2022 TPB Members and Pundits Mock Draft Thread

The Oline will get fixed. We don't have to go all Cecil B. DeMille.

Had to look him up. Dude’s been dead for over 60 years. Will you please make your references so that someone younger than Dwight Eisenhower can understand em? lol

Building the Oline is part of an overall strategy.

My draft and free agency decisions are quite different than yours.

@ #13...
Sewell--gone.
Slater--prolly gone, but OLT or Center only, and OG is a huge need. The value is also in question, when Oline can be addressed with other working capital.
AVT--big overdraft, he's a Guard. Have seen him as late as mid to late twenties. Can he handle speed on the outside ? This is pick 13.
Where's Darrisaw, so long as you are talking about run blocking ?

The "BYU kid" has maturity, at 25 years of age, and after LDS Mission. He makes one good block per play at OLT. The value is there in round three.

After the seasons Wirfs and Wills just had, I would not be inclined to compare any rookie to them.

Yes, building the OL is an overall strategy.
Sewell... definitely gone.
Slater... 50/50.
AVT... is a guard. He is also a tackle. Comparing him to Darrisaw (or any other OT) in the run game is laughable.
He's THE best run-blocking tackle in college. Combo, 2nd-level, blocking to the whistle, angles, down field, open field...

The OL only gets fixed if you try. Adequate doesn't cut it in the NFL.
There are 3 positions completely open. The only action thus far in FA is to see if someone will give us a 7th rounder for our starting RG... no one is biting. For good reason. The only reason Bulaga will be there in 2021 is because he will cost more to cut than to keep.

Here's a guy that sees exactly what I see in AVT. You guys are being lazy...

True. I’ve watched a lot of OL tape this year and no one matches the 2nd level blocks that AVT makes on a regular basis. Kids a beast. He can play both.

Meinerz does does he did it in Div 3 lol.

[dmac_bolt]

if Little passes my physical and looks good at pro day, I’m taking him at 13. he’s my prototype anchor, he’s Sewell South.

Yep. People that watch tape, know this, too.
Nutty was watching tape on a kid from Whitewater back in November. They said I was was... well, Nutty.

I was watching tape on Little... many years ago, too. He is good... just not #13 good. He wasn't in 2018... he's not in 2021... Injury to his knee is not his only issue. AVT is a much better run blocker.

So if someone disagrees with you,
they are "lazy" ???

The last time I disagreed with you about AVT @ #13, two short weeks ago, you declared my credibility to be suspect.

The draft is in late April...hang in there buddy.

Everyone else, reaching at #13 does not fix the Oline, protect Herbert, or win us championships.

The talk today is that Mac Jones, aka QB #5, will be gone by pick #15 to NE.

Don't you think that this will result in trade down possibilities for LAC, or somebody really good falling to pick # 13 ?

You both are being hyperbolic Trenchers.

[Boltgang74]

If a player can be a solid dependable Tackle at #13 he aint a reach,just draft the guy and lets build a freakin credible o line already.

Are you watching any of the links that I'm posting?
Last time we spoke about AVT... you brought up the Oregon game (Thibideaux). Did you watch any of the Oregon game?

Compare AVT's Oregon game to Walker Little's Notre Dame game. Tell me what you see?

I'm open to an informed discussion.

BTW... I went and watched every BYU game this season after you suggested we pick Christensen in the 3rd. Sometimes doing work involves doing things that are not your first choice. You're not the only one that watches tape. Yet your comments infer otherwise.
