ravinmaniac52 Posted April 29, 2017 Author Posted April 29, 2017 GOOSE Called it. Not bad Nico Siragusa Strengths Compact, girthy frame with thickly muscled arms. Low center of gravity with adequate hip bend to unlock power. Strong core. Able to scoop under defenders and root them out. Drive blocker with strength to win individual battles. Better-than-expected maneuverability when asked to pull. Able to redirect his weight. Has anchor to pass-set at shallow depths and handle bull rushers. Showed a little more nasty in his game as a senior than he did in junior season. Great in the locker room and well liked. Sounds like a Center Quote
papasmurfbell Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 But they need a T and C so how does he fix that? Quote
tsylvester Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 But they need a T and C so how does he fix that?Tackle was their biggest need on offense, their biggest need in this draft. Yet they go 3 defensive players in their first four picks, a lazy one, a project one and a first rounder who will play special teams.... Quote
oldno82 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Alex Lewis moves to tackle OK...I buy that but there seems to be no alternative than Mangold for center. Hopefully Siragusa lives up to his strengths. Quote
tsylvester Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Oh boy, another guard... With only 12 starts... Arms to short to be a tackle in the NFL..... Quote
cravnravn Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Oh boy, another guard... With only 12 starts... Arms to short to be a tackle in the NFL.....Pffffft Da Bears put their entire draft on an ACC scrub that had 13 starts Quote
Tornado700 Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 So far, this is a great draft. The Ravens will get those position of need players some how, some way, most likely in free agency. Hold your horses fellas, hold your horses. This ain't over yet. Quote
vmax Posted April 29, 2017 Posted April 29, 2017 Great value at 122. This is where you find your lineman.Note: The third-team Associated Press All-American started every game as a senior, earning first-team All Mountain West honors for the second straight year. In fact, Siragusa started all 41 games over the past three years at left guard for the Aztecs, one big reason Donnel Pumphrey set the NCAA career rushing record. Forget what the experts say. None of them knows anything on any players after the top 10 rated players whom they got all their information on by reading Mel and Mike. They then take what they read, regurgitate it differently, add a twist (like he's a big Beyonce' fan) so that they can't be accused of plagiarism.Sorta like how I got through High School ANALYSISSTRENGTHS Compact, girthy frame with thickly muscled arms.

He'll turn into a great road grader. Big, strong, nasty. Low center of gravity and a huge Beyonce fan.He's not going to get pushed around.The Ravens will have a fabulous run game in a year or so if InMornhingwego remembers to call a run play. Quote
ravinmaniac52 Posted April 29, 2017 Author Posted April 29, 2017 Weaknesses Relies heavily on tremendous athleticism and explosion. Still learning how to string moves together and work with a pass-rush plan. At times, will take too long to activate counter moves when initial attack has stalled. Effort level appears closely tied to fatigue level at times. As pass rusher, uses hands reactively too often rather than proactively. Gets too cozy with blockers and will ride block for too long. Needs more urgency in disengagement. Would benefit with violent stick-and-move punch quickness into blockers. Has to work overtime to set a strong edge. Gets uprooted and widened out by quality run-blocking tackles. Never played in more than 70 percent of the defensive snaps in any of his three seasons at Texas A&M. Scouts are convinced he took plays off to protect his health this season. Quote
