This guy was not good- or prepared--

My top 4 with the best chance to make the roster based on weaknesses in the roster:

CB Wright, Oregon State:  Wright has elite ability as a zone CB.  I think he has the best chance of making the roster based on my low opinion of Taylor and Henderson.  In fact, I think his chances are probably 50% or higher.  Mark my words.  Write that down.  Remember what was stated here.....

OG Nash Jensen, ND State: Corbett will be out, and I firmly believe that they want competition at LG--they have not found a swing T, so I think they prefer Brady Christensen in that role.  I think it is possible that the McCray signing is depth until Corbett returns--so they have Zavala to groom at LG.  I think BC could play LG for a while in 2023, but the plan is to move him beside Ekwonu and play BC as the swing T.  That leaves Mays as the backup C, RG depth, future RG when Corbett leaves.  It makes too much sense....If so Jensen could be added to the roster as G depth.  Remember, they offered Jensen a pretty large free agent contract to get him here.  I guesstimate his chances of making the roster are around 33%. 

DE Redmond, Okahoma: While the DE room looks crowded, Redmon has the ability to unseat a player or two. First, look at the NTs:  Roy (NT) is hardly locked into a spot, and the other 2 NTs are hardly proven.  I have Penisisi as the starter and McCall was undrafted last year.  If either of these players (including Roy) falter, it could necessitate moving Tuttle and or Brown into the NT spot on passing downs.  That could leave a DE depth spot open, and Redmond seems to be highly qualified for that position.  Chance of making the roster?  About 25-30%

OLB Leota, Auburn: Currently, we have literally nothing proven at Strong OLB/Edge.  YGM and rookie Johnson.  While we need a strong OLB on early (running) downs, the Panthers are certain to carry 2 of these players.  Johnson is raw but safe, and YGM is a question mark---could the Panthers shop him?  Stay turned, but the like Leota--had him for a private visit and he was the fastest player (based on the lists being formed after the draft) to sign with the Panthers as an UDFA.  Chance of making the roster?  About 15%.

Others with a legit shot:

  • Peoples, RB  (When healthy, pretty good.  Going to the PS.  Some say, "We need a big back though!"  I say, We have backs that weight 220 and 210 on the roster--
  • Pool, LB  (Special teamer and classic overachiever--probably going to PS, but if a player like Grugier-Hill faulters, Pool would be a nice fill in)
  • Vann, WR/KR  (Special teams could get him a job--gonna be a Cock fight for the #6 WR job--as 3 ex-Gamecocks go for 1 roster spot)
  • Bolden (would have to beat out Franklin, but he could do it)

 

 

 

Thanks. Great summary and evaluation.

I like this vid because you also get to see Bryce. IMO Leota is too slow to be anything more than a 2 down ILB who can blitz but if you skip to 5:51 and let it run it's just soooooo nice to watch them duel and the touchdown pass to tie the game is Stick Around Bob Ross GIF by Originals

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Seriously, this is the exact post that makes me lose my damn mind, because you can't separate Collegiate game from the NFL. You think college stats = NFL projections/ability The college game is littered with MONSTER stats from QB's who never make it past NFL training camps onto a roster.  I'm not saying Sanders is like that of course, but just because him and the offense put up huge numbers, doesn't mean he's a surefire elite NFL prospect. The fact that you can't or refuse to understand that, is why anything you say is severely flawed.  Bash me for my love of T-Mac, but you just can't separate college box score stats from NFL projections, which is just asinine.

      Bryce is starter Sunday per Canales presser

      Did anyone see, I believer it was from Cat crave blog, say Diana Russini is doubling down on her info that Bryce could be traded by the deadline? Maybe him starting is to try and up his trade value?

      Yes, NAU "shut him down" by literally triple teaming him on almost every snap, I don't care how good you are, when you're triple teamed and your QB is playing poorly and behind an OL that gives you all of 2 seconds to make a play, that WR isn't going to do anything that game unless your coaching staff schemes him up to get quick passes, which they didn't.   Our Arizona boards have been losing their poo all season over how bad the staff is using him and their play designs/calls.   And as I've said numerous times, QB's don't get mocked by draft grades, those same experts that had Young and Stroud at the top of those mock drafts also openly admitted they didn't have them graded that high, same as this year's class. Also as I've said numerous times, look at the position label or what they say about Hunter in those mock drafts, they almost all have him listed as CB and/or discuss him as a CB in their breakdown of him, because it's his better side of the ball and where he's more likely to play.
