I was pretty under whelmed by our 5th round pick Marshall Newhouse.

However after doing some reading I wonder if we might have found a player, and not only that, but a guy with the attributes to be a LT.

Most OL drafted at the end of round 5 are OG only prospects. But Newhouse has LT measurables:

He played four years at LT.

He has 34 inch arms.

He has the size at 6 4", 320 lbs.

He has the feet. He was the best OL at the Combine in the 3-Cone Drill at 7.40. He came 3rd in the Short Shuttle and 3rd in the 40 yard dash.

He has the smarts. LTs need brains and average the highest Wonderlic after QBs - he got 32.

He has NFL bloodlines. Uncle played FB for the Cowboys, father played college ball at Houston.

Pre draft the guy has been tagged as a definite sleeper pick:

Some say that Marshall Newhouse is the most NFL ready offensive lineman in the draft. I believe it.

Newhouse might project as a tackle in the NFL with his impressive athleticism.

Newhouse's stock is rising as more people see what he can do. At 6-4 and 320, he has 5.0-40 speed and the kind of agility that has some people thinking he could kick out to left tackle.

Steals: Marshall Newhouse/Rd 5 No. 169/Green Bay: Newhouse is a tad short for the offensive tackle position but moves well and blocks with solid fundamentals. He is similar in style and substance to Chad Clifton, the Packers present starter at left tackle.

Bengals message board:
Based on his resume and athletic ability it seems that Marshall Newhouse is underrated. The draft sites I looked at had him all over the board, but by the time draft day gets here I think he will go in the 4th round. It still seems like he will be a great value there.

For those that don't know Newhouse has been the starting LT for one of the most explosive offenses in the nation the last 3 years at TCU. He was good enough to earn All-Conference honors every year he started including First Team in '09. Rivals had him as a 3rd Team All-American in '09 and SI had him as an Honorable mention.

He is big (6'3", 328) but not long like an NFL tackle, so he has been projected as an OG as a pro. However at the East West Shrine Game he impressed scouts and played every position on the O-line except center.

He followed that up with a great showing at the combine where he finished first among O-linemen in the 3-cone drill and third in both the forty yard dash and the short shuttle. he also did 25 Bench reps.

Finally, he has good football genes.. His father played college ball at Houston and his uncle was Robert Newhouse the famous Dallas Cowboy FB.

So where have you guys seen him projected to go in the draft? I think he would be a steal with our 4th round comp pick (131?).

I think any time for Newhouse at LT will come no earlier than next year. Maybe if we hadn't drafted Bulaga, then he starts out at LT.

Personally, I think barring Bluaga being a bust, I doubt Newhouse is mentioned as a LT candidate.

Especially with Lang now being solidified as a RT, Newhouse seems to be best slotted in a G.

OK, so he doesn't beat out Bulaga.

But once Clifton is done we'll need a backup LT otherwise we'll be in the same position as last year.

Man with a little luck I can really see this line being a strength soon, and for a long period of time. We got Bulaga and Lang as our Tackles with Sitton and Spitz as guards, thats some serious young talent right there.
Clifton and Tausch should kill us enough quality time to get these youngins up to speed and ready to dominate for the next 10 years!

We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.

He'll back up LT. Probly put him at RG this year, to take Colledge's job.

A 32 is a pretty good score. However, OTs are smarter than QBs.

According to Paul Zimmerman, OTs average 26, Cs average 25, and QBs average 24.
