2017 Draft?
- Thread starter HawkeyeKing11
- Start date
I think CJ definitely goes with another good year. Strong arm, plays in pro style offense, has speed and vision. He could be first team all Big 10 next year and sneak into the first or second round IMO.
Jaleel Johnson I think will be a solid draft pick.
Kittle rounds 3-5 depends on the year he has. Croston is ranked the 20th ot. In the class so maybe a 7th rounder, he is a Hawkeye lineman so will prolly get drafted. Leshun if he has a good year could get drafted.. So king, Johnson, Mabin, beathard, kittle. Will be drafted croston and Daniels are a toss up
King, Johnson, Beathard, Mabin, for sure. Toss ups are Croston and Kittle. I love me some Daniels but the way the NFL is going to a more pass happy, guys like Daniels are a dime a dozen. I think he will get a shot but won't be drafted. Beathard has a chance to go top 3 rounds if he can improve from last year. King goes top 2 rounds along as he doesn't implode and I think Mabin goes 2nd to 3rd round. Johnson could be a 2nd-3rd round also.
Johnson will be first off the board, King next, Mabin not far behind BC he has good frame for NFL db....kittle gets drafted especially if he bulks up. Daniels will perform well in combine, holds several Iowa records for RB, much quicker than you think....so maybe? Croston gets late round, Iowa lineman get drafted. Does Vandy get a shot, very productive and much faster than most think....Good fit in New England offense...CJB gets drafted and could be 1st-7th round. If he is productive next year he could go high BC he will also do well at combine with arm strength and quick release, runs well, and gets boast being under center in pro offense
Think it's important to remember CJ played most of the season injured.
A fully healthy mobile Beathard has first round potential.
As good as he was this year he could be significantly better next year.

Although I mostly agree, 1st round is still a pretty bold statement and a ton of talent probably coming out....as bold as it is to say, who knows how good he can be when 100% all season
The B1G hasn't had a first round quarterback since 1995 (i think). I love CJ and think he should be drafter but will most likely end up a mid round pick with another solid, healthy year. Maybe I am wrong, and honestly, I hope I am but I don't think he goes in the first round.
Granted the big ten haven't had many qbs be first round picks there definitely should have. Brady Brees Russell. You could make an argument cousins.. Pryor would have been one
