Mount Cody Weighs in at 370

[Blick]

I could see the Chiefs taking him in the 2nd round. We desperately need a nose tackle and Saban is from the Belichick tree, which means Scott Pioli will have wood for anybody from Alabama.

ESPN did a piece on Sunday Countdown in mid november where they got all the 3-4 NTs together and asked them how much did they actually weigh. I remember the guy with the Pats, just kept saying higher higher, almost to 400lbs.

My point, lot of draft analysts talk out of their asses just to be heard. These guys are right 1 out of a 100x. Their analysis is pure guess work, because you don't know how the player will turn out once he's in a set environment. They said Chad Johnson was going to be a nuisance in the NFL, his interviews were awful and yet, he's had a very successful career and is a valued teammate. Freddie Mitchell of all people was more highly touted that this guy, Fred Ex now shows up at random events to get his face on tv.

Its all a crap-shoot, untill these guys hit the field.

I used to think he looked like an obese black woman. After seeing him shirtless I think it's going to be great seeing the first woman to play in the NFL.

Wilfork has got to be close to 400. That guy can play though.

So in your opinion the best offensive linemen's played what in college? Tight end? Fullback? receiver? corner back?

Your logic would tell me that college secondary players are the only great nfl players?

WTF are you talking about? Stop being a retard.

But since you brought up offensive linemen, I'd say that Mike Williams of Texas is the equivalent to Shaun Cody.

My favorite is when he said that he's the third or fourth best DT in the draft but can see him goin in the first round!!! LOL........are there 50 picks in the first round that I don't know off........LOL

There can easily be as many as 5 DTs taken in the first round. DT is one of the most important positions on defense and teams historically will take them early.

NFLdraftcountdown currently has 6 DTs drafted in the first round in their mock. Ive valued their analysis over the years more than mayock and kiper.

He reminds me of Shaun Rogers a bit.

The whole 3-4 vs 4-3 thing is overblown. There's no reason he can't be a 4-3 nose tackle. Play him as a tilt nose tackle and let him slam into the side of the center all game.

I can see him slipping on draft day (ala Rogers) and ending up as a late 2nd/early 3rd type of player. Somewhere where his contract won't be a liability if he busts.

you mean for 15-20 plays.

I wonder what gave away the fact that it wasn't a "clean" 370 pounds? Probably not the tits bigger than Pamela Anderson.

 

[Nukleopatra]

Are those stretch marks on his body?

lmao

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Not certain if any team personnel man that attended the event thought they'd see something different with Cody.

Before Cody got to 'Bama he was well over 400 pounds, and it wasn't a nice well over 400 pounds...dude lost a lot of weight at 'Bama, got down to 345 at one point.

He is a big space eating nose tackle, moreover the weight and the physique (Andre Smith's physique wasn't too much better than Cody's), he needs to work on his conditioning.

In a league that had Keith Traylor and Ted Washington stick around for a decade a piece and has Vince Wilfork as one of the leagues best nose tackles and Shaun Rogers, while inconsistent has been solid, there is a place for Cody in the NFL, but he needs to get conditioned to play more plays in the NFL, he has the skill set.

He needs to look at Mike Williams and Aaron Gibson and learn what NOT to do when you get to the NFL, which eat yourself out of the league. He'll have the very best strength and conditioning money can buy once he gets to the NFL. I've spoken to Cody before, and he is a kid that definitely wants to be good, but the weight issue is one that has been around him for a long time.

I'm cautiously optimistic with Cody in the NFL.

He'll probably drop a little bit on draft day, like a Rogers, IMO.

I've posted on their forums for 5 years. Scott Wright really isn't an insider by any means.

I think he's not going to do much in the NFL. I don't have any empirical evidence, but I think that guys who are big in college can become fat in the NFL as they get older and still be effective (like a Ted Washington or Keith Traylor). I think guys who are already fat in college don't have success in the NFL. Either they just get fatter and suck (William Perry) or their bodies break down right away (Gilbert Brown).

Most cases end up with the fat guy getting fatter with money...a lot depends on their discipline and their dedication to getting more conditioned for the game.

They can be fat as hell, but there is a point of no return...guys like Mike Williams, Aaron Gibson and others suffered from that...while guys like Washington, Traylor, Wilfork, etc. don't and succeed in the league and are valued because of it.

Now I know where I've seen your SN before you came here.

Scott isn't an insider, and I don't know if he ever claimed to be...he is just another draftnik with his own site, but out of the mounds of shit out there, his tends to be, at least of the best work out there.

There really isn't an "insider" when it comes to the draft, either.
