Yep...look at A-Rod before and after the roids:

I see Jason Giambi, who was also caught juicing.

At the time he talked about how often and how many calories he had to eat to keep his weight up. Nick was 6-4 and a top wrestler before he decided to play football his last two years at Purdue after Brees won the Rose Bowl.
200lbs is pretty light for a 6-4 large frame man. Nick says he's kept it off, does yoga and watches his diet and is now 6-5. I'd guess @ 225. He doesn't look like a tall skinny guy.

225 is prob closer to correct. Same observation - Thats a huge change from his playing days.

Neither of those guys are A-Rod lol

The buzz is picking up for the idea of Spencer Fano being an ideal zone center.

Center hmmm hadnt heard that though I know he took center reps at combine. I think he is an ideal zone guard though and could be there at 22 with many NFL teams seeing him as guard over tackle.

I am good with Fano or Ioane at 22....or Sadiq, Banks, Parker...That's my top 5

Numerous teams worked Fano out at C at the combine. He’s considered to be able to play numerous positions on the O line. Hoping he or Banks make it to 22.

I don't think Loane will be there.

Combine is combine so grain of salt - but Fano really jumped out to me as the most fluid, agile, athletic big strong guy in the club that day. I didn’t have a close second to him. (Confession I did not see all of them)

I am counting on wu to secure him with our 22 card. Tall order perhaps, but its wu.

Does Fano's 32 inch arm length concern you?

It was why I asked the question. The idea evolved out of him taking snaps at center in Indy, his movement skills, and doubts in some quarters as to Fano at offensive tackle would work due to arm length.

We'll see how it goes with him and Zuhn II, Parker II, in the various rounds.

The other rumor that is gaining traction is that Oweh and Mack will both leave, and the Chargers will draft EDGE. IOL would be solvrd with UFAs, starting maybe with Biadasz.

I am sure you are hearing some of this. Please separate fact from fiction for us.

Not in the slightest. Except for the arm length, Fano looks like he was designed in a lab to be the perfect outside zone G/T.

I'm seeing Fano as a top 10 ,...top 15....but who know. Maybe he falls for whatever reason.
However, he has played exactly 0 snaps at OC. All his college snaps are at LT and majority at RT

Id have to think a OT who is rated too 10-15,....a team that need a OT will take him to play OT..
