Wonder what Simmons speed is. Not worth taking him high and then switching his position but could see him bring an ADub.

This game has me on the edge of my seat. Unfortunately, I missed a bit of the beginning of the third. I would have loved to just sit down and key in on some players.

This game is doing the exact opposite for me both teams are determined to lose. You take it, no you take it.

all the big prospects look bad Lawrence has been all over the place, chase young has been quiet all night. Simmons is not impressive but idk what there doing with him.

JK Dobbins is a stud and Okuda has been as advertised

I know I'm in the minority but I'm still not overwhelmed with Lawrence. He has a weird short arm delivery, yeah he has a very strong arm but the delivery sort of negates some of his height and he throws everything really hard, don't see many touch passes(admittedly the game winner tonight he dropped over a defender). I'm not saying he's not a great college QB or he won't be a very good NFL QB but I won't be surprised if he's not great, he needs to learn to do more than just air out every throw like a bullet.

I fully expect him to be the first pick in 2021, I'm just not sold yet like so often is the case on these super elite teams he's faced very little adversity so far, there were times tonight he looked very pedestrian back there.

Oklahoma cornerback Parnell Motley finished the year strong. He is projected to be a late round guy.

OSU asserted their muscle in the 1st half, and had Lawrence on his heels and back. He answered and then some. This was a game which Clemson could've easily lost, possibly big! He's had some great tests in the college playoffs and hasn't disappointed. He's a leader.

He looked pedestrian because he was under heavy pressure all night. He really proved his toughness though... I agree about his release but he’s 6’5”-6’6” so it shouldn’t be a deterrent.

And he’s a freak of nature...

Lawrence reminded me of college Cam and Tebow at the game tonight, in different ways.

Both are going to be very good NFL qbs. As much a lock as one could get.

I can see what you're saying, although he is only a sophomore and I think some of those things can be corrected and he seems like a humble kid who is coachable. Not sure if he'll be a superstar or and average NFL caliber QB but he's a player that could be fun to watch in the years to come

yes. I think some of the hype is about projection: "if he is this good as a freshman, imagine what he will be as a junior" im not sure how much he has progressed
