The consensus best OT and top 10 pick if healthy. . Probably will be there at 25..

With the moves we've made this off-season at the OT position (having competition with Oher, Martin, Remmers and Nate throw up in my mouth Chandler) and the advancement in injury technology. .

Would you consider him in the 1st knowing by mid season you could be starting your future 10 year starter at LT?

Just my opinion I wouldn't mind getting our future LT the same way we got Star..

If I KNEW he would be a 10 year starter?  Obviously.  But there are no such guarantees.  He's not a perfect prospect even discounting the injury.  And given the trend of TAMU LTs looking like can't miss prospects and sucking in the NFL so far, I wouldn't want him in the 1st.  In the 2nd?  Sure, worth a gamble.  Not with our first pick though.

Just a question where would you project him to go if he wasn't injured?

Just to do the math..

He got hurt November - December and had his surgery. .

About 8 to 10 months for recovery. .

Training Camp doesn't start until August and with the season starting in September... We can have our future top 10 talent LT playing by game 5 or 6... At worst he sits out most the year and we go with the stop gaps... But you still have a top 10 talent LT on the roster. .

Just my opinion i'm intrigued by this idea...

Ogbuehi was pretty much a consensus first round pick until his injury. If Gettleman believes in him, then who am I to argue? I would be surprised if he is a first round pick though. The only one that I could see drafting him in the first is us, but I would prefer gambling that he would be there in the second and taking a receiver in the first

He started at LT this year and wasn't good at it. He was moved back to RT where he looked more comfortable and played better. Even with no torn ACL in his bowl game, he was dropping to late 1st early 2nd since he couldn't handle LT. Probably drop another round with the ACL tear.

He also showed a great deal of improvement once going back to LT, after playing RT for several games. The A&M coaching staff, asked him to play RT because of an injury to another teammate and didn't want the LG, to be kicked outside and to a different side.

Talent wise, he is worth a 1st.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
