It seems like it's poor value, but I will withhold judgment until it shakes out a bit. We got our asses kicked on the OL last season so I appreciate them adding to the group but I dont think this was the draft position to do it.

Im reading that NC State runs some inside zone? Also I would be shocked if they didnt put him right at RG.

BIG reach here...tells you last years #1 isn't all that so we waste a 2nd to fix it. This one hurts as we had a starting corner fall and left him on the board

Was thinking same thing. We took a guy GB could have gotten at 87 to say we fucked up and took Morgan who we don't know if he can even play.
 
This also shows me Walker, Rhyan, Jenkins are all gone after this year so Gute is trying to rebuild 3/5th of the OL for 2026.
 
A project OL if I am reading this correct. He needs work but can become a starting level player.
