Play him in the ruck 

He would have in days gone by. Big Nick was about his size.

Well, it's no secret that I have concerns about this pick, but he does look like a powerful bugger and a competitive beast.  I just hope they have a plan to work on his explosiveness.  He needs to add a burst of acceleration to his repertoire.

I’m sure it has been covered but did he play VFL games ala Jagga and if so how did he go against the bigger bodies?

Well I'm only half being serious. Jackson is obviously taller, but we had him in there immediately.alongside Gawn and JVR part time in his 2nd

Maybe Langford will be tall, athletic and muscular enough after a pre season or two to offer us that part time ruck/elite follow up role and keep JVR forward. 

Then you've got 4 elite mids in there while Gawn rests 🤷‍♂️

Could be an interesting point of difference for a few centre bounces or around the ground stoppages

I'm not concerned by your concerns. Powerful but not explosive , please explain

Only one of his kicks is marked inside 50. Some of those entries are truly terrible. Like dees level forward entry terrible.

He struggled adjusting to the pace against men early but he hits 4 inside 50 targets in a row in the back half of the clip. Not his fault Samson Ryan can't mark and Sam Davidson drops a soda.

He strikes me as a no nonsense type.

It's simple.  He was fourth last in the 20m sprint rankings at the combine.  That indicates a serious weakness in his game that could have a massive impact on his ability to adjust to the top level.  I've said all along that this worries me, and I stand by that.  I really hope they have a plan to improve his acceleration.
