vmax Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) He has great size and looks nasty 2014: Second-team All-Ohio Valley Conference. Started all 12 games 11 at RG and 1 at RT. 2013: Second-team All-Ohio Valley Conference. Started all 14 games at RT. 2012: Played in 10 games with 8 starts. 2011: Played in 10 games with 1 start. 2010: Redshirted.PRO DAY RESULTSVertical jump: 26 1/2 inchesBroad jump: 7 feet, 6 inchesANALYSISSTRENGTHS Has good thickness and strength through lower body. Flashes desired functional strength with ability to anchor against bull rushers. Footwork is a plus and stays balanced in pass protection. Sound technician and recognizes D-line games. Initial punch has some juice behind it. Good body control and knee bend. Gets movement at point of attack when asked to drive block. Well-timed climb to second level. Will look for work downfield and hustles to trail play. Tough player with above-average strength for his size and a frame to add more weight.WEAKNESSES Average lateral athlete. Needs better understanding of angles and positioning as zone blocker. Not overly quick and tends to lose contact on outside runs. Loses strength when hands slide out too wide. Below average change of direction to strike moving targets on second level. Lacks muscle in his arms and has a soft midsection. Must prove he can handle faster, stronger competition.DRAFT PROJECTION Priority free agentBOTTOM LINE Myers is already above average from a technical standpoint and is a quick processor when the game speeds up. Myers is a guard prospect who can pull and play in a power scheme. He has the pass protection traits of an NFL starter. The ceiling is higher for Myers than many guard prospects in this draft, and with more coaching and work in the weight room, he should be an NFL starter Edited May 2, 2015 by vmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 NFL Network slammed Meyers. Said his tape against FCS competition looks great, however he was completely overmatched from a strength perspective at the Senior Bowl. Sounds like a long-term project for us, which is good considering KO is likely to leave next season. Meyers needs time in the weight room, but football IQ and the frame sound like they are there.

oldno82 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I really liked this pick. From what I've read, will eventually be a starter for us and has the smarts to know he'll have to work at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 I'd feel better if his first name was Michael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papasmurfbell Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I don't get this pick. He is a phonebooth blocker. You don't need those in a ZBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
