Solidify your oline for years, can backup either tackle, I think he can start at RT, and Tour mentioned it's said he can also play center. Helps all the "skill players' on offense... keeps the offense on the field, helps the defense. You probably helped you defense with the first pick, so... build from the inside, at the los.

Tour2ma Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 At 6'4 with 32-1/4" arms, I don't think he's built for the outside at the NFL level. I don't think Lamp lasts until #33. But I also do not believe he is worth the #12. If we are in a trade down mood after seeing who is around at #12, then I see no reason to not move down to 20 or so and tab him there. I still like Dion Dawkins, who at 6'4 with 35" arms is a true OG/OT prospect, as the better value pick in the 2nd round, but could certainly live with Lamp around #20, if there are no better options.

calfoxwc Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 No singing, unless I get my guitar out and do "Ghost Riders in the Sky"..... usually just talking to friends. Singing disturbs the crickets and the owls. https://youtu.be/2cmCjFJvYKA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyceRolls Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'd still prefer to see what Coleman can do at RT, and pick up a day three prospect. Between Thomas, Bitonio, Greco, Drango, Coleman, Paztor, Reiter, Fabiano, etc. etc. the Brown's should be able to field a decent O line without burning a 1st rd pick.

Louisville Slugger Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Spending a high pick on a guard is crazy. I know Zack Martin worked out, but if you miss on a interior lineman with a top 15 pick you look really foolish. Guards can be found as a udfa. Lets use those early picks to try and find impact players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 yes, but he also can play tackie, and it's said, per Tour, he can also fill in at center. Those guys are very, very tough to find later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 http://247sports.com/Bolt/Vikings-meet-with-OTG-Forrest-Lamp-51599311 Capable of playing offensive tackle and guard, Lamp has been intriguing teams across the NFL with his versatility and strong play during his time at Western Kentucky. While Lamp played the majority of his playing time in college came at the tackle position, many scouts believe he could develop in to an excellent starter at the guard position, something the Vikings are in desperate need of. The Vikings have been busy meeting with prospects at the NFL Combine, having met with Alvin Kamara, Samaje Perine, Brad Kaaya and Damien Mama prior to their meeting with Lamp.

calfoxwc Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 the squealers drafted decastro with the 24th overall... the Browns could trade down a bit, get another second round pick, and still get Lamp. Like it was noted, Fisher was drafted #1 overall, it isn't all that far-fetched. Let the lamp light shine on the possiblilties.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Thomas, Bitonio, Greco, Drango, Coleman, Paztor, Reiter, Fabiano, etc. etc. the Brown's should be able to field a decent O line without burning a 1st rd pick. Agree and disagree... Coleman at RT? Yes... I've been there longer than anyone. Paz? If he moves on, then we have a hole so much depends on him. Day 3? No... There's enough skilled talent in this draft that the best OL are getting squeezed towards Day 2, but there is also a lack of OL talent in this draft... both of elite, top-ten talent and strong Day 3 prospects. Lamp is as good as I have seen in this class and at best I see him at the cusp of Rounds 1 and 2. The only Day 3 "quality" I've seen so far is UK's Jon Toth. Bottom line: Day 2 is the OL hunting ground this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I have an idea, though, about the second round. Two players have drawn my attention: Obi Wan Kanobi Molifornu? Everybody is noticing this kid. I've been watching him before the combine, and he is rocking the combine. 44" leap? seriously? I kept replaying that... amazing. 4.43 first run, 4.40 second run... the other cb besides Conley that I'm amazed at... is Fabian Moreau. He's supposed to be there in the 3rd round. So, with the other second round pick... probably the first one....Davis Webb, qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go with a SS in FA, I expect us to go for Williams or Baker in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottom line: Day 2 is the OL hunting ground this draft. I wasn't being literal. the main point is, let's not draft OL at 12...middle of rd 2, top of rd 3; if the value is there let's party. Actually, the Browns have a decent track record in recent years with 2nd Round ol: Bitonio, Schwartz...who knows maybe they will continue the trend this year.

calfoxwc Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 trouble is, Lamp has been compared to Bitonio, but it's a weak draft for tackles, and Bitonio was pick 35, probably no chance of Lamp falling our of the first. We'll see. But if he did.... trouble is, it's a cb deep draft, and #33 was my cb slot, if not at #12. crazy draft. This is going to be a riot.
