Austin Blythe to Chiefs

[Ram_Rally]

The more I read from more credible sources, it looks like he just got an offer on the table from the Vikings. No decision yet.

which I'm willing to bet means he's going to take that offer back to the Rams and they'll match it.which I'm willing to bet means he's going to take that offer back to the Rams and they'll match it.

Maybe they like enough of the draftable centers that they’d be happy with one of several prospects and feel that one will reach them in rounds2-4. Some sites think there are as many as five or six above average centers in this draft. Now none seem to have the regard of a guy like Travis Frederick did as a sure fire first round pick, but many have 2nd to 4th round grades.

Or maybe Carberry has a trick up his sleeve with an under the radar guy.

I know Les doesn’t like to show his hand in any draft but at this point I don’t think any team believes that he doesn’t want to draft a center in this draft.

I find it hard to believe if they want to draft a center, they won't find multiple choices from #57 through #103. Some of these guys might not be fits but that's for McVay and Carberry to decide.

- Josh Myers - Ohio State - 6’5 312 lbs
Strengths: A two-year starter for the Buckeyes at center, Myers has consistently been one of the best centers in all of college football the last two seasons. Built with excellent size for the center position, Myers possesses the length and the stoutness teams require for their interior players. Utilizing his length to hold the point of attack, Myers quickly gains inside hand leverage and sits down at the point of attack. His lower body strength allows him to sustain blocks while rarely getting moved off of his spot. If he’s initially moved, he quickly resets and re-anchors himself to gain his footing and gain control of the rep. Plays with a good range of motion, showing good footwork while leaving very limited opportunities to defenders to win on pass rush reps. A good communicator that is seen pre-snap calling out protection schemes. High IQ and pre-snap awareness allow him to see blitzes and stunts quickly. Works well with his teammates on combination blocks in the run game, opening up holes at the 1st level. Excellent upper-body power and iron-grip hand strength allow him to latch on without losing sustain. Effective when used to pull in space, showing terrific initial quickness and anticipation to reach 2nd level targets. Powerful in his ability to win against bigger interior players, showing good lower-body explosion to push forward piles in short-yardage situations.

Weaknesses: There’s some tightness in his lower body when asked to cross the face of a defender and move his frame. Lacks the lateral agility and quickness to consistently be used to reach/hook block. Uses his length to bail him out quite a bit when he’s overmatched athletically against 3-technique defensive tackles. Doesn’t always create work for himself when left without an assignment and will be content un-occupied, appearing to have some mental lapses. Could struggle at the next level with his length when leaving his pads up, due to his rare height for the center position.

Best Fit: Center in any scheme

Myers is a stud. He’s an absolute bully in both the run and the passing games. He’s completely maximized his frame out with functional strength. While he’s not an elite-level interior athlete, he’s solid. He rarely gets exposed. He’s smart, long, and strong as an ‘ox.’ 2nd round player.

Creed Humphrey - Oklahoma - 6’5 312 lbs

Strengths: A 3-year starter for the Sooners at center after redshirting his freshman season. Humphrey is a well-built center prospect that has good size for an interior player. Does a great job of easing off the snap of the ball with good initial quickness? Plays with good leverage, despite his size, dropping his pads and maintaining squareness while in pass protection. Very good functional strength throughout his frame allows him to win with power and remain in complete control. He utilizes his heavy hands and length with full extension to stop rushers in their tracks when attempting to rush head-on then perfectly dropping his anchor to sustain. His iron-grip strength in his hands allows him to latch on, rarely losing sustain. Extremely smart and disciplined in his assignments, calling out defensive alignments and properly adjusting the line pre-snap. Leadership qualities are manifest in his continuously pointing to his fellow lineman. Remains patient through reps, rarely getting over his skis. A former wrestler that understands proper angles and technique to win the point of attack and sustain through the duration. In the run game, Humphrey shows good overall athleticism to handle pulls and consistently reach 2nd level defenders. Keeps his lower body engaged through contact, driving with his hip, and pushing forward. Shows good body control and balance when playing in space, keeping a low center of gravity to remain balanced. Makes work for himself when left without an assignment, showing good awareness to assist.

