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.

      Nussmeier shows all the qualities, but has a really bad game here and there. Sellers is raw, we will see how things play out.

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By frankw · Posted

      Well let's be realistic here. He could have taken one look at Bryce Young on tape and known what he was getting. As JackieLee stated his work with QB's like Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield is a big contributing factor in why he was hired. At the same time we also have to recognize other factors. Seemingly and realistically he was the only one seriously considering the job. And as far as "fixing" Bryce Young goes one entire staff has already gotten the axe over him. Frank Reich was vilified as possibly the worst head coaching hire ever. 2 years later the more we see of Bryce the more it looks like he was the problem. Right now we are at a true crossroads. We cannot just play out the season with Young and be a serious franchise. We have to try and see what we have in the young roster and firmly get some sort of look at Canales offense. At this point Dave Canales needs to earn the right to draft his own QB. So far he has developed bupkis at the most important position. And he and Dan Morgan made the decision to not give Bryce Young one iota of competition for the third year in a row. He cannot claim the cupboards are bare beyond his control.
