Want to evaluating an NFL player, you not only look at his competition but also how he performed against said competition and also is body skills and his talents. From a small school perspective, I want a player to dominate his opponent or if in a skilled position have overwhelming stats.
Example: Harold Fannin Bowling Green or Charles Grant William and Mary.

Yeah, Fannin dogged the Aggies and had a good game vs Penn St
 
Only about 48 hrs out from round 1 I'm still not feeling it, so I want that wiry little gumba to
go in there to GB like he did 2 years ago in KC and flash those big nutz and take over the Draft.
Make it happen Nicko !

Wish he was and Caserio drafted him though.

I would love to see DJ in a Texans uniform.
I have a feeling KB is going to come within range around 20-22 and NC might pull the trigger and go get him.
I can smell it.
Not trying to toot my own trumpet here but I had a very strong feeling that Nick would go after WA as well - I'm getting the same vibes with Banks

I think "Nicko" is already used by a player on the team. :winky:

I would definitely give up 1-25 and a 2026 2nd for Conerly. I might even give up a 2026 1st to move into the top 15 for him. I like him that much and if he can play LG that would be optimal. He definitely has the feet to be able to pull and can hit his targets on the 2nd level. He's a big dude, so he should be able to atleast hold up against power when it comes to bull rushes. Last yrs LG play has everybody around here traumatized.

Connerly will be there when they draft. I don't think we would be having this discussion had the signed Becton or James Daniels for the pennies they got. I mean Daniels got 3yrs 24m and Becton got 10m per. That's basically the same price as Autry and the dt who came back.

I wanted Mekhi Becton also.
Would have eased a lot of pressure on the Oline drafting philosophy

Welcome to the fan club party of two.

Thst said, while I don’t think Banks makes it to 25, if he does and they stay put, I’ve got Banks > Booker > Egbuka > D Jackson > Golden in that order. That’s if all of those guys are sitting there…very unlikely.

No Conerly for me. Not at 25. And definitely no Simmons. I’d add Loveland but I just see no path for him to get to 25 and they aren’t trading up for a TE. I think the only guys they might trade up for are Banks and Booker.
 
Two days until the draft. Tricky Nick hopefully has a plan that includes fixing that ******* offensive line. I am going to be majorly pissed if they don't take an olineman with their first or second pick.

Amen
 
Is Irv Smith Jr project over? Is it to late to try to tap the upside he showed at Alabama? I mean he was was 44 for 710 and 7tds his last year. That's better that Loveland whom everyone wants as a te. Why haven't the OJ Howard and Irv Smith Jr types worked out?

In the late, late rounds I will be pounding the table for Jackson Hawes, TE, Georgia Tech. Easily the best blocker in this TE class and can be a safety valve for CJ. Probably not going to be a YAC guy, but he'll open up the running game

I'm actually starting to see Hawes' name across multiple forums, so I hope they don't wait until it's to late. Last year I 'mocked' Tip Reiman in the 4th and noted that I thought it was an overdraft... Turns out that the Cardinals drafted him in the 3rd and he had a heck of a year.

Reiman was a much better athlete.

Irv is over, injuries contributed to him not working out.

Agreed, but I was just using him as an example that low ranked players can get a bump if they do one particular thing very well. Reiman was ranked as a late 5th rounder when I put that mock together, so for him to jump 2 rounds is the point I was trying to make. I've seen mocks that have Hawes as a UDFA, and I can nearly guarantee that won't be the case.

Totally agree with this post and it fits into my philosophy, of if you like a guy take him a rd early rather than sitting there hoping he falls to you. If you have to trade up to get the 3-4 guys you really like then do it.

I've always been a sit and pick guy unless you can find a real difference maker in rd 1. This yr the guys I would make a slight trade up for 7-8 spots are Loveland/Banks/Conerly/and a smaller trade up for Jackson.

Luckily, I think Caserio agrees with both of us.
