I having been thinking about MSU so much with all these commitments flying in. We keep adding premium talent. Amazing so far! Another topic had my attention as well, I had briefly forgotten how strong the last two recruiting classes have been.
2014
Malik McDowell
Montae Nicholson
Brian Allen
Another Bullough
**All (3) should be NFL players, with 1st-round potential for MM and MN.
2015
Larry Scott
Dowell brothers
Reaquan Williams
Brian Lewerke
***big time gets late last year, no bigger than Larry Scott. Could become MSU's next NFL RB draft pick.
2016
Messiah DeWeaver
The entire receiving haul
Another Allen brother
***we will have a lot of talent in the right places, with more to come
Our current roster might have (6) legitimate 1st-round draft picks (Connor, Shilique, Jack C., LT, Malik, and Montae). Florida State had (3) 1st-round picks in 2013 and (2) 2nd-round picks the same year. FSU had (4) 1st-round picks in 2006 and (3) in 2000. That is three times they have had three or more 1st-round picks in the same year. Alabama did it (3) times as well, back-to-back-to-back from 2011-2013. What I am trying to say is those are the two biggest NFL producing schools in the country. MSU could get three 1st-round draft picks next year if Conklin leaves. Besides winning, the only thing MSU lacked was a history of high NFL draft picks. The top is about to come off with 1st-round picks in back-to-back years (Darqueze and Trey), let's say (3) next year, and perhaps 2-4 more 1st-round talents on the roster. We could have (10) 1st-round draft picks over a five year period come this time in 2018.
I don't even want to spend the time counting other potential draft picks are on the roster, but its a lot.
