Johnny Nix Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 With the season pretty much over, let’s start some draft talk y’all. Any prospects you’ve been intrigued by. Who are you’re can’t miss O-line prospects? Are Billy Price or Mason Cole immediate starters at the next level? What other needs besides O-line should be considered in round 1?

THE DUKE Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 OT's: Trey Adams, Washington; Mike McGlinchey, Notre Dame; Martinas Rankin, Mississippi State; Jamarco Jones, Ohio State; Orlando Brown, Oklahomahttp://walterfootball.com/draft2018OT.php Brown has had some issues in pass protection, but he's a mauler in the run game. I'd love to see him drop to rd 2 where we take him as a RT or a G, but I don't know how likely that is. He seems to be dropping down boards though. C's: Billy Price, Ohio State; Frank Ragnow, Arkansashttp://walterfootball.com/draft2018C.php This site isn't a big fan of Mason Cole, who they say is smaller that what everyone is listing him at. The combine will tell the truth about that. They really like Billy Price though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'd be really happy with Adams in 1 and Price or Ragnow in 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I'm not sure I can get excited about the draft until Marvin is gone. Until then, it'll just be another rookie 1st rounder that doesn't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Btw, I think they need to take about 4 linemen in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we end up in the top 8 or so, grab McGlinchey to play LT or Brown to play RT If we got the LT piece, I would try like h3ll to trade up for Brown as well, including dangling next year's first. I'd dangle McCarron and next year's first or second to the Browns for a pick to nab Orlando. In the second I'd take Price or ragnow. In the third, I'd take a TE and another OT for depth, because I am cutting bait with Cedric and Andre. Hyatt or Ivey would be my targets if they slip.

Johnny Nix Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 So heres my two cents. I think that Mike Brown is not gonna go to the outside to hire unless its Hue. All the assistant coaches will remain the same. Marvin will look for an outside job but if he cant he will get some sort of job within the organization. We will select a OT in round 1 but he will play RT because Ogbeuhi has all the talent in the world. Bodine will get resigned and they will draft a rookie in the 4th-6th round to "compete". I do not see us going heavy on the O-line. I think they will invest a 1st, 4th, and 6th round pick on the o-line and try to sign some terrible free agent past his prime in free agency. I hope I'm wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they do something in free agency (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha) and not just plan on the draft and what we have working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I didn't type out what I meant.. but yea, PA has to be gone too, he has done the worst job on this team of any of the coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander had to be the guy championing Ogbuhi and Fisher that one draft. He was the one who wanted Bodine and stubbornly sticks with him. His hit rate on lineman outside of the top 40 is so spotty, the few who have actually been good after that in his tenure is so low a percentage that you could plausibly chalk those up to luck more so than identifying or developing talent.

And a few that were good never got PT and had to leave for greener pastures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
