Glasgow now slated to go 2nd-3rd round per NflDraftInsider

Submitted by Alumnus93 on

Am only slightly sorry if this is SIAP...because this is fantastic... apparently Glasgow has performed so well at the Senior Bowl that the @NFLDraftInsider  said hes earned himself into the 2nd or 3rd round.  I feel slightly vindicated because I predicted he'd go in the 6th, not undrafted as many projected. They also said that he may be too big to play center, which is seems odd.  Anyway, what a story this is, for I've followed him from the time ESPN Insider reported he signed as a preferred walkon to the Buckeyes,  then swapped out and came to us.  I hope the Titans get him, as Lewan was a fan of his play.

Drevno may get a nice string of NFL lineman starting with Glasgow.   Wishful thinking that Kalis and Braden will get coached up this last year...same with Magnuson.  Cole I think is a shoo in.  I'm rooting for all of them.

The OL was a significant weakness last year.  Despite significant improvement in pass blocking, the run blocking rated out as one of the worst blocking units in the country (RBs aside).

If Glasgow is an NFL-starter (as such a lofty draft stock would indicate) then what does that say about Cole, Mangnuson, Kalis and Braden?  That puts more of the blame for poor run blocking on them.

In some ways it's discouraging for the 2016 football team that the departing 2015 OLmen is rating so highly, even though it's great for Glasgow and would be a positive outcome for future recruiting pitches if he has success.

I don't think he'll go that high...not because he's not good, but this is one of the best interior OL drafts in awhile. Especially at the center position (if that's where he projects).

That said, I wouldn't be shocked to see him in the 4th or 5th round. It'll be interesting to see if Henry is truly on that 2nd round bubble or if he'll slide into a similar part of the draft.

On my phone sometimes too, and I'm always sure to check for proper spelling and punctuation no matter what.  And you aren't educated, you received an education.  Those are two different meanings.

You don't count very well either I see. Por ejemplo; 

 You are randomely insulting me...

Methinks that is longer, not shorter than the actual spelling, but you're clearly more intelligent than I.

I hope the Titans don't get him, because I like Glasgow and the Titans might be the most aimless franchise in the NFL right now.

But seriously, good for him.  I'm glad the NFL is looking past the "walk-on" label and seeing what we've seen the last few years.

In Scotland, they call a sneak-attack headbutt during a fight a "Glasgow Kiss." I think the Glasgow brothers should pick that up and run with it. During games...
