So who will be in our top 10 - two deep.  Help me out.  

My best guess if everyone is healthy, 4 Deep. Totally my opinion just based on things ive heard. And this isnt including a FB or a 2 TE package. 

 

Position 1st string 2nd string 3rd string 4th string
QB Casey Thompson Jeff Sims Logan Smothers or Chubba Purdy Heinrich Haarberg 
RB Anthony Grant Ajay Allen Gabe Ervin Jr. Rahmir Johnson
WR Marcus Washington Zavier Betts Jaidyn Doss Shawn Hardy
WR Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda Malachi Coleman Victor Jones Jr Demitrius Bell
WR - Slot Billy Kemp Joshua Fleeks Ty Hahn Baron Miles Jr.
TE Thomas Fidone II Arik Gilbert Janiran Bonner Nate Boerkircher
RT Turner Corcoran Bryce Benhart Jacob Hood Dylan Parrott
RG Ethan Piper Henry Lutovsky Justin Evans Jenkins Keegan Menning
C Ben Scott Ezra Miller Joey Mancino  
LG Nouredin Nouili Sam Sledge Jason Maciejczak (may play DL) Grant Seagren
LT Teddy Prochazka Gunnar Gottula Brock Knutson Mason Goldman (May play DL)

I'd love to say Grant is number one bc he is in my book but bc he is behind the eight ball and Gabe Ervin has all this kool aid flowing around him right now you would probably say he in the coaches view is the number one running back.

Dang.  Sometimes you wonder if his body too big to play this sport - esp the physical grind as an o-lineman.

Rob Zatechka has said that he worries Prochazka is too tall to stay healthy as an o-lineman or football player. Playing o-line puts too much stress on the long, levers of his body.

I think it's a stretch to compare NFL lineman to a kid who's played 2.5 games at Nebraska.  Sure there are examples but they are the exception athletically.

The post I was responding to was referring specifically to OL height which is what I posted about.

The NFL has 16 at 6'8" and only 3 under 6'4".

I realize that NFL offensive linemen are getting taller and bigger, however those are all grown men, who have had years to develop their bodies and get a solid base for their height.  Prochazka was thrusted into the starting line-up as a true freshman, and wasn't where he needed to be physically and strength wise.  His body is more susceptible to "break" given his height and lack of girth.  Minnesota has had taller offensive linemen, but they have also been huge physically (350 lbs plus).  Prochazka is 6'10" and only 320 lbs.