Weaknesses: Humphrey is a left-handed center and will spin the ball in a different direction, which could disrupt a QB’s pattern. Has struggled at times in pass protection against angled fronts against rushers that can quickly cross his face, struggling to cross face and remain in a good position. Overall athleticism is functional but not elite and he will struggle if asked to handle too many zone-blocking types of runs. Lateral mobility isn’t elite and he will occasionally struggle against quicker interior athletes that can get him caught off-balanced. Doesn’t always finish his blocks the way you want him to.

Best Fit: Man-blocking center

Humphrey is a solid player that has a lot of big-game experience. He’s a smart kid that is tough as nails. While he lacks elite athleticism, he possesses enough functional mobility to have success. He’ll be a very good pass protector from Day 1 and a solid 1st level blocker in the run game too. 2nd round player.


Alec Lindstrom - Boston College - 6’4 290 lbs Strengths: The brother of former Boston College 1st round pick from 2019 Chris, Alex is a highly functional interior player as well. Getting his chance as a redshirt sophomore in 2019, Alec hasn’t looked back. Possessing good overall height and length for the position, Lindstrom shows the frame for continued development and weight. Lindstrom is a tough as nails and violent blocker that excels in the running game. Excellent while on the move. Eases out of his stance while showing terrific initial quickness to reach 2nd level blocks, while remaining in control at all times. Possesses the upper-body power to move guys out of the way at the 1st level. Good play recognition abilities in the passing game, quickly reading and reacting to blitzes and stunts. Possesses the power in his lower body to anchor down and hold the point of attack. A very skilled blocker that plays the game with highly refined technical ability, rarely getting beat in any aspect. Remains leveraged at all times, keeping his pads low enough to be able to absorb blocks with ease. If he initially gives up any movement, he quickly shows the ability to re-anchor and recover.

Weaknesses: A bit undersized weight-wise and could stand to gain 10-15 more pounds for the next level to completely fill-out his frame and handle NFL power. Maximizes his overall athleticism but he isn’t a great natural athlete. He could get exposed against quicker 3-techniques that could force him to play in space.

Best Fit: Starting Center

Similarly to his brother, I love Alec. He’s a terrific natural technician that possesses good strength and athleticism. While he isn’t elite in either department, he’s very very good. And he completely maximizes his natural abilities with ‘know-how.’ There’s a very very high floor for this player and he will be a Day 1 starter. 2nd round player.

Michal Menet - Penn State - 6’4 306 lbs

Strengths: A team captain and 4-year starter at center for the Nittany Lions, Menet has been a consistent presence along their offensive line, only missing 1 game since taking over as the starter in his entire college career. Menet is a good-sized prospect that features good width and size for the center position. A highly intelligent blocker that reads things quickly pre-snap while pointing out defensive alignments and communicating with his fellow linemen. Featuring a nasty mean streak, Menet is tough as nails and plays with a violent edge. A well-balanced and functional prospect that has very few flaws on his resume, showing good scheme-versatility to play on any offensive line. Plays like a technician, keeping his pads leveraged and controlling the point of attack. Handles bull rushes nicely by dropping his anchor and staying square. Maintains his balance at all times, rarely getting exposed or getting too aggressive. Good awareness to handle stunts/gains, always keeping his head up and looking for an assignment when he doesn’t have one. Works well on combo blocks with his teammates while then climbing the ladder and reaching 2nd level linebackers to open up holes.

Weaknesses: An older prospect who will be 24 during his rookie season. Playing with power is not something that Menet showcased much. Played in a gap-scheme that made him more responsible for playing with technique while utilizing angles in the run game as opposed to clearing rush lanes. Doesn’t appear to have the greatest length and he will give up his chest plate on occasion to longer defenders. Can get a bit too narrow and allow his pads to rise mid-play. Has improved in his 2nd level abilities during his years, but he still has some work to do to be an ideal fit in a zone-style system. Has a little bit of stiffness in his hips, failing to redirect his frame in the passing game.

Best Fit: Scheme-versatile center

Menet is a really good football player that has very few flaws on his resume. While he’s not an overly powerful center nor an elite athlete, he’s a technically-sound and consistent performer that rarely makes a mistake. 4th round player.

