LG - Ben Powers 6'4 313..
If you could see the 86 yard TD run early in the 3rd quarter against K State this weekend, you'll see why he's also a top OG.

RG - Cody Ford 6'4 338 Jr. Considered to be the best OT in the nation.

They are the number 1 offense in college football. Murray rarely gets pressure, and these guys pull so we'll andwell and efficiently that to heir running game is at or near the top.

I could see us taking one or both if available. With Conklin and Lewan, we'd have the line that would be able to open up these holes for our backs and give MM8 the time he needs. I know we have Lewan, but Bobby Evans III, is a top LT, and will be a good pro for some team.

There's the info for OU's guards and OL you wanted. Here's a few bits of info about our two best WR on the number 1 offense.

I wouldn't mind getting Marquis, Hollywood Brown at WR. A redshirt Jr with legit low 4.3, high 4.2 40 speed. Hug a faster version of Tyreek Hill of the Chiefs. He also is the nephew of Antonio Brown. When it comes to a deep throat, there's no one better, and he has very good

The guy I REALLY want is coming out in 2 years, CeeDee Lamb, True Soph WR. 6'2 185, with 4.4 speed, great hands, goes up high to grab passes, great hands, good footwork and route runner.

He has started every game since he arrived at Norman. With all of the speed, runners, and talent on the Sooners, he also returns punts. He's the proto-typical NFL number 1 WR, guaranteed top 10 draft pick when he comes out. Honestly, he looks like another AJ Green.

UPDATE: The OU offensive line just won the Award for best Offensive Line in college Football. Hope we can get one or two big stufsnlike these to.open holes for the backs, and protect Marcus better.
 
We need probably need lineman, but I refuse to invest thought in college offensive linemen.
 
Jonathon Ogden, Tony Baselli, Orlando Pave, Pouncy brothers, DiCastro for the Steelers..there are many great lineman start straight out of college...these were just a few examples. If I could get a sure fite o line man in the first round, I'd grab him. We need o line imho than anything else.
 
This thread was ahead of its time as the Colts Oline has shown that investing in the positions can change your season. If we re looking at a new QB in 20 we need to significantly upgrade at G and C this coming season and draft/FA.
 
look at the colts OL this year

know who they picked in the 1st? a GUARD

guard in the 1st incoming, JROB aint blind

Why do you always talk about one of the least important positions in the sport?

Because our OG's are getting Mariota killed combined with poor RT play this year from Conklin coming off of injury.

In contrast...

Colts now have one of the best OL's going from last to Id guess at least top 5 this year by taking a G and then a T last year. This allows them to have consistent offense and Luck to rarely be sacked...and in our game against him earlier...wasn't even touched. Henry and Mariota could use a significant upgrade to our 31st ranked OL.

Chance Warmack taught me not to draft guys who play on a stacked line.

Id rather get some guy who stands on his own on a bad team, easier to forecast those types in the NFL..

It's not so much that he's on a stacked line...though that IS a factor...but that he was maxed out as a college player.

Starting to wonder if Conklin is in that boat too...might need to move inside to OG if he plays like last year again.

Thinking outside the box here, but want to get your opinions on this.

When we drafted Conklin, 104.5 The Zone had a draft expert on and his quote about Conklin always stuck with me "He can be a good tackle, but he could be a hall of fame guard." I know some of his struggles this year are because of his injury, but what would you guys think of moving Conklin to guard? I think he'd be a mauler inside, and he played some guard at Michigan State before he was moved to tackle.

Also, since I'm not the best at grading offensive linemen, how big is the drop off from him to Dennis Kelly? Whenever Kelly comes in for him I don't see much drop off at all. If you move Kelly to starting RT and Conklin inside to guard, you don't have to use any draft picks or free agent money to do it. You may only need to draft a new center and have Kline and Spain fight for the last guard spot.

Thoughts?

It's a real possibility. But two things. Hard to know if Conklin played poorly last year because he really wasn't all the way back from his injury. Kelly looked like he outplayed him when Conklin was gone the rest of the way. I've suggested maybe moving Conklin inside to replace Spain as a possibility if they think Kelly can hold up a full season at RT and if Conklin can play OG at his height. usually my cutoff is 6'5 because the taller you are, the harder it is to stay under the DT's.

Of course, if Conklin comes back and looks good again at RT, you probably leave him there. Good RT's are much harder to find than a good RG.

Colts OL went from worst to best after they went Guard in the top 10 - fact

True! The flipside is...everyone knew Nelson was a stud and probably gonna be the best OG to come out since Zac Martin. We don't know that about these guys...yet! I haven't really started watching film on these guys. Also keep in mind a lot of college OT's will be moved to OG in the NFL so don't just look at OG's in college.

Tackles play on an island so to speak, he held his own in college

I'm thinking his knee injury limited him

Not only did they take him in the 1st, but they took him 6th overall!! And last years first was on a C at like 18th or so.

I hate it, it's not a sexy pick. But if there is a top IOL at our pick, you need to consider that. It's the only thing that can really fix the offense next year.
