Vikings need at least ONE linemen who plays with real power. I understand the scheme that they are trying to implement, but its possible to have zone blockers with SOME power. Like I said on another post, there's a spectrum of zone blocking players. You don't have to live at the EXTREMES (either movement guys with little power, like Easton and Elfien, or super powered all pros like Larry Allen and Will Shields.). Cody shows movement skills in college and tremendous power as well. His size fits well at right guard where the Vikings have been weak since Berger retired (actually, other than Berger, they have struggled to find talent at that position for MORE than a decade). It's a no brainer....well, maybe not for the Vikings (they've struggled to draft Offensive linemen).....skol...
@@Boss2164 Not trying to be a jerk or start a flame war. I just think too much attention is paid to these combine workouts. I judge a guy by his actual playing record on tape. I agree; he needs to have the strength to stand his ground and block defenders. On the other hand, I wouldn't pass on him based on his bench presses. Just sayin'.

JB Moore
OU did run a lot of inside/inside zone as well their power game.
Ford would be a nice pick for the Vikings?
JB Moore well put and I totally agree. I’ve had the same thoughts.
He can bench 225 lbs at least 35 times
Vikings need Ford or Dillard
19 reps stay away
He won't be paid to do bench presses.
Tremolux Man yea he will be paid to Open up holes and have the endurance to block

Tremolux Man all good bro just a small debate. Remember Peter Konz?
@@Boss2164 Yeah, more important stuff to be concerned about than football. Sorry, don't recall him. I had to Google him. Pretty short career.
