StPaulHusker Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 With all the talk about how deep the D line is in this draft, I hate to say it but it doesn't bode well for VV. I hope he can go to the combine and do something absolutely amazing to turn that around. I don't see it happening. Quote Link to comment

I think there is a considerable gap between Collins and Valentine. And right now Collins is projected mostly as a mid-late 2nd rounder. I don't see Valentine going 1 to 2 rounds after that. Unless his combine is something of Mike Mamula biblical proportions. Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Janovich is a very versital player. That is needed in the NFL with small rosters. He will play special teams, FB, and I don't see why he wouldn't do well at TE. Quote Link to comment
MichiganDad3 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 The Nebraska DL were beasts against the run last season, but the same guys could rarely make a QB in the pocket break a sweat. That may be an issue. Do DTs in the NFL normally do that? (I really don't know) Well they know if the play is a pass play within a second, and often before the ball is even snapped, at which point the DTs are all about getting pressure on the QB. The DEs and blitzing linebackers may log more sacks, but the DTs need penetration to chase the QB, or simply prevent him from planting his feet. You can always call your rushing play to go away from Ndamukong Suh, but you might have to double team him on a pass play, which creates an opening for the other linemen and any linebacker or DB you might want to blitz. Last year Nebraska gave mediocre QBs way too much time to plant their feet and watch the routes develop. I don't remember if Collins was constantly getting double-teamed or just wasn't as effective creating pressure. Collins was double and triple teamed at times last year, because teams had no fear of NU's D-ends. There were plenty of times where Collins got pressure on the QB last year, and I don't get the narrative that he didn't play very good. I think too many people expected him to be like Suh, when that's not fair. There has been only one Suh in the history of NU's program. Di you mean "there's only been one SUH in the history of CFB ? He should have won the Heisman. Quote Link to comment
NUtopia Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I can not relate to this. Wow, if he doesn't make it in the NFL he has a very bright future as a piano mover... Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm not one that reads a lot about the draft leading up to it. I'm guessing that Collins and Janno get drafted and VV goes free agent. Is that kind of what the experts are saying? Quote Link to comment
NUtopia Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Bama has had ~36 NFL picks in the last 3 years, it seems. Quote Link to comment
