He’s only started nine games in his college career for one and is also coming off tightrope surgery for an ankle injury. Pass. For Mims, the pre-draft testing period will be huge. As you note, not much tape to go on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure it's on Taylor. This offense has been pass-wacky for a very long time, even in years where the run game was outstanding. Have to assume it's coming from the top.

That helped Meatchicken enormously in 2023, maybe it will work for OSU in 2024. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texbengal Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Really think the trenches is where the focus needs to and will be in the draft. Jonah likely gone, isht for depth… Hill, Smith and Carman didn’t play a snap. Granted, OL was insanely healthy… but Cody Ford is your number one off the bench? Ugh. After Carman seemed to play well in the playoffs, he’s out of the picture completely? Maybe he’s the leader in the clubhouse at RT, not sure. DT is an isht show. BJ Hill is the only guy under contract who can play. At TE, assuming Hudson, Sample and Wilcox all re-sign, that’s it. Too bad Hudson can’t block bc he’s a very good receiver and he’s earned the QBs’ trust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should try to re-sign Reader and think we could do so but not sure the team will pay him. His market value is probably around what he's making now. Boyd and Awuzie will be gone and probably Jonah too. So I'd be looking for a RT, TE, and WR to start. PDJ had an interesting thought about slot. Charlie Jones was taken as heir apparent but didn’t do enough this year. I think k he needs to get bigger and stronger and it sounds like he has a lot to learn about playing slot, since he was really more of an outside WR in college. Deb we suggested that it’s a really strong WR class but also that there will be FA vets who will be willing to take a 1-year deal to play with Joe, and bet on themselves and get another contract… like Hurst and CJ did. I like the idea of getting a vet to compete that that spot. Still have high hopes for Charlie and Andre and really like Irwin, too. Hate the guy but JuJu (not sure of contract) would be intriguing. He gets open and Mahomes missed not having him this past year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Yeah - I’m glad PDJ brought that to light a little bit. This team cannot afford to rely on him being the guy next year. I really expect another day 2 pick to be made at receiver with a free agent tight end to supplement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sign him long term I'm cool signing a 1 year Vet and waiting till next year to get a slot WR in the draft. I'm not cool with having to draft 2 WRs high to replace both Tyler and Tee in the same year. As we will also be replacing Mixon next year (25) too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it’s Will Howard’s team in 2024. Henderson and Judkins might be the best RB tandem in the country next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
