Bowl Game's thread, Draft Prospects

Recommended Posts

Going to go ahead and start one of these.

 

Texas a&m vs OK State on now, no one major for us to keep an eye on in this game 

 

8pm Iowa vs USC- 2 of the top 4 OTs in this draft. (Tristan Wirfs for Iowa, Austin Jackson for USC).  Alaric Jackson, Iowa's LT is expected to be a rd 2-4 guy.  Some feel he is betyer suited at OH.  Iowa has a Monster DE who can play 3-4 DE or 4-3 DE, kind of like Calais Campbell.   AJ Epenesa is projected a top 15 guy.  All 3 of those guys should be considered by us.  USC has a big physical WR who has caught scouts eyes in Michael Pittman Jr (expected to be a mid round pick)

Wirfs- Iowa #74

Austin Jackson- USC  #73

AJ Epenesa #94- Iowa #94

Pittman Jr- USC #6

Alaric Jackson- Iowa #77

 

10pm Washington St vs Airforce: only real note to watch is Anthony Gordon.  This years Gardner Minshew.   Was Minshews backup last.  Like Minshew, Gordon was a backup.  Both similar players and similar talent.  Gordon is a name they expect to get hot after the season like Minshews did

I was watching Jamie Newman as maybe a second or third round prospect.  He had a decent game stats-wise, but the eye-ball test was just...meh.  A good read-option QB, but inconsistent in the passing game.  I thought he had a better deep ball arm too.  Not bad, but not great either.

He's only a redshirt Sophomore, so fully expect him to return to school.

I LOVE the idea of AJ Epenesa on this team dude fits perfectly for a 3-4 DE and hybrid defense like the New England's run.  But we REALLY need OL and DT help.  If we can address at least ome of these in FA. Id look hard at him in the draft.

 

Same time, Really love these 2 Iowa OTs.  Id take Wirfs at 8 in a heartbeat.  And if Alaric Jackson fell to the 3rd id jump all over him.

Wirfs looks legit. The game comes to him so easily that he almost looks lazy out there.

I just wonder if he can play LT. I'm not too excited about the idea of drafting a RT in the top 10. Then again, not having a RT (or an OC who could make in game adjustments) pretty much cost us SB50 so there's that to consider too.

He filled in at LT for a few games this season for Jackson.  He looked natural there and better than Jackson there.  But they moved him back to RT once Jackson came back.  Jackson has been the starter at LT for 3 years to note though, so maybe they feel he (Jackson) is better at LT than anywhere else.  Thus a way to keep their best OL all on the field.

Wirfs can play RT if Little pans out, if he doesn't Wirfs can be a Stud LT.

If Little and Wirfs become the OTs Moton can slide to OG (where everyone projected him coming out of the draft).  Also Moton will be going into the last year of his contract next year.

Honestly, I'd be fine with Wirfs and Moton at OT, figure out who would be better at OG between Little and Daley then have the other be a backup swing OT.

    • This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.
    • That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the faviotes and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destorying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, no many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that denfese took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.   
    • Who cares if he paid for such small benefits out of his own pocket? The NCAA is a joke. They need to be offering such anyway, especially for Uber rides (which actually seems like a good idea).
