Pocic/boutte I really would rather have Vadal back at LG and Pocic out at RT. But either way, this line will be very good.


I feel the same way. Why move Vadal to a spot he is unfamiliar with, and away from a spot (LG) where he was dominant? Pocic is must more athletic IMO, and well suited for right OT. LT/LG would be set with Hawkins and Vadal. I like Dodd at C (big body), with Brumfield and Boutte at OG. Solid all the way across, with good depth in Clapp, Malone, Austin and incoming FR.

Vadal is familiar with RT, he started there at the end of his true freshman season. I just think he's a dominant guard.

Because otherwise he wouldn't be on the team. The odds are that when Vadal was debating about going pro, we had to woo him to stay. Part of the deal was probably that he would get a tackle spot ahead of Pocic who is clearly a better tackle prospect. Pocic has to tolerate it because he can't leave yet. You want to take a guess at where Pocic plays in 2016 if he's on the team? It'll be left tackle, so he can sign for gazillions.
