My wife's nephew, Taylor Moton is an offensive tackle that was drafted in the second round last year by the Carolina Panthers. He's 6'5" and now 310 pounds and he's not all muscle either. You're not going to find many "6 packs" on offensive linemen. Not saying Parker couldn't use more muscle but the NFL is more interested in what weight you can lift and how fast you can move that weight rather than what you look like with your shirt off. heck, i wasn't really looking at his stomach. i was looking more so at his shoulders, arms, and forearms. i expected to see a little more definition than that. but the stomach is important too. your stomach "transfers" power from your legs to your upper body. if your stomach is as soft as a "sponge", very little power (if any) is transferred from the lower body to the upper body. but if the stomach is "rock hard" (like a 6 pack), the power from your lower body is easily transferred to your upper body whenever you use your legs. for example, when you run block, you need to "drive" the defender where you want him to go. you use your legs to give you the power to "drive" a defender left, right, or backwards and the power from your legs will transfer power to your upper body "if" your stomach is strong. if not, you don't get nearly as much power transfer from your legs... Looking at most of the athletic OLs in the league, they aren't super defined physically because they aren't carrying permanent weight. Seeing guys like Jordan Gross, Jeff Saturday and Nick Hardwick make undergo significant weight loss after their playing days is an example of that. And none of those guys were rock hard physiques by any stretch. Most men lose muscle mass as they get older. But creating too much muscle mass can make it harder for some body types to lose it down the line. You see some guys lose the weight... and some guys gain too much after their playing days are over. It's pretty clear that Brandon is the former. I just want to see his nutrition pattern continue to be such that he stays that way once his playing days are over and can drop the unnecessary weight when it's time. But that has to be part of the game plan from the start. "Begin with the end in mind."

I knew he’d go high. Kiper can eat a dingaling though calling him inconsistent. How a nicca that ain’t never give up a sack inconsistent? Question the competition level. Don’t go making up something because you was surprised by the pick.

Don’t go making up something because you was surprised by the pick. Mel Kiper doesn't know his azz from a hole in the ground. Wasted space. Please keep telling us how good Jimmy Clausen is going to be as a top NFL QB. You said you would quit if he didn't become a superstar in eight years back in 2010. Why are you still on TV?

OT Brandon Parker 6'8" 305 lbs North Carolina A&T
Pre-Draft Analysis Parker, a four-year starter at left tackle, has the ability to bury defenders, but his inconsistency and technique are concerns. He's a developmental prospect with a high ceiling who could be an excellent value pick if he reaches his potential.
Post-Draft Analysis The Raiders have a young QB to protect. Donald Penn is 35, and fellow rookie Kolton Miller could be asked to start at right tackle right away, so the addition of Parker is useful depth. Parker has the frame of a future left tackle but faces a huge leap in competition and will have to be more consistent. Tom Cable gets a raw talent to coach up. -- Chris SprowFrom CBS Sports: www.espn.com/nfl/draft/rounds

Congratulations "Big Stuff!"
