His injuries hurt his draft stock.chuck said:
It did hurt Kirkland's draft stock. He was bad. I suppose it didn't really matter for though he was fine at guard after they switched.RoadDawg55 said:
That was more for Kirkland and not hurting his NFL stock vs Fautanu. Fautanu is sized like a aguard but played LT in high school and was great. I think he's more comfortable playing tackle and always has been.chuck said:
Yeah even UW tried to keep Kirkland at tackle so Fautanu could move. Reversing that helped lead to the turnaround in overall OL play in 2022.AtomicDawg said:
Fautanu is playing guard I think if we had another good tackle. Not sure conerly is good. Don't twist.WoolleyDoog said:
It's crazy especially with how low the program was at the time that it's right that neither player was a huge loss, especially since with Rome, McMillan, and Polk Emeka probably means one of those guys isn't around and we know and love those guys. JTT definitely would have been elite to have across from Trice but whatever. Throw in Conerly (who still has a year left at least, I know) who you'd easily rather have Fautanu AND Rosengarten over.RaceBannon said:And the thing about Emeka is that he was the best of the two and a great Robin to Harrison as Batman. Legit player. But wideout turned out to be not an issue for the Dawgs. Germie returns punts as well as Emeka too
The tides turned my friend.
Again, shout out JTT and Emeka for not going to Oregon though as much as I hate Ohio State. -
He’s been good, but hasn’t lived up to his top recruit in the country hype. He’s great against the run but can’t beat tackles with anything other than power, and that will only become more evident at the next level. In hindsight, he really should’ve got up to 300lbs and just played interior DL where he can beat guards and centers with speed and overpower them.RoadDawg55 said:
Top 50 and probably a first rounder. He is not amazing but he's good and acting like he's not is FS.GayThoughts said:JTT will be a top 100 pick in this draft. NFL scouts are dumb and they’ll get fully sprung by his HS star rating and the Penn State game

Nick Bosa had big shoes to fill

JTT and Emeka watching UW in the playoffs is great

This is fair and I think JTT should be a DT was a sour grapes line when he didn't come to UW but probably still true. Kind of gives me the ASJ vibes where ASJ could easily be a back end Top 50 guy as a TE but could have been an elite elite OT but went the easy route. I'd say ASJ was a lot better of a college player than JTT tho.GayThoughts said:

He's a 3-4 DE in the NFL and most of those guys are basically the same type of player that you described. He will get picked fairly high for being a three year starter at Ohio State.GayThoughts said:

Yep. And 3-4 d ends in the NFL aren’t valued that highly.RoadDawg55 said:

He’s a slightly better Benning, who we tried to make a Buck until finally moving him inside where he belonged.

Did we ever figure out who the better receiver prospect was between Rome and Gee Jr?dnc said:
