OL drafted since 2000?

[Hawkfan_08]

I saw a stat that we weren't even in the top 5. I was a little surprised by that. I guess we do have a lot of guys who are UDFA that make it but I thought the number was 15 for 5th?

Anyone know where we are at?

I am really tired and probably forgetting some major guys but weren't the following drafted:
Steinbach
Gallery
Lightfoot
Porter
Yanda
Bulaga
Reiff
Daniels
Scherff
Nelson
Eubanks?
Wirfs
Ferentz?

Again, this was off the top of my head. I don't even remember if some of these guys were actually drafted.

Don’t think Lightfoot, Eubanks or Ferentz we’re drafted.

I know this isn't the number of OL, but ESPN weighted each position and ranked them. Iowa's OL was 9th since 1998. Iowa was 2nd in TE's.

Porter wasn t drafted either. Signed as a UDFA with Green Bay and never made the roster.

Thanks. I was pretty sure Ferentz and Eubanks weren't. I thought maybe Lightfoot but that 02 line was salty.

The stat was on BTN last night during the Wisconsin game.

Evidence of why Iow has had lots of high NFL OL draft choices, but really has had very few good OL. Lots of stars, but also weak links

Alabama has literally the number 1 and 2 ranked offensive tackles committed in this class. Let that sink in a little, # 1 and # 2. Hawkeye fans are ecstatic about getting the # 18 OT, which we should be because he’s going to be a great one but just think if that’s the kind of recruiting classes a team gets.

Alabama has the number 2 and number 5 tackle.

Guard play. We've had a lot of star OTs and some quality centers over the years, but our guards have just been a lot of "names" to fill out the line, in many seasons.

That's not to say we haven't had any good ones, but it's also kinda funny that some of our best OTs in the KF era ended up at OG in the NFL (a couple may even go in the Hall of Fame).
