I think KVN goes late 2nd round.

Unga will be gone by the late 6th round.

Hoff will go late 3rd to early 5th.



Everyone else (Eathyn, Sorenson, Friel) are UFAs all the way unless they blow minds at pro-day.

We need to get our old friend to help them improve their speed. Who was that guy. Most of these guys are pretty slow.

I doubt Unga goes in the 6th given his injury. take his injury out and i would be on board with that prediction. i worry about hoff dropping to 7th round. the combine will probably hurt his stock.

With Unga's sheer productivity, I think a team takes a flyer on him late in the 6th.



Tackles for LBs in the NFL are like rebounds for forwards and centers in the NBA--they guys who rack them up in college are going to do something for you at the pro level no matter what.

Well I hope so. Unga was the most underrated player on our team this year.

KVN getting praised on twitter for his performance in Senior Bowl Practices



Kyle Van Noy has the most composed, naturally balanced LBs here so far. Smooth hands catcher, composed feet thus far. Jordan Tripp solid too



So far, Kyle Van Noy has been top LB in each drill. Picking up RBs, physical/tight with TEs, looking balanced throughout. SeniorBowl



BYU's Kyle Van Noy was under-appreciated in 2013. Still a worthy Top 20 pick if team's can maximize versatility. SeniorBowl



I'll stop talking about Kyle Van Noy, but he's really impressed throughout. He's been a Top 20 guy for us all year. Showcasing it now.

If Uani wasn't hurt, he'd show well enough at the combine/pro day to get to the 5th.



Eathyn probably won't get drafted because of his age and past injury issues.



Sorensen, if things were fair, would be drafted in the 4th or 5th round, but things are not fair in the draft.



Friel, umm, yeah. Talent is there. Want to is ????????



KVN will make it into the first round. He's apparently owning the senior bowl practices. This is when Ziggy started making everyone really take notice.



Hoff can go anywhere from 3rd to 6th. He needs a good senior bowl week, combine and pro day to make it to the 3rd.

In a deep wide receiver class, it's extremely hard for anyone to stand out. But Hoffman has to feel like he's done everything he can.



I'm honestly not sure why Hoffman doesn't get more attention. He's BYU's all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.



He is also 6'4" with a strong frame and solid athleticism. He may not be a burner, but he can consistently get open with good route running and has phenomenal hands.



Teams will be looking to see how he gets separation during drills, as that is the only thing holding him back as a prospect. If his quickness and strength are good enough this week, he could move up on some boards.



I think he's only a fourth rounder at this point, but that's mostly because of this stacked wideout class. A team would be getting a steal there, as Hoffman could be a great possession receiver for years to come.

If you rate his physical traits, he stacks up there with the best WRs at the camp:



tallest and longest measured wing span

second longest arms

fourth largest hands



Now he has to show what he can do against the best DBs at camp. He has shown it against WI and ND.
