Like the player, dont get the trade up.

 

This isnt a sexy draft but a draft this franchise needed.

 

Morgan obviously didn't want to get Howie Rosemanned, that's the simplest and truest reason for the trade-up. It's not at all hard to understand.

You’re underplaying how atrocious a program Auburn has been the past 5 years. Absolute dumpster fire there, they hired John Cohen who is the worst AD in the SEC by a mile and doesn’t understand the current NIL age and therefore it is being run by the boosters 

Yeah auburn is in the toilet. I don’t mind him leaving there so much as going to Orlando to play for the 2024 version of Gus Malzahn.

when malzahn left UCF, if it was really about the (offensive) coach he could have followed him to Florida state and played actual competition. Instead he stayed in the big 12 and I could not care less about what he did in that schedule against that caliber of offensive lineman.

I didn’t follow the draft this year, I’m too busy with work and buying a new house, and I don’t follow big 12 football as a rule. Maybe he jumped off the charts with the scouts and coaches. But the only requirement to play offensive line in the big 12 is being able to get back onto your feet quickly and block for two seconds and do it 60 times a game.

Yeah 2025 big 12 football isn't the 2019 or the old 90s 3 yards in a cloud of dust anymore. They got pillaged and the scraps of the big 12, pac-10 and mid majors remain.

A physically large defensive tackle who dominated against physically inferior opponents?

Congrats we’ve got another Vernon butler. Ceiling is a rotational DT for the bills.

He had five tackles for loss against Oregon in the CFP.   But...

His 21.5-inch vertical is a red flag. It was the worst vertical posted by a defensive tackle by more than 5 inches. He also tied for the worst broad jump posted by a defensive tackle.
