I don't pick the elite prospects but a player who I seen and like what I saw; be it play, attitude, or raw talent. As the year progresses I provide updates and draft value. Feel free to comment on mine or provide your own.
QB- Joe Burrow: I mentioned him in one of the QB threads about 3 weeks ago as I heard Pat Kirwan rave about him and he's already increased his stock. Walters doesn't have him going in the first 2 rounds of their most current draft, so using that he's available for our 3rd. Tonight should go a long way in raising or lowering his stock
ILB-Erroll Thompson: Watched him play my Cats a couple years ago and he's a big ILB that can cover ground. Character is high as he is one of the 2 Team Captions for MSU and he's just a Junior. Walter currently has him rated as their 5th best ILB and current draft stock is our 3rd.
OL-Calvin Throckmorten: Dude started a every oline position in 2018. Some of your better olinemen are known for their intelligence and this dude has a degree in Human Physiology and currently carries a 3.84 GPA in Medical School. Walter currently has him at their 6th ranked interior olineman and 16th ranked OT carrying a draft stock of early 4th.
WR- Chase Claypool: Think Auden Tate who can run and catch. Chase is currently Walters 15 ranked WR carrying a 3rd rd grade. Here's a story that speaks to the kid's heart https://strongofheart.nd.edu/profiles/chase-claypool-2017/
How about Ben Bredeson from Michigan? He is looked at as more of a technician, but is strong at the point of attack. Could probably get stronger, but his technique can make up for the strength disparity.
