    Ok… The guy’s been a DBs coach for like 18 years. He’s never been promoted or stayed anywhere more than a few years while being related to guys who have flown through the coaching ranks. But sure, recruiting one guy who panned out in 18 years is huge.

    Look out, boyz! With a roster this loaded, Terry might just hover around the top 25 all season and eke out a tourney win again this year!

    He’s not a good safeties coach, either. Moving around the problem doesn’t solve the problem.

    This is a weird guy to bring this up on. I don’t think Austin Jordan needs Sark’s input to figure out he’s not starting over Jahdae Barron next fall. He’s going into year 3 with no prospect of starting or even playing much. Not that surprising he would want to transfer somewhere for playing time. This is a symptom of having a top 5 roster. UGA and Bama have guys like this transfer out regularly. After 12 years of wandering the desert, We’re finally at the point where we’re no longer taking that guy from Bama or UGA and instead have our own leaving. So you’re saying we’re going into Year 4 of Joseph coaching CBs with a success on the field and massive NIL resources and he’s still struggling to recruit/develop legitimate outside CBs? Sounds like a guy who needs to go.

    Joseph would have to learn to coach a first position before he can learn a second.

    He’s a nickel/safety. Him playing outside CB probably wouldn’t go well. Same for Barron, but Barron would be better outside than Guilbeau if we had to pick.

    Huh? Denver gave up next to nothing for Wilson. He’s not going to change their plans at QB.

    Teams will only have about 20 guys graded as first rounders each year, so this is pretty standard.

    @HtownHorn exists, sir.

    This is a really good and relevant point in the context of Arch Manning’s career plans. Thank you for your contribution.
  11. Burt Macklin
    I think we all know how that will measure out.

    JFC, man. This does not apply to QBs at all. Good QBs regularly play into the late thirties these days, so rushing to the second contract doesn’t matter. If anything, it’s the opposite for QBs. They get rushed into playing in the NFL, so having an extra year of playing and developing in college helps them be ready to succeed and maximize their earnings.

    Unless these are your personal rankings, swap Pinex and McCarthy. McCarthy is largely expected to go top 10. Penix is end of 1st/early 2nd. Even if you zoom out to the whole first round, the hit rate for TE in the first round isn’t good relative to other positions. TE is also the position most closely correlated with an elite RAS score, like top 10 percentile and up. Bowers is small for the position, so he would’ve had to test off the charts to get near that number, and there’s probably a reason why he never tested for teams, even at his pro day. So I can see why teams in the top 10 have some pause. Having said all that, I would still take him top 10 and it may happen. I think he’ll go somewhere between 7 and 13.

    I mean, he was a huge part of why our secondary is questionable. He’s blown more coverages than anyone since he got here and doesn’t appear to have the mental ability/eyes to play Quarters. He was routinely blowing coverages on Quarters-beaters that require a DB to stay disciplined in their reads. He also wasn’t a guaranteed starter next year, so it hurts depth, but it’s not the end of the world, especially when you take into account opportunity cost of NIL money and a possible transfer addition between now and the Fall.

    You’ve said a lot of really stupid shit on this site, but this one might take the cake. And 20 minutes later, a new competitor has entered the ring!
  16. Burt Macklin
    I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the WRs left. Between Wingo, Cook, and all the transfers, somebody will get squeezed out of playing time, and it ain’t gonna be Wingo or Cook.
  17. Burt Macklin
    Ehhh. The Mannings have been extremely patient with Arch, and I expect that will continue with his NFL decision. It’s far from a given Arch leaves after one year of starting, and Lacey seems to be aware of that.
  18. Burt Macklin
    Yeah, I would guess the O/U for QBs in round 1 is 4.5. 4 seems like a lock, but Penix and Nix are both questionable to go round 1. Basically a toss up of whether a team tries to sneak into the end of the first or just wait until Day 2.
  19. Burt Macklin
    Are you trying to say Terry Joseph is not a good coach/developer of talent? I am shocked.
  20. Burt Macklin
    I can think of at least one shop that would be willing to print those for you.
  21. Burt Macklin
    I’ve been drinking since before the Spring Game today, and you expect me to read stuff…accurately?
  22. Burt Macklin
    I hate to break this you, but it’s going to be pretty hard for us to win the Big 12 this year.
  23. Burt Macklin
    Why is it shocking? He came in super raw, and he’s only in his second year. Guys like him take time, and he has a bunch of 4th year guys ahead of him. He wouldn’t be if Broughton was at practice. He’s also one of two true NTs on the roster, so that probably has something to do with it. He’s likely going to get pushed down when we add another guy who can play NT in the coming weeks.
  24. Burt Macklin
    Because he’s not one of our 4 best DTs right now.
  25. Burt Macklin
    I would take the 2022 DT room over this year (as of right now), but they’re in the ballpark. My biggest concern is that both Collins and Broughton are guys who have flashed and made an impact at times, but they’re inconsistent. I don’t love the idea of them starting next to each other, as both have been iffy against the run at times. Savea is very solid against the run so maybe he becomes a running mate with one of them to solidify that. I assume our top 4 DTs will get a similar amount of snaps, so who’s technically starting isn’t all that important. For context, our 2022 team only gave up 3.5 yds per carry, which was 15th in the country. Last year, we jumped to 2.9 and 5th in the country.
