Pretty sure that dude was like 340 when he arrived, with a big arse gut. He works hard and plays hard. Mean streak like Dickerson.




dude looked like a monster coming out of high school

Glad we could theoretically get 2 more years out of him.

He and Booker come back next year. Gonna be the best guard combo in the country I think. That's huge for the run game, just gotta get tackle right.

Putting him at right guard has been one of the best personnel decisions on this team this year.

That dude is a beast. And it looks like now bad weight on him. Look at those arms man.

Yeah, his BMI for an OL is nasty. He's a vascular brick wall

Proctor is getting better every week. We’ll probably lose Latham to the draft though. So definitely need Pritchett or one of the younger guys to step up next year

Bonus: Watch what Booker does to Perkins in that clip

It’s… so beautiful.

Doubles the interior guy, then releases and finds their best defender and smashes him for the pancake…

But is he done? No he is not.

He proceeds to body him into the grass without making it an obvious roughing situation.

Guarantee Perkins was thinking about that play the next time they gave him inside gap responsibility.

Having Jaeden at RG excites me more than anything else right now with this emerging offense. Obviously Milroe’s ascendence is more impactful but Roberts gives this OL more of an edge.

Latham, Booker, Roberts and Proctor. Those guys can beat up any D front out there physically. UGA doesn’t have a Jalen Carter this year. They don’t know what’s coming.

Btw this offense looks like it could be scary next year:

Milroe at QB. Haynes, Miller and Young at RB. Booker, Roberts and Proctor returns on the OL. Niblack and Dippre at TE. Bond, Prentice, Hale, Law and Benson at WR…hopefully Cole and Preston can emerge as well.

That should be nasty. Gotta find a center. Ferguson is probably in the mix. I like McVay but im really intrigued by Olaus Alinen.

Is Latham projected to be a first rounder? I know his play shines at times but I don't feel like the consistency has been on par with many of the other first-round guys we've had at tackle.

I think McLaughlin technically could come back next year and be a super senior. He was here in 2020 and that was his first year of used eligibility and I believe that was basically a free year for everyone. I could be wrong.

I also know that position has been a frustration this year, but it's hard to see the downside of a guy that experienced coming back. If we have someone waiting in the wings then it might be best to move on.

I think the general consensus is that he'll be selected in the first round, at least based on mocked drafts that are starting to be published:
Mocked at #12 here

Mocked at #10 here

Mocked at #10 here

Mocked at #10 here

Thank you. I used to be much better at keeping up with Mock Drafts but there's so damn many of them out there now that I just kinda wait until March/April to get into it.

Seriously. It's like every day someone releases a new mock draft, it's insane.

I believe this is Dippre last year of eligibility but Caleb Odom looks like a beast coming in next year.

It's been said " the human head weighs 8 lbs"... Roberts gotta be 2 deviations North of that number. Geez that's a big dude

I wasn't exactly right. Read an article yesterday that Seth redshirted in 2020 and could come back next year as a 5th year senior. Man having four OL starters back would be nice.

Per a Charlie Potter post about Senior Day yesterday, only Reichard, Key and Dalcourt have exhausted their eligibility.

OL is actually dare I say solid now?

McLaughlin snaps and Proctor is obvious pass pro situations are the only 2 weaknesses I can think of

Seems like the snaps have been cleaned up since the bye week. Proctor has gotten better but I still don't want him on an island against an elite rusher.
