Any thoughts on who the Reds might take in the draft this Sunday? I’m thinking college bat and specifically Drew Gilbert.

I didn't put much stock in the Senior Bowl tape. I did watch NIU vs Minnesota amongst other games and I just honestly don't see a first round prospect. I think if you're drafting him high, you're gambling on the athleticism and measurable. I do think his run blocking tape is fairly sound though

Can someone sell me on Penning? None of this looks good to me. Hand placement is late and terrible (outside). Gives up his chest way too easy. I don't see elite feet or movement skill. Gives up the outside edge too easily. Not a natural bender whatsoever. Base is way too wide in his stance. As a Chargers fan, we seem to keep seeing his name with us, I wanna like him but I just can't get there with this dude

Troy Anderson LB gives me Urlacher vibes. Raw but when he puts it together….

It’s football, guys get hurt and that’s a physical violent position. Mack has less of an injury history than Bosa or Derwin and we’re gonna drop the bag on both of those guys. Sure, he’s on the wrong side of 30. But he’s 30 going on 31 into the season. I’d suspect he can stay very productive for his 31,32, and 33 year old seasons. After that, I’d start to worry.

It’s a luxury the Chargers can afford for this year. I wouldn’t expect them to invest that kind of money in WR long term. The team has an out in Keenan’s deal after this (2022) season plus he’ll be 31 at that point. Knowing how the Chargers have dealt with past players over 30 (LT, Seau, Weddle etc etc) and their reluctance to hand out 3rd contracts, I think this could be Keenan’s last year as a Charger

To my knowledge, Sewell came to Oregon as a guard recruit and then went to left tackle. I think he has @20 games at left tackle under his belt, so there’s definitely some rawness to his game. I think he plays the game like a guard still at times. I don’t think he’s the nimblest with his footwork, he gets out over his skis at times, and his aggressive nature can be used against him particularly on inside counters. He also has length concerns. I’ve heard wild comps with Sewell to guys like Jonathan Ogden, I think that’s crazy. I’m willing to bet if he starts at LT day one, he’ll struggle his first year. That being said, he’s only 20 with a lot of tools to work with. Worst case scenario, he doesn’t cut it outside and I think you have an all pro guard, but obviously I’d let him fail on the outside first.

What am I missing with Tryon? I’ve watched this guy and I just don’t see it. I don’t see the ability to bend, the get off or explosion. I really haven’t seen much in the way of pass rush moves either. Keep hearing top 50 hype on him and I think he’s a day 3 guy

Outstanding job!

I took it as over/under the literal number. Like Sewell over 5.5 meaning he’d get drafted anytime after 6. And Chase being drafted before 7

The two that stand out to me are Chase 6.5 Under Sewell 5.5 Over

No offense taken. I’ll stand by what I said, I’ve definitely been wrong many times before.

I’ve seen plenty of guys roast college defenses and bust in the NFL. By that logic, Tavon Austin should be on his way to Canton in a few years. The measurables are taken for a reason. I’m excited to see him in the NFL, I hope he tears it up. But if he does he’s gonna be an outlier, I just think it’s gonna be hard for an NFL GM to sink a top 10 pick into an outlier.
