I'm going to get excited about Tranquill after he shows he's an NFL linebacker in real games. Remember Joshua Perry? Eerily similar. He was the college teammate of our 1st round 2016 DL pick, drafted in the 4th round like Tranquill. There was a lot of buzz about Perry going into his rookie season, we all thought he was going to be one of the steals of the draft. Then he completely disappeared when the season started and washed out after one year. It's just weird how similar the situation is to Tranquill, who is now wearing Perry's number. So I'm reserving opinion about Tranquill for now.

Tranquil impressed me against Clemson.

if he ends up busting, I'll just pretend I was cynical from the beginning.

Joshua Perry showed me nothing at Ohio State as an inside linebacker. I didn't hear much about him during spring camp or training camp. In retrospect, he probably was too large and should have been a defensive end or outside rush linebacker.

After the draft, the San Diego Chargers can create a elite defense capable of terrorizing the league.
Joshua Perry continues to make believers out of people as he is now the next Buckeyes player to be drafted.

It's probably more than coincidence that TT takes college teammates, but I don't think it really works beyond training camp. Maybe Gordon was helped by having Watt. Perry really showed nothing in his rookie camp. The Tillery/Tranquil/Rochell (and maybe 'mullet') might be decent, but that's still too early to say. I just think TT and Jonh Spanos maybe too reliant on on that midwest scout. I'd like to see that M.Williams/A.Scott thing work out as well.
