Top 11 Things
Carson, Kayvon, Matthew Golden, Ed Ogeron .... and 7 Other Things.
At this point, Carson Beck is looking like the steal of the entire draft. The dude had first-round grades at certain points during his stay at Georgia, but when he left for the U, his stock tanked. Now that he's in Arizona, he's looking like the prospect experts thought he'd be way back in Athens.
I can't tell you how excited I am to watch Matthew Golden play football this year. He'll become the go-to guy that Jordan Love has been looking for ever since he took the top spot under center.
Not quite ready to put them in the title game, but I do think this is the year Notre Dame makes the plays that puts them back in the conversation.
That young New York Giants defense with Carter, Burns, and Reese should be incredible to watch, and a nightmare to go up against.
Speaking of the New York Giants defense, has anyone heard from or seen Kayvon Thibodeaux? He was a five-star talent coming out of high school in California and played big while at Oregon but seems to have fallen out of favor in Gotham.
I'm hesitant to label this current iteration of the Patriots as the second coming of their dynasty, but that offensive line makes me think it could be.
Love what I'm seeing out of Carnell Tate out in Tennessee but I'm still wondering if taking him at #4 was a little too high. I get it, Cam Ward needs help, but with so many holes in other places ... time will tell.
Wondering if UCLA will ever be formidable again. The move to the Big Ten should've given the program a jolt, but instability at the top and bad hires seem to have done this program in, at least for the time being.
Seeing Ed Ogeron back on that LSU sideline screams everything is right in the world again.
The Seahawks v. the Rams might actually be our Super Bowl ... even though they play in the same division.
I'm interested to see what happens at Georgia now that the financial landscape of collegiate football has shifted. It's all about the money and kids who were once loyal to a brand, are now looking out for number one.
