DT is a need going forward and maybe an immediate need depending on whether or not we re-sign Maliek Collins or another DT. It's possible, however, that they use the #1 on a WR IF the right guy is available. I like to watch various mock drafts. Some of them are projecting us to take an IOL with our #1 but I don't think that's going to happen this year as they likely will want to give Scruggs and Patterson their sophomore years (so to speak) to prove themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good fit next to Will Anderson, who is similar in those traits. I'm going to watch a bit more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the power of NIL. He ultimately understands he's NOT a 1st round guy, so he's banking on another year (a year without a stacked WR class and with better QB play) to get him into that 1st round. NIL money makes this an easier decision. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

College football is such a mess. the 12 team playoff will help, but money has become more important to college football than anything else. It has led to crazy conference merging. It is the sole reason Florida State was not in the playoffs. I will never be convinced that FSU's defense couldn't have shut down that Michigan offense. Michigan still wins, but they win something like 20-13 or 17-10 in a close game. That's what should have happened, but the dollar got in the way and they needed the SEC in the playoffs. As for Egbuka, this could help our chances of landing him. If Nico gets out of our price range, we could be looking for a replacement in next years draft in the 1st round and Egbuka could be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It speaks to the culture of that program, although I was sort of hoping he might come out in order to deepen the WR class in case we want to take one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State will probably be ranked preseason #1. I'm amazed at all of the NFL talent returning to Columbus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy_Flow Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Beating Cleveland was huge in another way - our draft pick will be higher! It will be no worse than 24. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy_Flow Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 (edited) I presume that Dallas losing is also good for our position in the 24' draft as Green Bay would have had a higher pick than Cleveland (our's) but Dallas will not. Our pick that's going to Arizona will also be lower and so I'm thinking that our pick should NOW be no worse than #22 rather than #24. A Rams win tonight would move us to no worse than #21.

Texansfan713 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Due to Dallas losing, its currently 23. Rooting for Lions (doubt it) and Eagles to lose now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrisaw is one of the best T in football and Addison looked good as a rookie, Engram had to find a home in Jacksonville for it to work out for him... Not that this really means anything, but this list is bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
