Jake Shipley, 3* 2020 DE, Indio (Shadow Hills), CA (OFFERED 4/16/19)

How about development?

Croots know what schools are pushing out draft picks.

Over the very recent recruiting cycles are we hearing this consistently from our targets ... and from industry people.

It's paying off because croots know that a uw offer really means and represents something.

You do realize Oregon is set up to have a big NFL draft class, right?

As much as you shit on player development at Oregon, two players on the edge were just drafted into the NFL. Also, if you didn’t see big leaps in development by Carlberg, Baker and Faoliu, we just aren’t going to agree on the topic.

Big Joe can develop and has a history of it.

What do you mean by big? Be specific. How many 1st round picks? 2nd round?

We've been hearing about Oregon's NFL draft prospects for years but they haven't had a 1st or second round draft pick since 2016.

When they went 0-fer in 2017 there were some very specific predictions made by a certain Duck fan regarding Royce Freeman and Darren Carrington. Those didn't turn out too well.

Royce was drafted and Darren was a graduate transfer to Utah and a character risk after being kicked out.

I don’t know of any Duck fans thinking the last three classes had any sort of NFL talent.

I was told Jalen Jelks was going to be a 1st rounder.

Not by me...had he gotten a 1st round grade he would’ve gone.
 
"One scout on hand said to me that UW "dodged a bullet" as far as Shipley is concerned. This scout felt he was probably topped out physically and his frame wasn't what you're looking for in an edge player. Honestly, I liked Shipley and thought he'd be a solid pickup, but for people who really dive into this stuff, the feeling is that Shipley isn't as much of a miss as some might think. Take it for what it's worth."

I am curious how Oregon sees him frame wise.

He was getting first round hype FOR deciding to stay his Senior season by NFL scouts. Then what happened? #OregonDevelopment

More damning than the headline, the article says he was projected as a second day pick if he had come out early.

Oops.

So no specific predictions, bummer.

We were told Royce was going to be a first round pick not third.

Oops.

I maintained going into his senior year that he was a tweener even in college. The dude can’t put on weight. His testing numbers were something he already knew.

I also can’t see Throck as better than a 3rd rounder. I see Lemieux as a better prospect.

There are 8 players making the draft boards and I expect a couple more to play themselves into a draft spot. I also would say 2 of those 8 go undrafted.

So 8 + a couple - 2 = 8 ducks drafted?

Third round pretty conservative on Throckmorton. Lemieux in 2nd round? Herbert 1st? Anyone else?

No, I have no specifics on anyone. Just that is will be a good NFL class.
 
A depth chart is pretty easy to figure out. There is definitely early playing time available in 2020.

Quality recruits don't worry about depth charts.

You have to be kidding. Outside of the program’s prestige and location, it’s the biggest draw for a program.

Right. I think that's why the true blue blood programs have so much trouble recruiting...they have too much 4 and 5* talent on their rosters.

Oh wait...

Outside of PROGRAM PRESTIGE...

Also, If Alabama and Clemson are fighting for a recruit in say Southern Florida, position need will be a big factor.
