He might be the best OL in the draft but supposedly GREAT college linemen have busted. To me he's a must-get at #25 if he's still available, but I think he'll be gone.
I have the same concern about Booker's lateral quickness in pass protection. In a phone booth area, Booker absolutely dominates. I'm not basing my projection off my opinion of where his talent is. I'm basing my opinion off of what some of the top draft analysts who talk with teams are saying. The word out is that teams really really love Booker and he is going to be drafted higher than what most mock drafts are projecting.
That would be an awesome draft? Was Ty Robinson picked when you picked Broughton. I'm very high on Robinson. /
Emeka is a slot receiver, inside guy. I don't know what his 40 time is because he didn't run at the combine, but he will run next week at his pro day. I expect it to be around a 4.45. He is a polished route runner and will be a good WR in the league. I don't see the fast change of direction that you see in other slot receivers. I see about 4 wide receivers being drafted in the 1st round that will be drafted before Egbuka. Egbuka will probably be drafted somewhere at the top of the 2nd round to mid 2nd round. Burden and Noel are also slot receivers that have similar grades to Egbuka and could be drafted before or after him.
I'm really high on Alexander and Robinson for the Texans. I like the idea of Burch being a tweener where he would play both inside and outside on the defensive line..
My guys are Noel/ the 2 TCU guys/Royals/Harris outside of rd 1. If I had to pick a WR at 1-25 Golden would be my guy.
OSU moved him around all season, that was his genius. Yes, he did get the sack and TD off of CW off the left edge, but that wasn't the whole story. He'd make a great mid-round OG
If you believe in Noel or Mason Taylor then this would be a smart move. Personally I'm hoping Banks falls or they trade up for him. If Banks/Loveland aren't there and Caserio stays at 1-25 then I hope Zabel is the pick.
I misspoke. Reportedly Booker's pass protection is really good but his run blocking needs improvement. Sorry. https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Tyler-Booker-OL-Alabama
Without getting into specific players and in no particular order, which positions do you believe we should pick or will pick? Here's mine: OT (starter) OG (starter) WR (2) (starter, quality 4th receiver depth) DT (depth, future starter) CB (quality depth) LB (coverage)
Disagree about Loveland, go checkout his 2023 tape, you cant run for as many yds as Corum did without having a TE that can block. Plus the fact that Loveland had to deal with some of the worst QB play I've ever seen in a long time.
