Anyone watching? Vegas looks packed.

Travon Walker goes first.

Gonna be a Dawg show tonight.

Gonna be a Dawg show tonight.

Hell, it ought to be.

 

[OldDevilDawg]

Definitely 4 in the first round, possibly 6. Projections have 10 Dawgs in the first 62 picks.

 

[Proud_Okie]

Thibodeaux to the Giants. This is an EDGE heavy first round.

Riddle me this. Why do QBs always win the Heisman but the top 5 in the draft are defensive players?

QBs are the face. The Heisman is the best offensive player, usually QB, on one of the best teams in the country. I wonder if as a few more years go by if more people will start voting for outstanding defensive players.

By definition:

The Heisman Memorial Trophy (usually known colloquially as the Heisman Trophy or The Heisman) is awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football.

Surprised Evan Neal wasn't the #1 tackle off the board.

But is it always?

He's a stud.

A good QB has a longer shelf life? Also, more marketable?

In today's world, hardly ever.

Do they, though? Heisman winning QBs don't exactly have a great track record translating to the NFL game.

 

[Proud_Okie]

Speaking of QBs, which one will be drafted first?

IMO, Malik Willis is the best one on the board. He doesn't have the height that the NFL likes at 6 foot and a 1/2 inch, but he's 220lb with a big arm and good feet.

I just meant QB's not Heisman winners

 

[Proud_Okie]

That's 2 wide receivers from tOSU.

I'm curious to see where/if Brock Purdy goes.
