  1. Ersery still on the board at OT. I don't get this shit. The best DE in the Big Ten and the best OL in the Big Ten are still there.
  2. I don't get why these guys are good and JT Tuimoloau is 2nd or 3rd round.
  3. Iron Range boys chew on metal.
  4. A lot of guards in the 1st round, man.
  5. The 1 and 4 are next to each other on the pad. I'm guessing homey just typo'd a little.
  6. It's a good fit for them. They need someone to blow the doors off.
  7. I mean that's what I'd expect. I'm just saying that man loves offensive linemen.
  8. Harbaugh gonna take an OT even though he already has OT's. Because he's got no problem just saying "fuck it, I'll play 3 of em if they're my best players."
  9. Not unless Tomlin knows for a fact he gets to cut off Deion's other toes if his son gives him any primadonna bullshit.
  10. It's a weird situation where I think the best WR prospects aren't in the draft because of eligibility or coming off injury. It'll come down to fit. Neither of them strike me as "This is an elite tippy top guy". More Bralon Addison than Justin Jefferson.
  11. They both suck. Actually, I'm not 100% I think Sanders will suck. I just don't like him.
  12. Ironically I wouldn't fault Kingsbury for just getting solid OL at his current OC job because his only purpose in life right now is keep Jayden Daniels off the IR.
  13. Campbell's safe because if you don't play him at LT, you slide him to LG and pretend that's what you wanted in the first place, and he'll probably make a few All Pros. Absolute sure thing high end guard. But where he was picked? I agree. That's... Steve fucking Hutchinson and Randall McDaniel were mid to late 1st round. He's basically got to be borderline HoF or actual gold jacket to justify picking a guard that high. It's kind of a pussy out pick.
  14. Just my personal opinion, but I think the best OL from the draft is going to be Ersery if it isn't Banks. Giant dancing bears at LT that can move tend to do well.
  15. The Dallas Wings 1st round pick is more hyped than the Cowboys.
  16. They're super into losing to the Packers. It's their kink.
  17. I'm an ASU fan. I've seen a ton of Arizona. He's huge, and he moves a lot better than you'd think a guy that size would. There's more wiggle there. Not Calvin or anything, but he's got a lot of physical talent and put up huge numbers on a team that couldn't do shit besides throw it to him this last year. Was great the year before prior to the coach going to Washington too. He needs work on his route running but the clay to work with is top notch.
  18. I think the Campbell pick is at LG and while guards normally don't go high, the prevailing theory is "If you can draft a Steve Hutchinson, you draft the Steve Hutchinson." Which is fine. He'll go soon.
  19. This isn't the answer, but watching the extremely talented from small town schools is always fun. I have family from the area and they turned me onto Koi Perich when he was a junior. Sstarted as an interesting 3 star kid from BFE northern Minnesota. Then he got a little hype and the recruiting services bumped, and then just kept bumping him until he was the MVP of Army game and top 5 at his position. Then he made 2nd Team All American as a true freshman this last year despite barely playing for Minnesota the first 4 or 5 games. His hudl was like a grown man picking on children. https://www.hudl.com/video/3/15189064/6554f6b0688fb60a10cfd69e
  20. Dude's gonna need to treat leg day and core work like it's his new religion if he wants to be like that, but so does everyone. Skattebo's legs were like tree trunks.
  21. Recruiting classes are influenced pretty heavily by what came before, not what happened during their senior year. ASU had its worst season in program history in 2022. Then it had the same season in 2023. It'll take a bit to get rolling again, though they're starting to look better for this upcoming class. Also skeptical they have the NIL to compete with the Joneses yet. They spent a ton on retention as they kept 36 back from their 2 deep. Of the people that were eligible to return, only a backup WR and TE left. Those guys probably weren't gonna play much unless they had a great spring. Basically, they're running it back without Skattebo and Shamari Simmons and that's where their limited NIL went. They also took a ton of low-rated offensive linemen. Also took some tiny school RB from Texas named Grayson Rigdon a few days ago, which could either mean he'll never see the depth chart or be the endless talking point.
  22. On3 did their preseason early rankings of returning QBs and Arch came in #4 without having ever been a full time starter. Leavitt, Lagway, Allar (who I'm suspect of) and Sellers make up the rest of the top 5 in that order. That's 4 of the top 5 who were freshmen last year. That QB class is probably going to be wild if they're right.
  23. The Iowa State QB saw his life flash before his eyes on a complete blocking miss and shrugged his way into helmet on helmet. The rule sucks.
  24. Illegal toss was illegal and should have been called, but it almost never is. But yeah. It was a penalty. Annoying because it looked like he'd naturally broken the tackle and would have been able to fall into the end zone anyway if the dude would get out of his way. I'm not sure I've ever actually seen the penalty called though. Asking for an OPI is bullshit. The coverage didn't turn his head. Did he let the guy run into him while he measured it and create coverage? Sure. He'd have overrun it if he didn't though. Every receiver does that and they'll always get the DPI call too. This is a nonstarter IMO. I don't really have an opinion on the Bond hit. Could have been called. A lot of stuff could have been called. Both OL's were holding all game long, but the Big Ten refs don't call that.
  25. ASU fan again. The targeting non-call is getting overblown. Was it targeting? Yes. By the rules, it was. Was it a malicious hit? No. Your dude was trying to make a play. The refs were scared to make the call because targeting is a horrible fucking penalty in that there's no difference between incidental and maliciousness. As such, refs tend to be reluctant to call it in critical moments because it's such a nebulous thing and it means dude is out for half of the next game too. I think everyone knows it's an overly punitive penalty. It needs to be changed. If it's just 15 yards, that's called 100 times out of 100. I'd have loved it if Shamari Simmons was able to play the whole game. First thing he did when he got back in was light your guy up and force a safety. Maybe we're not down so bad to start the game if we have our best defensive player. I get the no call. Refs don't want to decide this game or the next game in the playoffs. Moreover, people act like it's a forgone conclusion that ASU would have won in regulation- Dillingham was only sort of joking when he asked for student tryouts for kicker during the season. There's no reason to be confident ASU was gonna win in regulation. In a perfect world, it's a 15 yard penalty with no implications for the next game. ASU had you guys just about beat in OT anyway. Then they showed pressure twice in a row on 4th down. 1st time your boy jumped. Showed it again and Ewers made the right check and Dillingham openly said it was his mistake for not having the ability to check out of his all in blitz against max protect. ASU didn't disguise it well and got caught. Sucks. Thought we played well enough to win, but we've got a lot of dudes coming back. There will always be shitty, weird fans, but most folk are more proud than anything else. We know we can hang with the big boys and there's a whole bunch of people coming back. Rest is just usual post loss bitterness.
