I know know absolutely nothing about him either. I just read that he can play 3 positions on the line though.

He should be the tallest person on the team in camp.

Jack Breckner is 6'9

There must be something to Grigson wanting tall offensive linemen. Deim was 6 foot 7 and seemed a foot taller than anyone on the line back in the day. These offensive linemen are very tall.

Right, let's get his name right.

You can tell Grigs is thinking about the future and values big guys.

some info .

[mattceinicram]

Looks like he can play guard as well.  He has a chance to give us depth at different positions on the line, not a bad pick imo.  Still wish we would of addressed the secondary.

[BrentMc11]

2 OL candidate choices who are flexible.  Great for injury back-up and PS.

 

We may get a UFA safety.....that we thought were going to be drafted in the 4th or 5th round?????  If not, looks like Grigs is happy with Lynch and Howell to battle it out.

[Warhawk]

Google was all like "Who?"

 

Anyway, here's a mention in an NFL.com article.

His size indicates that he's a tackle to start his career, but he could kick inside.

 

He looks like a P.S player to start his career, but I like the focus to improving the offensive line, starting by getting depth.

Not our fault, ESPN and NFLN reported it as John Ulrick.

Reminds me of Office Space; nada, nada, doesn't matter cause he is nada going to be here anymore.

Nice info

[ScissorMeTimbers]

Would have been a UDFA, not worth a draft pick IMO.

[PrincetonTiger]

It looks he could add some weight to his 6'8 frame

The GSU athletic site has him at 280 pounds

[PrincetonTiger]

Not our fault, ESPN and NFLN reported it as John Ulrick.

I confirmed it on the GSU athletic site

[Psyren]

Hmmmm....a guy from a team that went 0-12 in the Sun Belt.....

Hard to be upset/disappointed about a 7th round pick but it does make incredibly baffled

[ColtsHoosiersBB]

Glad Grigs isn't poo pooing the lines in the draft. If we can get Luck some time in

the pocket and some running lanes to keep our RB's from having to run into

the backside of our linemen, then our offense will be much more efficient.

[wordofmouth]

Would have been a UDFA, not worth a draft pick IMO.

And you know that how?

He was drafted in the middle of the 7th round for crying out loud!

[Smonroe]

Is the guy you wanted picked? He may still be available.

Don't forget, we're going to be the place where the UDFAs will want to go. They have a decent shot of making the team here.

[PrincetonTiger]

No offense just names are something that I am particular

[BlueShoe]

Is anyone going to at least fix the title of the thread so his name is actually correct?

What kind of mickey mouse operation are we running here?

I think PrincetonTiger is going to have a meltdown. ;)

Just when i thought it couldn't get any worse it did, Ulrick has injury concerns and he's undersized. Plenty of secondary players left and we take a injury prone RT.

Well, he could add some bulk, sure, but he's not exactly small.  Same height as Castonzo and about 15 pounds lighter.  I think he can add a little weight without too much of a problem.

[BlueShoe]

So we drafted 2 players (out of 5 picks) that have center experience? Interesting. More proof that TKnight24 doesn't know Jack about the NFL draft.

[rock8591]

That reminds me, one of my coworkers has the name of "Johnson Eugene"...not Eugene Johnson.

 

I guess he was Chinese, given how they say last names first.

[IrishColt22]

I am going to compare him to shipley we lost him for this pick.

What kind of assbackward name is Ulrick John?

Maybe when he was a kid he made an error on a form which asked for 'last name first'...one thing led to another and it ended up on his driver's license, so he decided to just go with it.
