For a guy that played six years at Kentucky in the SEC. He seems to play more technical and less physical. Very surprising considering the teams he faced in the SEC defensively. This is worth noting though. Something I didn't know until I actually looked up his history.

He didn't start playing Center until his final year at Kentucky. Did not know that. He was primarily a guard. Pretty good right guard at that in 2020. So, that's interesting. Only one real year as the Center at Kentucky in six years and then he's thrusted into the line-up at the NFL level.

That's a tall order and tough task for anybody. Having said that. My hope is that he gets stronger this summer, gets faster and gets more comfortable back pedaling and acting instead of sitting upright and waiting to react. That's my biggest takeaway in these snippets so far. He's not moving fast enough, he's waiting on the action to come his way instead of getting after it and mauling somebody.

There's still a lot of hope for him and plenty of room to grow. Worst case? We have a capable Guard already on the roster and with the addition of a veteran Center or potentially drafting a guy, like Wypler out of OSU or Patterson out of ND, we might be fine in the long run.

Once again though, much like Walker & Lloyd. Essentially the first three picks appeared to have either:

A. Been playing out of position due to coaching decisions.

B. Regressed off and on throughout the year. Not uncommon. They're rookies. BUT... playing out of position or at a position with just one full year of actual experience? Meh....

Those three have to step it the hell up BIG TIME in 2023 but the coaching staff absolutely has to ensure their aces are in their places with the talent they have. Really still bummed out that it took this staff a little too long to move Walker around and then to shoot Lloyd's confidence pretty much right down the drain by putting Muma in there, who, also had his moments of failing to find his man in coverage or wrap up, etc.

Man, the more I think about it. The more concerning it is really.
