Saw the score of the game today and wondered... When was the last time Minn trounced Mich St?
Putting Ibrahim, Deuce Vaughn, and Jirehl Brock in my 4th & 5th round RB cluster

Love Kancey in our first round cluster to replace Tillery and be Aaron Donald lite. Shore up the run D and preserve Bosa and Mack for 2 more years in the Super Bowl window.

looking @the history/pattern of Stalesco, would surmise the odds are that the neither of Pips nor Feiler are resigned, and that they will draft an Olineman and sign a FA lineman as well.

for myself, my suspicion is that Eli Cox could turn into my Zion Johnson of this draft, as he could well play himself into first round consideration when all is said and done.

are there any FA lineman that you think might fit w/us ??

You were first on Zion so you have my full attention regarding O Line. Hopefully Feiler loves it in LA and will restructure at a discount to compete with Salyer for a starting job at guard.
If Feiler exits all the more reason to draft a RT high.

Deuce Vaughn's NFL compare is Darren Sproles in some circles....

really not sure where to slot him.... am mainly on watch due to Ninja's heavy rec on him last year, and.... more Aaron Donaldesque/round one, or Brandon Mebane/round threeish (which is where alotta pundits have him @present ?) ?

Watched K State beat OU and thought the same thing.
AJ knew what he was doing picking Sproles in the 4th and Turner in the 5th when he was on a roll his 1st 4 years.
Like Martinez as a late round pick to back up Herbie.
Beebe as a mid round G/C

Many have him with a 1st round grade, I will be watching him throughout the year. I want an Olshansky/Castillo type to replace Tillery and be great against the run again because it means less tackles and blocks Bosa, Mack and the MLBs have to take on. Depending on how the draft falls maybe build a dominant front 3 like the Rams had with Donald, Robinson, and Gaines last year.
Also like Byron Young from Bama 6'3 292 in the 3rd.

got my eye on Beebe a little bit.... wish he was a day three guy, but think he's gonna be a day two pick.

2022 NFL Draft Stock Down

Bryan Bresee, DT, Clemson
Bresee has been dealing with a horrible family tragedy, and that could be having an impact on his play this year. Bresee is also coming off a torn ACL from 2021, so he could be still working his way back to his 2020 form. This year, Bresee has been solid at the point of attack to hold his ground, but he also is struggling to get off blocks. Bresee needs to show more pass-rush ability to shed blocks and get off linemen in the ground game. Bresee might be better off returning for his senior year and improving before going to the next level rather than entering the 2023 NFL Draft.

Julius Brents, CB, Kansas State
Team sources say Brents has impressed them this season with his cover skills. He is a tough defender with massive size for a NFL cornerback at 6-foot-3, 202 pounds. Bringing strength and tenacity, Brents is a hard tackler and physical defender. In 2021, he recorded 49 tackles, an interception and two passes defended.

I only have interest in talking about Bumper Pool. He’s everywhere, okay? Doesn’t he kinda look like one of those Ohio State linebackers like Pete Werner who they just didn’t get for some reason? Guy makes plays. That’s all I know. What’s he going to run? That’s all I want to know right now. I hope fast but I’m not super optimistic. I hope fast.

ps/edit: searched for his 40 time.... 5.01 :More Q Please:
