[Davesta]

Not sure if this is the extent of the list but if it is… damn

Davesta’s Mock Draft 1.0

1st: Olaivavega Ioane
2nd: Emmanuel Pregnon
3rd: Ted Hurst
4th: Nick Singleton

 

[Deebo813]

Has Donovan jackson been any good?

Also, yeah I been high on pregnon. If we did take ioane at 14, I’d still probably take pregnon at 45.

Id hate it but i think we should..atleast go two guards in first 1-4 rounds

Put vincent anthony on there too and the big guy from fsu who gets off the ball slow

Lol bruh you’d draft all OL and smoke a cigar after lol

Weirdly enough it feels like Fano keeps slipping further down the list of top guys on most lists. I feel like the odds of him being there are surprisingly good.

Can he play Guard? I keep hearing he’ll transition to Center at the next level.

#14 for a Center is too rich.

I think a lot of people would tbh

Fano could probably start at all 5 spots but with different levels of success.

He's basically a high end starter at every position on the line. Center is likely his weakest spot, but he could start there if we needed. More likely to be starting G with the upside of being able to move around if needed.

I thought his short ass arms prevents him from playing tackle.

They aren't ideal length, but it's not like he's working with stubbs. They're only about an inch shorter than the top tackle of the draft.

Fano or vega?

 

[rossihunter2]

I didn’t want to do the research so I asked ChatGBT which of course isn’t always accurate but this is the list provided

Full Corrected List (1999–Present)

1. Wyatt Teller
2. Quenton Nelson
3. Trey Smith
4. Quinn Meinerz
5. Donovan Jackson
6. Emmanuel Pregnon
7. Robert Hunt
8. Ben Cleveland
9. Netane Muti
10. Shawn Lauvao
11. Jonah Jackson (if pro-day included)

looks like none of the additions make the 88th percentile wingspan cut-off
partly because some of them were never measured for wing

also looks like wyatt teller doesn't even meet the 88th percentile threshold either tbh

 

[rossihunter2]

You with ioane is like tank with Lamar

i've got good things to say about ioane
not like tank at all

jackson's basically been what you'd hope for from a rookie OL
took a few lumps early, finished the season having grown into a consistent presence even after wrist surgery

 

[rossihunter2]

I thought his short ass arms prevents him from playing tackle.

they're not that short
remeasured at pro day

everyone's arms are going to get longer post-combine just like last year (and we'd assume it was pro day boosting of numbers, except that the senior bowl measurements the last 2 years have agreed with the pro day measurements more than the combine measurements)

i'd expect some of the "historic outliers" to just become slightly short rather than historic

 

[JoeyFlex5]

Fano or vega?

I like Fano over Vega by a lot

Or @Deebo813 when it comes to defensive PLAYERS let alone defensive backs.

 

[rossihunter2]

here's a couple of actual Ioane highlights that are real OL highlight plays:

 

[Deebo813]

Idk shit about OL but i just saw fano and his feet is slow af. It look like he moving underwater lol. Idk how important that is but dam. Im assuming thats why people want him at G?
