Here is a list of players CBSSports.com lists in their NFL Draft for 2011. I am wondering where or to whom we think these players go. I will give my predictions with the player.
Julian Vandevelde - I might be in the minority but I think Julian goes in the 6th or 7th round. He has a mean streak to him on the field and OL under Ferentz means there isn't a lot of teaching they need to do with the player.
Jeff Tarpinian - undrafted but his skills get him tryouts.
Ricky Stanzi - 4th or 5th round by a team like the Steelers or another already solid team looking for a back-up that could develop or just hold a clipboard.
Andrew Schulze - undrafted but every team is always looking for long snappers. It is a skill that few have so he might have a chance to make it with someone. Can't overstate how much a good long snapper helps the special teams.
Tyler Sash - I have to believe that he was told 3rd or 4th round because I don't see leaving early unless you are certain you have a top half of the draft type of skill. I look for a team needing a safety in a Cover 2 scheme.
Colin Sandeman - undrafted and don't think he gets to any camps. Which is a shame because I think he was underutilized at Iowa.
Allen Reisner - I see a 3rd - 5th round pick. TE from Iowa just means you will play in the NFL or at least that is what it seems like lately. I see a playoff team taking him.
Paki O'Meara - undrafted and no camps
Daniel Murray - undrafted and could get looks because being a Kicker in the NFL is the quickest way in and the quickest way out of the league.
Brett Morse - undrafted but he will get into a camp because the FB has been making a comeback in the NFL lately.
Josh Koeppel - undrafted and no camps
Karl Klug - 7th round to undrafted, I see him bouncing around with teams like Mitch King has. This stinks because he was my favorite DL the last 2 years.
Troy Johnson - undrafted and no camps
DJK - 5th -7th round, No one can deny the kids ability and now it looks like the drug stuff is kind of going away. He drops because of the off-field stuff but he will be drafted. I want him on the Jets learning from Santonio Holmes.
Jeremiha Hunter - undrafted and he gets signed but probably bounces around with teams.
Brett Greenwood - 7th round or undrafted, I actually think he will impress some teams at workouts and could get drafted by a team to be backup to a proven safety.
Ryan Donahue - 6th round - undrafted, a good punter is hard to find and he is probably #1 or #2 on the board and once he learns to kick out of bounds he could become one of the best in the NFL.
Adrian Clayborn - 1st or 2nd round, I think he was hurt much of this year but I have been under the belief that he is the 2nd Best Pro Prospect on the Iowa DL since last year. He is a solid DE but not the game breaker people thought after last year.
Christian Ballard - 1st or 2nd round, I believe his freak numbers and ability to play DE and DT will make him very good looking to every team. He has ability to play the 4-3 DE or DT plus the 3-4 DE which is basically a Hybrid of the 4-3 DE & DT.
What does everyone think on it?
