Here's a guy I would be happy to get late round 3 or in round 4. Fits the zone system. Can play Guard but is versatile inside.
Great write-up on him

And a good quote describing the ZBS:

All that I can comment on is what I saw of him at the combine, and he looked like a darned good athlete there.Claymore95 and Bpk like this.

Higher than Earl Warford or Watford (I forget which) and Winters?
-
My favorite mid round linemen are Fragel and Schwenke
-
Yes higher than them. I have Hugh Thornton higher than Winters, btw.
Fragel Rock reminds me of Vollmer in some ways but slower. I question whether he can play in this system. You can't get by at this level just because it's a 50 dollar cab ride just to get around your frame. -
I felt like Fragel moved adequately, though not impressively. And executed a variety of style of blocks with good technique.
Haven't watched Thornton. I'm pissed I ran out of time to watch like 50 more prospects. The Arkansas runningbacks (both) for example. -
You're right, he's definitely competent. He's not a bad prospect at all. Not necessarily on my target board (mostly on account of system) but he's an adequate prospect which is something I can only say about MAYBE half the prospects that will get drafted. Or at least it's an opinion I'll share with the NFL on maybe half of them.

This. Surprisingly athletic for his build, and I could see him making a very good Guard in the NFL.Bpk likes this.
