I did not create this list, from a post on another football discussion platform. But I thought it was pretty accurate.
 
I’m not sure wirfs has nfl tackle feet but id draft him and find out. If not it’s an easy kick inside.

I think he goes closer to 5 than 10
 
Didn't see Okwara out there on ND's first offensive series, #42 right ?

Keeping an eye on Marcel Spears for IS, also looking at Purdy for next year's draft, not a great start for him with the fumble.

Ian Book looking good early on here and that's a hell of a catch by Claypool, he's a big frame and pretty athletic could be an interesting mid/late rounder.

Me likey. I'm not taking him with our 2nd rounder though. Strong consideration to the New Orleans pick or our 3rd for sure. Would love him in the third.

If you take a QB at 5, I don't think picks 1b, 1c or 2a can be a RB. It would be hard to pass on a potential starting OL, DL or DB for a tailback.

If you trade out of the 5th spot and add more resources a guy like this enters the equation.

I could see the team in Florida to the West/North liking this kid in the 2nd round, if available.

I’ve been keeping an eye on Ian Book. I don’t see him talked about much. But he has some talent.

I thought was very impressive today, not sure how his arm strength measures but I thought he really showed a lot, maybe a late round bargain for someone.

Chase Claypool though for me was the star, that kid is mighty impressive, his frame, he's a monster, plays with a lot of fire, effort levels are excellent and for a huge man he's pretty shifty too. Maybe we are not in the market for another big wideout, since Williams and Parker both fill that role but if this showing is indicative of the kid, then add another impressive wideout to this stacked receiver class.
 
6 TD's for Burrow so far, the kid has been phenomenal in a phenomenal season. Cincy are getting one hell of a QB.

Oh and it's not even half time yet !!

Edit: 7 TD's at the half, lol.

Chaisson has really flashed for LSU, of course Burrow and Jefferson with 4 td catches, I've like the look of Vincent. I continue to be underwhelmed with Delpit and Fuller though.

For OU, Ceedee Lamb has stood out once again, I don't think Hurts has hurt his draft stock at all in this lopsided game, Not been watching Creed Humphrey but that OU line has been very leaky.

Chaisson has been great today. He’s been everywhere around that line making plays, or applying pressure.

Lamb has looked good as well. But his body language near the end of half looked like he stopped caring.
 
This is unbelievable! And tell me again how our wins this year weren’t meaningless! We could have easily gotten the first pick!

I'm a huge Tua fan, but honestly I don't know what I would do with our pick if I had to chose between the two of the. Tua has the years of production but the hip injury changes things, Burrow's only knock is the one year production, but my god how can you knock him for that when you are seeing what he's done all season long, especially in these huge games. Cincy have the easiest decision ever to make, it really could have been us, as you say.

:dead:

I remember back earlier this season no one wanted Burrow. Tua was so much better etc etc. god forbid you say anything good about Burrow. Tua cult would pounce on you. Him and his weak arm. Now everyone is up in arms we didn’t lose out to take this kid.

Obviously Fitz is not the long term answer. But I don’t think you have to purposely throw games to get a Franchise QB. As stated in many many posts on our beloved Finheaven, lots of franchise guys starting now and in past has come later in the draft. I’ll remain optimistic that Flo, Grier, and some of the new scouting staff can find a franchise guy.
