How about some defensive help like Sam Hubbard for the COLTS. Versatile player who makes things happen when on the field. Reminds me of former Buckeye MIKE VRABEL. MIGHT END UP AS THEIR 3RD TE when not playing D. Pigskin If not I like D>J> CHARK to entice LUCK to get well soon.
Just a huge upgrade for one of the worst OL in the NFL. Way to go Gettleman. Pigskin
PLayed OT primarily at Nevada, but is likely to end up inside at OG. Excelled at SR Bowl. Very solid Pick. GIANTS could have used him. How about Hernandez Mr. Gettleman!
Let’s assume john Dorsey is waiting for a phone call from someone looking to move up. But I doubt it. They still need more top talent for the roster and NOW! Go get road grader Will Hernandez/OG Dorse. Pigskin

To BPA or not to BPA … One of the intriguing elements of the 2018 draft is that while QBs are expected to go 1-2-3 – if not 1-2-3-4 – when the actual picking gets underway on the 26th, many analysts consider non-QB prospects like Penn State RB Saquon Barkley, NC State DE Bradley and Notre Dame OF… Read More »
