NFL Draft and Combine
« on: February 07, 2017, 03:08:47 PM »
Here is the list, off of nfl.com, of Penguin draft prospects:

93   Derek Rivers           DE   9   Youngstown State   Sr   6-4   250   3
329   Avery Moss           DE   28   Youngstown State   rSr   6-3   262   7-FA
629   Kenny Bishop           CB   65   Youngstown State   Sr   5-11   185   末
767   David Rivers III   CB   76   Youngstown State   Sr   6-1   185   末
785   LeRoy Alexander   SS   36   Youngstown State   rSr   6-0   195   末
825   Jody Webb           RB   60   Youngstown State   rSr   5-8   178   末
845   Brock Eisenhuth   OG   49   Youngstown State   rSr   6-4   350   末
882   Martin Ruiz           RB   63   Youngstown State   Sr   5-11   205   末

The 4th column is position rank and the last column is projected round as of yesterday morning. Rivers stock is up, while Moss' stock has dropped. The last time we had this many was one of the Marcus Mason years. Kent is way down this year.

Other MVC teams and number of players on the list:
-ILS  = 4
-ISU  = 2
-MSU  = 1
-NDSU = 3
-UNI  = 5
-SDSU = 2
-USD  = 2
-WIU  = 2
- YSU  = 8

Largest by far is Michigan with 24, by comparison OSU is 11. WVU a more-than-respectable 14.

I feel bad for Avery because that ankle is really hurting his ability to show his stuff they was Derek has been able to show his. 
It's nice to have them on the list, but the only other YSU NFL prospect, and he would have been a stretch, was Alexander, but the drugs will do him in.  Webb is fast enough, but too small, Brock is too slow, David and Kenny were OK for YSU, but limited coverage skills, and of course, Ruiz, guns are the kiss of death.
We have some BIG holes to fill at DE, but if we find a couple in the new class, we should be a contender again.
