You have non-quarterback guys that are way down, starting with another LSU guy, right, that you talked about?
Yeah, let's start at LSU.
Yeah.
What is Harold Perkins Jr. in the NFL?
Because this guy's gonna probably go in round five.
Remember when Harold Perkins Jr. was a freshman- Mm-hmm and they played Arkansas, and he single-handedly saved them against Arkansas, and you thought, "This guy's gonna wreck everything forever."
Oh, the internet thought he was Jadeveon Clowney.
We knew even when he was doing that as a freshman- Mm-hmm that he was never going to be that in the NFL.
You are not putting Harold Perkins Jr. on the line of scrimmage every play in the NFL.
He is 223 pounds.
Man, this feels like Philadelphia Eagles project.
Iowa had its next Rimington Trophy winner this past year in Logan Jones.
You know what he's really good at?
Snapping a football and knocking the crap out of somebody.
So 299 pounds, slightly undersized, but it's fine.
If you need a starting center that you would like to be your starting center for 10 years, all you gotta do is take Logan Jo- Logan Jones.
Like, Ravens, if you'd like to replace Tyler Linderbaum, just take Logan Jones, and he's probably gonna be available.
Like, the, the projected round on him is four.
Like- Okay you could grab him in the third.
I wanna put one, a, a guy in your wheelhouse.
Okay.
This is a guy who's probably going in the sixth or seventh round.
Eli Heidenreich from Navy.
yes.
I would love this for a number of reason.
But Eli Heidenreich is not necessarily a receiver at the NFL level.
He is a, he's a third-down weapon- Yeah is what he is.
Yeah, definitely.
He, he is line him up at running back but motion him out into the slot.
You will find something to do with him.
This is not a try-hard guy.
Like, he, he's legit fast.
So this is- Yeah gonna be an interesting one to see what, what he ends up becoming.
Max Clair, the tight end from Ohio State.
I think Max Clair will probably wind up in a less talented receiving corps in the NFL than he was at Ohio State.
Possibly.
He could have better numbers in the NFL is all I'm saying.
The fact that he was able to become an integral- Yeah critical part of that group- Yes tells you he's g- he's really freaking good.
And, and you may be able to get him in the third round.
