All Iowa Football Team---Post Bowl Edition

I thought I'd just leave this here.......
I don't think there is any doubt that Stanley is a good pro prospect.
Same goes for Fant (though he has to improve on his blocks).
I do think that ISU ends up with a couple of top half draft picks this year (Montgomery, Butler).
Woah... people are still subscribed to ESPN Insider??
That could be the kiss of death. Last time McShay reached on a QB like that in his way too early first round projections it didn't pan out
Good insight on this

“That’s why it’s named the way-too-early mock draft,” McShay said. “To be completely transparent, it’s the least enjoyable article I write all year but unfortunately it does the most traffic and has the most clicks of anything we do all year. It’s a necessary evil, unfortunately.”
Those clicks depend on getting the mock draft for the following year out quickly while there is still buzz about the previous draft. But that doesn’t allow enough time for things like research and full evaluation by the time the way-too-early mock comes out.
“The hard part is quite honestly I haven’t watched any tape on most of these guys. … I have to rely on what I’ve seen when I’m watching other prospects during the college football season,” McShay said. “Last year specifically with Leidner, he had some flashing moments (the previous season), has the size and has some mobility. And I had conversations with people who had been around him and spoke of the work ethic and how much he loves the game. There were a lot of positives and thoughts he could be an ascending player. Now, three weeks later when I finally sat down and watched tape of Mitch Leidner, I wound up giving him a fifth-round grade.”

Can't be worse than the trend of your avatar pics recently.
Also regarding the PFF lists.
I tried to break it down by conference below
BIg Ten: 13
SEC: 9
Pac 12: 8
ACC: 8
Big 12: 7
C-USA: 4
MAC: 3
Ameican: 2
AAC: 1
Mountain West: 1
By Team:
Wisconsin leads the way with 4 guys on the lists: Michigan, Clemson, Oklahoma, and Oregon were next with 3. Iowa, Boston College, Alabama, Missouri, FAU and Stanford had 2 each. The rest of the teams had 1 guy: Ohio State, Miami: Iowa State, West Virginia, Arizona State Nebraska, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Wyoming: Marlyand, Duke, Washington: Northwestern, Virginia Tech, Houston, Miss. State, Old Dominion, Duke, LSU, Georgia, Kansas State, Texas Tech, Tulsa, Northern Illinois, UCLA, UCF, Buffalo, SMU, Auburn, NC state

I'm honestly surprised Fant is the #1 guy there considering PFF has him down for 7 drops on the season
If he goes pro after this year and doesn't get the proper senior sendoff, the crowd will have to boo him at the Nebraska game right?
I know this is going to confuse some of the hok posters here, but I don't see this as out of the realm of possibility at all.
He has a NFL caliber arm and size. If he makes improvements to his decision making, touch, and reign in the overthrows, he should be right in the mix for the draft.
While reading, I learned we played Wyoming recently.
