Donaldson is alot bigger than him physically even compared when they were both in high school. I think rivers more nimble on his feet than Donaldson I could see him sticking to right tackle and being good there depending on strength and conditioning and then obviously coaching
Yeah Donaldson has much more bad weight than rivers has that’s for sure . Donaldson May have been a better athlete(we have seen him running routes on 7 on 7) but he doesn’t have the feet and laterally quickness that rivers has imo to play at tackle . At the least imo rivers is a right tackle with a solid chance at playing left tackle
Jesus Christ....Your Devils Advocacy is F-ing Ridiculous....
My point exactly to me he has alot better lateral quickness. I think you try him at left tackle but i think his best position it right tackle
Man donaldson was like 375 coming out of high school and real top heavy. He moves better straight line than rivers but rivers moves much better laterally which is what you need at tackle.
How does the OT look? Denis is an OG too right?
Is Walker > Dumervil or just a shorter long shot?
Both actually. I think Walker is the most surefire left tackle on our board and will be starting at that position for years in college. Dumerville, although impressive, is a bit more stiff in his movements and will require some work to stick on the left side.
So if we were to get Dumervil, he’s a RT?
What are our chances with Connor McLaughlin? He looks like that long lean OT type that Coach Barry favors. Seems like he may end up at Stanford though.
Reminds me of the kid from St. Pete back in Golden era that flipped on signing day to Stanford. Every time I hear Stanford that’s what I think about.
Yea, but I get it though. That's a tough offer to pass up.
**** Yeah it is
If you get lets say a class of Dumerville, Rivers, Smith, Walker and you were asked to make a line with those guys then Walker has the best chance at left, Dumerville would then be RT, Smith C and Rivers guard. If you add a guys like Connor Mclauglin in there then I think u kick Dumerville inside. However they should all be tried out at tackle in my opinion and I think all but Smith have left tackle potential under the right circumstances
Not suprised donaldson shuttle is faster because donaldson is faster than rivers. The shuttle drill you still have to turn and run. I'm talking just the ability to move laterally. Donaldson doesn't seem as quick as rivers when he has to pop up and kick out in pass pro at tackle. I think he can play guard too but i see him as a rt for now.
This is mesmerizing
