Obviously I haven't seen Toledo play a ton, but I heard a ton of great stuff about Mancz. He needs to get with the strength coach, but the stuff I've read makes him sound like a guy who could turn into a starter in a couple of years. In a number of respects, he sounds a whole lot like the way people spoke of David Quessenberry before he was diagnosed with cancer.

Kurtis Drummond could be something man. Develop him and you could have a very good safety on your hands.
Mancz could be something down the road too. Per LZ, Bottom Line He needs a year in the weight room, but Mancz is ahead of the game in terms of his understanding of offensive-line play. After playing all three positions, Mancz offers the type of versatility that teams covet, but his average play strength could be a draft-day counter to his versatility. Based on Mancz's tape and history, one would have to expect that he will find a way to succeed in the league.

The best they could do was Kevin Rodgers? No Shane Carden, Connor Halliday, Bo Wallace or even Blake Sims?
Mancz, Trail, Williams, and Drummond all could make the team. I think they can be players in this league. I think Drummond has a little Glover Quin in him. I really hope we get on Hard Knocks.
