Dylan Laube gets a senior bowl invite.

Cody Schrader should also get one. He's the name to keep an eye on here gentlemen. Bring him up in any conversation you have with a "normie".

As good as Dylan Laube is I believe that Cody Schrader should have received an offer first. The level of play is what the so called experts always talk about. Hopefully we will have 2 white running backs there at the minimum.

Mock drafts are dumb, especially right now. With that said the agenda is clear and my interest in the NFL has dropped immensely. No desire to see basketball on grass for me.

Penix is a system qb, wasn’t anything great in the big ten, is overaged with two bad knees. Aidan O’Connell is a very similar player with a better arm. Why would the Raiders draft a lesser version of what they have on the roster? O’Connell looks like one of the better rookies QBs this year.

At least they snuck DeJean in there at 17!

Laube is listed as a rb/wr/ow so it will be more convenient to convert him to slot receiver than Schrader.

Not saying I did anything but yesterday Braden Fiske was listed as an offensive line invite to the Senior Bowl. I made it a point to call out the pattern of White defensive linemen getting converted to offensive line. I went back and checked this morning and he is now listed as a defensive lineman invite. Maybe my noticing did something? Maybe not. But Fiske is an interior DL.

Florida WR Ricky Pearsall gets a senior bowl invite

This is great to hear. Next weekend Ricky Peasall will go over 1000 yards. He has had a good season and I'm hoping some nfl teams
can look at him like they did with Alec Pierce. He should be an outside receiver and not a slot receiver.

Good info! Y'all are ON IT!

Bringing up Cody Schrader's story more n more D2 Truman State / 6th string Walk-on etc....1st White RB to lead the SEC in Rushing in a very long time!

Want to see ALL 4 "S" named RB's on NFL Rosters one day Schrader ; Shipley ; Steele ...and Skattebo

Kinda compare Ricky Pearsall (Sr. 6'-1" 190) to the old school Arizona St/NFL Saints speedy WR Kieth Poole ...Elite type Yards per Reception stuff!

UGA's Ladd McConkey should be a Day 2 / Round 3 pick(just a Junior / 5'-11" 185) ....needs to stay /get healthy again. Will likey miss GaTech this weekend ; but hope he is ready for SECCG vs Alabama.

Cowboy Insider site Mock Draft had them taking Arkansas (via D2 Hillsdale) WR Isaac TeSlaa (Sr. 6'-4" 216) in the 7th Round

Other WR's that could land on the 53 man rosters .....Logan Loya (5'-11" 185 Sr.) Drake Stoops( 5'-10" 189 Sr.)

In the 2025 Draft Cal's Tron Grizzell(6'-4" 200 RS Soph.)..... Texas State's Joey Hobert (5'-11" 180 Jr.) could surprise . BYU's Chase Roberts (6'-4" 210 Soph.) looks like a Future Pros too with speed to burn! tho numbers have been inconsistent w carousel of QBs.

Heard some sissy 'Noles podcasters try to say Braden Fiske would make an NFL All Pro Guard one day; bet if he was Black instead; they never would have mentioned that suggestion,

Cooper Dejean going top 10 would be amazing not just for him but for young white players who want to play cb now knowing that it can be done. A great psychological boost!

Still too early for Mock Drafts. My bet is Ewers and McCarthy are both staying for another year.

McCarthy should go if Michigan wins it all.

I think he has room for improvement. NFL is a pass heavy league, Michigan is a run heavy team. McCarthy still has work to do. I just don't want one of our guys getting dumped in a bad situation (think Zach Wilson).

Early returns on invites for the Senior Bowl and Shrine game are both as expected. Looks like I managed to have my 4th burner twitter account blocked by Jim Nagy the director of the Senior Bowl. At least he is noticing me LOL.

Oregon Center Jackson Powers-Johnson declares for the draft. The best center prospect in the draft.

Wisconsin Interior OL Tanner Bortolini headed to SR Bowl! 6’4 310 and he’s had starts at RG, LG, and Center throughout his career. Maybe not as dominant as some past UW OL, but he moves well and offers a ton of versatility. Mid round pick all day.
