A smart kid... I like the pick.

Barry Richardson is a massive drive blocker, but his teammates viewed him as the "silent giant," letting his play on the field do the talking. A highly intelligent athlete, he graduated from high school after only three years and then took just a little over three years to earn his degree at Clemson.

Richardson earned All-Atlantic Coast Conference first-team honors the last two seasons, become the school's first offensive tackle to repeat those honors Jim Bundren (1996-97).

Thrust into the lineup as a freshman, he started 45-of-49 games in which he appeared for the Tigers. In 2004, he became Clemson's first first-year freshman to start for the course of a season on the offensive line since 1943. He was also the first first-year fresh-man offensive lineman to start more than one game in a season since Joe Bostic (1975).

At Wando High School, Richardson excelled on the football field and in the classroom, as he became the first Clemson signee to ever graduate after three years. He started all three seasons for head coach Bob Hayes. The offensive tackle graded 85% for blocking consistency, as he registered 31 knockdown blocks during his final prep season.

I would not mind seeing some more offensice linemen. They have the best chance to turn into players when drafted in late rounds

Hammock Parties · 04-27-2008, 01:24 PM

We have a huge ****ing line. All these guys are 320 except Niswanger.

McGinatosh is not a RT.

Taylor will be the starter there.

I can't understand this obsession with moving a guy that isn't a physical downhill blocker to RT or guard in this offense.

The Chargers, as bad as their O-Line was a few years ago, couldn't wait to dump him.

He sucks ass on the right side.

CupidStunt · 04-27-2008, 01:25 PM

I'd love DE Gilberry, OC Sullivan, OG Young or DE Johnston.

My guess is we'll see roughly 300 of them coming in as UDFAs.

Richardson also held Mario Williams without a sack when he faced him, he has major talent.

Delano · 04-27-2008, 01:26 PM

182 is the next Chiefs pick.

KCChiefsMan · 04-27-2008, 01:26 PM

Taylor's not supposed to be all that physical either.

Mecca · 04-27-2008, 01:26 PM

It's good to see the NFl agrees with me about Mike Hart not projecting well...
