20% (less since we are going 16-0) through the season thought it would be fun to keep tabs on these guys. Chime in if I miss any
Bond- Stud. Receiver 1 as advertised
Golden- stud. Quinn’s favorite target when he needs to score in the red zone or a tough conversion
Bolden- more down than up. I expect a couple big plays soon- and think he will get one (at least) in the return game at a key point in time. Just behind some dudes absolutely balling
Niblick- stock way down. Helm and Davis have boxed him out- hope for some good stuff next year when they move on and Washington appears to be the only other receiving weapon at TE
SMU- RB- glad he’s here with guys going down as break glass in case of emergency. Be interesting to see if he or Colin Page get 2nd half carries in blow outs with a shallow RB room
3 DT’s- made some plays. Depth that’s needed on the DL- glad they are here
Trey Moore- stud- hasn’t gotten the QB on the ground but makes lots of winning plays
Bama LB- gone- not sure why he ever showed up in the first place.
San Jose ST Corner- hasn’t cracked the main rotation yet- glad he’s here. Look forward to seeing him acclimate and battle for starting position next year
Makuba- awesome. Big part in making the secondary transition from actual weakness to one of best in country through his own play, intelligence, and being able to allow Barron to play CB (along with some other guys).
did I miss anyone?
I’ve got 4 guys getting drafted from this class at the end of this year, Moore, Makuba, Bond and Golden, a couple who can’t get on the field because the guys in front of them are breaking out in an NFL way (Cb and Niblick), some solid rotation players (DT’s), and a couple emergency guys.
