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.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
