A lot of great players in NFL history have won these awards.  Its never a guarantee but you look at the list of players that won these awards and there are a lot of great players in NFL history

 

Congratulations to all of them.

Those are all solid players and prospects as well. Jonathan Allen and Cam Robinson out of Alabama could both end up being top ten selections in a few months. Reuben Foster shouldn't make it out of the first round either. Jake Butt reminds me a lot of Heath Miller coming out of Michigan. He's not the top rated TE prospect coming out of his class but he's been a decent and productive receiver in Harbaugh's pro-style offense. He just needs to improve in the run blocking department. I'd love to steal him in the 3rd RD. 

A lot of time between now and the draft. But I'd almost be disappointed if we don't land Jonathan Allen. I think he could be a rookie pro bowler. 

I'm so happy D'Onta Foreman was recognized as the best RB in the country after getting robbed of the chance to be a Heisman finalist. He deserves it.

While Adoree' Jackson is a really good talent, it's iffy that he was the best CB in the PAC-12, let alone the entire nation.

Not busting your chops, but we thought that about Myles Jack and Jalen Ramsey.
