I'm not a fan of Whitehair
Weakness for an NFL guard is not a good thing.At the combine, that was illustrated when Whitehair put up the lowest bench press total of any offensive lineman (16 reps)

Max Turek would still be ok at some point

True, but bench pressing only measure one form of strength. Core strength is more important. Whitehair could be a valuable swing player while he gains strength?VikingLord wrote:I'm not a fan of Whitehair

Re: 2016 NFL Draft thread
Whitehair would be interesting for us. He took snaps at center. Good player

Re: 2016 NFL Draft thread
I'm hoping for bell or billings, I think we need tackles more so than guards.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft thread
He's the best guard out there. Zimmer will have him spending some extra time in the weight room. Even as he is now, hes as good as what we have playing.VikingLord wrote:I'm not a fan of Whitehair

Re: 2016 NFL Draft thread
Yeah reminds me of that Stanford guy we took in the 5th several years ago...can't remember his name but the VMB thought he was the SOD and he never amounted to anything because he was too weak.VikingLord wrote:I'm not a fan of Whitehair

Re: 2016 NFL Draft thread
Seeing Tweets wanting us to take Bell. I didn't study him closely. Anyone have thoughts on him?

Re: 2016 NFL Draft thread
Yankey was a weak guard. He just couldn't handle the power of defensive players in the NFL. Maybe the same with White hair.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft thread
Maybe the best guard, but I don't think the best player. This would be a reach pick IMHO.PurpleKoolaid wrote: He's the best guard out there. Zimmer will have him spending some extra time in the weight room. Even as he is now, hes as good as what we have playing.
