Anybody seen much of the Minnesota kid, Ersery? I admittedly didn't watch any Gopher football this year but he reportedly has struggled a little in Senior Bowl practice. I'm wondering if he might be someone who might be better served kicking inside to guard? GBN just updated their rankings and have him ranked 36th

He's listed as 6'6 do you think thats a little big?

I like Luke Kandra out of Cincinnati. He never committed a penalty all year. Rates very well as a run blocker but rates even higher as a pass blocker. I have read up on many OGs in this draft and he intrigues me a ton. Great football IQ. If you watch his stuff, he is very fast with his first step to take on DTs.

Not really. The NFC champion Eagles have 6'8" Mekhi Beckton starting at RG for them.

Good stuff about Kandra. I frequently see him available in mocks around the 4th round. Not sure if that's accurate or not. 6-4, 323 is ideal guard size. A little bigger than what we're used to, but I think we NEED to get a little bigger inside. His athletic numbers at the combine will be big for him. But I see the Bearcats ran a lot of zone in Cincy, so that won't be unfamiliar to him.

I think he fits perfect for what we are trying to do. I feel we need to come away with Kandra in this draft and I would say it's a success for what we are working with. He is the OG that just stands out to me this draft. Not sure what it is about him. TO me, it has a lot to do with his football IQ and understanding of the game. That goes along way when the defense lines up as well.

I think his size is perfect. We get beat up so bad inside. Grab a G in FA and snag him and I think he starts week 1
