THE draft thread (2013 version)

[Brandon494]

Tretter played tight end in his first two seasons at Cornell, but moved to tackle, and helped the team’s offensive immensely. He started each of his final 20 games at left tackle and is the first offensive lineman to earn All-Ivy League First Team honors since Kevin Boothe in 2005.
Strengths
Athletic build. Possess light feet, and has the athletic ability to mirror pass rushers. Flexible, shows the ability to bend. Moves well laterally. Plays with good balance. Quick off the ball. Recognizes stunts and blitzes well, and has the coordination to execute multiple blocks in these situations.

Weaknesses
Limited experience and played against weak competition. Will likely have to move to guard, due to a lack of length. Lacks core strength. While he's light on his feet, his foot quickness needs to improve.

NFL Comparison Keith Boothe

Bottom Line

Tretter is an athletic offensive lineman, who will likely have to move to the inside at the next level. He plays the game with good balance and coordination. However there will be questions about his length, strength, and the competition he played. Tretter looks to be a nice long-term upside type.

or this guy:

CB >>> Jordan Poyer, Oregon State >>> Good Value Pick Like the fellas above.

Quotes: "David Bakhtiari has become a hot name in the draftnik community, to the point where he is widely believed to be a second-round pick."
"Mayock also noted he thinks Bakhtiari can be a second-round pick and a starter at LT. I prefer him at G but intriguing player."

O-line is a problem that requires fixing

[wist43]

woo hoo!!!!

Two man-boobed, "underdeveloped", "needs to get stronger", "mobile", "versatile"

LOL

A leopard don't change his spots.

What a disaster of a draft.

[woodbuck27]

I predict I may have to look up info on our pick cause I won't know who he is

I had considered him for my Mock #167 Comp. Pick.

TT has me surprized with this pic. Doubling down @ OT is a very telling move.

MENTAL NOTE..................3 OF OUR FIRST 4 PICKS HAVE BEEN ON OFFENSE.....................

O-line is a problem that requires fixing

I absolutely agree with you there... but drafting two more guys who are clones of the softies we already have??

TT is just replacing previously drafted/street FA softies. Year after year, all he's doing is churning the bottom quarter of the roster over and over.

Buffalo News on Tretter: http://blogs.buffalonews.com/press-c...c-tretter.html
From the article: "A heady player who recognizes blitzes, moves well laterally and is packed with potential given his relative inexperience along the line. Will have to prove himself against better competition. Missed a chance to compete at the Senior Bowl because of a broken nose. Will need to continue to get stronger to handle the rushes he’ll see from NFL defensive tackles."
