2018 Iowa team will be most talented in Ferentz era

[StonesCat]

Bob Sanders had more talent in his bicep alone than the entire current roster . 2002 team best in my lifetime . 2008 2nd best . Sanders alone made the Hawkeyes feared ,

This. The later team had more fringe NFL guys, but there’s a half dozen guys who had major long term NFL impact, plus the fringers, on the 02 team.

It's these kind of statements that lead to disappointment and frustration with life next year.

I know that is a bold statement but consider the following. These picks are made assuming no injuries or off field issues.

Sure NFL draft picks

Stanley
Fant
Hockensen
Wirfs
Jackson
Daniels
IKM

Possible picks
ISM
Paulsen
Young
Recinos

Defense sure picks
Nixon
Epenesa
M. Nelson
A. Nelson
Jackson (assuming he returns)
Hooker

Possibles
Hankins
Stone
Lattimore

Some of these guys are solely based on potential and limited sample size but I honestly believe there could be up to 20 guys on this roster who could play in the NFL.

You're on crack. Seriously.

That poor Gamecock team didn't stand much of a chance.

If only StanzI doesn't get hurt against NW. Probably the greatest "what might have been" in Hawkeye football history.

Agreed.
