Interesting to compare a write-up on Noteboom from before the draft, and then Kromer on Noteboom after the preseason.
Before the draft. Just an Online Draft Guru Guy (ODGG).

10. Joseph Noteboom, TCU
An all Big 12 Honorable Mention; Joseph Noteboom came into the combine with little fanfare and left with a lot of people’s eyes open. The 6’5”, 309 pounder showed up with a great NFL frame and tested exceptionally well in Indianapolis. His athleticism is evident on tape, but a lack of power and technique will certainly put a steep learning curve on his NFL adjustment. Noteboom will be a mid round project player who could be a huge “boom” (sorry) for the team that can develop him.
Now here’s Kromer:

“Joe really was productive in the preseason and it started from Day 1. He has the talent, the size, the strength to play early in this league. What he did was adjust some of the techniques he was using, and it made him a lot better as opposed to just a little bit. And it enabled him to play a lot stronger. And that showed up on tape.”
