No DJK is a bad sign for him, he is really going to have to shine in the TX game since he probably won't get a team workout either. The only other ommission I can think of would be Greenwood. Hopefully he gets a good shot somewhere.

DJK will have a personal workout, I'm sure.

Suprised not to see Greenwood as well

I'm not surprised Greenwood isn't on the list. He's not the typical FS that the NFL is looking for. He had a good run at Iowa, but I don't think he's NFL caliber.

i really don't think Klug gets drafted, but wouldn't be surprised to see the rest go in the draft. i've heard hunter is on the edge, but i think someone will pick him up.

I don't disagree with this at all. I think most of greenwood's ability comes from above the shoulder pads. He is lacking the physical tools, but you never know.

9 is very impressive and shows what a nice job Ferentz has done at Iowa. How does that compare to other years?

Kind of surprised Nebraska didn't haee 10 at this point. I know he didn't live up to the preseason hype, but I am surprised that Jared Crick was not given a chance to perform at the combine.

I want to say that last year was 7.

the very telling story is to have the same as OSU and Neb with only 1 Olineman, which is usually the specialty.

I count 4 lineman or are you talking about just O?

Agreed that it is impressive when you are getting up there with OSU.

Yup, thats what I meant. You must have caught me pre-edit.

 

[HawkAttack]

Glad to see Hunter is getting a look-see.

 

[edr247]

Had DJK been smart and stayed on the right path, we could have had 10.

Hopefully they all get a fair shot at the next level.

Here is the Hlas story on this:

Only one team will have more players at NFL Draft Combine than Iowa – and you won’t guess it | TheGazette

Only one team with more guys, kind of impressive!

That's just shocking. He was getting first round hype coming into this year. How do you go from that to not even making it to the combine?

Crick was not a SR. and pretty sure he didn't declare to enter the draft. I could be wrong but I believe he will be back at Nebraska next year and at the 2012 combine.

Just more proof how disappointing it was too lose so many close games this year.

Why you gotta bring up old $#it?

He's not a senior and is coming back for senior year.
