Don't Expect Both Nelson and Iloka to be back.

And truthfully, other than the guy from Fla. St., who is the 3rd overall prospect, I don't see any of the Safety prospects worth taking in the 1st round.  As when I read their scouting reports, I see things on each of them that will take some developmental time to bring them to starter quality.

Yeah, thats what i'm talkin about Sunset.

Great post, you know OSU very well.

We need physical Safeties and Bell is not one.

I think we will bring back Reggie and we will have Shawn to take Iloka's spot, not bad, but not an upgrade either.

Derron Smith for the future and a late round pick is my vote. Take care of the trenches and help these guys out.
