Between Sunday evening and Wednesday morning is what I heard

We might as well snag another 5* OL so the team can field an OL to practice against this DL. I can't believe this is my life.

FWIW, I went ahead and logged a predicition for Parks to land with the Irish

All day long, Dawg!

can the guy who has backed into the composite class calculator tell us what our composite will be with landing Parks?

Hearing Parks’ decision will come between 3 to 6 moons or 3 to 6 sleeps.

He’s actually one of our lowest rated recruits at 92.36 (though still currently above Champ Monds and Segun Alexander).

I heard he’s delaying his commitment via smoke signal because of Canadian Wildfires interfering with air space.

You're 100% correct. Like at all positions there are elite NGs that were lowly ranked coming out of high school and developed in college. Graham is a good example. Some other recent guys that come to mind are Jordan Davis and Vita Vea.

There are also a bunch of guys that were ranked right in a similar range as Parks.

Looking at the 247 rankings there are very few true NGs ranked ahead of Parks. Of course it could be a down year for the position, but most of the guys ahead of him other have swing 3T-NG flexibility or are pure 3Ts.

Ravens have been sent to all corners of the Realm. We will know the truth of this. There will be justice.

Rarely are guys ranked as pure NG's. Most just fit into the "DL" category now, alot like most defensive ends / rush linebackers fall into the "edge" category. You have to really watch the film to see how the player projects.

That said, alot of teams running 40 fronts have gotten away from a true NG / DT tandem anyways. Just like a lot of modern 40 fronts have gotten away from a traditional SDE and WDE. Hell, a lot of teams just play left / right corners now, rather than field / boundary. As the game advances into a pass first era, there is an enormous emphasis on all members of a front 7 having pass rush capabilities and at least members of the defense having quality coverage skills as well. So many teams (Notre Dame included) are playing nickel as their base and bringing sub package rush DL onto the field as often as possible. Even dime sub packages seem as / more popular than ever.
