I was impressed with wr Ricky Pearsall. Crisp route runner, great hands, solid speed.

I have liked Pearsall for a while now. Guy was Florida’s only threat, and was criminally underutilized at UF as QB play was inconsistent AF. Let it never be said that he didn’t show up in big games, his quarterbacks never did.

I don't think the 2 WRs from LSU know how to block. Heck, half the time their Olineman didn't block.

I think blocking isn’t a big deal for anyone in college football. With all these spread offenses, nobody is being prepared to play on an NFL level.

Not sure how that follows TBH. A good percentage of your spread run game and screen game depends heavily on receiver blocking.

Stover is a guy I think that we will draft in the later rounds.

Our FO loves guys from Ohio State and Stover is an ex high school basketball star!

 

[SweetT]

That mindset

That mindset

This guy is going to be great. We have 2 WRs under contract with 1 as a ERFA, so 3 WRs on the roster. We could legit rebuild the WR room for this new offense in this draft.

I would not be suprised by WR in the 2nd. We will address one of our OL/DL needs via FA.

In the late rounds ,we can take a WR ,we don't have to get one in the first 2 rounds
we have bigger needs

 

[Treybad]

OL.....yeah...

Fashanu looks scary.....

We need an X, I could deal with Leggett at 45. He is a stronger, faster Michael Thomas.

How many WRs do we have under contract?

Sure, but the guys with the ability to play in the NFL are not often the guys being counted on to do that blocking. If they are running a WR screen, they are the guy they are getting the ball too. And, out of necessity the blocking schemes aren't as complex. So, while they may do it some, it's not as important or as much as will be required in the NFL.

I also think the number of spread offenses in college are why there seems to be a lack of talent on the OL in the NFL in general. Most teams have decent starters, but finding good backups is very difficult. It's probably part of why spread concepts, RPO, and Read Option have moved from college to the NFL and become relatively common in the NFL.

Fauntau looks incredible in these drills.

Definitely need to go back and watch his tape.

If Kubes wants mobile O-lineman for the new scheme, Fautaunu could be that guy.
