We have to go tackle in the second round, right?

Walker Little (I think he is way undervalued). Creed Humphrey as the next pick, although reversing that order could be very doable.

 

Of course, with the way we are picking right now, they could take a punter and a highly touted hotdog vendor in the second and third rounds. 

There seems to be a huge difference between their boards and what we would put on our draft boards. Then again, we haven't seen what the coach's overall strategy is. He plays things very, very close to his vest. Hope that doesn't turn out to be that it's because he's in way over his head.

Trying to keep the faith in him.

I wouldn't be mad. 

 

We are a safety away from being a very good defense this season. 

I also dont' think people understand that when this staff brings in FA they really do intend for them to play...and we really did bring in FA OL so they are taking the BPA if OL isn't there we will grab a S...poo isn't hard to fugin understand

Eichenberg is a day 1 plug and play at LT. 

He's just meh

 

 

From the Athletic:

WEAKNESSES: Average athlete by NFL standards...his arm length falls below the threshold for several teams...bad habit of planting his legsand doesn’t always stay accessible with his feet to answer counters...faulty body angles in pass protection...tends to get overaggressive and mistimes his punch, opening rush lanes for defenders...not a strong drive blocker in the run game...struggles to recover after a misstep and committed 14 penalties over his final two seasons in South Bend...doesn’t have proven versatility, playing only left tackle in college.

SUMMARY:A three-year starter at Notre Dame, Eichenberg lined up at left tackle in offensive coordinator Tommy Rees’ scheme. He started every game there the last three seasons (2018-20), following in the footsteps of Mike McGlinchey (2016-17), Ronnie Stanley (2014-15) and Zack Martin (2010-13), all first-rounders in the NFL Draft (if Eichenberg is draftedin the first round, Notre Dame will have started a first-round left tackle in 139 of the last 141 games). Eichenberg is a fundamentally minded blocker and stays centered in his pass-sets, allowing his fierce punch and play demeanor to battle defenders. While he plays under control, his mistakes are usually costly, opening rush lanes and lacking the quickness to easily recover. Overall, Eichenberg does not have the athletic traits or length of past Notre Dame tackles, but he is strong at thepoint of attackwith consistent hands, technique and intelligence. Several NFL teams view him best inside at guard.
