Soooooo......

I tend to subscribe to the big men from big schools mode of thinking, but this is a good argument.  I think it just boils down to you're more likely to miss when you draft linemen from smaller schools.  Not to say it's impossible to hit though, your above examples are evidence of that.

Just for a quick check, I looked at the 2019 Pro Bowl roster. 

OL from P5 schools and Notre Dame: 17

OL from other schools: 6

 

I guess that does check out pretty well.

That’s actually a bit more than I’d expect. You have to assume that the best high school prospects go to P5 and Norte Dame so they fact that 25% of the pro-bowlers come from outside that says good things about the top guys from the smaller schools. How many combine OL were from P5 and ND? If it’s more than 75% then  it would seem you have a better hit rate on outside of that.

 Anyway, it’s pretty much a get the right guy at the end of the day. Moton is one of the top of not the top tackle from the 2017 class and he was the 5th tackle taken in a weak tackle class.

Well, bigger schools get the better talent and better talent usually has higher odds of being NFL players. Those stats are probably going to hold up pretty well across the board at just about every position. But, smaller schools get and develop some good talent, as well. You can't discount the smaller school guys but the value of being at a football factory school is evident every NFL draft.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By SOJA · Posted

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
