I'm high on Sanders but I am really intrigued by Riley Leonard at ND.  He has a chance to really climb up draft boards.  Some scouts are trying to hype up Weigman at A&M (not sure about that one) and Beck at UGA is interesting....

I only saw a few games of Leonard this year, but he looked massively overhyped to me.  The Clemson game he looked awful....nowhere near 1st round potential like they are saying.  His stats back up his overhype status as well...especially against top teams.

He was still pretty raw but keep in mind he was playing with Duke players against top teams. It will be interesting to see what he can do with ND talent around him. He could very well be all hype like you are saying, but it’s something to watch. Has the size, speed, and arm. Just needs to get the fundamentals down better.

He is going to be 22 years old when the season starts, 23 when he hits the NFL at best - and he regressed last year significantly.  Plenty of guys had decent numbers on poor teams in college.  Raw after 3 seasons of college ball is an enormous red flag.  But of course that is just an opinion. 

Personally I think people need to keep their eyes on Cade Klubnik.  His first season starting had decent numbers and he had little to no receivers and significant Oline issues.  This year he should have targets and Oline improved significantly with a 2nd season under the new system.  I'd put money on him being in the conversation next draft if he leaves early.

in fairness, Clemson has 4 members of their defensive front going in this draft.....and you could argue those 4 dudes don't even represent the best of that front.  I mean, when Clemson's front came to play, it was one of the best in nation.   That's a stacked D up front in terms of talent.

Hey it all just makes the season more interesting and enjoyable.  Who knows maybe a Burrow shows out next year.

I just mention Clemson because I am a Clemson guy so I watch all their games.  But trust me my assessment isn't biased towards the circumstances.  He looked very bad and it wasn't due to the pressure - nothing like the top guys every year.  And as I said the rest of his stats also support the opinion....he looked bad in quite a few games before his injury.

His stats look decent in 2022.  This year it looks like he was just tucking it and running a lot.  I mean it was Duke.  You can't get the Clemson QB a pass with surrounding talent and not the Duke guy lol.  Big difference in talent between those two schools.  Regardless they both are two good stories to watch this year.

Good college QB that just doesn't translate to the NFL IMO. He's a better runner than he is a passer but doesn't have the measurables to translate that running to the NFL level. I hate to use the comp because it feels lazy because they both played at duke but he really is basically a poor man's Daniel Jones.

Overlooked in this whole draft is Spencer Rattler.   He has one of the better arms IMO.  Accuracy and can make all the throws.  I think Williams is a bust.  Too much Diva.  

Rattler definitely has a live arm. Someone will take a crack at him in the mid-rounds. Agreed on the Williams diva concern, but honestly Rattler has that same concern too.

      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
