Don't forget Daniel Faalele. Super intriguing prospect. 6'9" 400 pounds is insane. Very raw former Australian rugby player but the physical talent is undeniable.

Jeez that guy is huge! Don't know if he can make it as a tackle, but man, put him at left guard and just let him eat up space and punish DTs in the run game.

It's gonna be really interesting to watch. A lot of NFL teams are going to be very nervous about both his newness to football and lack of comparables. I mean, the NFL is a league of freakishly huge humans but this dude takes that to a new level.

If he were to be able to perform at the Efe Obada level, then you could call it a success and a major bonus to the line. Honestly, if he was still sitting out there in the third round you'd be crazy not to take him. If nothing else, just to make him play nose tackle on Special Teams. That wingspan would take out any 50+ yard attempt.

The biggest difference is that OL don't rotate. You don't have situational and/or rotational OL. You just have starters and reserves

Slater is easily the second best guy here after Sewell

If you're boom or bust and Hurney drafts you in the 2nd, it's over. That's a wrap for your career 

It is like the Don kissing you on the cheek.  Get your affairs in order.

I have heard this, and I have seen him as a G--not sure why.

Darrisaw will go in the 1st

Walker Little may be around with our pick in the 3rd, but dont think I want him playing LT for us.  Some in the scouting community feel like he may transition to OG.

 

 

Other guys who I think who I see as guys who will be on range for our 2nd pick.

Jalen Mayfield (Michigan)

Alex Leatherwood (Alabama)

Liam Eichenberg (Notre Dame)

Daniel Faalele (Minnesota)

Jackson Carman (Clemson)

 

Also, I wouldnt be so locked that we Draft a OT rd 2 just because we went QB rd 1.   Id expect that QB to sit next year behind Teddy reguardless.  This makes it easier to go BPA among out high needs list.

The left side of the OL:  Paradis, Reed, Faalele.

Funny how your opinion changes based on the sites that you tend to visit---

I see Walker Little as a late first, early second.  His soph film is solid---not sure what others are seeing about G.

I have seen Darrisaw in the middle of round 1, but when I watched a video of VT game, I did not see first round.  Others do...

Leatherwood is more of a finesse player that will be strong vs pass rush, weaker in run game.  I can live with it.  When I watched him, I saw good feet and balance, and a bit of a nasty streak.

Eichenberg is one of my favorites in the second round.  He is not great at any one thing; solid across the board and his technique is good.  ND OL are getting like Wisconsin OL--worth the investment.

Mayfield has been a RT--not sure how he will handle the left side.  Good RT though. 

Carmen and Slater have been listed as a G. I see it with Carmen, not so much with Slater.  I see LT all over Slater--and a good one. I have read the statements about him being a G, but I disagree, fwiw.

And I would say this--do not go to sleep on Penn State's R. Walker.  He could be the second best OT in the draft.

I kind of want a C in the second and FA LT. I want our rookie QB and C to grow and develop together. Plus a second round center should be one if the top ones in the draft.

[Pup McBarky]

Darrisaw will definitely be gone before the 2nd round. That guy is gonna be a monster. He basically made Quinton Roche vanish.

[Basbear]

The whole league needs OL, remember the Failcons drafting Lindstrom and passing on Burns(thanks!!!). Just at place where the colleges have not been able to improve the OLs much.

 

I do hold hope to this idea that some QB desperate team will give the Beaguals a offer they can not refuse, leaving panthers with Sewell for the taking. Its possible given they use a 1st for a LT in 2018. Let me have my dream!!

Just a typical Aussie battler by the sounds
