Draft 2021

Concerns about arm length? They were short but have grown in the last 3 months? Are there pictures during the season that his hands only reaching his belt line, and now they reach his knees?

I want to know how many times he beat the piss out of someone. If it was during a game, that would be a plus.

There were concerns that his arms were under 33". The problem with that is that there are no starting OTs with arms shorter than that. Anamolies happen, but they're anamolies for a reason.

My ranking of the OT's that are likely to be available to us is:

Tevein Jenkins, Liam Echenberg, Samuel Cosmi

My preference would be to get any one of the 3 in a trade back scenario.

So if a guy has 32 1/2 inch ares the colts shouldnt draft him?

#Colts have virtually met with Oklahoma State OT Tevin Jenkins multiple times throughout the pre-draft process, per source. Indy also was in attendance for Jenkins’ Pro Day.

Keep an eye on Jenkins being one of their top targets at No. 21 to potentially

Yeah he had a great pro day as Dam just said. His RAS came out to 9.75. Only Cosmi has a better RAS. I would also keep an eye on that northern Iowa tackle as a later round pick, he tested out really high too. Jenkins measurables combined with technique and nastiness, gotta think he is a potential pick at 21.

When asked what type of player teams were gonna get

Jenkins said “A tough, physical, nasty motherfucker”

Damn, I really like him now.

Freeney was short. Never should have drafted that fool.

Freeneys game was predicated on speed. He had 32+ arms on a 6 ft body which is pretty long. But he wasn’t bull rushing and standing up the tackle with long arms. He was beating him with a first step and spin move. Freeney was also a liability against the run, something many teams exploited especially the pats.

Not all edge players are the same or play the position the same. The Watt brothers play different positions and different styles based on their abilities. Both are effective though.
