That would be the “HIGH” investment in the OL that I’ve been preaching.
I would love that as fact also.

if they double dip the nt should be from
Smith/Benton,Clark, Dextor SR, Ika or Couborn 1 must of these be taken to anchor the middle.
We saw some development of Leal once he was healthy and some versatility with him playing LOLB when TJ was out, so if he is the BPA I rather take a DB or WR,
his profile from nfl.com for the combine suggests his athleticism doesnt match his production.
3rd best athleticism score, but 64th in production
,,, he wasnt used properly....

Did I read that right...... Prospect grade : AVERAGE back up or special teams ? ****, we need players not STers.

If it is a late pick that is often what is targeted ST capable. As long as he isn't rd 1 - 4, I wouldn't be disappointed.
Forbes name in the national mocks (means s&>/) and chatter has cooled recently, I'm assuming some are turned off a bit regarding his weight at the combine. I think he's going to be a really good corner, regardless of his weight he has exhibited strong run support and I believe he'll put some weight back on now that the pressure to run a good 40 is over. A draft I'd be happy with is one of the top OT's in round one and Forbes at 32.

Agree, But our need is higher than an after 4th pick. Just don’t want a high pick on a STer average player.

That would go away from Andy's philosophy, which is a starter capable mentality-approach. I doubt their board has him sitting @ round 4.
Avila has versatility at guard and center, adept in pass protection. I suppose with the recent additions he would move into center competition. With Seumalo at L guard that's some serious size on the interior and if Herbig gets snaps on the right side I'm not sure our running backs will be able to squeeze through. Three guys with combined weight surpassing 1,000 pounds.
A lot of attention to the trenches and I like that.

We knew there was interest in the tackles, but a bit surprising they've had so much interest in centers given the two starting guards they've signed over the past couple of seasons. This team has always had a great center, so I'd be happy going in this direction and still feel getting a tackle and a center on day one and two would go a long way to setting up this team for success.
I mentioned him a while back. Liked his production. Doesn't shock me he is on their radar.
His production last year was outstanding but before that ok. Maybe it was the offense Purdue runs vs Iowa where he played previously. What concerns me with guys whose production came later and are entering the draft at age 23 and 24 yrs old is their ceiling. Jones will be 25 in October and was often playing against players a year or two out of highschool as was others who are entering the draft. Not saying he can't be productive at slot but I prefer younger draftees that are still maturing physically and technically that were still productive albeit a bit below Jones.
I think between 1 thru 4 a WR will get selected. (I know that is a pretty big range but anywho)
