What are we doing at G?

Kline walked, Elf sucked. Who are we planning to roll out there? We're going to be soft up the middle again this year. Ugh.

Tyler Johnson still available. Other WR I would love us to get Hightower or Joe Reed.

I'd take the center from Wisconsin and move him to guard or Gandy Golden.

Great fit too. He'll be their starter next year once they realize Rivers is done.

You're right. I'm overreacting.

I like Muti, Bredeson, and Runyan.

Muti is dropping like a rock. Teams not willing to risk him due to medical concerns. Lemieux or Biadasz look like the best available.

D.J. Wonnum DE-OLB South Carolina #8 6045 258 4.73 5.4 BP 20, VJ 34.5, BJ 10-3, SS 4.44, 3C 7.47 VIDEO
BACKGROUND: From Stone Mountain, Georgia. Full name is Dennis O’ Wonnum Jr. His brother, Dylan, is an offensive lineman for South Carolina. Was a three-star tight end recruit originally. Played in every game (32 tackles, 3.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks) as a true freshman in 2016. Named a team captain and started all 13 games (57 tackles, 13 TFL, 6 sacks, 5 PBU, 1 blocked kick) in 2017. Limited to five games (11 tackles, 3.5 TFL, 2 sacks, 1 FR) due to injuries in 2018. Posted 37 tackles, 9.5 TFL, 4.5 sacks, 1-21 INT, 1 FF, 1 blocked kick in 2019.
POSITIVES: Great length. Gets upfield and can work his way back inside. Effective on stunts and sifts his way through traffic well. Very persistent and tends to collect
165
his sacks as a result of his effort. Shows good discipline within the scheme. Threetime team captain. Good work ethic, motor and hustle. Has been productive.
NEGATIVES: Average twitch, quickness and change of direction. Gets too high and can be knocked off his path too easily when he does. Is not a great open-field athlete.
SUMMARY: Tweener who lacks power as a down lineman and movement skills for coverage as a linebacker. Best fit seems as an edge defender in a 3-4.

I'd like Badasz and Proche at 130 and 132.

James Lynch, Baylor.

I love this pick. Dude has a non-stop motor. He's a gamer. Whenever I watch Baylor, he stands out.
