Here is a thread to talk about the top names for the 2018 NFL Draft.

Another name to add who is going to get major looks this fall is San Diego TE Ross Dwelley.

Do you think it's the southern cal thing or how is SD getting all this talent?

Good for them either way, just impressive for a non-scholly.

I've said it in the MVFC threads but this year the valleys story will be SDSU's offense vs. NDSU's defense. Four kids from that matchup (rightfully imo) on this list.

Just a good coach finding underrated players and developing them. Jamal Agnew was the real deal and should have a solid pro career while Dwelley should get strong looks in 2018 and for the 2019 draft their OT Cooney is likely to get looks with a strong season this year.

I also expect the NDSU DT to get looks as well. I have seen his name on some preseason lists that teams use as well.

I assume you are talking about Tanguay. Have to see how he comes back from the knee injury. So far sounds promising.

Hearing anything about our C/G Kuhnert?

Nothing on the OL yet. When I saw film I thought he was most likely a tryout type player but I'll ask and see what teams think of him.

Do you see DeLuca playing inside at the next level?

I don't know his verified measurables yet but if he is say 6'3 240-250 range then I could see him doing it. If he weighs around 230 and runs a 4.70 or better then I would project him to OLB.

Gotcha. It sounds like he will be playing outside this year for NDSU, but I think that has a lot more to do with personnel than anything else. I think he has plenty of speed.
