*Any chance they trade Minkah? No? Well, I just did (Does Pat Queen have any trade value? Would love to dump his ass too). Lotta other trade ups and downs in this one I’m too lazy to explain. Just roll with it. I like volume.
1.) Josh Simmons 6’5 310 OT Ohio State- The hits for the National Champs just keep on comin’ with offensive line coach Justin Frye bolting for the Arizona Cardinals. Dude did a helluva job navigating through key injuries to the OL including their stud LT here who went down in the October loss to Oregon. With Dan Moore a FA and Broderick Jones looking like a bust, I’m all for taking another OL swing on arguably the best LT in the draft.
2T) Elijah Arroyo 6’4 245 TE Miami- “Again, Drama? We need wide receivers ya barrel of monkey nuts.” Relax, amigo. This fast mover gets vertical in a hurry. Uncoverable down in Mobile. Unique chess piece for a creative OC to…oh wait…never mind.
3T) Carson Schwesinger 6’2 225 LB UCLA- The Hulk is red? Captain America is black? I think Hollywood is officially out of ideas. Anyway, from walk-on to All-American, “Captain America” here defines the term 1 year wonder. Like his nickname suggests, this stat sheet filler commands the respect of his team with his take charge attitude. This biochemical engineering major embodies leadership and WHAT IT USED TO MEAN to be a student athlete. Again, culture counts, y’all.
3T) Andrew Mukuba 6’0 190 S Texas- Cop gets his man. Clemson transfer took his game to a new level over in Austin. Nose for the football type that can lay the wood or make a house call. Would make a bad ass nickel in the likely event the Steelers DON’T trade “Montreal” Minkah.
4) Jordan Phillips 6’3 320 DT Maryland- “Again?” Not my fault Dino loves a big ass. Still just 20 years old, this Feldman Freak squats 705 and benches 495. Former HS wrestler is a run stopper extraordinaire. Yes please.
4T) Nohl Williams 6’1 200 CB Cal- Shrine Bowl star has the size and physicality to thrive in that oh so dynamic “Teryl Austin” defense. YOU SUCK, Tomlin!
5.) Kyle Williams 6’0 186 WR Washington State- Hell no I’ve never seen a Washington State game, but I’m guessing this fella really missed having Cam Ward tossing him footballs this year. Yet another player who impressed during the week of hyperbole down in Mobile. Cooper Kupp? Ewww. You don’t have to trade for Chris Godwin. Assuming he’s healthy, Godwin a hard-nosed, no diva, do the dirty work kinda player who would in theory be a good influence on Crazy George and fill the chasmic hole that is WR2.
6T) LeQuint Allen 6’0 201 RB Syracuse- Dual threat RB often lines up at receiver leading all FBS running backs in targets and receptions (64 and 104 for his career). Just 20 years old, this LeQuint fella is a patient runner with absurd contact balance. Tellin’ ya’ll, Nick Chubb could have nice bounce back in year 2 after his brutal knee injury suffered at the hands of “Montreal” Minkah.
6T) Weston Franklin 6’4 310 OC Georgia Tech- Huge Brett Key fan. That INSANE 8…that’s 8… OT loss to his buddy Kirby was crushing but showed “Good old fashioned hate” is back. Key has really made an impact as head coach of the Ramblin’ Wreck. Some serious local talent like this Franklin fella wisely staying home and finding success down on the flats.
6T) Zeek Biggers 6’5 320 DL Georgia Tech- Jebrick gets his man. Another local product thriving under Key’s culture. Boasting ’35 arms and an ’85 wingspan this mammoth disruptor could really develop into…oh wait…never mind.
7) Issac Teslaa 6’4 217 WR Arkansas- “Teslaa is all charged up.” Ohh so witty, DJ. Not a stat “Hog” but this Senior Bowl star offers good size and an impressive 19.5 yds per catch this past season over in Fayetteville.
Thanks as always for reading. Please comment on the players you like and those you don’t. A Pacific Northwest school and two California schools? Not with our scouting department, but college football doesn’t cease to exist past the Mississippi River.
