Maybe but that’s against college level competition. When he moves up to the NFL, he’s gonna realize there’s many big boys like him in the league and he will need to push himself to be better than them. We haven’t had that kind of presence on the line since Cortez Kennedy. I believe he’s worth trading up for.
I'd put the likelihood of that happening at a definite maybe.
If Malik McDowell didn’t turn his brain into soup, he could’ve been a great player. We just don’t know. Yeah he took plays off at Michigan state, but the rest of the team sucked so that might have hurt his motivation. When he turned it on he was a man among boys.
It also came out that Malik McDowell also supposedly had some of the worst interviews that some execs say they've ever witnessed at the combine. Everyone in the NFL draft has potential, whether or not they reach their potential is the golden question. I think he had much deeper issues than just simply motivation if what they're saying is true.
Are you sure he's gonna realize he actually needs to push himself or is he going to do what he has shown to this point...relying on athleticism and not having adversity in his college career.
Considering how that team is operating recently there may be a chance....Wait a minute the GM and coach got fired so maybe you're correct.
You never know, the new coach/gm might pull a Kingsbury and trade Murray before or after drafting a QB at 3.
I could easily see a team moving up to draft a QB Arizona's spot. I actually think Anderson or Carter will be around at 5.
I'll tell you something, watching the OSU/Georgia game to watch Carter, the person I was sold on is center Luke Wypler. Every time he went against Carter one on one (it was only four reps) he stoned Carter. He worked very well against the stunts. He handled the blitzes very well from the linebackers. He only lost two reps against Nazir Stackhouse one on one in the run game, where Stackhouse is almost always doubled in the run game against other teams. He also handled Stackhouse's bull rush very well. He pulled a few times effectively on runs. He was a bit late on the two screens that OSU tried, but mostly it was because he was being pushed on by Georgia's very good defense. When Stroud got out of the pocket, Wypler was looking for someone to block even though Stroud was already past him. Their other linemen pretty much stood there watching Stroud run. I would not be opposed to taking him in the third round. The biggest knock on him is that he needs to get stronger, but that shouldn't be too much of an issue.
IF qb’s go 1-2 they may pick Anderson and Indy MAY pick a qb
