Whether that's next year or years into the future?

I didn't see TJ Jackson on the roster, but if he plays the full season you gotta believe he could be draft potential. Not sure why he didn't start more at VaTech. At 6-6, 377 he could be all-MAC. Oddly enough, his major at VaTech was Human Development.

I'll play along. How about Daxon? He'll never play for the Cats, but the Raiders will draft him anyway.

It is amazing that he is listed as a R-SR and has never made it on the field. And nobody has explained what he did wrong.

It's been explained multiple times. DM me if you would like a recap

Jett Elad (7th Rd)
Shakari Denson (7th Rd)
Remaining Twin TE if we pass him the ball more because he can block already (UFA).
Tackle from VATech if we can show his run block dominance (5th - 7th)

Tuggle will be drafted. I look for Keye Thompson also to be drafted. Armani Rogers second round. Six-foot-five, 250 pounds. Perfect Kiper measureables.

If Rogers is drafted, it will not be at quarterback.

I thought about Tuggle, but he just doesn't have the next level size or the next level speed to think he's that much better than the Dorian Brown/Vince Davidson types we've seen succeed here.

Thompson has the potential if he continues to trend upwards. He's a better athlete than Blair Brown and I remember making the comment in his recruitment thread that he had Ray Lewis level vision and pursuit.

It's a small sample size, but Elad had several right place/right time moments last fall for a newcomer.

I disagree about Tuggle not having next level speed. He's had a number of highlight reel big-plays for us where he simply outran everyone else and he was a very, very good 100m runner in high school. I'm curious to see what kind of 40 he can run.
