Lu, in all seriousness, you and me both raved about OF when he was a recruit. But despite his physical ability, and even allowing for the coaching train wreck he played through, he just wasnt that good. Waaaaaay too many mental errors. JMO. Had him lower on my chart.
He was solid here and has shown himself in the NFL. He had a very, very good year. Did you have a chance to check him out? I'm drafting the team as a hybrid college production/potential and NFL production/potential. When some of the other guys go off the board, I'll explain why he's more valuable.
If you're going off NFL production, i dont object. Ive long thought he had HOF ability. But i've tried to balance nfl and UM. And theres probably no one on anyone's board who did less at UM, relative to this caliber of player we're discussing. There's no answer and i do think he could have done more in a different role. But ****, all i see is your team getting two false starts and punting on third and thirty. You better take feagles with your next pick.
I'm kind of balancing the NFL and college thing. It's hard not to do so anyway. And, again, you saw a lot of false starts from OF because the guy was playing LT in an offense running deep 7-step drops. On this team and at his max, he's simply a mauler and potentially an inside guy. I like him a lot. I think he can see a few Pro Bowls.
The funny thing is that, had I not taken him, I virtually guarantee he's starting at LT for someone's squad on here.
