    Riley Leonard is going to fly up draft boards this year as long as he performs this year against better comp. I think he goes 1-1!

    I too believe he will be a riser with a good season at ND ... he's got 1st round draft pick ability, we shall see if he gets there.

    Can't help but feel Quinn is a tad underrated. I really feel like he has a breakout year and puts himself in contention to be the first QB off the board. Feels like Beck is getting more hype than he deserves at this point. He's a great QB obviously but I don't think he's the consensus #1 like experts have made him out to be.

    Two questions here, Gerry. 1. Do you think DJ Campbell has the potential to rise if he stays another year or is he basically who he is at this point? Given his recruiting ranking, I was expecting him to eventually perform like a high-level NFL guard, but we haven't seen that so far. 2. Do you expect Tia Savea to outperform Bill Norton this year based on the above or do you view them as similar caliber players? Thanks!

    Quinn projected to the Saints is either an odd stretch or hilarious since they just picked up Spencer Rattler. A Longhorn QB leap frogging a former OU QB would be great. They should honestly suffer with Carr a few more years until Arch is ready to draft.

    All comes down to pass pro for DJ Campbell ... he was a slip second slow off the ball too much in 2023 to translate to a high-end draft pick ... but was still a fist year starting guard. how much he ascends will tell the story this season IMO. Being lighter by 15 pounds will be beneficial as a whole too I believe

    Not buying Beck or Sanders. To be fair, unless Quinn cleans up his footwork by a lot over last year, I wouldn't buy him either. But don't trust me on QB evals, I am still eating my crow from Texans face of the franchise Stroud, though I loved his game against Geogia and believe they would have won without the cheap shot on Harrison.
