I mean honestly we keep 9 oline at most. and our top 9 aren't bad. You're likely looking at Elflein and Jordan rounding out the 8/9 spots on that list. I don't think that Daley or Brown make the roster. I also think there's a better than average chance we can upgrade from other teams cuts.

Jordan sucks ass too 😞

Why are we quickly writing off Bozeman after a single game of preseason? Players can have rough games , they’re human. I don’t get it. It’s not like he’s out here costing us Super Bowls with poor blocking. The line will be fine. The ground work has been placed. Rock steady pro bowl RT, super bowl winning RG, C from a team that calls for a premium at every OL spot, 6th overall pick on a pure bully of a LT (although he does need to work on balance, but he’s a rookie, let him have that time), and at LG you’ve got an underplayed player that people have been saying is most improved- with a well renowned OL coach.

I sincerely don’t get this doom and gloom. We need more glass half full going on in this fanbase.

I'm not sure that saying that Mays could be our future at C is writing Bozeman off. I feel like this thread is a positive thread, so I'm not sure why you're confused. I'm assuming Bozeman is going to start, but he's just looked average to me so far, but average is obviously better than what we've had recently. I just think that Mays has the potential to surplant him in the near future. I don't understand why you feel that's a negative.

Not the entire thread but I’ve noticed in other threads and some comments on here that poof- Bozeman is done. I’m actually also really high on Mays too. Wondered why his draft stock dipped like it did.

He's was a guard forced to play tackle on a bad Tennessee team with a bad offensive scheme and missed some time due to injury.

Out of sight out of mind. Bozeman is hurt so he's out of sight and out of mind.

Mays is a bright spot in an otherwise clusterfug of bad depth in Jordan, Daley, Brown, Elflein, Tecklenburg, Horton, and Erving.

depth almost completely across the board is this teams biggest weakness, but at least this team looks like it could field starter quality players at every position for once.

It's pretty obvious what we're doing with our o-line. This is more of a run blocking o-line built for CMC. The plan is probably to play action pass to CMC once he gets going, and then throw out of that. We're going to try to maul teams with monsters like Ickey and Moton, and in the middle we'll use violence pulling like you saw in the clip in this thread. That can lead to injuries but also set CMC on fire for big gains. Smashing into guy leading with your head and going flying to the turf does not make for a long career, put it that way.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
