I'm going to have to watch some more of the practices and pay more attention to Utah OG Z. Beedles. I blew him off most of the week, but he showed me some power in the run game on Saturday.

Anybody got any thoughts on 'Bamas "Mount Cody" after the Senior-Bowl week/game ? After they said he was up 'bout 20 lbs from the end of the college season to 370, drafting him would seem to be more of a risk than ever ?

If Cody is available in the 3rd round, sure. Otherwise, I'm taking a pass on him. Dan Williams and Cam Thomas are better prospects in my opinion with better work ethic.

Cody is a monster, when he gets tired of an OL in a drill he tosses the guy aside, no matter who the guy is. But Cody is to heavy to play more than a handful of plays in a row in the current NFL. If Cody came here, IMO he would die before the 2nd day of practice. The heat and his weight would be to much for him.

Unlike Roy, I would take a flyer on him in the 2nd round, but I would have to understand he is not a full timer, and I would have to try to pick his spots to get the most from him.

Cody does not attempt to rush the passer right now and his pro coaches must understand he is a run stopper block occupier only.

Since Roy and PK are in on this thread I would like to ask their opinion on LeGarrette Blount. From what I saw he was the best RB in the game and fits our need of a big back. I am aware of his imperfections character wise, but then we don't know all that led up to the sucker punch. If he passes the 'smell test' do you believe a draft choice (3 or 4) could be used on this guy?

On film he looks ok, watch the video where he lost it, he talked smack all week and then had a bad game. If our front office gets into his head and is willing to take a shot on him, who am I to argue.

That said I do not touch him before the 4th.

I am not sure who this, but here is a different take on the incident.

Didn't excuse Blount, but did point out that Hout actually started it.

Okam has been a real disappointment to me. At one time in college, I thought he would be a great one, then he just didn't seem to want to anymore after his sophomore season. So if we take a flyer on Cody I would hope they really get into his head to see if he really wants it or not before they draft him.

This guy is really impressive in spurts: in a one-on-drill during practice week he overwhelmed a double-team and then on one play in particular during
Saturdays game he made an outstanding play, showing his athleticism even with the handicap of his immense weight. He kinda reminds me of Vince Wilfork when he came out of the U - exceptional athlete for his huge size, but a really fat guy to with all the risk and downside that goes with that. Wilfork is still playing at a high-level though, was in Miami for the probowl this week and he's been in the league 4 or 5 years.
If there was just a way to get into this guys head and motivate him to stay at 335 or so he might be special ?

I don't remember Wilfork ever being a tub of lard. He is a big guy, but not fat like Cody.
