Recently I read on Espn.com that we are looking at another offensive linemen from Ohio State, his name is Darryl Baldwin. A fifth year redshirt senior played defensive linemen before being switched over to the offensive side. He was a back up to guys like Jack Mewhort until his senior year where he finally got a starting job at right tackle. Baldwin is projected to be a late round pick to UDFA. He is 6'6, 308 pounds which is a pretty good size for a tackle. Heres some Info on the guy since it's hard to find any.

A TON of guys switch positions in college.

 

There's only so many hours in a day and Matsko will already have his hands full re-training Oher, trying to develop Chandler more, and the 3 or 4 rookies he's going to have from the draft and UDFAs. No thanks.

He's had three years of OL training at a program known for churning out good pro linemen.

 

I wouldn't worry too much.

This.  It's not like he just changed positions last offseason.  Three years of OL seasoning at a program like OSU is pretty damn significant.

 

Like I said, this happens a LOT in college.  Guys gain a bunch of weight or there's a big need elsewhere or there's a talent overload at a particular position and guys get moved around.

Sorry I meant to put this thread in the NFL draft forum.

We've already got a converted D-Lineman trying to play O-Tackle. Baldwin will take too long to train for his first team, but might be good for his second team. Let's be his second team instead of his first.

He's going to either be a very late round pick or UDFA. You don't exactly get starting material but rather project players when it comes to UDFA and latter rounds. Sometimes players come into the NFL and have no trouble adjusting so there is always a chance he works out but the kid has good physical traits and has already had 3 years on offense. Add some professional training and he may end up a decent NFL tackle.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By Panthercougar68 · Posted

      As the demand for apartments grows parking is becoming limited and it’s sad. I use to tailgate but I just park at uncc deck now and train in and head to rhino market. My tailgate grill hates me.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      By TD alt · Posted

      It simply depends on perspective. CMC, when healthy and on the field, has a higher YPC and YPR than LT. Yes, he's been injury prone, but this is simply a "all quarter-century team." There are certainly different stats and different lists. If this were a list or about a team simply based on longevity, then of course LT wins that every time, but some lists are more subjective and nuanced depending upon what they are, and it's not necessarily a reflection upon a person's ability to analyze sports.

      From my what I have seen the overwhelming majority of people who are considering the notion a possibility don't really want to see it happen but are considering so for a number of reasons. Most importantly availability. Secondly even when he plays the last few seasons he has been red hot or ice cold. Then there is the subject of his defense which to say the least leaves a lot to be desired. Then there is the image of Ball inactive laughing it up on the sideline (while our team was getting the doors blown off) with previous busts who are now relegated to hanging on by a thread in the g league. I think we should be able to recognize with the team going out of their way to put a very strong emphasis on culture and leadership with the conclusion of this years draft that they expect LaMelo to lead the way this upcoming season and that begins with making significant strides and trending in a positive direction in the aforementioned aspects above. It just has to happen.
