Games watched: Texas A&M (2020), Texas A&M (2021), Ole Miss (2021) , Alabama (2021)
Best Game Studied: Alabama (2021)
Worst Game Studied: Auburn (2021)
Competitive Toughness: Green is a great competitor. He consistently battles on the interior of the offensive line. Green is a tempo setter for the Aggies offensive line and plays the game with an aggressive temperament. Consistently works to put defenders on the ground. He is always looking for an opportunity to make contact with a defender and make his presence felt. Has the exact mental temperament that you desire in an offensive lineman.
Pass Sets: Green is a well proportioned offensive lineman possessing great lower-body thickness. Green keeps great body positioning by maintaining knee bend while moving, which allows him to keep a great base for power. He is always in a powerful position to strike defenders and deliver a powerful blow without overextending himself.
Anchor Ability: Green has exceptional lower-body thickness that serves as his source of power for his anchor ability. Once he gets in position, he does a great job of activating the power in his hips to stop defenders’ momentum. Once Green sits in his base, he is rarely moved backward.
Lateral Mobility: For his size, Green has surprisingly good lateral mobility. In the run game, he is able to trigger this mobility in his ability to be an effective puller on power run plays. He is also able to work to cut defenders off in a zone-blocking scheme. Green's lateral mobility affords him the ability to make key blocks in space and makes him an effective blocker on the second level.
Power at POA: Green aligns in a low stance and at the snap is able to explode out of his hips, generating great movement at the line of scrimmage. He has excellent power and can move defenders off the line of scrimmage when single-blocking defenders. He is always in a powerful, loaded stance that allows him to explode into defenders upon contact. Green has excellent power that will easily translate to the next level.
Hand Technique: Green possesses strong hands that when he latches on defenders he is able to control and stabilize them with his grip. He understands how to counter defensive linemen’s hand moves and is able to get a firm grip on them. Occasionally, Green’s hands may slip outside the interior frame of a defender, but he has the awareness to reset and replace his hands.
Football IQ: Over the past three years, Green has played four different positions along the Aggies offensive line (every position but center). Green has great knowledge for blocking schemes and rarely misses assignments even though he has aligned in so many different positions—this is a testament to his natural knowledge of football.
Versatility: Any team that drafts Green is getting a player that has experience playing four different offensive line positions. Green’s body mass, strength, and athleticism allow him to play in multiple positions effectively. Green’s versatility will serve NFL teams well as they will be able to plug and play him wherever they have a need.
Pass Sets: Out of his stance, Green has a quick first step that he uses to get a jump on defenders and dictate the pass-rush sequence. He has great spatial awareness so he knows exactly how much space he has on either side of him to work his leverage against the defender. When he engages, he shoots his hands and is immediately able to get a firm grasp on defenders, slowing their momentum. Green is great in pass protection because he has the combination of strength and athleticism to match defenders and seems to have an answer for whatever pass-rush move defenders attempt on him.
Flexibility: Green has good flexibility that shows itself in both his run blocking and pass protection. In the run game, Green’s flexibility allows him to work to second-level defenders with a great stance that allows for him to explode into defenders upon contact. In the pass game, Green uses his flexibility to maintain great knee bend and move laterally to mirror defenders.
Prospect Comparison: Elgton Jenkins (2019 NFL Draft, Green Bay Packers)
I'd really rather go DB or DL in first...Maybe a stud LB ala Roquan Smith.
They need to backfill Barr too.
For OL? I'd like to see them go and get a gnarly, proven vet with a mean streak.
get a real offensive line coach as well

CB or DE is more likely. But Green at 12 is intriguing. Fix the gaping hole at RG, Cousins is better, Cook is better, Bradbury is better.
But, I wouldn't scream if we got Sauce or Obajo there either.

Lot more holes on the team now than what I thought ending the season last year.
I just think that really young OL group would benefit from a veteran on the field and in the OL room.
