#456: Dash To The Draft 2024 (Analysis of OL Class with Joey Richards)

What this episode covers

1. NFL insider Benjamin Allbright reported that the NFL is quite lower on Joe Alt than draft media is and added that the league has compared him to Mike McGlinchey, another former Notre Dame OT that you're quite familiar with. Do you agree or disagree with the NFL's assessment of Joe Alt, and if you disagree, why will Alt likely be a better player than the current Broncos RT? 2. Should whoever drafts Taliese Fuaga him try him at tackle first and then switch him to guard if he fails? Would you be surprised if he's the first OT off the board? 3. Why do you think the hype cooled off a bit on Olu Fashanu in the past year? At the Senior Bowl, I had a few conversations with Brandon Thorn, who is THE guy to go to for OL evaluations, and he said that if the big three WR are gone at 9 and Fashanu is still there, the Bears should not hesitate to run the card up to the podium and make Fashanu Caleb Williams' blindside protector. Would you do that if you were Ryan Poles? 4. In your view, what is J.C. Latham's best position at the NFL level? 5. Let's say, hypothetically speaking, Amarius Mims' medical evaluations turn out good. How high can you see him being drafted in that scenario? 6. Do you think the best role for Troy Fautanu at the NFL level is one similar to Alijah Vera-Tucker, meaning he starts at guard but is able to kick outside in a pinch? 7. If his health situation improves over the next six weeks, do you think Jackson Powers-Johnson is worth a top-20-25 pick? 8.
