We have but I don't know specifically how we have leaned in. You can obviously take workout numbers and come to different conclusions. And it's sort of position specific for us. Like we don't seem to draft WR's based on workout numbers. Although I guess you could say we drafted Fehoko that way. But in general we aren't drafting what I'd call workout warriors. Not the guy with the freak forty or anything like that at least. But we may be putting more of a specific emphasis on length and explosiveness.

I don't think anyone thought Scott was drafted for his athleticism initially when we all saw the 4.7 forty. Although once you throw that number out suddenly he looks like a workout warrior. I'm not sure how good he was in college. I haven't watched enough of him to say. I've seen some stuff that looks awesome. And then I've seen some stuff that makes it look like he doesn't hustle. The fact that the kid ran a forty with an injured leg combined with the interview after he was drafted makes me think he loves football and will put the work in. We will see though. At least there appears to be talent to develop there.

This isn't Nahshon Wright who basically had terrible athletic scores but was stupid long and ran a decent forty. Wright had a worse 10 yard split than Schoonmaker for fucks sake. Worse verticle than Schoonmaker. All of which while being about 60-70 pounds lighter. He literally has no short area quickness or change of direction ability. Scott at least has something to work with.

I think we need a Simp breakdown, ala Smith.
 
I recall when they drafted Travis Frederick #1 and all the amateur draftnik wannabes screamed and hollered and moaned (me included) about what a horrible 1st round pick it was, as did the Greek Chorus draft gurus.

Turned out Frederick was a pretty goddamn good center -- 5 pro bowls -- till he got sick. So to paraphrase the old Nike Bo Jackson/Bo Diddley commercial, ain't nobody knows diddely till they start to play.

He was the best center this team's ever had. Fluke disease might have kept him out of the ROH

Wishful thinking.

He’s cheap depth who has an outside shot to be better than his contract if he stays healthy and things start to click for him.

Low risk player who might get cut if some of the younger players and draftees show signs.

Yeah, but I still want to know why the guy went into the archives.

I am concerned about the LG situation too.

But if this guy is a part of that equation, bad things man.

Likely because he didn’t flash beyond that role.

He’s really an experiment. With him having started so few games in four years there probably isn’t much to distinguish him in either direction. He’s blah, and yes the OL has a major hole when you consider Steele might not be ready or Tyron could go down at any point.

With both tackles at full strength, we have one of the better starting five in the league, but there is no 6th man.

Personally I’m rooting for Matt Waletzko, but we have no idea how he even plays let alone whether he’s truly “knocking his rehab out of the park” as MM says
 
I just remember reading the first time we showed interest in him that Jets fans would've taken a ham sandwich for him. They couldn't wait to get rid of him.
