At best, I think he can land in the top half of LTs next year, but he needs to work on technique and especially on cutting down penalties. He had more than a few killers this year which is just not acceptable. If he gets to the Top 5 LT point, I'll happily eat crow, but I don't think he's better than Ramczyk (who I was wrong on based on this year) so we'll see. If we sign Cousins, I am with you on trading down, and I'm not typically a huge fan of trading down. It may be unrealistic, but a scenario in which we trade #5 for Buffalo's 2 firsts and either a first or second next year is not unrealistic considering team needs across the board. We would be in a tremendous position to restock the team with younger talent (especially if we got 3 firsts). Yea I don't see top 5 but if he can be a top half the league LT I'll take that all day. We shouldn't expect anything from any QB (drafted or free agent until) we can protect them. A leap from Bolles and we're halfway there, now find a RT. Also, just saw on PFF that Ramczyk was awesome this year, no one should be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKRNA Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 So, who's watched Ohio State the most this year? Billy Price is real interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs some fundamentals cleaned up, but 6’5” 300 pounders with his athleticism, length, and toughness don’t grow on trees. Bolles while older, was definitely the most raw of the top OT prospects. Hopefully a full offseason and some experience leads to an improved year, and Bolles wasn’t awful last year either. I fully expect him to improve considering how raw he was.

Eh, this is a pretty weak argument. He held because he was getting beat by guys faster than him and his technique turned sloppy sometimes. Other times he was just throwing dudes to the ground. I don't mind the second one, we need some nastiness, but you gotta be smarter about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad QB play and a lot of third and longs throughout the season, next to a weak LG. He struggled with penalties because he would get beat, but I'm excited to see what he can do with improvement at the positions around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do believe having a better QB and a better LG would improve his chances in committing less penalties and playing better. I hope he makes that jump.

Right now he's way too impatient in pass pro and has pretty awful technique. He causes his own problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Has anyone heard of Jordan Wilkins from ole miss a guy brought him up in the nfl draft rb forum. There's a video too. I know we hear it every year but he looks like a leveon bell shady mccoy clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Anyone know anything about Mike White qb from western Kentucky? He was a 5 year player 3 year starter. I believe he's pro ready. He does most of his damage horizontally but will test teams vertically. Any thoughts on what round he goes? Wouldn't mind seeing him on the roster at some compacity. Seems like a New England guy. Him or Falk will be a Patriot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAngryAmerican Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 With the news coming down yesterday that we will get a third round compensatory pick, which should have come as no surprise to anyone, the draft order was finally finalized. We will have the 5, 40, 71, 99, 106, 109, 142, 163, 183 and 225. Six picks in the top 110 is nice to have. We have a real chance this offseason to restock the roster with some talent on cheap rookie contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
