Welcome Brenden Jaimes, OG/OT Nebraska (Pick #159)

[Bolt Dude]

It’ll be interesting to see what happens if Bulaga gets hurt. Will it be Pipkins or Jaimes or Feiler?

If it happens this year, I’d guess Feiler takes over and Jaimes goes to LG.

Pipkins is more or less a wildcard. It’s a make or break year for him in terms of development.

I would venture it will be Pipkins until he proves he can’t do it. Why change multiple spots along the line if he can play. Year 3 is a big year in Pips development.

I imagine you’re right. The staff is probably eager to gage his development ASAP.

It makes sense. If he’s our future answer to ORT then it lessens the need to spend high end draft capital on another OT next year.

And the ‘22 draft is stacked with OL and DB. I’d much rather use our 1st on CHJr’s replacement.

We shouldn’t be in line to draft either but I already have draft big crushes on Derek Stingley Jr (LSU) and Kyle Hamilton (ND).

Boye Mafe and Trent McDuffie are mine.

Bump.

Jaimes is looking like our best IOL prospect since Hardwick and Dielman.

His interior pass pro has been very good in terms of body position, hand fighting, and picking up stunts/switches. He still could use a bit better anchor but that will come with more strength.

Run blocking on the interior has been hit or miss (literally). I think he's still working out the details of run blocking teamwork on the inside, but you can also tell he's processing, it's just the details need work. Working next to Qberry and Norton hasn't helped evaluate who is screwing up the comvo when it happens.

He's also showing good initial burst to get to the 2nd level, he drew the defensive holding vs 49ers when the DT grabbed his collar when he fired off the line.

Lots of snaps as a Cornhusker.

Did we actually get two solid, long term starters in this draft ?

Like we thought we did with Lamp/Feeney ?

:uplol:

Good initial analysis.
Footwork solid, punch location solid, good grip strength, excellent body positioning and hip torque.
Needs improvement in consistent leverage wins, core strength profile, and SIP/anchor.

[Formula 21]

Jaimes looks like he'll start sometime this year. Definitely our best reserve OL.

The good news is that he seems to understand leverage, so the added strength will be used correctly. Understanding and applying leverage at the tackle vs. guard position isn’t completely identical, so seeing Jaimes grasp it so soon is a great sign.
