OMG. LOL.
Dunker is a force, but he is an OG in the NFL, the Kelces were having too much fun talking about him. "pig" ....lol

The best guess is Dunker is only an ORG, who will go around round 3. But Olaivavega Ioane - no way could I pass him up at 24. His athleticism lets him play LG, even C, RG, RT....
The biggest concern I have with Dunker is his haircut. Just looks wrong..... If Loane is even gone by #24, I can see drafting a WR, then Dunker in round two.
But that would screw up my stupid mock draft....

He's gonna be a badass RT or RG or LG or LT. Reminds me a lot of former Iowa Hawkeye and Cleveland Brown LG Eric Steinbach (that played Tackle at Iowa like Dunker). Joe Thomas said Steinbach was an incredible veteran/calming influence playing right next to him as a rookie. Our former OL Coach & Long-time Iowa HC Kirk Ferentz knows how to recruit ideal OL he can develop into pro-ready starters.
I'll say it again, there are still successful LTs that don't have long arms per cut and paste below. How? Look no further than the 1st syllable of the sport - "FOOTball" Great feet and base can overcome this one variable. One's success begins with his stance. The width apart between the feet and maintaining it until the end of the play as well as how quick (and lateral in pass pro) the feet can move throughout a play. When they're too close together the Tackle is prone to over-extension which renders him useless in run-blocking. When kept shoulder width or slightly wider apart he sets up a great base for success. A word I see frequently from the journalists is "anchor" but an anchor stops a boat/ship from moving. That said, they use the term to simply mean strong leverage from the base below. All the guys pasted below have overcome the dreaded short arms sentence with work ethic, great feet/base and passion to the extent of earning/adding Pro Bowls to their resumes. (They were all pre-draft no-no's sentenced to a handicap by people under-estimating their desire, passion and work ethic)...

pre-combine.. my 2 mock favorite picks are getting Spencer Fano at #6.. Vega Loane at pick 24..so we agree on Loane..he's a beast (becomes huge target if Bitonio retires)
the twist is..
Fano---Zona picks at 3.. I'm not high on Miami's Maulgoa, but lots of mocks put him ahead of Fano in Zona.
Titans pick #4.. QB Ward was sacked the most of any QB last season.. Why would they pass on Fano or Maulgoa?
Loane---How do teams get a Penn St. OL monster pass Pittsburgh (hosting draft) sitting at #21 ? yeah, they need QB or WR.. but. It'd be like the Browns passing on Caleb Downs if they pass on Vega for a WR ...
it's a good thing.. teams get 2 months to set boards.. Night one should be just as crazy as the past drafts
Browns & Buffett: Got to go fishin, Down to rock bottom again, with just a few Friends -

it's crazy - but I was guessing that Mauigoa and Fano would be gone, to those two teams. That leaves Lomu for the Browns, hopefully.
As usual, it gets complicated and confusing. A lot mocks have Fano and Mauigoa rated higher, but here, Lomu is rated #1. But that was back in January.

I suppose the Browns could draft Caleb Downs at six, and go WR at 24, then OL with the next two picks, unless they sign a starter FA OL........ but that messes up my qb pick in round 3, LOL.
This is interesting - only 3 teams have two picks in the first round, the earliest first pick is the Cowboys at #12.
but I don't see that happening - the Cowboys don't have a pick in the 2rd or 3th rounds, so trading up with the Browns would give them the #6, and they wouldn't draft again until the 4th round.
I don't know, but it should be a hell of a lot of fun and/or shock to watch this draft.

Jets #2 & 16 (nah, to much) Dallas #12 & 20 (possible)... Rams #13 & #29 (possible)
dallas trade link won't open.. did the math on this before though..
at pick 6,
Might be KC/Or _______? wanting to jump Saints for RB J. Love...
Dallas would have to give up 12 & 20 to come up to #6 for Edge (who's left of top 3)pass rusher or Downs. We'd give Dallas back a 2nd(#39) -OR- 3rd (#70) in point value difference (change) for their 20th pick.. Dallas could/may counter offer, future next year picks to just jump to pick #6

During the CFP, Miami was very protective with their frequency to put a TE + an H-Back/Wing-Back 1 yard over and 1 yard back from the right hip of TE to the right of Mauigoa - especially when they wanted to throw. He's obviously a great run blocker that may settle in at OG at the next level with an OTackle always lining up next to his outside shoulder. All this said, I haven't seen enough of him to say he can't pass protect with space to his outside shoulder because he seemed to hold up well when there wasn't help to his right. He's consistently regarded as one of the best RTs in this draft.

I've thrown plenty of hay bales back in the day - the smaller, very dry ones I could throw about almost 4'. The bigger, not as dry ones, nope. 14' throw, straight up? wow.

I'd help my grandfather load up about 8 or so rectangular bales on the back of his old tractor and ride on the top ones as he drove us down to the bottomland. He'd make his very distinctive cattle cattle call and they'd come running up as he cut the wire on each one in turn and we'd scatter it all around the tractor. Guess that predated frisbees and they were squares instead of rounds. Had to be careful not to fall off while doing this or risk getting trampled by hungry cattle. I could fly 'em out fairly far when broken down like that, though more often than not they'd just fall apart as I tried to fling 'em. Cattle didn't mind. LOL!

I was being careful, tossing hay bales into our hay loft off the big truck, way, way back decades ago, when several hay bales flipped out underneath me, and I fell sideways into the front of the horse stall, and flipped bounced into the stall into horse crap. Not one of my better moves. My ribs weren't broken, so I went back up and kept throwing. Couldn't do much of anything the next day.
Thanks for the memory, dammit. lol
