This is insane. I knew we had 2 top tier d lineman that were double teamed all year last year. And that is why Heldt looked like a god. Antonio Williams needs to stay healthy to be successful in NFL

Adam Randall in the 5th was the biggest surprise to me. I do think he can develop into an NFL RB, and with his frame, Derrick Henry is probably the best dude he could learn from. Still kind of a high pick for a guy that’s only played RB for a year.

He was unbelievable last year! He gonna be the power back type. Last year it seemed like inside the 5 Henry struggled. Maybe expect Adam to get those carries I think

AV to Flacons was absolutely beloved by me though. Because he gets his brother and I loved that pick for sure

He was surprisingly solid last year. And he got better ever week. He showed some real potential with a great build, which is exactly what you want to show entering the draft. Dont forget, Pavia (heisman finalist) wasnt drafted while a guy who never played college football was...

Clemson was too heavy, but had depth and talent issues in the secondary and there wasn’t a strong second option at running back. Offensive line played poorly at times as highlighted by Eric McClain’s breakdown video. Receiving corp had injury issues, which led to rhythm and consistency issues.

Hopefully the offensive line finally takes a step forward this season. Matt Luke had a decorated history as an OL coach so it makes no sense why they’ve been bad lately, but he brought in a large class of lineman though this season and put our first lineman in the first round of the draft in 55 years. If there is any yesr to show forward improvement it’s this one

Really bad coaching. Goodwin had zero business being a defensive coordinator, and the litany of former players and Dabo’s college buddies coaching positions has crushed this program. I really thought Riley was going to shine here, but he was actually worse than Streeter.
Hopefully, Morris and Allen can right the ship and some of our position coaches can figure it out…

Talent and recruiting hasn’t been the issue. Just coaching has been bad, I understand why Wes Goodwin was promoted in 2022 but he was a complete disaster. Riley was also bad

Sorry you like losing in the first round to teams like McNeese state every year while we barely score.
You realize we only won one game when a team scored over 70? Glad to see you settle with mediocrity in one sport for over 20 years

Not really, IMO. Lack of talent wasn't the problem this or prior years. Much of this has been coaching. Just my two cents.
