Draft O-Line Early In 2019? Finally?

If Justis and his charting is to be believed, you really only need to know the shuttle times for OL. If they show great short area lateral quickness they're good enough at anything else they'll need athletically.

Here's a quick rundown of it from a very recent RW article:

https://www.rotoworld.com/article/nfl-dr...it-matters

"These next two sections are singular testing results that best project future success for certain positions. That can be quite an ask, finding a single athletic test that has the highest hit rate among the top performers, but two fit the bill. I know career starts might not be the best way to exhibit success, but it does show a combination of trust and longevity teams have in a player.

First is the 20-yard shuttle for offensive linemen.

These are the top Combine testers from 2010 to 2018. In that span, over 300 OL prospects have completed a 20-yard shuttle (thanks to Anthony Staggs for backing this up). The top 22 are listed above. As you can see, 19 of the 22 were drafted, and those drafted players went on to start 85% of their career games. Taking it one step further, the eight Day 3 OL have started 85.47% of their career games.

It is not a leap to say that if an offensive lineman at this year’s Combine hits that 4.47, you should draft him. This type of success is extremely impressive. Again, that result places them in the top percentiles of their position, but it also results in success."


(the other is obviously 3 cone for EDGE)
