Hunter Henry and Julian Hill are... fine, but not enough to convince the organization to ignore the position during the draft for the fifth time in the last six seasons. CJ Dippre and Marshall Yang, the only other two options on the roster, aren't exactly long-term answers, so it's time to invest in the future and draft someone who could potentially fit that description.
I'd go as far as to say these are the five likeliest options: Oscar Delp School: Georgia Height: 6' 5" Weight: 245 lbs Hand: 9 1/2" Arm: 31 5/8" Scouting Combine: N/A 2025 Stats: 14 G, 20 REC, 261 REC YDS, 1 TD Delp has routinely been tied to the organization, as there is a lot of interest on both sides, according to Tony Pauline , and will be a pre-draft visit, according to Arye Pulli . If those reports are any indication of how things could unfold during the draft, fans might want to start prepping jerseys. Beck finds Delp for the third straight week and the Dawgs are on the board.
