OU has a few offensive lineman expected to go in the early to mid rounds. I like Ben Powers A LOT at OG. We could snag him in the 4th or 3rd. Would make a perfect LG.

I'd love this! I just posted in another thread how I believe LG is a huge need for us and would love to grab a LG in the 3rd or fourth and use our top picks on DE and/or OT

Here is an exerpt from thedraftnetwork.com on Cody Ford: 

Basically the guy is a run mauler with athletic ability and can play both Guard and Tackle. That is a Hurney staple for o lineman that they are multifunctional, see Travelle Wharton and Ryan Kalil (played guard early). 

 

I would not be suprised at all if he is our pick at 16 next year.

Ford's tape is among the best and most fun of the 2019 offensive line class, as he shows everything from high-end promise to unbelievably physical finishes. The muscle of the Oklahoma offensive line, Ford has just one year as a full-time starter under his belt, but already his mental processing and technique are pretty impressive. He's a mauler at the point of attack, while also possessing the athleticism to get out in space and the agility in pass protection to shut down all types of rushers.

There is no question that right now his physical and athletic gifts are superior to his polish, but Ford has the traits to be a top-tier player in the NFL. He needs refinement and proper coaching, preferably at tackle first and then moving to guard if he consistently struggles on the outside. Ford's ceiling may be higher at guard, but his value could be greater at tackle if he hits. The redshirt junior should be one of the biggest risers of the pre-draft process and has a legitimate shot to be a first round pick.

Sounds a lot like what Hurney  liked about Otah( not saying he’s at all the same just that hurney seems to like a mauler at RT)a guy like that would give our line some nastiness back. I think no matter what Ron’s said so far we shouldn’t just assume that Moton isn’t being eyed for LT.  Matsko is one coach on this team i have a lot of faith in

Probably Cody Ford Round 1 OT

But other notable candidates Hollywood Brown Round 2-4 WR

Dru Samia - IOL

Ben Powers- IOL 

Bobby Evans- T

I had looked at both Samia and Powers as good day 3 guard picks. I honestly don't know anything about Evans except what I read on Waltersfootball, which is that he was their starting LT and projects as a LG in the NFL. Either of the 3 could be an upgrade over Van Roten.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
