His pick six was impressive.

People said Fred wasn’t worth drafting in the first round either.
Was it a forced pick based on need? Sure, but it doesn’t make Guyton a bad pick or not worth it.
OL’s was getting old, and it seems like we’ve rebuilt the heart of it in two drafts. Guyton, Smith, and Beebe might never be what Tyron, Fred, and Martin were, but then again almost no one could be that good.

But is he supposed to wait around to see if he needs help? If he does that, then is his assignment already in position to make the play, or should he trust that his teammate does his job, and he goes and does his? And if the guard does not need help while he waits to see if he does, does he still have time to get out and make his block?

Wow... if DA had simply watched the ball (he had clear line of sight), it would've been a TFL.

Yeah it's more like the crowd who thought other OTs in the draft were more pro ready and Guyton would take a year. No one was calling Guyton a second round pick.
And even better we got Guyton and Beebee with the first round pick and right now that looks god damn brilliant.

Undisciplined. That's the problem with the Quinn scheme. It's boom or bust and really struggles with misdirection offenses.

I continue to be amazed at Aubrey's kicking mechanics.
His kicking motion is very compact and effortless....like he's kicking a simple 20 yard chip shot but the ball ends up traveling 60+ yards.

He clearly was just playing the long game.

I'm trying to think if I've ever seen a player change so drastically (in a positive way) from his college rep and what he put on tape to the way he is in his first NFL preseason. I mean, it's literally just a few months and it's like he's a different guy, again in a good way.
They did say OU's OL coach raved about him, so I don't know why he wasn't this great in college. But it's a beautiful thing.

Also, it's funny how we laymen apparently know more than some NFL GMs and scouts. Those of us who watched Beebe at K-State knew what a mauler he was. I'm still surprised he didn't go earlier than he did.

Teams are funny about mauler types. But Beebee is damn mobile for a mauler. Everyone wants interior guys to get to the second level but Beebee can do that and maul at the point of attack.

Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have used that word. I just meant an all around badass MFer.
The only negative I can think of is maybe the scouts got hung up on him not looking that great? I mean he's one of those guys who looks almost soft, doesn't have the bodybuilder type muscles, etc. But this ain't bodybuilding and that doesn't mean anything.

Not sure why he was there for us but damn glad he was. And even better it was a bonus pick while moving down and still getting our starting LT.
