I said in the other thread I believe we have top 15 talent…I think CMC was left with an ehhh top 30 starter talent but some major holes in some spots and depth issues… and has upgraded it
In terms of NFL, I think this is where we are at AT THE MOMENT …I believe we will have 7-10 players drafted this year although maybe not a first rounder unless Ward has a big year and NFL teams reach for a QB
Future Top 50 picks, no matter year
Bain DL, So
Mauigao OL, So
(Others I believe are in this group but too early)
Trader, Fr

Other guys I’m confident will get drafted, I think the best bet is rounds 3 to mid 5th, but could slide later or out but definite NFL ability…Some have a chance to move up as well, wouldn’t be a surprise at all.
Ward QB, Sr
Mesidor DE, Sr
Mauigao LB, Sr
Cooper OL, True Junior
Rivers OL, Sr
George WR, Sr
Brown WR, Sr
Restrepo WR, Sr
Baron DE, Sr
(Others in group but too early)
DT Scott, Fr
DL Blount, Fr
———
Upper classmen who can sneak in late with a big year and good testing, or young players that I feel have flashed enough early and are on an NFL path if it continues….Hopefully some of these younger players join the top group after this year
DT Barrow, Sr
DT Jones, Fr
DE Alston, Sr
DB Porter, Sr
DB Brown, True Soph
DB Powell, Sr
S Patterson, Fr
OL Bell, Jr (can’t remember if 2 or 3 yrs eligibility left)
LB Bissainthe, True Jr
LB Pruit, Fr
RB Fletcher, True Soph
RB Lyle, Fr
TE Arroyo, Jr
TE Lofton, Fr
There are other frosh/soph I like obviously (Jones, Joseph,Hayes, Carr, the DE, etc etc…) but too early to put them in …We’ll learn more about some sophs this year.
