Ohio State's OL Coach Justin Frye to be named as AZ Cards new OL Coach

[Cbus cardsfan]

Let’s all hope he improves the interior of this unit.

They were mediocre to bad during big games.

Did you watch the college football playoffs? The entire OL was good and they were playing 4 backups/guys out of position.
Their bad game was against Michigan where they were trying to get a rhythm while going against 2 top 25 picks in the interior.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

I like the fact he also has OC experience.

 

[TheCardFan]

That OSU team was stacked - he will have great insight into the roster.

The oline of course but also...
Jacks Sawyer vs JTT
Tyleik, Denzel Burke, TreVeyon, Sonny Styles, Cody Simon, etc.

OSU is likely going to tie UGA for most guys drafted in a year. They have 15 guys that are likely to be drafted.

17	OT	Josh Simmons
21	WR	Emeka Egbuka
37	DT	Tyleik Williams
38	DE	Jack Sawyer
39	OL	Donovan Jackson
43	DE	JT Tuimoloau
59	RB	TreVeyon Henderson
65	RB	Quinshon Judkins
72	QB	Will Howard
88	CB	Denzel Burke
100	DT	Ty Hamilton
103	S	Lathan Ransom
172	C	Seth McLaughlin
204	LB	Cody Simon
233	CB	Jordan Hancock

So do we give the OL the nickname "The Frye Guys"?

 

[MadCardDisease]

Simmons at RT is sounding better by the minute.

 

[BritCard]

I like OT in the draft but it's really got to only be if all good DT and Edge are gone.

 

[Chopper0080]

Simmons at RT is sounding better by the minute.

Not for me at 16 personally.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Not for me at 16 personally.

me either.

 

[Stout]

Not for me at 16 personally.

It would be the absolute height of stupidity.

 

[b8rtm8nn]

It would be the absolute height of stupidity.

Oh, there are many, many more things that can trump that level of stupidity...imagine if we took a DB or RB at 16?

 

[Totally_Red]

Simmons at RT is sounding better by the minute.

16 is too high. Maybe with a trade down to the 20s.

 

[Harry]

Virtually everyone thinks Jackson in Round 2 if he lasts that long! That would be a little ahead of some higher ranked guys on my board.

He's pretty damn good. Probably would have been 1st team all-American had he played guard all year. But he did a very nice job moving to LT mid-year after the Simmons injury.

 

[CardNots]

16 is too high. Maybe with a trade down to the 20s.

I see trading down as a high probability.

 

[oaken1]

Not for me at 16 personally.

It would be a hard pill to swallow.
But if Pearce, Green, and Nolen are gone I wouldn't be pissed. Just not thrilled

 

[ajcardfan]

Not for me at 16 personally.

If we draft another OT at number 16 I will probably go play in freeway traffic.

 

[Chopper0080]

If we draft another OT at number 16 I will probably go play in freeway traffic.

It's the coming off of an injury and the defensive front really needs help for me. Something does need to be done about the OL, especially if Jonah is out long term, but I don't believe this is the draft class to toss a 1st rounder at it.

 

[BritCard]

There are too many good DT's and Edge players to draft anything else in round 1.

Grant, Nolen, Walker, Harmon and I think Darius Alexander shoots up boards after the senior bowl. I imagine he's already much higher on team boards, just analysts haven't got to the Toledo tape yet. Then Pearce, Walker, Stewart, Green and Scourton at Edge.

If the guy you really want ain't at #16 you trade back and get one of the others. While OT would be the 3rd option for me it would take some weird combination of events to draft one at #16.
