I know we are excited, and should enjoy the off-season infusion of talent.
That said, do we have NFL talent on this roster as it is constructed currently?
QB - McCord was projected mid round (4th) after last season at OSU. Can he sustain that or improve upon that this year on the hill?
RB - Allen is a nice college player, however I don't feel he has that differential needed for RB in today's NFL. The position is being marginalized more and more.
WR / TE - Depending on how he bounces back, Gadsden can be a mid to late round pick. Not sure if any of the transfers have any unique or elite skill sets to get drafted (though Tristan Jackson is still in the league getting opportunities).
OL - As of now I don't see any difference makers or NFL talent here. An area that will need strong focus in coming recruiting classes if the program is to get to the next level.
DL - with the infusion of transfer talent, this presents an intriguing position to watch. I could see two or three guys potentially positioning themselves to be drafted, with Diggs being the main man.
LB - another solid but not quite elite enough position group. Maybe McDonald?
DB - Alijah Clark will probably be a mid round pick. Can this group under Frans guidance find another pick or two?
Specials - With a strong season, can we get another Punter into the league?
Thoughts?
