Anybody on the State line.

Or Emeka Emezie.

Or Bam Knight.

Emezie is not even a PS caliber WR. 

Knight is an NFL caliber player.

Named as an Outland Trophy finalist:  ONE sack yielded in 755 pass blocking snaps.

OL STUD!

Emezie has the receptions record at State. I think he’s probably more technical than Jacoby Myers and Myers has done pretty well with the Pats.

Emezie cannot get an ounce of separation at the college level and he is not an elite route runner. Those guys are a dime a dozen. Having above average hands and looking like a football player isn't gonna get him far in the NFL.

 Just because you produced in college doesn't make you an NFL player. This is the most common mistake that almost ALL college football fans make. That and having a little too much homer in them(ask @LinvilleGorge).

Hey, I've always been very fair in my assessments of UNC players. I'll say it when I think our guys are good college players who won't make the transition. Howell is just gonna be a stud, that's all.

Last year I told everyone I wouldn't draft Dyami Brown because he's basically Ted Ginn Jr. 2.0.

I am gonna needle you about that until he proves me wrong. If so, feel free to give it back.

Still very down on this class.

Hopefully Cam is The Guy for next season and we can focus on that OL.

If Cam holds up this would make sense. Then look for someone like KJ Jefferson out of Arkansas the following year (I’m getting an early draft crush on him).

Hey, I could be wrong. Every year there are teams that get it wrong on QBs in the draft. It's an inexact science at absolute very best.

Well you whiffed on Herbert too. We may have to send you to the Matt Rhule Seminar for QB and OL Evaluation.

I whiffed on Herbert due to that bullshit Oregon system. I always said that if it's the system holding him back he has all the tools to be great, I just didn't want him because there was no way to project him to the NFL based on that bullshit one read passing system. My big whiff was Josh Allen. I didn't see any chance for him to be successful in the NFL. The strides he made as a lure passer from college are nearly unparalleled.
