Placeholder For OL Prospects

@"FSUVike" said: You have to take a chance on Muti. The ceiling is through the roof, as MJ would say. Tua's going Top 10, probably Top 5, with what could easily turn into a degenerative hip condition. 

Imagine Ruiz and Muti! Samia becomes the swing Guard. Elf is the emerging Center. Williams and O'Neill at Tackles with Udoh in training to replace Hill as the swing Tackle. It'll cost you Harris, but the Line is fixed and deep for years to come!

I like the thought of Ruiz and Muti alongside Bradbury. Just don't know what to think about the injury. Muti's a huge wildcard. 

How about this: 

LT: Trent Williams, HIll
LG: Cesar Ruiz (D1b), Pinter (D5)
C: Bradbury, Ruiz
RG: Dru Samia, Pinter
RT: Brian O'Neill, Udoh

If we want Ruiz (and I sure do!), we may have to get in front of the Cowboys to do it....been reading they’re pretty high on him to replace Frederick.

I take it you meant our center Bradbury...? Elf s/b emerging on the waiver wire.  ;)

Article from the sidebar says Vikings have shown interest in G, Robert Hunt. This is a player you don't hear a lot about, but I listened to a podcast yesterday where a couple of scouts were raving about his flexibility to play every position. You want a guard who can start right away and later project to right tackle, this might be your guy.

Jeremiah ranks him at 60. McGinn has him as the top guard in the draft not named Tristan Wirfs.

2. ROBERT HUNT, Louisiana (6-5, 323, no 40, 2): Started at LG in 2016-’17 and at RT in 2018-’19. “Tough guy,” said one scout. “Got some initial pop. He can strike you. Not an elite athlete. Got some waist-bend issues. But there’s a lot to work with.” His chances for an early selection took a hit because of a groin injury that required surgery in January and cost him the last seven games and post-season participation. “Had he been able to go to the Senior Bowl and showed out against tough competition he might be a guy we’re talking about late in the first round,” another scout said. “He plays with a mean streak. He’s powerful. He can move people.” His Wonderlic score of 13 was second-lowest among the top guards. “He’s actually much more football smart than you want to give him credit for,” said a third scout. “He’s going to go pretty high because he can play four positions. He’s a little bit rough around the edges. You don’t want to rush him. You don’t want to depend on him to do too much. Maybe third round, but tackles usually get overdrafted so second wouldn’t surprise me.” From Burkeville, Texas.

Great back story on Hunt. 

Are folks still talking about Wirfs at G? Why?

I don't know. HIs 34 inch arms are plenty long enough, but I've heard some say he'll be a good tackle, but an All Pro guard. We'll see. Sounds like the classic "put him at tackle until he proves otherwise" player. Probably depends on where he lands. He's probably not a LEFT tackle.

Scouts on Wirfs: “May be a better guard. Strong, physical run blocker. ...You may start him at right tackle, but eventually you’ll move him inside to guard.” ...After he tested at the combine people started saying, ‘He can play left tackle,’” said another scout. “There’s no verifiable evidence of that. He was not good at left tackle for Iowa.”

I wonder if Becton is going to have a major slide in this draft, kind of like Jawaan Taylor last year. Taylor was a supposed top 10-15 Tackle, and slid all the way into the 2nd.

PA calling Jackson a potential target. Imma gonna puke.

You know there are 1st round teams very high on him, considering where he's ranking on the Brandt, Jeremiah and McGinn boards. And I have a feeling the Vikings are one of them. He has a lot of the things they like: long arms, great feet, athleticism and upside, and he's young at 20 years old. Just think he's a better athlete than he is football player. I could be wrong, but I think he's Matt Kalil 2.0.

I want nothing to do with him. So I am sure he is the OL target.

Love to land this kid in the 4th or 5th round.
