Round 4
Overview
Four-year starter with extensive experience at both right guard and right tackle. Laumea is a very competent drive blocker and possesses adequate agility and athleticism to get to lateral landmarks on the move. He can get from block to block as a climber and is generally conscientious of his footwork to bolster his success on positional blocks. His habit of over-setting and opening inside tracks to the pocket is a concern, whether he's at tackle or guard. One issue that might not be correctable is his propensity for disengaging from blocks after initial contact rather than sustaining. Laumea fits all run schemes and has future starting potential at guard.


don't know too much about him.


Steven Jones: out of oregon last year. big man 340lbs.

Draft Projection
Round 7/PFA
Overview
Big, strong guard who uses size and body control to make up for athletic deficiencies. Jones is a downhill blocker who works to sustain blocks without getting overextended past his feet. He is scheme-dependent and won’t be able to make lateral blocks against pro defenders. His wide frame can clog gaps in protection and he does a good job of getting his hands out and snapping punches into rushers with decent timing. Taking on sub-package rushers and quick-start athletes might be more than he can handle. Jones won’t be a fit for everyone, but he does have the profile to compete for a guard spot in a power-based scheme.


Lorenzo Thompson: out of rhode island.

Draft Projection
Priority free agent
Overview
Thompson’s lack of guard experience could be an issue for him, as he will need to prove to NFL teams that he can play with the pad level and hand quickness to survive inside. He’s athletic as a move blocker, but he’s narrow in his upper body and has shorter arms, which creates opportunities for defenders to beat his blocks along his edges


Aiden Williams: out of duluth/u of minnesota.

Draft Projection
Round 7/PFA
Overview
Sixth-year senior who is likely to transition from tackle to guard due to a lack of length. Williams has a frame that should accept more muscle mass with additional work and he plays with admirable aggression. He has the athletic qualities move-blocking teams look for and can get to play-side/back-side blocks. His hand placement and pad level frequently leave him at a disadvantage leverage-wise, though, and his pass protection is too reactive, leading to frantic recoveries that lack technique. Williams has developmental potential that might warrant a trip to a practice squad for a look.


Doug Nester: out of WVU. has been around the steelers for a couple of years now.

Draft Projection
Priority free agent
Overview
Five-year starter who is more durable and reliable than he is athletic or skilled as a pro prospect. Nester carries an NFL frame with adequate length, but his feet are slow, and his athletic profile drops below the functional levels expected on the next level. Nester is unable to succeed as a move blocker and pass protector with range and might not be strong enough to generate the push needed to appeal to power teams.


Spencer Anderson out of maryland. 7th round draft pick of steelers and has been around for 3 years. can play near any position. the all important BU center. has had some play time and starts.

Jack Driscoll: brought in last year later in the season.

A fourth-round choice in the 2020 NFL Draft, Driscoll played in 67 regular-season games with the Eagles, with 18 starts. Driscoll has made nine starts at right guard, eight at right tackle and one at left tackle.

 

What's wrong with Spencer to feeling like we need to sirens a top draft pick?

 

i think we could upgrade him. he is OK as what he is a swing depth guy. he's more of the jack of all trades master of none. nice to havee available on gameday. i really want to draft a guy that could be a starting guard and a tackle in this draft to add to the pipeline of young players we have, while we still have Campon here. i don't think he will be a long term coach for us so take advantage while we have him.
