Normally we are waiting forever for the college all-star games but when your season lasts an extra month, you have plenty of other football to talk about! We're just a few weeks away from the combine now. Winning the superbowl rules!
Anyways, lets see your draft/offseason wishlists! I'll go first:
1.32)
Benjamin Ijalana, T/G, Villanova
6'4" 320 lbs
Ijalana was a dominant LT at the FCS level and will at least get a chance to show that he can do it in the NFL. Ijalana is a little short for a tackle but has the length and athleticism to play the position. I envision Ijalana seeing playing time at LG this year before being tried at LT when Clifton hangs it up.
2.32)
Dontay Moch, DE/LB, Nevada
6'1" 230 lbs
Elite first step. And second step. And third step. Best case scenario Dontay is a special player that can blow past offensive tackles and run with elite tight ends. Having him on the field will make it difficult to turn the corner on this defense. In his first year he should add speed to an already speedy defense and provide a great athlete and playmaker for special teams.
3.32)
Nate Irving, LB, NC State
6'1" 240 lbs
FATALITY
Desmond Bishop is in, Barnett or Hawk is likely out. Either way some inside linebacker depth is needed. Irving is a nasty defender who excels doing the dirty work but is also underrated in coverage. He's got a knack for interior blitzes and brings a nasty attitude our defense is missing without Barnett.
4.32)
Curtis Marsh, CB, Utah State
6'0" 195 lbs
A modern day Herb Adderley. This former RB has only been a corner for two seasons but is already a speedy ballhawk. With the gains Shields made this year, Curtis Marsh is a no brainer for our club.
5.32)
Dwayne Harris, WR, East Carolina
5'10" 205 lbs
A polished slot WR and capable kick returner. Looks and plays like Devon Bess. Harris will return kicks and slowly become part of the offense as DD is phased out.
5.C) (from Aaron Kampman)
Willie Smith, T, East Carolina
6'5" 305 lbs
Another East Carolina guy but this is a pick I'm excited about. Smith is a gifted athlete in all aspects of his game. With some NFL coaching I wouldn't be surprised if he could take over for Clifton in a year.
6.32)
Markus White, DE/OLB, FSU
6'4" 262 lbs
White will be 24 by draft time but just had a breakout year. He's got speed to threaten the edge and a non-stop motor. I expect him to show some impressive measureables at the combine. White could find himself a regular in our 2-4 opposite Clay Mathews.
7.1)(from Carolina)
Ryan Jones, CB, Northwest Missouri State
5'11" 195 lbs
Another typical TT cornerback. Has size, speed, and some ball skills. Seems to have goofy footwork sometimes but he is physical in the run game and should contribute on special teams.
