How was ND State OL when Sundel and Grey played together?

From bottom 28-32 OL last season to top 10 would be a miracle.

That, my dotnet forum brethren, is the magic of John Schneider, and the OL named after him: Schneider Offense Line!

Cross, Zabel, and Lucas were obvious locks. Im a little concerned. Haynes and Olu were both supposed to be good NFL players. I don't think Sundell and Bradford won the positions because they're going to be rocks, but only because the other 2 were so bad. I could totally see us spending next year's #1 the same as this past draft.

I would not be mad if we added another 1st rounder to the line

I wouldn't hate that in the slightest. I almost prefer it, unless there's just an obvious BPA we just can't pass out on.

Me too!!!!. RG and C are our weakest links amongst the starting 22 . And i believe we'll be picking pretty late in the 1st. Watching Zabel own people has been fun to watch. Bring on the linemen
We don’t have a NT still unless Pili or Hankins are it which they are not. That’s our biggest need to fully unlock the defense. There are some highly rated guys at that position as it sits today.

I think Sundell and Bradford will be good enough and show improvement

All the objective scoring and reviews on Bradford and Sundell’s pre-season performances ranked them both at an elite level. I’d say they’re expected to anchor, barring injury.

Depth, especially at OG is a concern. Barring injuries or a complete collapse from the offseason, I think Sundell and Bradford secure the OL in a way we haven’t seen in many years.

I feel like we are better off heading into this season than last. Mostly the addition of Zabel looking like the read deal and of course the hopeful improvement of Bradford. I always thought Sundell had a legit shot at beating out Olu since the end of last season.

I also feel that has us a little better off depth-wise too. Now we have Olu, Cabeldue, Josh Jones, etc as depth. We might have work to do but if feels better at this point.

I think Cabledue Has some work to do and if we need to roll him out, I’d be nervous. Same with Haynes. Agree on Olu and Jones being good 2nd string…and Jones would probably sub for OG before anyone else on the roster, assuming he’s not feeling a tackle position. This is why I think they go after an OG in the next week or so.

I liked Sundell last season, thought he looked sharper than Olu.

I feel like Cabeldue has the most upside out of all the depth that they've added the last couple seasons.

Yesterdays starting oline:
LT Amari Kight
LG Laumea Sataoa
OC Federico Maranges
RG Bryce Cabeldue
RT Michael Jerrell

Cabeldue is the only one of those guys that I'd hate to lose in cut downs.

Cabeldue performed in the game like he participated in a donut eating contest the night prior.

Yeah I high hopes for Laumea he played ok last year in spot duty but he just doesn’t fit this system as much
