We'll see how this ages... I'm looking at the rankings right now though and see a few guys that just kind of pop that I think will be better than their draft slot if it sticks.

TE Benjamin Yurosek, Stanford
TE Dallin Holker, Colorado State (BYU transfer)
OT Kiran Amegadjie, Yale
OT Zion Nelson, Miami
OG Sataoa Laumea, Utah
OG/C Michael Jurgens, Wake Forest
NT Dontay Corleone, Cincinnati
DT DeWayne Carter, Duke

Man, that's a hell of a pedigree.

I'd have a hard time NOT pulling the trigger if his measurables are good.

Can you imagine the Rice and Rice boys?

Might be an option for KC in round 2 if they go WR there, then. I saw you pull Polk in your mock, but Rice would be a workable option, too.

Gotta imagine that Veach, Reid, and Mahomes would all approve as well.

Weird that Rice Jr isn't getting similar praise as Harrison Jr.

I wonder if he will climb after the combine.

Jacob Cowing, WR, Arizona.

Recently was clued in to him by my brother-in-law. Really effective slot guy. Not big, not crazy fast, but good at separating against man, good hands, good straight-line speed.

I just came here to post him. He's super quick and gets immediate separation. He can put guys in a spin cycle and can make people miss. His cuts on his routes are extremely precise. Not to get too hyperbolic, but he reminds me a bit of Tyreek--Dollar Store Tyreek, maybe, but there's a lot to like with his game.

Saw WR Trey Harris, Ole Miss, on ESPNs "Best 100 college football players" list above several notable names (WR Keon Coleman for example)... curious what you guys make of that? He's a late round pick on the mock draft boards, what's the deal with him?

I saw him with 3rd/4th round grades in most places I visit. If he runs well, he's going to jump IMO. Don't see him above round 2 but he's a guy I like a ton. I mean, no rock goes unturned but I was kind of hoping he'd be a guy Veach could snag with a 4th. Don't look like that'll be a thing, potentially. Might end up being a low of 3rd.
