2023 NFL Mock Draft: QB picture as muddled as ever; Bucs target passer; Eagles land two offensive weapons

This QB position may not be as deep as we thought back in September

Only if we can label him a quitter and assert that Franklin has lost the locker room.

In related news, I will stop watching college football the rest of this season so I can get ready to watch the NFL draft. Please respect my decision.

Wow, I am really happy about this projection, but I just don't see it. Probably why I am not an NFL Scout. The same Mock Draft has Will Levis #6 to Carolina. I really hope that is way off base.

Looked up last week Olu stats and body stats both impressive. Hasn't allowed a sack this year. His length/strength/footwork is very good. Plus he is very young. 19 years old so his ceiling is extremely high. Here are some nfl scouts strengths of his...

• Quick to get his hands up and will use his length to his advantage early in the down.
• Fashanu also flashes heavy hands and has the ability to knock back pass rushers. He shows a mean streak as a run blocker, doing solid work on the second level.
• Plays with appropriate wide base and intelligence, instincts and agility to seal the edge. Aggressive extending with power to punch and looks comfortable in space.
• Has the functional strength to hold up against the bull rush, and Fashanu shows exceptionally quick and precise hands.
• In the run game, he shows good burst off the line of scrimmage, with the ability to win at the point of attack. Fashanu has enough speed and athleticism to move to the second level and land blocks.

the relatity is, 20 yo OT's struggle in the NFL.

 

[ClarkstonMark]

pretty sure Olu has already shut it down for the season

 

[BobPSU92]

Does anyone really think this kid is going to forego GROUNDBREAKING. NIL. in Happy Valley and leave early for the NFL? Pfft.

 

[Moogy]

What we definitely should do, is use the situation of a PSU player doing well, and being respected enough for his talents to potentially become a top pick in the NFL draft, as an opportunity to criticize him, and anything else we can think of.

As is the case with Joey Porter. Is it true he was a “healthy scratch” from Saturday’s game?

OL

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Dang, was hoping maybe we'd get him to stay another year. Silly me!

Kind of what I thought.

OL

I read somewhere he had an appendectomy, but no clue.

The best things I can say:

1. We have 2 first round type kids.
2. Their replacements did well in their stead.

Blame Coach Traut for developing him too quick.

 

[Jason1743]

I understand Olu is a great prospect and has the potential to sign a massive NFL contract in the Spring. Still, he is only 19 years old and has only started 9 college games. I think another year in college would help him prepare for the NFL. According to reports, Olu is a good student. His parents are concerned about him being too young to play in the League.
I have a hard time believing he will go at the top of the first round. Regardless, good luck to him. IMO he is in a win win situation. He should follow his heart. The money will be there when he is ready.

 

[hohmadw1978]

OL

Joey Porter Jr. had an emergency appendectomy during the week. That is the reason he is not playing.

Olu was in street clothes at Saturday's game walking with a moderate limp.

Exactly I don’t think he’s ready, his parents want him to graduate so if I was to wager, he’s definitely coming back

I had mine out, and wasn’t thinking about much more than resting. Then again mine was leaking and I was in the hospital for 5 days on high dose antibiotics thru the IV

We won't see him nor Joey Porter Jr. In a Nittany Lion uniform again. And maybe Jacobs.

 

[Daveb9127]

Here's what I posted in another thread:
The only question is: Is Olu ready to give up his "kid" status? He is only 19 and may want to have 1 more year of college life. He can get insurance in case something happens, and no, it won't be what his first round money would be, but it still would be substantial. You can't go back and have that "kid" experience ( wish you could though!! ) We don't know how much this factors into his decision, only he does.

 

[DaytonRickster]

Exactly. He should purchase a large insurance policy, collect NIL $ and return for one more year.

 

[s1uggo72]

PSU can provide him a policy if they want to.

Free pints at Pickles and The Phyrst and he stays!

 

[Rick76]

I'm having a hard time seeing Levis as a first round pick, let alone the #6 pick. The writeup says he's had a horrible season but he's been injured. That's sort of two strikes against a high pick as far as I'm concerned.

But the NFL draft has had plenty of big, strong-armed QBs who never pan out, so why should he be any different.

 

[Tri-Power65]

Yeah, I don't see any criticism of Olu here, but I'm glad you were able to inject your smarmy virtue signaling into this thread.

 

[WestSideLion]

The overall methodology used in that article gives as much pause as projecting a 9-game college starter at OT to be a top-3 pick. This is pure entertainment only.

 

[GrimReaper]

PSU can provide him a policy if they want to.

There are limits to what an underwriter will provide and the chances of ever collecting are slightly higher than Blutarsky's GPA. My advice to anyone who can is take the money and run.

 

[Moogy]

Thank you, Stevie W.

 

[Moogy]

I would almost never advocate for sports over academics, but we're talking $30M+ guaranteed, if this projection is accurate. Take the money, retire after 4 years with (hopefully) your health still intact, and go back and get your degree and do what you want with the rest of your life, knowing you have a nice little cushion to fall back on.

My daughter ended up in the hospital for 12 days. Had the surgery, didn’t recover well, then they found an abscess. Miserable experience.

Sounds like it, hopefully it all worked out for her. No surgery is routine

Enjoy one more year of ur youth.. Get the degree. Get stronger, improve ur draft status and bigger signing bonus in 2024.Take the insurance.. Have PSU pay. OT is a low probability of getting injured....

 

[Alphalion75]

I believe we've seen the last games for Fashanu, Porter and Jacob's in a Penn State uniform.

 

[PSUSignore]

He can return and graduate at any time in the future. First round draft money can disappear in an instant with an injury. It'd be dumb not to go pro if he's really getting top 15 pick grades. Of course I hope he stays, but it would be dumb and I'd go pro if I were in his shoes, or anyone else's with a first round projection for that matter.

the smart thing is to get a grade from the NFL, then the smarter thing is to listen to what they say, and not some agent. If he gets a first round grade (I think they say something like 1st or 2nd rd) then go. Anything less come back to school.
