I know we have at least one Vols fan in the huddle. Is there someone that can give a good breakdown on Antonio Richardson that has followed his career?

Fantastic size (6'6 330 something) very long arms (35 inches) and strong as an ox (36 reps at the combine). A few scouting reports mention him getting bull rushed by clowney this year (but, hell, clowney is a monster) but also says he is quite efficient at run and pass blocking. UT had five 200 yard rushers this year which is inspiring.

I'm all aboard on BPA whether it's WR, CB, OL. So for all those who know more more than the cliffs notes version of what I've found, I'd love to know if Richardson is worth the 28th pick.

Richardson wasn't getting bulled around by clowney, he had a hard time getting his hands on him at times, clowney was too quick

 

I was wondering about that same scouting report, and this makes more sense. I didn't see the game but given their sizes, I have a hard time imagining Clowney bull rushing Richardson.

In my opinion, Richardson is probably the only legitimate option at 28 to get a day 1 starter at LT for the Panthers. I would prefer to let him start on the right side his first year and sign a free agent left tackle.

Lewan, Robinson and Mathews will be gone by 28. If any of those three are still there we need to fly up to the podium.

Honestly if Richardson is gone along with the other tackle options I would prefer us going BPA. Use our pick to get a game changing receiver before the non playoff team in the second round gobble up the play makers.

You guys need to see this. Richardson has knee issues.

Yeah, i seen that when they reported on Cyrus Ks knee problem. he could take a hard fall down the draft as well.

 

That's why I believe that we will use the first pick on something else other than offensive tackle.  I'm thinking that G-man will address that in FA.

 

Someone will still probably snap up Richardson in the second (depending), but I would rather have James in the third, but he may not last that long.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
