Two huge prospects for us. Both realistic picks in the second round,

I use to be iffy on Elam, but he looks like a solid defensive back at the next level, especially how well Godfrey has panned out at FS. This guy could be the missing piece in our secondary.

Shariff Floyd is just as talented as any of the DTs besides Star IMO. You'll see how disruptive he is tonight in the run and pass. I'd love to get a receiver or offensive linemen and then draft Floyd in the 2nd.

Who else is watching?

I'd really like Floyd as well. As of now, my prefect draft would be Warmack/Fisher in the 1st, Floyd in the second, with a possible sleeper WR pick like Marques Wilson later on. However, I definitely wouldn't mind Matt Elam in the second.

im watching and wow. but my sleeper pick is Xavier Nixon LT for Florida. guess where he is from? another local talent guy from NC. a decent LT prospect who could be there in the 4th round, but i thought that same thing about Marcus Gilbert but he went in the 2nd.

Posted this in the other thread, here it is for reference.

Allstate Sugar Bowl Prospects

Louisville

Mario Benavides- Center- Projected Round: 5-6 (He would be a good back up for Kalil)

Adrian Bushell- Cornerback - Projected Round: 4 (Would be a decent starting corner opposite Gamble)

Florida

Sharrif Floyd - Defensive Tackle - Projected Round: 1-2 (Looks to be like a starting caliber DT, would look good with Dwan Edwards in the middle)

Omar Hunter- Defensive Tackle - Projected Round: 7-FA (Big DT, would be solid depth on the defensive line)

Josh Evans - Free Safety- Projected Round: 5 (Would be good depth at the safety position)

Caleb Sturgis - Kicker - Projected Round: 7 (Easily one of the best kickers in the draft)

Xavier Nixon- Offensive Tackle - Projected Round: 4-5 (Possible a sleeper OT, has good size and measurable's)

Matt Elam - Strong Safety - Projected Round: 1 (Best SS in the class, really solid player and should be a good starter)

      Canes vs Panthers Rd 3 Game 2 Thursday 8pm

      Getting this out early so we can flush that abomination down the toilet from last night.  Start fresh if you will.  Win tomorrow and we will have not just our first ECF game win in 19 years, but will be back into it.  Put in Janko and play the Boom if Chatty can’t go.  LFG Canes!

      Sounds like he wasn't picked up and is now on the Panthers' IR. THE DREAM STILL LIVES

      There are a lot of question marks surrounding TMo right now. There were whispers leading into the draft that the team was ready to move on due to a knee issue, but they came away with no real backup plan outside of BC. Maybe the knee isn't as serious as feared… or maybe it was just front office gamesmanship, like we saw with the Jalon Walker rumors. With Icky's second contract on the horizon, the team's probably hoping Moton is open to a team-friendly extension. His consistency over the years has been incredibly underappreciated. Hunt's grades dipped last season--particularly in pass pro, where he ranked 54th among guards with 500+ pass-blocking snaps. That's not ideal, but when you step back, it's still starting-caliber play. In the run game, he was more effective--posting the 14th-highest run-blocking grade among guards with 300+ run-blocking snaps. DLew, meanwhile, was a warrior. He played through a shoulder injury all season and still ranked 17th in pass-blocking + 10th in run-blocking under those same filters. Context matters here too... in terms of 2024 cap hits, Hunt was the 17th-highest paid guard at $6.45M while DLew was 25th at $4.9M. DLew absolutely outplayed the first year of his deal. Looking ahead, Hunt will carry the #3 highest cap hit among guards in 2025 at $21.65M, while DLew will be #10 at $14.57M. If DLew maintains that level of play and Hunt bounces back in pass pro? Oooh wee mayne. That said, decisions are coming. DLew can be cut in 2026 for $9M in savings, or in 2027 for $13M. Hunt is more locked in: his contract opens up flexibility starting in 2027 ($14.3M savings) and jumps to $18M in 2028. And then there's the biggest unresolved piece: center. Cade Mays looked solid when called upon, and Christensen didn't look out of place either. Corbett's durability is a fair concern... he hasn't been able to stay on the field the past two years. If Mays locks down the center job, I think the front office moves quickly to secure RT next. Once the bookends are in place, the interior OL becomes the next long-term focus. Hopefully, they're already developing some of those answers internally.
