And it's Dylan Fairchild. Guard Georgia

There's the O-linemen we've been waiting for.

I think the Cats will be happy with that pick. Reviews are solid. Worst case he's better than Volson and quality depth off the bench. Best case he's better than Kappa and Volson and we have a minor upgrade. I don't think he has the size to be a top tier G.

Edit - size is a bad description here (like Mrs B1 says to hide her disappointment). He's a tall and heavy guy at 6-5 325lbs. Bulk is probably the better term. He's built like a tackle instead of a more traditonal guard.. But he does have wrestling pedigree so that will help in the trenches.

A second team All American at Georgia, Fairchild started 24 games during his career, all at left guard.

He's 6-5, 325 pounds and will turn 22 in a couple of weeks.

I clarified my comment above. At your expense of course.

We need another 6’6” guy!

Draft Analysis: B-
Fairchild is a project, but like the other Georgia offensive linemen, he had an incredible combine performance and might be able to start with the right development.

I like this pick more than other two. Sounds like he played a lot better in 23 than 24. Hopefully that was due to style of play or coaching not talent. I do hope he is ready to play day 1.

The Sanders saga is just about to become must see tv this weekend. They just said if he goes undrafted he can't go back to college. What a shit show and Deon has nobody to blame but himself.

Edit - and now Milroe goes to SEA! Panic time in the Sanders house!
