That Sam Hecht is going to be a really good Center. Surprised he’s there.
True. Ideally I’d move up hard using 201 and a RD4 2027. We’ve got 3 of them

Good player. Yet most Scouts say he’s really a Center due to lack of play strength and you can’t have that at Guard. Issue is he’s a Duke OL moving to Center and we just drafted a Duke OL moved to Center with Monk. Monk is much more refined and better athletically (Monk was the Highest graded O player in Week 17 vs Vikings).
So we’re duplicating good with good same position same program.
Sam Hecht will be a better Center. A few scouts had him #1
Monk has been as quiet as a monk so far. Give me Parker, DDS, Washington or a double dip at CB.

I agree with any other ones you mentioned mainly because Brian just praised Monk and the more I liked the more I’ve changed my mind on Monk. Just recently I had C as my biggest need behind DT. Not anymore. Go look at Monks Vikings game he stalemated that Starting D all day. 77 grade stuff and the Vikes were running hot down the stretch. He’s turning a Corner
I realize RB is devalued but RB
Washington is in my opinion what we thought Lloyd would be.
Fine with Muhammad or a good Pass Rusher.
Cmon Brian!

DDS at this late is insane….he was a first rounder to me based off his ceiling. Incredible he was still there.

Yes!
Love that. Finally kinda went with a Forum favorite. I’m happy with this. He’s one of my top 5 left, some of you had me sold on him.

Ok, I'm a little scared... I'm actually quietly loving this draft so far and that never completely happens.

I think my neighbors, who live about a 1/4 mile away, probably thought someone was killed in my house when I screamed after DDS was announced!
My wife jumped, when I let out a WHOOOO, lol

If Parsons can bestow in him that work ethic, DDS is an incredible athlete with so many uncoachable and intangibles

If you are upset with the draft so far then I believe you literally will never be happy with any draft.

I thought the same thing when I first started watching DDS's film. What a great place for him to land and a great fellow PSU mentor to learn under. Both he and Parsons have to be pumped.

Can’t wait to really tear down his film for myself anyway. Sounds like we hit a steal though!
This is what I was hearing is that that #100-150 was loaded with Day 2 leaning types. Several film guys I watched on various players couldn’t put a 3rd or 5th on a big group of 50+ prospects. They basically said “not word for word” that there’s a Log Jam in Round 4. Like 50 players with RD4 grade.

DDS played in a damn good league, the Big10 and put up solid numbers.
He impressed as one of the few senior starters to play in Penn State's final 2025 game, the Pinstripe Bowl victory over Clemson. He dominated with two sacks. He forced three fumbles last season, and his three blocked punts tied a 36-year-old Penn State record.
He produced nearly identical defensive stats as a junior and senior, averaging 42 tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks.

The review on him was that he will struggle with pass rush because of his pad level but will be effective against the run. Does that mean we platoon him?
