You've never been beaten up by a guy with 31 inch arms right mael ? Because guy with 31 inch arms are undraftable right ? Bullcrap ! Go watch some tape on him, I can believe how stupid your last post sounds. Watch the tape, you'll see. Short armes are a plus at his position.
Unbelievable
When you're considering drafting a guy in the first round, you need to consider things like his physical limitations because they go a pretty long way in determining the ceiling of a player.
He's got really short arms. In fact, decent success with arms of his length would be almost unprecedented as an inside/out lineman. He's in the 2nd percentile of arm length at the spot. If you put him in a room with 99 other defensive linemen, 98 will have longer arms.
Outliers are concerning, especially when we're talking about length in the trenches. It's a game of inches. He has to fight that much harder to get his hands into an offensive lineman. OL has to fight that much less to deliver a solid initial punch and win the rep.
Fiske already has issues with hand usage. It hurts him badly in run defense. Will the alligator arms allow him to improve enough to be anything more than a fringe starter? I have my doubts, especially since he's going to be a 24 year old rookie.
He could be successful and overcome that, sure. But to act as if it isn't a concern is insane. Not only is it fairly unprecedented in cases outside of Calijah Kancey (obviously quite different), but it's pretty relevant to his actual function as a player.
I wouldn't consider him in the first. I don't even know about the second. That's just a little much for me. I'd rather take my chances with a Marshawn Kneeland, Kris Jenkins, Michael Hall, or Ruke Orhorhoro. Significantly less red flags and more upside in all of their profiles.
EDIT: And just to be clear, no. No, short arms are not a plus at that position. You want to know how I know?
Because guys with arms that short rarely succeed at the spot. Simple as.
