I think we will see this guy sit for a while and bounce between guard and center much like evan boehm... as a center I would have preferred quessenberry from ucla.

but we have a top notch oline coach so we may be surprised by this kid

He's going to have to get stronger, but he has the year for that. Maybe Iupati's replacement.

Biggest issue is he gets pushed off the ball at center. When he played T he didn’t have the footwork to keep up with rush ends. Time will tell but he needs to get stronger.

Meh - I don't see the attraction...

 

[Chainthroer]

Big and played first team at Michigan for four years. Hope the O-line Coach can make him better!

 

[Stout]

If he truly gets pushed off the ball at center, then no thank you. At least we didn't reach for a nobody small school player in the 3rd this year. I'd prefer it if he's a C and not a tweener, but whatever. It's the third round, and after the smash hits we've had so far, I'm okay with this one.

I have doubts about this pick. No idea what this player is good at.

This is as good a job as we could have done in that spot. Nice add.

Kid played out of position because the team needed him to. Better suited for C. Kid’s a leader. We’ll have to wait & see. I like his film.

Versatile & durable are his calling cards. I would argue all the remaining C need to get stronger, Cole was best C on the board at the time, also regarded for a high motor. Don't sleep on MICH OL, they tend to be solid pros.

Poor bench press numbers given the short arms but had a better broad/vertical than Quenton Nelson.

Sports a broad-shouldered, square-ish frame with his weight spread throughout, including over a powerful lower body complete with thick legs, wide hips and a big bubble, all of which helps him generate impressive torque when he keeps his pads low. Very good overall athleticism for a center, showing the initial quickness to quickly climb to the second level, as well as the awareness to anticipate where defenders are headed and beat them to the spot. Looks comfortable in pass protection at tackle and center, alike, showing the lateral agility and balance to shuffle left and right to mirror opponents. Showed good snap to step quickness when asked to play center in 2016 with no errant shotgun snaps viewed. Alert in pass protection, looking for work. Plays with a brawler's mentality which will endear him to offensive line coaches, seeming to revel in the act of providing an initial punch and working hard to knock his opponent off-balance. Is not satisfied with simply blocking his opponent, Cole wants to bury them into the turf, lifting and landing on top of them when he senses his rival off-balance. Remarkably durable, starting all 51 games of his career at Michigan (tying a school record) and showing his competitive spirit by accepting an invitation to play in the Senior Bowl, as well. -- Rob Rang 1/11/2018

Scouts can check a lot of boxes with Cole, whose square frame, nasty playing temperament, and ability to play multiple positions should land him a Day Two selection. Given his lack of ideal length and at least initial issues with leverage during his one season at center, don't be surprised if he ultimately is asked to move yet again in the NFL - this time to guard. Regardless of his final landing spot, Cole looks like a safe bet to be among his club's five best linemen and continuing his streak of starts well into what should be a long NFL career.

No video of it yet, but ol Duecey is one hell of a hype man announcing the pick, made me laugh.

I thought he came off sounding like a clown. Might have been tipsy or something. I thought he was embarrassing

He was. Drunk
