I don't see why he wouldn't. Older prospect (5th year senior) playing a tweener position - too small for every down role inside. I'm all for continuing to bolster the d line, but I'd rather prioritize bigger bodies who can play every down and help with the run as well as the pass rather than the smaller gap penetrating D linemen. We invested a lot of money in linebackers that can fly around the field so we need to keep them clean and let them do their job, imo.

Agreed. Sad how the interior needs to totally rebuilt. I'd wait until rounds 5 and 6 however. Time for offense (no running backs, QBs, or receivers) move to the front of the line.

Getting AA back will make things look a lot better. Kinlaw would as well, but we can't depend on his health, unfortunately. Remember, not only are we down our two most talented guys on the interior, but it also shallows out our rotation, and so those guys who looked really good on spurts are now being asked to stay out there for way too many reps. Javon Hargrave would be a priority free agent for me, and then yeah, draft a bigger body with athleticism in the mold of a DJ Jones later in the draft, should the opportunity present itself. Kalia Davis might be a piece when we comes back from injury next year..

I'm still all in on Davon Achane, even with the addition of CMC, but yes, bring on the OL. Three of my top 5 favorite prospects so far this year are OL.

We don't have any picks left.

Inaccurate

Idc idc

Gonna have to start trying to catch Princeton games lol. WR Andrei Iosivas listed at 6'3" 205.
Body type really reminds me Christian Watson and runs a 10.8 100m. Clips I've seen, he definitely has a second gear to seperate late on deep balls. Probably not quite as athletic as Christian Watson, but plenty fast and agile by NFL standards and looks to have better skills "above the rim". Could be a early day 3 pick with a lot of things that our WR corps is missing.

Another huge game for rashee rice

Drafting Achane would be...irresponsible lol unless you have him as the primary returner.

But I'd love to have him. He brings to Mostert element back to the offense. If we could keep Brunskill at tackle or could rely on Moore, then I'd say go for it. Can still get a center with one of the thirds. Can still get a TE and DT. If our O line picks work out, then I'd absolutely keep Achane on the table. Of course this also means a RB will get traded.

Oh wow, Iowa DL Lukas Van Ness, someone I had pegged as a day three target just made Dane Bruglers top 50! Shows what I know...I thought I was the only one high on him and clearly I was not nearly high enough

Ya, redshirted 2020 so definitely draft eligible

FA: Tony Pollard, Javon Hargrave

No need for signing Pollard anymore with CMC joining the team, and Hargrave might be pricing himself out of our range (what a game tonight)

Bryan Breese has been getting all the publicity, but Clemson's Tyler Davis is currently going underappreciated as someone who reminds me a bit of Hargrave.

I want Trey Dean, Safety from Florida and Tyler Davis, DT from Clemson.
