I like to come at things from my angle, so hopefully you'll get something out of this that you haven't seen elsewhere.
If you know my style, I follow players their entire collegiate career. I start watching them as freshman ... or whenever they show up on the big screen. Because I do this, I have expectations for their growth as a big part of my analysis.
Case in point ...
Deandre Hopkins vs. Sammy Watkins. They shared the field. One player was a polished amazing freshman and the other not so much. Watkins was the better talent to begin with. Deandre Hopkins though, he outpaced him in work ethic, route running, and focus. So predicting who would be the better pro was leaning toward Hopkins form early on.
I also follow programs who regularly churn out players coming through position coaches ... Not just Wisconsin and Iowa O lines or Clemson and Ohio State D lines.
So I will give you my player analysis along with my relationship with the player and what the pick means to me about Snead and McVay's perspective of the team. I think we can all say that their picture of the O line strength is not what ours had been.
Thoughts and comments welcome.
