There are questions about his bulk, strengths, and run blocking, pus I've read many reviews tha the cannot run block effectively, and is easily bull rushed? He seems very similar to Mawae..quck feet, can pull, etc..but on the down sid like Mawae, straight ahead run blocking is not one of his strengths..at least right ow anyway?
He's going to start next season. He'll have Kendall on one shoulder and Brandon Moore likely on the other and he'll do fine.
He is a starter from Day 1, no question. He and Ferguson will have their rookie moments this season, but in a couple of years they will anchor one of the stoutest lines in the NFL. I have no doubt about that.
are you kidding me you better add center to that list.. you draft a center in rd 1. he better be starting from day 1 . d brick and mangold better be starter thats why you drafted the SAFE pick right.
Somewhere there is a shoe lodged in a television screen, with Norm Katnik's name written all over it.
He better be. You don't draft a center in the 1st round if he's not a starter right away. A center in the 1st round is almost unheard of.
I think he will be penciled in as a starter. However, no matter how high he was drafted he is still a rookie at one of the hardest positions to learn coming into the NFL. No doubt there will be growing pains. That is why the FO signed Teague. They thought ahead, which is a huge departure from the past regime. In case Mangold struggles too much, Teague can come in and start a couple games. But in the long run, he is going to be a cornerstone.
Teague can play tackle and I think the Jets also signed this kid Norm Katnik who played at USC. Nothing like alittle competition at center.
im sorry when you draft a center in rd 1. there is no competition. this guy should be start since yesterday .
You rarely draft 1st round linemen to watch. Both your guys will start as will Davin Joseph and likely Jeremy Trueblood. Only way they don't get in is if who ever they're here to replace has a resurgence due to preasure and really steps up in TC and PS.
There's no room for Mangold to start this year, we have the C and G's set. he'll learn under teague, get some PT and be ready to go in year 2.
Agreed. Mangold will be the starter, however competition still exist. Tangini knows what it's going to take to make everyone starter ready.
