    His name intrigued me and after looking at this draft profile I'm on board to add a Dunker to our OL... https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Gennings-Dunker-OL-Iowa

    I’m still trying to learn to say/spell this year’s draft picks. We are already talking about next year’s draft picks.

    I am always down for a country strong, Kirk Ferentz lineman! He plays RT at Iowa but lacks the length and athleticism to stay there I suspect which will drive him down. Id probably spend a second on him to just not have to think about RG for a decade but, for now, Im thinking a third and pick a RT (Miller) to push Fisher at that spot in the second. Miller is an ironman who started as a true freshman at Clemson and hasnt missed a game since.

    This is a product of having picked OL for 3 different OC's/OL coaches in 5 years IMHO.

    Its an obsession....

    1. CJ Allen - No more discussing Christian Harris vs. To'o To'o and forget re-sginging a 30 year old Azeez after next year. Allen has all pro ability and will bridge the Will Anderson front with Stingley and co secondary. I think he has Roquan Smith upside.

    2, Blake Miller - So much for counting on Blake Fisher. Miller is 6'6'', 315 with 35 inch arms and is a 4 year starter at a power 5 school without missing a game. He's not franchise guy but he is a legit NFL OT who should be an immediate starter.

    2. Zane Durant - Undersized at 6'1'', 290, Durant wins with freakish athleticism and strength, think Aaron Donald. He is no Aaron Donald. But, especially in a rotation, Kmart Aaron Donald is pretty f***ing nice.

    3. Gennings Dunker - Country strong OL from the Kirk Ferentz Iowa lineman factory. Very successful RT who I think transitions inside to OG in the pros.

    4. Darrell Jackson (or Demonte Capehart) - Adding beef to the DLine.

    4. Le'Veon Moss - Adding to Marks in the RB by committee stable. 6', 215.

    5. Logan Jones - 6'3'', 290 C from Iowa. See Dunker above re: Iowa. Jones is a sick athlete for an OL as well.

    As of now this is the type of draft I would support. It shores up each line for the future and adds another playmaker to the Defense at LB. Moss and Marks would, I think, be a competent 1-2 punch at RB to elevate our ground game too. The 6/7 rounds would just be for high upside swings or Ht/Wt/Speed guys for special teams.

    True Green was a real disaster. But other than Ersery, who do you like in the second? Fisher? Scruggs? Too early to know for sure?

    Which one? Between Utah and BYU there's about 5 of them every year.

    I don’t think we’re picking that high. He’s top 5 we gonna end up top 10.

    Looks like they may be looking at drafting a QB if they finish up 4-13 or 5-12. Of course they probably will be for a new GM/HC/QB if this happens.

    Either a Samoan or a corn fed white boy from the Midwest.

    I’m not going to say we are….

    but not going to say we aren’t at this point. And I’m normally optimistic.

    Unless he's picked in the first 3 picks...Texans have a high chance at him.

    If they don't plan on improving the OL they better pick the most mobile QB available.

    1: Kadyn Proctor - Mammoth human being who started at LT from day 1 in the SEC for 'bama. Would result in either Ersery or Howard going to LG.
    2: CJ Allen - Azeez replacement. I think he could be a LB similar to Roquan Smith (or something like what Meco had in SF in Warner/Willis).
    2: A'Mauri Washington - 0T with crazy strength and amazing get off.
    3: Zane Durant - Undersized 3T that wins with athleticism and strength. Think KMart Aaron Donald (on clearance)
    4: Chase Bisontis - Depth at G/T.
    4: Oscar Delp - Add an inline TE with some juice.
    5.: Le'Veon Moss - allows the Texans to maintain a fresh set of legs at TB with Marks
