Ohio State OL Donovan Jackson in the CFP —

• Tennessee: 34 pass pro snaps, 0 sacks, 0 hurries, 1 pressure

• Oregon: 27 pps, 0 sacks, 0 hurries, 0 pressures

• Texas: 38 pps, 0 sacks, 0 hurries, 0 pressures

• Notre Dame: 27 pps, 0 sacks, 0 hurries, 0 pressures

?126 pass pro snaps, 1 pressure. Top 20 lock in April

Impressive

We have not valued the OG position for too long. I am not big on plug and play OL due to them not being developed physically to compete against 30 year old men. But always exceptions and Jackson very well be a major upgrade over Cappa (cut him if we draft Jackson)

How many NFL ready plug and players will be available at 17?
I am not sure, but I hope we get one of them.

IN my opinion, we need to address the DL in FA, cut Hubbard and Rankins and replace with better options. This would free us up to focus on guard, TE (love Warren) or WR (EE from OSU ready) or even a player like Starks, safety from Georgia drops.

I do like Jackson seems to have the ability to play OT and OG. The versatility is needed as most teams have to navigate injuries on the OL.
