TAMUC were the D2 champions and this kid was a star for them.  Big difference in play but a few D2 guys have made the transition.  

He is 6' 7" and listed as 280 unless he has put on more weight since the article I was reading.  I would love for a D-2 kid to get his shot.  I think I tend to get excited about any OL addition.  Machorro needs to beef up a bit.

It depends on what those 280 are

The Colts app had himat 6-6, 302.  Putting on weight (muscle) is a lot easier than losing it, as I can attest.  

 

He won won a ton of awards at that level, but Haeg was one of the best FCS OTs, so you can never tell.  

 

I wish him well.

Smonroe said 302....that's a little better :)  Someone can correct me, but I don't think there an OT in the NFL 280 or under.  I bet he is quick on his feet without seeing film on him.

Hard to find information on him, but it seems like he used to be a TE:

Also, here's an article on him:

In 2016, he had a breakout season being named to four All-American teams, two All-Super region teams and first team all-conference. Machorro was essential in helping block for the No. 1 scoring and passing offense in the conference. Not to mention his offensive line allowed the fewest sacks in the conference that season. 2017 is no different. After being voted team captain, he was named the Lone Star Conference Offensive Lineman of the Year and first team all-LSC. Then there’s little known fact: He ranks 11th in the LSC in average punt yardage at 35.5 yards per punt.

Nice!! 

 

Put him in to block on a power formation and then throw a pass to him!

That's the truth.   I have started to lose some of the weight I needed to.  The best way I've found to lose the weight is to stop eating anything I actually enjoy eating.

That's right, If it taste good it's not on a diet menu.

I dropped a little over 65 lbs. in a two year program. The program was don't eat any snack foods, sweets and no soda pop. The only way to lose weight healthy is to burn more calories than you take in. There are no healthy short cuts.

When the doctor informed me I had diabetes and said I would lose weight one of two ways.

1- lose weight through diet and proper eating habits

2- Having one or both of my legs amputated later in life.

Needles to say I wanted to keep my legs.

Another team captain.  CB definitely likes his character guys.

 

I think we'll see far less penalties and false starts this year.  Discipline will be foremost in the minds of a lot of the kids brought in.

Just my opinion.

    • Not really.   There's a theory that Ballard wants to draft an OL high because he said it's important to protect the QB, and Richardson was hurt last year. And the counter was that Richardson's injury/s probably aren't about the level of OL protection, and drafting an OL high wouldn't address that concern.
    • I'm thinking if we can trade to 8 or 9 and draft Odunze , we should do it if the price is reasonable. The value chart shows giving up P 15 and P 46 is the perfect number. Probably won't do it and I would think 2025 2nd for a 2024 4th added to the deal would make it work . That of coarse would depend on Atlanta or Chicago wanting to move to 15 . Obviously , as we all know , it takes 2 to make a trade.
    • I can too. And that will tell us everything we need to know about how the view him. It will tell us their feelings on the tight end room, and what direction they pick from there will tell us even more.    but if they take him at 15, we won’t know much about what might have happened, as they will be landing someone they had rated highly and fell to them. 
    • Glad that’s over…    if I wanted to argue about it, I would have responded far more in depth than pointing out how you were attempting to gaslight me. I did not. Meaning I was ending my part of whatever the argument was. You “putting a finality to it” and then listing bullet points tells me it was the argument you wanted all along, which makes sense why you brought Grigson up in the first place. Bait, hook, gaslight. Almost got me buddy. You are a funny guy, Doug 
    • Putting a finality on an argument you want to have.   There is a theory that Ballard won't draft a OL high because ARs injuries were not caused by a poor oline.  I felt it important to note that since Luck's major injuries were also not caused by his oline, Ballard could still want to improve it like he did in 2018 simply because AR is The Franchise. And its important to point that out because there has been a running (false) narrative for about 9 years that Luck's oline was the (main) reason for his injuries that kept him out of games.  The (false) narrative is based upon, IMO, a detest of Grigson, and not reality about the facts (or strong rumors) behind the kidney laceration and snowboarding shoulder. Therefore, mentioning Grigson and the (false) narrative was germain to the point about Ballard possibly drafting Oline high this draft to protect AR. Mentioning Grigson shouldn't trigger a CB vs RG discussion, unless people reading it are gaslighted by their own reading lens.
