It's official: Homer "hearts" John Raymon

The fact that they put him at WR is awesome. Then he drills the kid once it gets picked. Hilarious.

The INT was an awful pass, more like a punt. Lets use him as a gunner on punts!

I, too, was thinking FB. Appears to have the size, strength, willingness to take a hit, and can carry the ball in tough yardage situations. Looks like he is a tremendous athlete who can play a variety of positions. Will be interesting to see where the staff puts him.

From the pictures, he seems to have very long arms. Could be a nightmare for opposing QB's.

not calling the FB position a waste, but i would hate to think of 'wasting' a guy of his size and ability at FB. This guy is either a DE or OT.

Looking at his size again, you're right. He's a decent sized kid now and likely to get bigger while he's here.

I can see that ... however, the way he seems to react ... I really think that he'll be able to stick on D.

If he proves to not be a very good "reactive" player ... then yeah, he could definitely project to the OL too. However, my bet is that he "reacts" well ... and Norm and Co won't let him go.

I really like his wingspan, too (supposedly 6'10", correct?) That and his feet are part of why I think he'd be good at LT. On the other hand, he'll probably be good at holding contain as a DE a la Iwebema, Kampman and Binns so I'm excited to see him at either position. In a lot of ways he's the prototypical great Iowa recruit because he could grow into so many different positions.

EXACTLY! Another reason why I'm so excited about Coe too. The dude could develop into a fine thundering RB .... or grow into one heck of a LEO LB and/or DE. A lot of versatility ...

McMinn is intriguing too. Lanky and fast ... he reminds me a lot of a DE version of Vier. With his skill set and "length" ... he could develop into a dangerous DE ... much like Northwestern's Wootton or Brown ... or possibly like Wisky's Watt. However, who knows?
