Penn State at Ohio State


Clubs attending: New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, New York Giants, San Diego Chargers,Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens, Jacksonville Jaguars, Green Bay Packers, Cleveland Browns,Washington Commanders, Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys.

Three top players: Penn State (QB Christian Hackenberg, DL Anthony Zettel, DL Carl Nassib); Ohio State (DE Joey Bosa, RB Ezekiel Elliott, LB Darron Lee).

Matchup to watch: Hackenberg's offensive line will face its stiffest challenge of the year in pass protection against Bosa, Adolphus Washington and others. PSU's chance of staying close will rest heavily not only on Hackenberg getting adequate time, but on Hackenberg getting rid of the ball on time, as well.

This is the second time they have been at an Ohio St game. Wondering if they are checking Hackenberg under the glare of the bright lights.

There are several Buckeyes that we could draft. That team has some serious talent.

hackenberg sucks.....he is vastly overrated. we better not be looking at him as a prospect. However, if he is there as a UDFA, I would be ok with signing him.....I hope some team like Washington or Houston wastes their first round pick on the scrub.

I hope they crossed both him and Jones off their list

I do want me some Braxton Miller though.

I really like Elliott, that DT, and WR Thomas.....but all 3 are most likely gone when we pick at 31. Their S, Bell, looked good.

Based on what I have read, scouts have decided it is the offense they are running, not Hackenberg FWIW. He'll still go high.

I'm a PSU fan and have watched all of their games so far...Hackenberg isn't that bad. I'd say it's about 50% coaching, 25% crappy o line, and Hackenburg deserves some of the blame with the last 25%. He should primarily be in a shotgun spread and if he has time to throw he's going to deliver strikes down the field and move the offense. Apparently Franklin doesn't see it that way though...I will say that I think Hackenberg is only a borderline 1st round talent though, his accuracy leaves a lot to be desired at times and he lacks the functional mobility in the pocket I think all good QB's need to have.


But don't sleep on the Penn State D line though...there are 3 pro prospects there in Anthony Zettle, Carl Nassib, and Austin Johnson. Hopefully we are looking at them along with Bosa and Adolphus Washington from the Buckeyes. And that Ezekiel guy is pretty good too...
