Vorhees could be a blessing in disguise. My understanding was that if he was not injured he would have been a top pick
Davesta

Projected round 3/4.
Even so, hard to rely on someone coming off an injury and technically on his rookie year. Especially with our injury history.
I would love to sign Zeitler to a 1-year extension. Let him test the market… hopefully no team make a offer big enough where he rather just take the team friendly deal to stay here.
i was a bit lower on him than some
but there were certainly lots of people who thought he should be early day 3 if not a day 2 kind of guy
brandon thorn had him as a 5th rounder type
lance zeirlein had him somewhere in the late 2nd round-early 3rd round type range
i had him in the 5th round type area
Vorhees was a late 3/early 4 for me. Think there's enough there where you can consider him an option but I wouldn't fully count on him if that makes sense. Would add a guy kinda like a John Simpson from this year that could probably come in and do a solid job if Vorhees isn't ready.
Do we have many examples of medical redshirts that work out?

There's basically none.
I was thinking of guys like Sidney Jones and Jaylon Smith who were VERY highly touted players and neither really worked out. I mean, I suppose Smith is sticking in the league, but he's pretty much replacement level.

Every time this topic comes up I think of Jeffrey Simmons. DT for Tennessee
The guy who started the second half of his rookie season and played in the playoffs?

Shit.. you’re right. I had just remembered he tore his ACL leading up to the combine. Turns out he was only out 8 months

Patrick Paul, OT from Houston, would be a good future investment late in the 1st. Not a complete tackle by any stretch, bit has the size, strength, and is a smart player. Let him get a little experience and coached up in his rookie year and he could take over for Stanley in year 2.

I am not sure how sold I am on another future pick. Kind of need a guy who can step in and help immediately.
If he can actually step in for Stanley in year 2 that would be amazing but I don't see Stanley going anywhere. A restructure is coming
RaineV1

I would be surprised if Stanley gets extended or restructured. He hasn't had a full season in ages. Honestly if we grabbed an OT they probably would be starting before the end of their rookie year out of necessity.

Since signing that contract, he really has not been available to us. That's the exact reason why I think they extend him on a more team friendly deal.
when he came back last year in week 5, he played well.
OK who are the big names RB I should start watching ? I really liked Corum last year before he came back to UM. Who are the other ones
Don’t know that there any are top guys a la Bijan this year as of now, but I really like Raheim Sanders and Bucky Irving as of now.