Landon Dickerson - Alabama - 6’6 326 lbs

Strengths: A former 3-year player at Florida State before transferring and playing his final 2 years with the Tide as the starting center. Dickerson is a versatile prospect that has played at RT, RG, and eventually moving to center. Dickerson has rare size for an interior position, showing tremendous length with the frame for continued mass. A smart and disciplined signal-caller that quickly recognizes things pre-snap, calling out signals, and identifying potential pressure areas for the offensive line. Excellent in the run game, Dickerson commits himself to win inside hand leverage while generating powerful torque from his lower body to move his assignment forward. Has a good understanding of playing with proper leverage and angles, utilizing proper positioning to open up 1st level creases for his backs. Tough as nails, Dickerson does a good job of handling bigger interior defenders with his length, controlling their shoulders pads with full extension while keeping his chest plate clear. Shows some recovery strength to re-anchor if initially giving some movement.

Weaknesses: Has had several injury concerns at Florida State, causing him to be granted a medical redshirt. His medical will be very important at the pre-draft workouts. Not too many interior players have his length, which is good and bad. He’s going to have continual leverage concerns, playing with too narrow a base at times, causing him to get caught off balance. Not a great scheme fit for a zone-blocking system as he’s far better in tight areas. Overall movement skills are ‘OK’ but getting him to play in space isn’t his strong suit and he’s far better at the 1st level.

Best Fit: Center in a man-blocking scheme

Dickerson is a positionally-versatile prospect that has the size, strength, and experience playing against top-tier competition. He’s likely best suited to play at center at the next level. He’s an ideal candidate in a man-blocking scheme. 4th round player.

Drew Dalman (played for Carberry at Stanford).

Strengths: A 2.5-year starter for the Cardinals that has started in over 20 consecutive games for Stanford in the middle of their offensive line. While he’s played almost exclusively at center, he started a couple of games at right guard during his sophomore campaign as well. The leader of the Cardinals offensive line, Dalman is a highly-functioning and intelligent lineman and signal-caller. Playing in a power-running attack, Dalman is quick to signal and point out things pre-snap to his teammates. Reacts quickly to blitzes or stunts in pass protection, adjusting the front if he needs to. Fires off the ball in the running game, showing good physicality and toughness to finish plays. Maximizes his frame, playing with terrific tenacity and a nasty mean streak. Utilizes his natural leverage abilities to his advantage, getting underneath the shoulder pads of defenders. A real technician in the way he plays, understanding how to play with angles and leverage.

Weaknesses: Dalman lacks the ideal size and length for the next level. While he’s gained significant size since coming onto campus, Dalman needs to continue to add to his frame without sacrificing much athletic ability. This lack of size and functional power limits him when attempting to handle larger nose tackles and opening up 1st level holes for his packs. While he’s a solid athlete, he isn’t an elite lateral moving athlete and shows some tightness through his lower body when working in space.

Best Fit: Scheme-versatile center

Even though Dalman played mostly in a power-blocking scheme, he’s got enough athleticism that he could be a fit in a zone-style setup as well. If he can continue to gain additional functional strength and mass, he could be a really good starter. 4th round player.

 

[Ram_Rally]

I like BonifayRam’s thought.

Namely trade Ram non-Center OL for another team’s starting Center.

‘This idea has merit, IMO.

May I suggest Hav as our offering?

Omg no lol we can't just start getting rid of multiple pieces on the offensive line

 

[Mojo Ram]

With a 2nd, two 3rds and a 4th the Rams have the ammo to move around and get the Center they want if that's the plan.

 

[simonblaze]

I've always been a Blythe fan. Yea, hes not the best center, but that's not the only position he can play. Very good insurance to have if your starter goes down. Best of luck to the guy.

For all of my criticism of Blythe as a STARTING interior olineman...I really can't think of anyone I would feel more comfortable with coming off the bench...I always thought he was best suited as the next guy up for the interior...

