I think it's clear OSU wants to take 2 DL down the stretch. If I had to rank them in terms of likelihood they would be Landers-Gallimore-Wilkins-Beckner.

How do you project them in terms of talent, and the staffs projected order? Landers is the only one I've seen recent film of and he looks extremely impressive in his senior year. Beckner has the highest ranking of the 4 and Gallimore and Wilkins are ranked pretty much the same. This looks to be the biggest area of need on the team. AuTX, beat me to it.

I personally would still have Beckner Jr. #1 because of his rare athletic ability as well as potential. Also it would be an opportunity to tap into the ESL pipeline, but I would have Landers a close #2. Landers despite having a great senior season and not overly imposing size wise still has a lot of upside as a prospect. His technique, motor, knowledge of blocking schemes and nastiness IMO would make him a candidate to play early wherever he goes.

The other two are great prospects with semi elite tools but are raw and would need refinement from Coach Johnson

If you look at Daylon Mack's film and look at Landers's film there isn't any difference except (Mack plays some fullback...lol)

I stopped after 2:16 because I think I get how the rest is going to go. How the hell is this guy just coming up now? He's extremely impressive and the comparisons to Bennett are IMO spot on but I feel he has a big more of a mean streak. Shorter but stocky, has a unbelievable swim move, great hands, finds the ball, and what I love is he explodes through people. Boy I don't care about stars with this one I hope we can get Landers.

I have no clue if this comparison is fair or not, and maybe he was more of a space eater and less explosive than Landers, but how about Haskins?

Not to dog on Hankins but he was a little bit more sloppy than Landers but the #52 and the surprising agility for sure remind me of big Hank. Still think Bennett is a perfect comparison with how quick he gets between blockers but like I said definitely more of a streak of badness in Landers

I rate Beckner and Gallimore slightly above the other two because they have elite/prototypical NFL size right now. I am not as sold on Wilkins as others so I have them on my board as Gallimore/Beckner/Landers/Wilkins. I admit I was late to the party on Landers as well...wasn't until someone who was at the St. Ed's game texted me and asked me to look him up that I started to watch a little film.
