FM will be drafted between 8 and 14 IMO.
So are all declarations final now as far as who is entering the draft and who is returning to school?
Yes, though apparently players who have declared can still back out. But no one else can declare.
And the players where were in the national championship game are on a different time frame, and I donāt think that has passed yet. But it will soon.

Malachi Lawrence as the top guy at the Shrine Bowl isnāt too surprising. Wonder if he ends up being a late Sr. bowl add

Galko talked about him on Daneās show too. Heās going pretty early I guess.

Fran Duffyās Shrine Bowl overview. Lake McCrae seems relevant to us given the dearth of TEās of that profile and our sudden apparent need.

So the reason Lucas didnāt look 285lbs is that heās not 285lbs.
Makes a lot of sense.
I saw Harold Perkins checked in at 222, pretty good number for him.
Darrell Jackson is huge. 6ā5+, 328, 11 inch hands, 35 inch arms.
Yep. And a team that scoutās the peaks is going to fall in love for him. Some of the highlights are my gawd sorts of plays. Personally Iāve always had the impression that he didnāt really love football much.
Right around 220 was what I was expecting for Perkins. Really excited to follow his career. Just donāt think it will be with us. I could see Dallas being interested on day 2.
Iāve heard the same criticism of Jackson. I havenāt deep-dived him yet, but for sure a couple of times you sit up and take notice of him.
33.5 inch arms for Malachi Lawrence. Maybe the fact that he wasnāt as freakishly long as listed keeps his stock in check?
And heās sub 250
Oh I didnāt even notice that. Yeah, might not be our type. He looks bigger than that, though I didnāt think he was huge. 260ish was my guess.
He plays rather violent. Not sure if thatās enough to mitigate the lack of mass.
I still maintain that Derrick Moore is a guy that does fit us really well. He needs to play the run better but he seems to have the traits to do so at a competent level. Is he in Mobile?

His size makes him really enticing. He has the build I thought Lawrence had, honestly (though Lawrence is clearly a little lankier). Heās currently a confirmed Senior Bowl participant, yes, but you know how these things can go. Hopefully that stays true through the event.
Did you see Bain is going? And plans to do everything? Brad is gonna fall so hard for that guy.
For sure. I think that weāre going to love Jacas as well.
We will. And he comes with a big discount.

Eric Gentry is every bit as peculiar of a specimen as we had assumed. I wish he would have been in the league during peak cover 2 days.
Yeah I saw. He really stood out on the summer measurements list. Heās like a pterodactyl.
Heās really instinctive with his drops too. But between how light he is and his inherent leverage disadvantage he seems unworkable in the run game.
Aamil Wagner with some impressive length. Still like him as a Redshirt OT type if we end up having that luxury.
