Re: 2023 HBCU Combine

Any QBs? I heard there were several with as many career nfl playoff wins as Derek Carr who are younger and would cost less.

I watched every JSU game this past season. I didn’t see one QB they played against that looked the part. That’s not speaking on every HBCU QB, just the ones that played JSU.
NCCU’s Davius Richard is the only QB that had any success against JSU.

Mark Evans III - Oline

Arkansas Pine Bluff

Last time we drafted a lineman from a HBCU (coincidentally same college), it was T Armstead.

We do need a big ugly lineman in the draft to protect whatever quarterback we have under Center. I would like to see us draft two offensive lineman.

Penning should be taking over LT this season. McCoy is a fixture at center. Ruiz turned into our most reliable lineman last season at RG. Ramcyzk is still a stud at RT. Hurst is still around for depth, as are Landon Young and Lewis Kidd. I can definitely see trying to get a potential starter at LG early and depth elsewhere later.

Most importantly, we need whomever we have to be healthy enough to remain on the field.

Injuries happen, now more than ever with just how they handle them organizationally. We need quality depth that can not only start but also supplant the current crop of OL. We should always strive to get better players than we currently have, no matter the position group, especially with the current cap implications.

+1.

Not just depth, but quality depth is paramount.
