Maybe with the new coaching staff, this guy won't be a wasted trade. He is really big...maybe he can fill a hole in our o-line. Probably not, but there is a small bit of hope.
How was it a wasted trade before? He was a project and to give the OL some depth. Seems like a nice pick up to me in general and was picked up knowing he needed time to develop.
i agree Late round picks have trouble even making the team the fact that he is still on our roster equals a decent 6th or 7th round pick
Look out for Ian Snell. I have "reason to believe" that he has gotten rave reviews from scouts in the NFL and also NFL europe. Apparently he really lit people up in practice this past season, but for whatever reason, Marrone wouldnt give him the time of day. He has a playing style said to be similar to Mike Wahle. I doubt he has that kind of talent, but if he's even half as smart, intense, and athletic...we may have found a diamond in the rough.
He is average at best...there is a reason he didn't step on the field last year. The guy is worse than Scott Gragg.
But of course you conveniently forgot to include that the JETS extended his contract last year and moved him to LT. And they did that wityhout seeing him play a dowen for the GREEN& White! Do you suppose that they might have seen him play for GB as a starter for sevaral games?
He never saw the field for Green Bay, let alone start. The only time he saw on the field was 7 game playing Special Teams for the Jets. The guy is average at best. http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/484883
He's a project w/ some decent upside. None of us have seen him play at all. He has decent measureables and is said to be a guy w/ potential. He could be a Brandon Moore or he could be a Dave Yovanovits..we'll hafta wait and see. But little to no inferences can be made about him.
