Current Players (Sr.) with Legit shot at NFL

[The PonyGrad]

Zach will be drafted higher than expected because he brings a lot to the table. Tough runner, great blocker, can catch out of the backfield, special teams.

Margus will be 2nd round +/- he will blowup (in a good way) in the combine.

[JasonB]

Line will run faster than expected at the combine, and his quick feet are going to be a major plus. Power guys don't typically have his feet. That and his flexibility on special teams, blocking and pass catching are going to move him up the board.

Margus will be the Dontari Poe of this years draft. Most people won't have heard of him before the combine, but his numbers there should get him a lot of hype.

Obviously he has exceeded all expectations as a 6th round pick, but does Zack Line remind anyone else of Alfred Morris on the Redskins? They're roughly the same size and lack high end speed, but what stands out most to me is their ability to hit the hole very hard, make one hard cut and go. They're both very physical too, obviously. Line's pass catching and special teams ability might be better.

There is definitely a place in the NFL for Reed. Art the very least I would think he could be a star on special teams.

DJ will get drafted assuming he can display good hands during the scouting process. He has great ability.

I don’t think Zack projects as a LB in the NFL. I was referring to a comment in the first post by the author. Not that I don’t think Zack could have been a good collegiate LB, and consequently a possible NFL LB prospect. But, not playing the position in college (he would be an ILB); there is too much going on at that position. With the NFL game speed etc., I think that is too huge of a learning curve to expect from someone.

As alway, I reserve the right to be totaly wrong and full of crap .... no comments please.

ok, i was just confused by the comment. in all fairness, i was drinking when i read this. and will be again shortly...

wasn't that analogy made during one of SMU's broadcasts? maybe the tulane game?

correction. the announcer compared line and morris during the UCF broadcast.

[Rayburn]

Margus might be a J.J. Watt in-the-making.

Speaking of the Texans, Zach would be a perfect fit in Houston.

[MustangStealth]

Detroit is also probably looking for a RB, that would probably be cool for Zach.

[Hoofprint]

That would be awesome, getting to play for his hometown team.

I live out in San Francisco, so I missed both of those games, but I'm glad someone else agrees. I think Zack could have a better career as a ballcarrier(not just a blocker) than many people expect him to.
