I think he played one game at RG. They should consider trying him out there.

Didn't he improve at RT? He was serviceable ... Keep him, our OL is so poor we need all the bodies we can get our hands on. We played a bunch of nobodies at times during the year.

He improve from trash to below average/mediocre. That footwork is still atrocious to me, but I guess it don’t hurt to run it back.

Even if he improved from a D+ to a C-, he's still serviceable. That plus we have ZERO cap space to go shopping and bringing in yet another project from the NCAA sets this team backwards even further. I'll keep Baby Hughey. Bad feet and all.

I wouldn’t pass up on a Kelvin Banks, Jr., Will Campbell, or Josh Simmons simply because we made a mistake when we chose Penning. If we can come away with one of those Tackles and a Tate Ratledge or a Tyler Booker then we’re building for the future in the right way in my opinion. The only lineman I’d keep is Fuaga and McCoy. Everybody else can go.

At worst, keep him around as a serviceable back-up. Bring in a stud RT and let them compete.

OG's in the mid-rounds.
