I really think Love would be a great pick. To have another play maker on offense and have a great run game would make us so much better.

You better use the 2nd pick on a guard and draft Lew or Slaughter with your 3rd or 4th. Our offensive line sucks! Ain’t no running back getting anywhere with this line.

I agree, but you’re not picking guard in the first.

Agree, need to run the ball and rush the passer to advance in the playoffs.

I disagree with this. Banks is good, McCoy is good(Fortner was good in his stead) and Fuagua is good. The guard play was just so bad, specifically Ruiz, that it made our whole line look bad. Banks and Fuagua should both improve as well, with one being a rookie and the other changing sides this year. My point being, one good FA signing at a non premier position, could elevate the group to good very quickly.

Respectfully, I agree that Banks was good this year. Fuaga was not. I don’t know if it was an injury or switching sides or what, but he was okay at best. McCoy has played in 12 of 36 games the last two years. Ruiz is terrible. It would be better to have a traffic cone out there than him. Who is our LG? Does anyone even know? There aren’t a ton of FA guards on the market and we don’t have a lot of cap space to sign a good one.

Basically, you aren’t fixing this line by a FA signing.

Detractors will say, muh Oline will get him killed.

The reality is Mickey will sign at least 1 top OG in FA and Love brings much more to the table than running the ball. He's a serious threat out of the backfield receiving the ball.

If he's on the board a #8 they pick him if they do not trade down.

I’d take Love over Bain and Tyson. But not over Downs or Bailey.

If we take Love, I’d want to get an OG in the second, in addition to bringing in a FA OG. If we’re going all in on young offensive skill players like RB and QB, we need to go all in on protecting them and opening up running lanes too.

there's a lot of big OL men available in the middle rounds. Will get someone.


Im a fan of drafting Love if some other targets are gone.

frick that. He only played 2 defenses in 12 games and didn't total 50 yds. Hard pass.

Don't understand the RB want on this board. We have 3 more than capable if we have a DECENT Oline.

Love is a legit game changer. Having a core of Shough, Love, and Olave would be a great future

If Notre Damn played legit competition all year one would know better if he’s a game changer.

Allen began his college football career with the Reedley Tigers before transferring to the Wyoming Cowboys.

Colston played for the Pride. Bob and June or something
