The distinction of being the number 1 overall pick to a bad organization doesn't interest Moore.
After black Monday and all the coaching changes coming it's not complicated , why moote will stay at Oregon.

There isn't a compelling reason for him to leave.
I would agree...especially in the age of NIL, if a kid can make $millions now by staying in college another year, it reduces the temptation to jump to the NFL for big bucks.
A bird in hand.

IF you are going to be a top 3-4 pick? Chances are high you are going to a bad org..Especially at QB
This year is no exception:
Raiders
Jets
Cards
Titans
Giants
Cleveland
Any surprises in this top 6? Looks pretty familiar to me

I love Delane. However, I think we played ourselves out of a shot at him at 18. I do really like Brandon Cisse from South Carolina. I think he is a special player.

I would take an OT, ours are on the sidelines too much.

They are probably the best tandem in the league

I was told he's going to d sign a deal with Nike.
With that and nil money he can take out a major insurance policy thrul loyds of London.
Ducks roster will be improved next year. Be interesting to see how many players declare early.
That More is a red shirt sophomore and only 20 years old is part of it, He only weighs 205 lbs.....

I mentioned the Vikings might be wise to take a tackle early because of the constant injury concerns along our line. Alec Lewis had this to say regarding Christian Darrisaw;
"Lewis also noted that team must spend the next few months ensuring Darrisaw will have a "normal schedule next season" and "any lingering uncertainty would dictate their being aggressive at the tackle position, either via the draft or free agency."
To me, the Darrisaw situation was one of the stranger stories of the year. The fact that there is still potential "lingering concern" about his health status for next season is highly concerning

What Lewis says doesn't make a lot of sense. The earliest we're going to have any real, usable information about Darrisaw that would eliminate "uncertainty" is OTAs and Minicamp, both of which occur well after the draft and free agency. If the Vikings don't have the highest paid tackle tandem in the NFL, they're not far off. Imagine the foolishness of adding a free agent left tackle to that. And why would he sign here in the first place?
Darrisaw probably just needs some time away from the daily grind.

I'm guessing they are wanting him in the building this offseason recovering and monitoring his recovery as it didnt go as expected this season. If they have concerns about the long term health of that knee, they'll know and can address the position accordingly.
