ESPN's draft guys on Edge players

Very complimentary take on Zion. Listed as #5 choice, argue he may move up to #3. Complimented his overall game, consistency, and good showing at the Senior Bowl week.

Understand your thinking and don't argue against it. Just don't think it will be reality. Wondering if getting Green to come here involved a promise to let him switch to the higher $$$ position of LT. Would not be too shocking if it was.

Hoping you are right about C. I think Wilson has a good bit more size than Dom G. and would not mind that at C at all.

I would really like to see more competition at RG and either push Peagler to really get past the lapses and problems or get out of the way.

I don't mind having a really proven tackle moving to the right side, given the high probability that we will have a left-handed QB.

It's all speculation right now. How far away is spring ball?

Hhahaha. Remember, it's only tampering or something negative if a big-money blueblood school does not like that you are doing it and reports you to the NCAA.

If it's done at Bama, North Carolina, etc.- it's just a coach catching up or checking in on the family. Not a blueblood? Let the investigations commence!!!

PowerMizzou on rumors

Expect MU to nab Lee and a young edge rusher from Miami.

Feel like we have brought in several younger players with potential this go round. Thought we were getting away from that after Nwareri and Hilson?????

Or a Special Teams coach

It's good to see he was a starter. Is Graves an upgrade over Pride? Comparable?

This is a good listen
Talks tight ends and some different things Lindsey may do with them
Compliments Atkins.
Talks about the need for a regular counter play in the run game (paging Nuke)
Need for Hardy to improve his pass blocking and add it to his resume
Discusses transfers who may take some of the passing load and protect Daniel O.
Says Simmons is not a lock due to Zollers potential
Suggests moving Guidice to C
Sees things that suggest Gracial can become next good DT
Miami DT - very disruptive
LBs good, DEs - some reasons for concern
Secondary - ?????

Fightin' that Nike money. Tough battle.

Agreed. Not many guaranteed contributors in this class thus far, forget sure "starters".

The sacks were great but he didn't make enough plays behind the line and tackles overall vs the run to get the money he is reportedly asking for. Double digit TFLs is the expectation at his position. He came close but shedding blocks vs the run wasn't something he excelled at. Smith had 4 fewer TFLs and 7 fewer tackles on far fewer reps.

This. My Dad and I had an argument soon after the Bama game about the D-ends play.
I argued Young was the best player on the line by far, because he was causing havoc for the offense on a more plays even if he did not have Wilson's sack numbers. I felt like Young and McClellan were creating more hurries, some of which Wilson cleaned up.

My dad disagreed, but he was still sore at Young for hanging over Simpson long enough to give the refs an excuse to throw the weak taunting flag.

Wonder if the K State crowd will notice the celebrations here with his departure and get a bit nervous????
