Quan Sturdivent of UNC is staying in school.

Sam Young. We got our bookend guards last year, and now get our bookend tackles this year. King was in and out as a starter at South Carolina this year.

Thanks. I've eliminated him from the poll and notified my boss!

[Acantha]

D'Anthony Smith still being around in the 4th would be a steal. He pretty much eclipses the rest of the choices.

[2020 Our Year For Sure]

I don't know anything about the prospects at this point, but if the draft shakes out like this for us, I'd be thinking defensive line here.

My thoughts exactly. Best DT, DE or pass rushing LB available unless a stud OL or WR (losing TO and Reed will leave a hole at WR) drops.

Good Thought. I wondered if there would be some "Young Love" out there! There's a guy named Veldheer who played Tackle at a tiny school --Hillsdale-- who'd still be there a round or two from now.

I also wonder if they'd think of moving Wood to Center and taking another guard.

When the Big Board is redone today, D'Anthony Smith ought to go up a round at least. He's the better of the DT's here. Oghobaase was a superior player on an inferior team.

[bills_red]

Why draft Sam Young? You guys hate Butler?

[Lofton80]

Young is huge but a poor pass blocker. Powe all day there and he never lasts until the 4th.

Young is huge but a poor pass blocker. Powe all day there and he never lasts until the 4th.

Young provided protection for Brady Quinn as he surpassed 3,000 passing yards. Again.

 

Powe is a sack o' lard whose low draft stock will show itself after he works out (or passes out) at the combine. Round 4-5 and going to a 3-4 team.

[bills_red]

Watching the Old Miss bowl game again. The 1st two plays Powe stoped a run for a yard then had a splash play making the QB roll out.

 

We need to draft McCluster in R3 or 4. This guys is so fing quick it isn't funny. we don't need a RB but I don't care we have no one that can take it to the house anywhere from the field.

He won't be there in RD4 at pick #104. The only way to do it would be to trade Lynch for a team needing a running back, and based on the positional needs of each team and the depth of this draft at RB, this is a bad year to do this. Plus there So you're back where you started: Needs at LT, QB, DE, DT, OLB and the urge to take a RB in RD3.

You don't know but prob. right. Still I'd love that kid in R3 or 4.

 

DE isn't a big need imo (unless Aaron S. goes), plus with FA say we get vets at LB and DT so now needs are LT, QB. Draft LT and QB R1 and 2 and take McCluster in R3.

Also you can't fix everything in one year so I don't expect us to get everthing fix this draft/FA.

[Astrobot]

This one's too close to call. I'd take D'Anthony Smith. Any more votes?

[John Cocktosten]

Jeremy Beal from OU. Undersized DE in a 43 in college and would fit perfectly as an OLB in a 34. Great pass rusher and a great motor. #44 jumped out at me everytime I watched OU the past couple of years.

[Hazed and Amuzed]

I don't think 8 %points is all that close out of 38 votes. That's just me though...

[John Cocktosten]

I just saw the voting and Sam Young is the leader? Has anyone ever watched a ND game? He was a ton of hype coming out of Florida and was completely underwhelming as a college player. Watch the Navy game, he whiffed on a block in the 4th on the final drive and got Clausen killed. NO THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wilson from Gamehendge]

Tony Moeaki is going to be good, very, very good. He is projected as the best sleeper in this draft McShay said in the Iowa game last weekend.

 

But, I would much rather have Sam Young...I think he is going to be special.

 

 

Would MUCH rather have Toby Gerhart than Pike.

[Ghost of Rob Johnson]

Voted O'Dowd, one of the top center prospects. Can project as depth this year at center and if there is an injury at guard Hangartner can bump over. Don't we have Bell and Meredith already on roster? Is Young an upgrade?
