Don’t be upset about losing out & why it is ok.

But I just strongly feel Oline is our #1 problem with a giant star. And evidently our depth sucks? I mean Volson is still out there.

And the reason Volson is starting is because Duke sucks at drafting OL. Carman was a 2nd round pick, he should be the one out there right now.

For all you horrible fans discussing the draft and not praying for 2-3 empty wins that would cost us better players in the draft, shame on you.  This team is a TITLE CONTENDER with or without Burrow..... we rank last in only one category.  Let's Go!!!!!

If you want them to lose out, I don't think you have a lot to worry about.  There aren't a ton of games on the schedule I see them having a chance in.  

If they mercifully end the year with 5 wins, that's probably a top 10 pick.  That's a big opportunity for a team that's about to be carrying several large contracts.
