Buckeyes had a solid camp!

4 starters and added some depth. No big booms but also no busts.

Averages - +4.8/+1.1
RD 1 - 7/-1
RD 2 - 6/2
RD 3 - -2/2
RD 4 - 3/-1
RD 5 - 8/2
RD 6 - 4/2
RD 7 - 4/2

WR Daniel Massie= 13/-5
WR Miguel Worthington= 9/-2
RG Peter Laney= 19/0
RG Antonio Wood=3/0
RG William Haas= 17/4
DT Abraham Faust= 25/5
DT Luke Loudermilk=15/6

Kind of a disappointing training camp for the Bruins...

Our 1st round pick had a serious drop but I think he will still working out being a tight end. I was kind of hoping to see him turn into a stud offensive lineman but looks like that is where he took his hit.

2nd Rounder will eventually be a starter so that is good.

3rd Rounder took a big hit and I am hoping to salvage him as a LB but he may only last a few seasons.

4th Rounder took a dump and was given an application to In N Out Burgers because that all he is good for.

5th Rounder maybe a decent corner or safety in a couple of seasons. His Bump n Run cannot take anymore dings or he will be sent packing.

6th Rounder will take a few season to develop mostly a safety but hoping that he can be a corner. We will have to wait and see.

7th Rounder another project here hoping he develops in to a undersized defense end.

So looking at this class 1 eventual starter, 1 potential starter, 3 wait and see, 1 praying for a miracle and 1 fry cook.

GO BRUINS!!!!

RD 1 CB 21/+3
RD 2 SS 9/+6
RD 3 RT 3/+5
RD 4 SS 11/-5
RD 5 C 4/+3
RD 6 WR 7/+3
RD 7 FS 12/-5

3 eventual starters, 2 back-ups, and only 1 certain cut. Very fortunate camp at areas of need.

If your name didn't start with the letter "V" you busted on this Navy Shippers team.

7 Signed...

Crappy players boomed to become marginal.

Good players busted to become marginal

One stayed in the middle of the road.

One has been cut.

the End.

Literally my draft lol. I guess I was due for a mediocre one after a few great ones

For the first time in 8 years (QB John Fox, looking at you), LSU's first rounder significantly busted.

And for the first time in 11 years (!), that bust will not even start. I guess we were long overdue.

1. CB William Price (3/-13) [54]
Swung for the fences and missed dramatically. The good news is that he's now fast enough to be a quality special teamer ala Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, but one good DB draft will get both of them their walking papers. Major disappointment for a team that desperately needed a boom on a big speed DB.

2. WLB Lonnie Needham (8/4) [86]
I went best player available here wondering how on earth he fell, and got an 11 year starter at LB. Speed isn't great, but he will be a force in the run game and allow me to run more 5-6 DB packages. A total steal in the second.

3. SLB Quinton Holland (3/-7) [63]
He's going to keep falling, probably right off the roster. His speed and higher-than-average floor attributes are all that kept this guy from being a double digit bust. I have done much worse in the past with LB/S reserves, but I'm hoping to replace him in the next 2-3 years. The third round has been very unkind to me for a few years now.

4. CB Steven Dupre (10/8) [75]
I came into this draft looking to grab 2-3 starters between CB and S. I got 1, and thankfully he can slide right into a starting corner spot. Like Needham, he doesn't possess top-flight positional speed, but he has better coverage skills than my others guys and he's (hopefully) not done developing. He'll probably settle at 73-74 speed, and hopefully I'll upgrade CB well enough soon to move him to safety. Can't complain, although I'd like to.

5. CB Timothy Wetter (4/-6) [58]
Like Dupre, his speed required him to boom. Unlike Dupre, he did not. His coverage skills combined with his below average speed adds up to a post-camp cut. We hardly knew ye.

6. OL Greg Pace (20/7) [70]
I needed 2-3 younger OL for depth going into this offseason, and I ended up with one. Pace won't ever win a starting spot out of camp, but if his pass blocking continues to improve he won't make me sweat as much when a starter goes down. He'll be here for a while barring some incredible draft/free agency luck.

7. P Christopher Muse (8/-7) [79]
I drafted Golden last year, but his leg strength isn't superior, so I took a shot on Muse. It didn't work. No real loss here, as this draft was incredibly poor on the back end.

So LSU ends up with 2 starters, 3 depth/special team guys, and 2 cuts. I didn't get the elite DB that I've been after for over a decade, so that search will continue into 2031.

Round 1: QB Michael Dotson (+1) [68]
Didn't need a QB, but the scouts were pounding the table hard for him. Will top-out as a back-up and likely won't see contract #2.

Round 2: WR Chad Gough (+9) [80]
Went into the signing period desperate for speed on both sides of the ball and this kid looks like a future All-American. Will pick up a bit more speed as he leans out and may push his way into the starting lineup before season's end. The hilight of the class.

Round 3: LB Charles Morgan (-18) [52]
Might be able to work into the pass-rush sub package, but more that likely will be replaced following camp cuts.

Round 4: OT Clifford Booth (-10) [59]
Only shows run-blocking ability, and will be a depth piece for the time being. Will have to be upgraded on the in the next few years.

Round 5: RB Armando Rodriguez (+5) [66]
Change of pace running back that will to be pesky to bring down. Low-key good pick.

Round 6: CB Jonathon Tilford (-14) [38]
Tried a position change to get lucky but I got snake-eyes instead. Booo.

Round 7: QB Vernon Barr (-1) [62]
Was hoping to turn him into a gadget player but he's unwilling to make a position change. He will be kept around for now until a better option surfaces.

UDFA: CB Johnny Merritt (+6) [54]
Took a run at a one of the Xmas dinner leftovers and he did well - in all the wrong categories unfortunately so it's not as good as it looks.


Just an UGLY draft in Provo - might be the worst in my MFN history (and thats saying something!) Everything is riding on Gough.

Clemson 2030 Camp-

Round 1 - #97 Jerome Richard DT R 4/-5 47/80
Round 2 - #44 Kevin Johnson.. SS R 12/6 44/88
Round 3 - #42 Bradley Santos. SS R 0/-23 32/48
Round 4 - #80 Michael Edwards TE R 12/9 45/73
Round 5 - #78 F. Maynard.......... RT R 2/3 44/71
Round 6- #14 Mark Cullen........ WR R 3/-8 32/54
Round 7 - #75 Nate Morales.... RG R 8/1 50/67

Overview-
Rd. 1- Richard will be a starter, even with a tough camp. The DLine is getting old quick!
Rd. 2- Johnson is a very pleasant surprise and will be #1 safety for many years.
Rd. 3- Santos was insurance in case Johnson busted. Note to self: get insurance on the insurance! Will be cut.
Rd. 4- Edwards has great speed and hopefully we can use the TE position to make a few plays.
Rd. 5- Maynard gives some stability on the right side of the OL that has been needed.
Rd. 6- Cullen was a reach. I liked his courage, but horrible camp may see him cut.
Rd. 7- Morales has good strength, but will not see many running plays.

Overall, I am pleased to see 4 out of 7 picks will most likely see their career start and end as a Clemson Tiger.
