Yeah, he had a good repourt with both guards and very few poor snaps. Centre becomes the number 1 need, hope the front office new before FA and this has not been dumped on them late

Worst thing to happen to team since zebras dumped on us.

Unger was great for us. Wish him all the best. Last few games he didn't play that great, maybe he wanted to finish his career still at the top of his game. That trade was one of the better deals Loomis made.

Hoping Clapp or Tom take it to the next level!

Erik McCoy*, C/G, Texas A&M
Height: 6-3. Weight: 310. Arm: 32.63. Hand: 9.25.
Projected 40 Time: 5.10.
Projected Round (2019): 1-2.
3/16/19: At the NFL Scouting Combine, McCoy was phenomenal with a great workout, a freaky 40 time, and a good round of interviews. McCoy could sneak into the first round, and if slips to Round 2, he should be selected quickly.

McCoy played well for Texas A&M and decided to skip his senior year to enter the 2019 NFL Draft. He could be a plug-and-play starter at guard or center. It would be ideal for him get more powerful, but McCoy has a lot of good tape, including his performances against Clemson and Alabama last year.

McCoy has strong hands and is able to control defenders when he latches on them. He has decent feel and awareness, plus is athletic. McCoy shows a nice ability to hit blocks on the perimeter, at the second level, and in the open field. In the ground game, McCoy is not a powerful pile mover and does not generate a lot of movement in the run game. Hence, he should add more functional strength for the NFL.

8/28/18: McCoy started at guard and center for the Aggies during the 2017 season after being the starter at center during his freshman year. McCoy has good size to him, and his run blocking is ahead of his pass protection. For the NFL, he could fit as a guard or a center.


Garrett Bradbury, C, N.C. State
Height: 6-2. Weight: 304. Arm: 32.5. Hand: 10.63.
Projected 40 Time: 5.05.
Projected Round (2019): 2-3.
3/16/19: Bradbury continued his strong postseason with a good combine performance. He showed his quickness and athleticism in Indianapolis. At the Senior Bowl, Bradbury had a solid week of practice.

Bradbury is a quick center who is athletic at the point of attack. He has steadily added weight since playing tight end in high school and could be a second-day pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Bradbury broke into the starting lineup as a redshirt sophomore. In 2017, he had a good season protecting Ryan Finley and opening holes for Nyiem Hines and Jaylen Samuels.

Elgton Jenkins, C, Mississippi State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 314. Arm: 34.25. Hand: 10.
Projected 40 Time: 5.05.
Projected Round (2019): 1-3.
3/16/19: Team sources have told me they graded Jenkins in the second round, and he looks like a potential plug-and-play starter in the NFL. Other teams are not as high on Jenkins. Jenkins was a steady blocker in the middle of the Mississippi State offensive line in 2018, and his strong play earned him an invitation to the Senior Bowl. Jenkins had a solid week in Mobile.

At the point of attack, Jenkins is quick to the second level and does a nice job of beating defenders to a spot to wall them off. He is quick, agile, and athletic on the inside with the ability to fire to the second level. Jenkins is very effective at double-team combo blocks with guards and is reliable to get gaps open with his double-team skills. In pass protection, Jenkins has a good anchor with the size to handle bull rushes. He may not grade out as a first-round pick, but he could be a good second-day selection who is a plug-and-play starter in the NFL.

8/28/18: According to NFL teams' preseason data provided by team sources, Jenkins checks in at 6-foot-4, 304 pounds. He is said to run the 40 in a quick 5.05 seconds. His arms measure at 34.25 inches, his hands at 10.13 inches, and his wing span at 83.38 inches.

Jenkins is a athletic and quick interior blocker who has been very impressive for the Bulldogs over the past two seasons. Sources who have done some advance work for the 2019 NFL Draft say that Jenkins has impressed them and possesses early-round potential. Jenkins has good size to be a starting center in the NFL, and it will be interesting to see how he handles the change in offense under the new Mississippi State coaching staff.

Michael Jordan*, C/G, Ohio State
Height: 6-6. Weight: 312.
Projected 40 Time: 5.20.
Projected Round (2019): 2-3.
3/16/19: Jordan moved to center in 2018 and proved to be a good starter there, which really improves his value for the NFL. In speaking with sources, they see Jordan as a potential second-day pick. Some scouts who were through Ohio State told me that they thought that Jordan was unlikely to enter the 2019 NFL Draft, but after the season, he announced he was skipping his senior year instead.

8/28/18: According to NFL teams' preseason data provided by team sources, Jordan checks in at 6-foot-6, 312 pounds. He is said to run the 40 in 5.20 seconds. His arms measure at 34.63 inches, his hands at 10.25 inches, and his wing span at 84 inches. He has excellent size and length for guard, and his measureables would fit as a tackle.

Jordan broke into the starting lineup as a freshman at guard and showed improvement in 2017 as a sophomore. Jordan should keep up the recent tradition of early-round interior line prospects from Ohio State. He has good size to go with strength and athleticism. After gaining experience and developing, Jordan could dominate as a junior and senior to become an early-round pick in his draft class.

"Two receivers to the left, Garcon to the right. Manning in the shotgun, puts Collie in motion. Looks in his direction...it's picked off! It's picked off! It's Tracy Porter again! He's runnin' free! He's gonna go all the way!

Zebra's dumping on us was worse, but not by much.

Yikes, that's a real kick in the junk. I wish him the best, but...c'mon man!

There are a couple of serviceable options on the market. I hope they move swiftly to address this. Ideally Clapp would step up and become the guy, but I sure don't feel comfortable going into camp with that assumption.

neugey

Well at least we know a month or so before the draft and early on in free agency. But it's going to be a big spot to fill.

Crazy timing...






Wonder if there is more to the story. He is walking away from millions.

Class act and a great loss. Will Clapp will be able to step in, IMHO. Still need more beef up front.
