    Love watchin' the Big 0! What a beast. He has matued by literal leaps and bounds while at UGA. I'd say early league pick.

    Glad to see Darnell get his due. With Bowers and the rest of that potentially historic TE room, there's not as much spotlight to go around. Love the nonplussed look on Lanning's face in the headline picture, kind of like, "Yeah, I've seen that a bunch in practice the past couple of years." Go Dawgs!

    Washington is on pace for 25 catches for 400 yards. Will take a bit more than that. Irv Smith had 44 catches for 710 yards and 7 TDs and was a 2nd rounder. Because of the (regrettable) state of the modern NFL, a TE is only going to get drafted high if NFL teams believe that he can be a consistent intermediate receiving threat (and that belief is based on tape of him consistently doing so in college). Otherwise NFL teams will see him as a situational player instead of a starter.
