<![CDATA[Greg Robinson]]>If Clowney is off the board and we dont go QB, this is our guy. Dude is tearing up the combine right now. 4.82 40 yd dash at 332 lb. The Texans are taking him or Clowney.

Yes I would think for OL shuttles and bench press would be of the most interest. I may be in the minority but I can see us taking this guy at 4 and putting him at tackle and sliding Schwartz to guard.

bench press is the most useless drill any position does.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/388446https://brownsboard.com/post/388446Sun, 23 Feb 2014 23:23:22 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Greg Robinson on Sun, 23 Feb 2014 23:22:49 GMT]]>

It's absolutely true.

There is not a single comparable game situation for an offensive lineman to run 40 yards unhindered. If a lineman is running 40 yards in a straight line without touching anyone, he isn't doing his job.

Overall speed is never a bad thing, but the 40 yard dash doesn't measure what you need it to as far as OL speed. These are 330 LB guys. They take a full head of steam to get going. They won't get that in a game.

Come frills, shuttle runs, those are what matters.

Like I stated above, the important number in an OLinemans 40 is the ten yard split. But overall speed is also a minor plus as it gives a glimpse into a players overall athleticism, coordination and flexibility.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/388445https://brownsboard.com/post/388445Sun, 23 Feb 2014 23:22:49 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Greg Robinson on Sun, 23 Feb 2014 22:42:30 GMT]]>Yes I would think for OL shuttles and bench press would be of the most interest.

@mike-h said:

That's not my point. My point is Lane Johnson was already ranked highly by GMs and their scouts.

The media draft enterprise bumped him after the combine, and not just for his 40 time. Mayock, Rang, Miller, etc., are good, but their assessments, especially pre-combine aren't actually reality...

and Lewan isnt? I never saw any rankings with Johnson top 15 pre-combine.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/388182https://brownsboard.com/post/388182Sat, 22 Feb 2014 20:52:23 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Greg Robinson on Sat, 22 Feb 2014 20:24:22 GMT]]>

@mike-h said:

Combine performances rarely "put someone back into Top 15 consideration."

Especially 40-yard dash times for OL.

Haha, well I dont think he had really dropped out of the first round. And its not just the 40, hes grading out great in most categories. And go ask Lane Johnson if a 40 time helped him.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/388174https://brownsboard.com/post/388174Sat, 22 Feb 2014 20:24:22 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Greg Robinson on Sat, 22 Feb 2014 20:16:28 GMT]]>

Well, if we need to win the inaugural 'OL 40yd dash event', then I guess these guys are our best bet.

Running the 40 isnt just a test for speed ya know. Also, its funny reading these OLineman tweeting how they wish they had these guys speed. It matters.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/388172https://brownsboard.com/post/388172Sat, 22 Feb 2014 20:16:28 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Greg Robinson on Sat, 22 Feb 2014 20:14:10 GMT]]>

@gftchris said:

Take a guard at 4? Seriously? I mean, I know Farmer was talking curveballs, but, really?

yes, really. Id say finding an impact guard who can move out to tackle (he may start at RT moving Schwartz inside) would improve this team more than any position outside of QB. This is assuming we dont add a G in FA of course.]]>https://brownsboard.com/post/388166https://brownsboard.com/post/388166Sat, 22 Feb 2014 20:05:47 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Greg Robinson on Sat, 22 Feb 2014 20:02:49 GMT]]>

I'd prefer a different position, but if we can get another potential Joe Thomas I'd like it.

Lewan was the fastest out of all the OL with 4.87

Robinson was a 4.92

Those other guys dont have the film or size to match Robinson. Put him at G and our run game is set. McGahee would average 4 with this guy in front of him.

The guards are the issue on the o-line, right? They can get guards in this draft outside of the first.
