derp Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Ohio State’s Wyatt Davis opts out with the Big Ten’s uncertainty. Potential first round guard. Really interested to see what Douglas’ plan on the OL is. Continuity is so key and in a year where he mostly gave out one year deals, this starting line is signed through 2022. Flip side of course is he’s got clean outs for Lewis, Fant, and Van Roten after this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him to go OG or tackle again with one of our 1st next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, continuity is so important. If it’s a top half of the league line and he can run that back for two years I’d get it. Depends so much how this year goes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With many players not adding tape this year due to cancellations, once you get into the mid-to-late rounds, injury history, explosive RAS scores and ST ability will be looked at more closely. Bust potential next year will be at an all-time high after the first 2 rounds. You need to make picks pay off even if they fail to make starting lineup. ST value, IMO, will be given greater attention. We cant have another 2014/2015 draft class again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Becton is a stud and either Fant or Edoga prove that they can be solid starters, then there is no need to invest a premoum resource in tackle. And Mcgovern has been a solid C in Denver, I would expect him to play well. I agree with you on the guard position, it probably can be upgraded as we currently have two journeymen (Van Roten & Lewis) and an unproven rookie (Clark). But if all goes well, we could be set at T and C and just be looking for depth pieces &/or deveopmental guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as it becomes more and more clear that the Big10 and Pac12 aren’t going to play, more and more of these players will be declaring. For some guys like Sewell from Oregon, it won’t matter much. But for most guys it’s going to hurt a little by not being able to put anything on tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for this post. I have been so out of it, that I did not realize the Big 10 had voted to start their season in October. Just waiting on the Pac 12 now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we’ll have some tape on these players going into draft season next year. What’s going to be a s**t show is selecting the playoff teams this year. Big10 only playing 8 games, conference only. ACC playing 11 plus a conference championship. SEC playing a 10 game conference only with a conference championship game. Going to be A LOT of politicking come December. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, I don't even care about the playoff (that may change if we start out 4-0 after beating Auburn, Tenn and Bama in weeks 2-4) . Just looking forward to watching college (and pro) football over the next few months. The one positive to this season, with the late starts, is that the college season will run through December--assuming no major Covid disruptions. It won't end in early December and have 4-6 week delays until the Bowl games. At least for certain conferences. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sec101row23 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Rondale Moore is opting back in for Purdue. He really needed to play this year due to missing most of last year to injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you feel about Lawrence as a Jet - both as a Jets fan and a Clemson fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how long he lasts but with our second 1st he would be a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
