Cordy Glenn at Combine

[Mitch]

Unreal, folks. He runs in the 4.9s at 6-5 340 pounds. His 10 yard split was in the explosive 1.7 range (unreal).

Huge man---amazingly athletic for his size. After an excellent Senior Bowl, this kid is going to rise up the charts.

Mike Adams? A mere 19 reps at 225---very disappointing, almost unthinkable for a top prospect LT.

David DeCastro---didn't look nearly as athletic as one would think, he ran like a 5.3 or 5.4---he looks smaller than I thought too. John Lott had him fired up on the reps at 225, I think he had 31, which is great. Obviously, all you need to do is watch his game tapes to know how good he is---but it was just surprising to see him look so average athletically because he doesn't look that way on tape.

The C from Michigan David Molk had over 40.

Tom Compton, T, North Dakota aslo ran in the 4.9s and his 10 yard split was tops at a 1.67.

Adams didn't run very impressive either and didn't look all that athletic to me.

Scott Wright has Compton as a sleeper pick. I think the guy made himself some money today.

I don't know my draftees yet. What position does Glenn play?

I don't like fatties manning my OT positions...which is why our guys get killed by speed rushers

I believe he's projected to be RT or Guard.

 

[Brewster10]

So Adams plays great in pads and controls first round Dlinemen at the senior bowl, but because he runs slow in shorts and can't bench press, he's kicked down the board.

I always find this stuff interesting.

I agree, watch the film & don't get caught up to much in the combine.

Oooof..... All I remember hearing from Grimm when he moved Wells to Guard was how he needed athletic guards who can pull effectively. This could seriously move DeCastro down our board.

I just have to keep reminding myself that the tape on this guy is awesome.

You should also not put so emphasis on 1 meaningless all-star game. Watch the tape, or games, and tell me he is top 20 pick, because he isn't.

 

[az jam]

De Castro may not run a fast 40 but is very impressive overall.

Todd McShay ‏
Hard to look better than DeCastro did during am OL drills. Kalil also killing it right now, as expected. No doubt top OG, OT respectively


Aaron Wilson ‏ @RavensInsider
Stanford offensive guard David DeCastro, the top player at his position, bench pressed 225 pounds 34 times. Impressive

 

[joeshmo]

Decastro's speed and agility numbers were not bad but they were average. But Decastro's drills were amazing. Dude killed it in the drills. Haven't seen that from an interior guy in a few years at this event. Don't let the average speed numbers fool you dude can trap and pull better then any guard over the last 5+ years. Have no issues with taking him @13.

Cordy Glenn is a powerful man, I mean seriously 36 inch long arms and he put up the bar 31 times. Those massively strong and long arms will help stop edge rushers in their tracks, if he can get those feet to go with it even better. I without question take this guy to play RT before I even though about about Mike Adams. Not a Mike Adams fan one bit. If we traded down into the 20's I have no problem taking this dude.

Not OL talk but, looks like those Alshon Jeffries overweight rumors were completely false. Not just false but way off.

 

[Mitch]

Cbus saw Adams on an every week basis (when he wasn't injured or suspended)---just simply on what Cbus says, there's NO way one could justify taking him with the #13 pick. The way today went---it wouldn't be surprising if he drops into the 2nd round.

Agree with all of it---I was even thinking during Cordy Glenn's performance
that if the Cardinals drafted him, they would plank him down at RT---did you see the hips on this guy? Not only are they huge, they are fluid.

Who are you????

 

[Mitch]

Jonathan Martin, T, Stanford---sized in at 6-5, 314, 34" arms (proto-typical LT size and arm length)---said he was "the best tackle in the draft" better than Kalil and Reiff---but then said he's been suffering from food poisoning and will not run or do the bench---will save it for his Pro Day in March. Make of it what you will, I guess.

Only one thing to say about DeCastro. The coaches used him every time to show the others how to do it. That's demonstrable athleticism at work.

The guy to look out for: Philip Blake C/G Baylor.

 

[Snakester]

I thought decastro was very good in the drills. He would be my pick at 13. I think Riley Reiff hurt himself just a little . He could slide down to the 10 to 15 range. Cordy Glenn was faster than I thought he would be and helped his draft stock but I would not take him at 13 . I still think he will be a better guard than a tackle.

 

[Duckjake]

I believe LT

I don't like fatties manning my OT positions...which is why our guys get killed by speed rushers

Our guys get killed by speed rushers because opponents can line up their outside rushers a yard or more off our Tackles outside shoulder and the Cards don't do anything about it. (Meanwhile our outside rushers are heads up on the OTs which is why we don't get any pass rush. To be fair Horton has stopped doing this as much which is one reason the pass pressure improved last season.)

Then there's the ubiquitous blocking down on an inside rusher while leaving the outside guy a free run at our QB or RB.

The Cards don't need draft picks to fix the oline they need better blocking assignments and offensive play calls.

Per Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com, Whisenhunt said he interviewed “one of the better guards in the draft” on Friday night. “He is a very passionate, stone-faced guy, very intense,” Whisenhunt explained. “He did 30-something reps in the bench press.”

(DeCastro did 34 reps.)

“I was kind of joking around but I wanted to see how he’d take it,” Whisenhunt continued. “I said, ‘So let me get this right, you did 18 reps in the bench press?’

“I thought he was going to come out of his chair and fight me, because he was upset I had shorted him out of 14 reps on the bench press. We were laughing about that.”

If these comments really were about DeCastro, it sound like he has the mean streak covered.

Says he shorted him out of 14 reps. Guards who did 32 reps were:
Osemele, Zeitler,and Ryan Miller.

When we reach for an LT because we were surprised at how much someone else paid Levi Brown, it'll bean interesting choice between Glenn and Adams.

My money's still on Adams. Levi Brown clone and Russ Grimm straight up fell in love with Levi Brown.

If you watched Adams today, you'd hardly call him a levi clone. Glenn, however, was one of the more impressive specimens. A 40yd under 5s, and a 10yrd split better, if I remember correctly, then any OL at last year's combine.
