He'll have a monster year and improve that rating IMO. 2nd round is his floor! 15-0!

bama game will be huge for him

 

[grover]

I hope you’re right. I think he’s too unpolished still. Expect him back in 2022z

 

[Ziggy]

Zion has gotten better every year (not hard to do from his freshman season) but that is promising. I expect another jump with increased strength and confidence.

I think coach Justice deserves some serious credit for Zion and the line's general development and progression from '19 to '20. You go back and watch the '19 UF game, man the kid has already come a long way. It should have been a tip when he ate and bulked his way into the LT spot after high school graduation. He just lacked the guidance and coaching.

I've never heard of that site but he nailed the evaluation.

Curious where a 7 gets drafted?

Man that game was brutal. I'm telling you if Ken Dorsey was the QB they would have had 15plus sacks. The OL was getting beat so bad that night.

3rd round. There's a breakdown of numeric rating on the bottom left corner of the chart.

And Miami still should have won

I agree, evaluation seemed spot on from what I have seen from Zion.

The responses to the Zion signing may go down as the biggest L in the history of this board - and that's saying something.

this is the reality......he has a big game against them, he can write his ticket for the draft. Its the one film that will matter.

Put me in that group, I'll take it. After the UF game I could have found a parking cone that would have put up more resistance blocking. He made a huge jump, good for him.

I think people had the right to be skeptical of the signing, especially after seeing him flounder so poorly his freshman year. I think the general consensus was that he had no business being thrown into the fire like he was though. There were a handful of "he's garbage and he'll never be good" opinions but I think, at least for the most part, that people were disappointed that he was rushed to the field when he was clearly a project. I would say that nobody should give up on a player after his freshman season. Especially an offensive lineman.

After the abuse he took as a Freshman, he could have packed it in and crawled into a hole. Instead he worked his *** off got bigger, stronger, worked on his technique...nothing but good things for this mentally tough kid.

 

[JustAFanHTX]

He should come back either way IMO. He can still play his way into the the first round off this season but if he plays as a senior he’s gone in the first 6 or 7 picks.

He never should’ve played that game.

We talking Restrepo? Because AB2 ain't gonna be drafted in the 3rd.
