  • If Chris Faulk comes back to full strength (which is likely), he will be an absolute steal for someone. Was an all-sec player but missed last season with an injury. Plus, he plays LT, most important position besides QB.

    Someone will get a good one aka value pick, in the later rounds.

    I think well have a decent amount of first or second day picks in the next few years just not the depth throughout the later rounds.

    Tell me more about these first two day picks... I thought you were a bit "seniored out" after this year. What top day talent do you still have?

    No flame I just didn't know you had some aces in the hole.

    Not really, our offense will be better imo. The defense loses the leaders in Hill, Mauti, and Hodges. Dt will be a question mark, but PSU always has quality linebackers. There's a good bit of talent in State College.

    Allen Robinson may end up coming out next year if his junior season rivals this year, he was WR of the year in conference as a soph. Deion Barnes is gonna be a handful, he had 6 sacks as a Freshman this year, and was the BIG Frosh POY. Then there are a couple of TE's who are very talented. Kyle Carter was putting up big time numbers before he got injured, and despite missing 3+ games he was on the all conference freshman team. Jesse James, in addition to having a cool name has silly size(6'7'' 265 and can run), caught 5 TD's after picking up some slack when Carter got hurt.. Adrian Amos is another guy I think could get drafted fairly high. His most natural position is Safety and now he'll get to concentrate on that imo. Last year he had to play a lot of everything in the secondary. Not trying to sound too homerish so I'll stop there, but I think there's enough talent to stay in the top half of the Big or better until the sanctions end.
