Possible 1st Round OL's.
 

Next years crop of OT is considered very strong. It is projected that Eric Winston {Mia}, Jamaal Brown {OK} Alex Barron {Fla St} Micheal Munoz {TN} are 1st rd tackles.

All possibilities next year if we deal Samuels. I'm not saying we should. I want to remain open.

Anyone familiar with these guys, or know of some other Road Graders out there?

What about that former Patriot with the legal problems that we picked up late in the season last year? Is he a G or a T?

If Samuels did get traded, that would just leave us with a gaping hole at T for this year.

is the guy from TN Anthony's brother?

It his son i assume, would be a very large age difference if it were his brother, but it is possible. Im pretty sure though that i heard it was his son

it is his son and he's gotten a lot of quodos for his college work thus far. I know virginia has this guy elton brown, who seems to play every position on the line exceptionally well. and we might be able to get him later in the 1st round as not much national attention seems to get paid to va players the last few years.
but the player I want us to get the most out of VA after this year if he stays healthy is Chris Canty, but thats a different topic, lol.

Elton Brown is also a good basketball player, and i thought he was better at basketball than football. He really isnt that heavy a guy, but hes like 6' 8", at least he doesnt appear big enough to me

Skins fan you much be a fellow Cav. like me. Elton Brown is gonna be a damn good O-linemen. But he is a guard not Tackle. As for Chris Canty I would throw a party if he's in a skins uniform next year. He's gonna be a star, and should have a break out year.

I don't think their the same guy. the football version is 6'6 333 and the basketball one is 6'9 255.

I have a strong feeling that the staff is very high on the future of the 2 O- tackles we drafted this year.

didn't he have to platoon in other spots on the line last year? either way he'd be an awesome upgrade over anyone but thomas and jansen. and I agree about chris canty, that dude is a beast as a 6'7 280 de who's fast off the edge but also very solid against the run.

How can they say that yet? They havent even played a down. :nono:

Oh, my fault. Didnt both play football though?

and btw, UVA SUCKS!

Bitterness I sense from the ass rapping Tech got last year.

UVa 35 VT 21

And just in case Big C doesn't like football, I'll throw out some other results.
Baseball
UVa 21 VT 10

Basketball
UVa 80 VT 65

Hey look at this. UVa whoped tech's ass in every major sport last year.

hehe

But back to topic, this is where i dont get whats going on with some of you here.

1. You want to get Ogunleye this year because we cant deal without a pass rush THIS SEASON

2. By getting him, we have to give up Samuels, losing our left tackle for THIS SEASON

3. And now you all are looking for tackles for NEXT SEASON

I dont really see the sense behind this. We will lose our left tackle this year, and just create another hole. yes it will be fixed next year surely, but we need him now, just as we will surely fix our d line next season. Seems kinda hypocritical to me

Right on Big C, I say no on trading Samuels this year. He is one of the top rated tackles in the league and not because he has help next to him. He is gonna ancor our line this year just wait.

O-lines take too long to mesh to just start throwing in guys this late, but samuels may be on the trading block next year... however, i thought O-line guys generally don't play much their rookie season...

i don't have any problems with samuels though, if he has a crap season, i'll re-evaluate.

The Elton Brown who plays basketball is actually the cousin of the football elton brown. If im not mistaking Elton brown the football player won the award for the acc's best lineman last year as voted by the coaches. But as mentioned in an earlier post UVA doesnt get much publicity and the press left them off of there All ACC team. Elton Brown would be a great addition and there is a good possibility of him slipping to the second round.
