That is to say, just because you're not a good fit for the ZBS doesn't mean you won't go high, as there are all sorts of man-blocking teams who pick throughout the draft order.

Yeah, like Dallas. Warford fits the mold. Redskins probably won't be interested.

Plus, it's not as though ZBS teams would really be looking at Fluker either. If you're a ZBS team, I don't know if Fluker or Warford are on your board, and Cooper is probably the #1 OG.

Haven't been impressed with Winters he gives up to much ground.

Never said it was that big of a deal. I did go on to say I don't see this guy falling out of the 2nd round.

Similar to Mike Iupati overall. Iupati moved better, but Warford faced far better competition week in and week out. Again, I think Warford is just another fine piece to an excellent class of trench players.

Good to see him getting some attention.

[JohnCandy]

I could really see him as a dark horse for the Bears pick at 20, Phil Emery showed with the Shea McClellin pick that he can shock people a little.

I would be shocked if he made it past the Eagles at 36.

20-36 or after Warmack goes.

Scott and Shane were not as impressed with Warford,

• Kentucky OG Larry Warford didn’t shine today. In “The Pit” for run plays he often was pushed back and looked like he was on skates. In the double team drills, he released to the 2nd level quickly and continued that in the 11-on-11s. Didn’t showcase much strength

He just went from Round 3 (pre-Senior Bowl) to Round 1 (1st day of the SB) to Round 2 (2nd day of the SB). lol

Mayock said he believed Warford would be a starting OG in the NFL for the next 10 years and projected him to go late rounds 2 to early round 3 if I understood his meaning. Probably won't suit a zone blocking scheme but is a terror in the phone booth in pass blocking or run blocking.

He has another good day of practice today and looked good in the 1 on 1s vs John Jenkins.

I think he is a solid 2nd round pick.

Kentucky OG Larry Warford once again flashed his outstanding strength and power. Warford may have cemented himself as the third offensive guard in this draft after Chance Warmack and Jonathan Cooper with his performance this week.

[FUNBUNCHER]

Larry Warford looks like a warm tub of goo. Is he really that highly regarded???

[JohnCandy]

I don't really care what he looks like as long as he is strong and physical.

Now if he looks like that and cannot get 25 reps on the bench then I have some work ethic problems.

But I bet there are some 333lbs lineman in the NFL who do not look great with their shirts off.

Based on tape he is a 2nd round pick and a potential starter and based on that picture I see a ton of physical development that can happen. Which means this guy could get quicker and stronger.

Andre Smith looked about the same, maybe a bit worse. The difference there though was that he came from a top program (with top physical training staff and facilities) and was hyped as a top 5 LT. Athleticism is obviously more desired in a franchise LT than it is a 2nd-3rd round guard prospect. An NFL conditioning program will take care of some of that flab, and as for the rest, if he can play who cares? He's a power scheme guard, no one's going to ask him to pull or release to the next level constantly.

[armageddon]

Why would a top athlete want to look like that? Why not drop some fat and put on some mass?

[JohnCandy]

He has a really strong Senior Bowl and his ability to establish and hold the line of scrimmage was awesome.

[regoob2]

I was actually pretty disappointed in what I saw from him. His change of direction wasn't great and he was walked Jenkins was just walking him back.
