Minnesota_husker Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I think Lavonte will greatly help his draft stock at this thing. I think at the end of the day he will be an early 2nd round pick. Quote Link to comment

True2tRA Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I was hoping to see Terrance Moore or maybe Mike Caputo get an invite. Either of these guys could possibly make a roster. A good combine could get them drafted, or at least an early FA offer. Caputo might be a long shot. He is a bit small for NFL pass protection. Mike Caputo is 6 foot 1 275 pounds playing center. In the NFL the average offensive lineman is between 300 and 330 pounds. Most DT's and NT's in the NFL are pushing the 285 to 310 pound mark. If Caputo ever signs a contract for an NFL team I would be shocked. As much as people have bitched about our offensive line and their inabilities to block, I am amazed people around Nebraska are so high on Caputo. I know he's a Nebraska kid and a walk on but as a center, he was responsible for making the calls up front on blocking assignments. Our offensive line has never really been very dominant since Caputo took over, we've been very inconsistent with all the false starts and missed blocking assignments. He clearly struggled recognizing defensive alignments and not only that, he was physically dominated repeatedly in games at Nebraska. The Texas AnM game comes to mind instantly. NT's were very hard for him to deal with. In the NFL it would not be pretty for him. I'm really excited to see one of our young center's on the roster take the spot over and maybe help show some improvement across the offensive line as a whole. Unfortunately, with this coaching staffs baffling decision to not give any other center game time snaps this year, it will probably be a very tough first few games or more before the center gets a real level of comfort out there. But I guess you could pretty much say that across the board for this team........ I would even venture to say Caputo was less than 6'1". I stood next to the guy and I felt like we were the same height, and I'm a shade under 6 foot. I think the most likely starter for next year is Cole Pensick, who is listed as 6'2" 285 pounds on Huskers.com Yea, they list him at that 6 foot 1 but I agree, I've seen the kid and he doesn't look like he's even six foot tall. Pensick is the backup according to the roster, but I don't think he or any other backup center has had any real time snaps have they? Ryne Reeves is supposed to push for time at either center or guard immediately. Whoever it is I don't really care how physically dominant they are nearly as much as I care about thier knowledge of reading defensive lines and linebackers and making the correct calls up front. I don't think our offensive line is to blame for all of our struggles the last four years, but they haven't been mind blowing powerful up there either. It's time to fix that this season.

You think he's better than a longshot? I dunno. Caputo is ranked around 15th to 20th at C in most scouting reports. Like I said above, he's a bit small for what NFL teams are looking for. But if you think he's a sure thing then I respect your opinion. Quote Link to comment
