick, IMO.

                          arm length didnt bother him vs Chase Young, watch the Voch Lombardi breadown to see how he overcome it
