Ok, so amid the fervor of the 1st round maelstrom we haven't talked too much yet on later guys. 1 guy who I could not have picked out of a crowd before has become "my guy", and I am not alone in this. Quinn Meinerz stole the show at the Senior Bowl not just with his personality but with a dominant performance. Like most people I first heard of him through his now famous "Canada Workout" video. I really liked his commitment and personal drive.
The more I read about him, and interviews with him, the more I became convinced that this is the kind of guy you build your O-line's identity around. Relentless, tough, hard working, and glad to be busting ass. The few knocks I had seen were his athleticism and level of competition.
Well, he answered the level of competition question at the senior bowl, and his work out answered the athleticism question. According the RAS metrics Quinn Meinerz has the 6th highest athletic grade. Not 6th highest for Guards/Centers but for everyone so far this year. Higher than Jamin Davis, Jayson Oweh, and Ja'Marr Chase.

From what I have read his projected selection is between the 80th and 105th pick. I had previously joked about taking him with our 2nd but hopefully it looks like he could be had with our 3rd. I have a suspicion if the Bengals want him they may have to trade up into the bottom of the 2nd just to be sure as Miami has been linked to him

Fueled by satanism, violence, and sodomy, dinosaurs had little chance to survive as a species.