 

[oldnotdead]

It's rare for a rookie center to come in and start. NFL defenses are far more complex than those these guys faced in college. It's why I think Allen is their guy this year. They just got a new QB for a Super Bowl run. I don't see them playing a rookie who could get him hurt with a missed call.

Contrary to popular belief Allen played well in 2019 as a first-year starter. He's had 3 years of film study, and he will probably have as close to a normal offseason as compared to last year. He's a better pass blocker and more mobile than Blythe.

 

[Merlin]

Minnesota would be an interesting (odd) PERFECT destination for Blythe because there would not appear to be a starting opportunity with the Vikings.

FIFY.

 

[Merlin]

I'll bet Minny doesn't pay him starter money either.

We just traded a young QB who took us to the Super Bowl because he wasn't good enough. Did you really think Blythe was going to get paid because PFF convinced people who don't watch film that he can play?

As an experienced swing OG/C and first guy off the bench he will earn his money though.

 

[Merlin]

Good luck to you Austin. And may you have many starts in purple.

BTW where is our board Viking fan when we need him lol.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I find it hard to believe if they want to draft a center, they won't find multiple choices from #57 through #103. Some of these guys might not be fits but that's for McVay and Carberry to decide.

I'm pretty sure there are some others that fit, like Morrissey and Jackson. Also Kendrick Green who has played some center

 

[TexasRam]

It's rare for a rookie center to come in and start. NFL defenses are far more complex than those these guys faced in college. It's why I think Allen is their guy this year. They just got a new QB for a Super Bowl run. I don't see them playing a rookie who could get him hurt with a missed call.

Contrary to popular belief Allen played well in 2019 as a first-year starter. He's had 3 years of film study, and he will probably have as close to a normal offseason as compared to last year. He's a better pass blocker and more mobile than Blythe.

I agree on the rookie starter part. It would be quite a risky venture.

They might go with Allen, I think Mcvay and co. have a serious blind spot regarding the Oline, so i could see Allen as their plan. I think it would be an epic failure. I don't think Allen can physically match up and play at the NFL level.

The plan might also be moving Corbett to center and waiting for a cheap guard to free up, and if not draft him early.

 

[MachS]

While I dont want Blythe to be our starting center next year, I also dont like going into the draft with such a glaring hole that every other team knows exactly who we're drafting at 57. When you are that transparent, every team that needs a center/guard will maneuver around us and trade to get ahead of us. It's a risky risky move. Maybe we still sign Reiter.

 

[Merlin]

I agree they may add a vet. But they are probably letting these guys get used to the reality first. If you call even a depth type like Blythe day one of FA his agent will think he can squeeze you.

And I agree it sucks to have a shitty depth chart like that in the draft. That may cause them to move up for their guy to avoid getting trolled.

Lastly I don't think they go center at 57. The other positions look stronger to me there.

In 2019 who was The Rams backup center ?? Don’t think The Rams might stay put with who they have right now ?

 

[XXXIVwin]

Just BTW... I see no confirmation that Blythe has signed with Vikings (yet).

What if Rams match Vikes offer?

Not even sure what I'm hoping for, at this point...

 

[SeminoleRam]

Just curious! Any chance that the Rams have a plan (A Good Plan?) IF Blythe really does go to the Vikings or any other team?

 

[El Chapo Jr]

I'm calling it, we are drafting Creed at center for our 1st pick. Got that gut feeling

 

[jap]

We're going to be the first NFL team to experiment with no one playing center.

Matt Stafford: "We don't need a farkin' center! I can snap the rock whenever & wherever I want it employing the Vulcan Mind Touch!!! How do you think I execute no look passes!?! I'm a freakin' Vulcan, mates!!!"

 

[tomas]

IMO if the Rams' "plan A" involves either Allen or Shelton, we're screwed.

Would be absolutely shocked if either Allen or Shelton is the opening day starter.

Dunno what the Rams' plan is, but hope it's better

I have a gut feeling it's their (Snead/McVay) plan--Allen or Shelton is the opening day starter.

 

[ReekofRams]

Help Austin Blythe, you’re our only hope. Damn. Help Quinn Meinerz, you’re our only hope. Damn. Help Josh Meyers, you’re our only hope.
