I'm not a fan of Whitehair
At the combine, that was illustrated when Whitehair put up the lowest bench press total of any offensive lineman (16 reps)
Weakness for an NFL guard is not a good thing.

True, but bench pressing only measure one form of strength. Core strength is more important. Whitehair could be a valuable swing player while he gains strength?

Whitehair would be interesting for us. He took snaps at center. Good player

I'm hoping for bell or billings, I think we need tackles more so than guards.

He's the best guard out there. Zimmer will have him spending some extra time in the weight room. Even as he is now, hes as good as what we have playing.

Yeah reminds me of that Stanford guy we took in the 5th several years ago...can't remember his name but the VMB thought he was the SOD and he never amounted to anything because he was too weak.

Seeing Tweets wanting us to take Bell. I didn't study him closely. Anyone have thoughts on him?

Yankey was a weak guard. He just couldn't handle the power of defensive players in the NFL. Maybe the same with White hair.

Maybe the best guard, but I don't think the best player. This would be a reach pick IMHO.
