I got to looking at UGA track record of OL under Kirby Smart which they are selling to Jackson Cantwell

Based on On3 composite rankings he’s had 5 OL drafted in the 1st round and the last 3 being 5 star recruits

OT- Isiah Wynn- 4 star- 96th overall

OT- Andrew Thomas- 4 star- 59 overall

OT- Isiah Wilson- 5 star- 11 overall

OT- Broderick Jones- 5 star- 9 overall

OT- Amarius Mims- 5 star- 10 overall

This draft marks the sixth consecutive NFL draft that Georgia has had multiple offensive linemen taken.

IOL- Tate Ratledge- 4 star- 41 overall- 2nd round
IOL- Dylan Fairchild- 4 star- 108 overall- 3rd round
IOL- Jared Wilson- 4 star- 212 overall - 3rd round

Georgia isn’t trying to turn projects in to high draft picks

And our offensive line was better on the field than GA's this past year…If you want to adjust for schedule I get it, but the difference was so glaring that best you can get to after adjustment is that UM's was just slightly better.

What's your point?

UGA got hit with many injuries on the OL this year unlike Miami who was healthy all year outside of Rivers missing a few games

The point is don’t recruit projects if you want high draft picks

No the point is why worry about high draft picks if you have one of the best OL in CFB every…single…year

One of the best every single year according to who??

Miami has NEVER been a Semifinalist (Top 10) for the Joe Moore Award

Last year it was only a MidSeason award Finalist (Top 22) for the first time ever

Joe Moore Award is very thorough in their evaluation too

Which 4 OL are you talking about? I would love to see it, but that’s not happening. I have Mauigoa and then????

Bell will get looks just because of his size

Cooper will also get looks

Maybe not first 2 rounds but TrumpyCane sees them getting drafted within the 1st 3

Bell could move himself way up if he has a great year and performs well at the combine

And the new Center may get drafted; but I don’t know abut Top 75.

Miami had had a top 10-12 OL the last 2 seasons. I dont care what Joe Moore award says.

Last season specifically they were 3rd in power 4 in YPR behind Notre Dame and Kansas State. Cam Ward had all day to throw majority of times, and when he got sacked it was on him holding the ball too long. I thought by the end of the season you could even make an argument they were playing like a top 3 unit nationally.

I ageee on recruiting blue chip OL. If you sign 6 per say, 4 needs to be blue chippers.

But I will say I disagree that you have to be a 5 star and 4 star OL to be blue chip OL recruits. For instance Tommy Kinsler was a blue chip OL recruit to me. He had offers from Miami, UF, and FSU. He was 6'7 340.

Demtrius Campbell and Jaden Wilkerson were not blue chip OL recruits. They would have to go to UCF or longs ways up north to school if no Miami offer.

Another example is 2 current commits.

Ben Congden-247 3 star has Penn State and Alabama offers also.

Joel Ervin-247 3 star. Has UF, Southern Cal official viists.

Both are blue chip OL prospects in my eyes.

We have never had 4 OL drafted in a single draft class, let alone 4 in the first 75 picks.

Maybe some of you guys will be right. I just don’t see Bell or Cooper getting looks in the first 3 rounds unless they have a monster year.

Bell is 6'9 340, he will defenitley gets look especially if does well at the combine. TrumpyCane knows these NFL scouts love massive dudes (pause) like @Paranos loves massive ladies

Well I’ll say this..we can’t keep saying that Mario and Mirabel are the best OL coaches in the nation if we can’t get Bell and Cooper drafted in the first 3 rounds. That’s just the facts. I saw a lot of guys drafted in the first 90 picks that nobody would ever consider dominate or somewhat elite at OL. Bell and Copper can take the next step in development and make themselves top 90 picks off body type alone. This is the OL draft class in 2026 that Mario and Mirabel have to put their stamp on to show recruits that they are indeed the best in the business.

If you have a good offensive line and your job is a college coach, how can you not be one of the better offensive line coaches? The draft is something completely different. Our guys played well as a unit and that's really all that matters.

According to traditional stats like ypr…As well as more advanced metrics like line yards, stuff rate (top 4 in both this past season!), pressure rate, etc. Plus just use the eye ball…Cam Ward (also has good escapability and craftiness in pocket, no doubt), was rarely touched last season. Cristobal's OL always rate excellent in these categories, even dating back to Oregon, and not just the Rose Bowl team, and not just the Sewell Outland year.

If you want to nitpick and say they were top 15 instead of top 10 (I don't really see how anyone can leave us out of the top 10 this past season honestly), that's fine I guess.

The man will build and field a very good OL year in and year out no matter how many stars they tell you his starting 5 had coming out of high school.
