I am hopeful but not sold on the group. At best I think we will get a two down DL and need a pass rusher on third downs.

Round 1 draft
I am really open to trading down to get picks to target these two.

Round 3
Frank Ragnow C/OG,Arkansas 6052 319 5.14 #72 Sr
Dorance Armstrong DE Kansas 6036 245 4.70 #2 Jr

I agree, I have high hopes for Sheldon, but I haven't really heard anything about him in camp. Hoping kika really gets off opposite Cam.

*He is young but I am intrigued by Muhammhed.

Fantastic news and Coach has built a pretty good line otherwise. This is just icing on the cake!

Let me say first, I really dislike Notre Dame; that said, I wouldn't be upset if we took Quenton Nelson...

I do not like Notre Dame either. Probably has something to do with my ND superfan friend whom did not even attend the school.

Trading down? You mean dropping out of the first round entirely? You know we're going to have pick #32, right?

I like acquiring picks and one thing we did this year that I liked was tried to get as much talent through the first 3 rounds as possible.
Hard to say where we will pick, but 11 seems to be a favorite of ours. This has got to be the year that ends!too much talent

I'm already reading comparisons with another former Irish player ... Zach Martin. Definitely keep an eye on this guy.

I'm glad Unger is working his way back on the field. We still need to address center in the draft.

I'd like to see 1st team offense & defense play a little bit more (possibly all of the first quarter) in pre season game #2.
