He was selected as Alt captain, basically the same as a captain captain. Lol Connor cook.
No, it’s the same as making some random sick person as a captain or making Brady Hoke a captain. He isn’t a real captain.

Harbaugh has spent too much time in California.

Harbaugh names Patterson as Alt Captain, but probably should have named him Admiral.

The whole team is probably Alt Captains and participation trophies have already been handed out.

They do

Epenesa
Stanley
Wirfs
Jackson

Epenesa and Wirfs are solid first rounders . The other 2 are fringe but definitely possible as both have been mocked there pretty regularly

Difference is they don't have 13 other NFL players on the 2 deep like Bama lol. If the 4 guys from last years draft ( all underclassmen ) had come back Iowa would have likely been a top 5-10 team preseason

Stanley will not be a first round pick and he will need to improve quite a bit to get drafted in the 1st 3 rounds.

He completely roughly 35% of his passes when he faced any type of pressure and only 25% of his passes that travelled 20 or more yards.

That isn’t going to get you drafted in the first round.

He is a solid college QB, but 1st round draft pick he is not.

I think the reason Cook got shit is because it was already reported that he was troublesome in the lockerroom. This just added to those rumors.

I don't want to look it up, but I think Henne was never elected captain either and he was a 4 year starter.

Actually thats just his top 32 prospects not his mock . His first mock of the year had Epenesa and Stanley but not Wirfs. A guys big board isn't a mock. Wirfs will likely be in his next mock first round though . Stanley was at 31 to the Chargers so he may or may not be . Jackson is actually the least likely to go round one next year but he probably won't leave anyway . He's rated between 7-9th best tackles right now so coming back would likely lock round 1/2 in for 21


Never forget Mcshay had Mitch Leidner in his top 32 as well.

Believe it or not, it'll be an upgrade. Illinois ran the ball pretty well last year. It'll be up to their defense to improve, but I still see them as bottom in the B1GW

Nebraska doesn't need alt unis. However, I think if they were to have one, make it black uni and black pants. Like Iowa's when they dominated Ohio State.

Pretty much everyone has Stanley in the top 5 of draft eligible QBs which makes him a near lock for top 3 rounds so after that it really just depends on team boards . If I'd told you last year Daniel Jones would go 6 overall everyone would've called me crazy . The NFL values tangibles and Stanley has them in spades

I'm not saying Stanley isn't draftable in first 3 rounds. I would just tamp brakes on using Mcshay as a source for him being in 1st round.

Good senior year, he may end up in 1st round, but color me skeptical.

I didn't use McShay. Someone else did . You can never use just one guy . It's really just a function of everyone having him 3rd-5th amongst QBs. If that holds he will be first or early second . It isn't even commentary on if I think he's good lol

Yes, if he remains on scouts (not bloggers) top 3-5 QB's he'll be drafted in first 2 rounds most likely. But we're awfully early and a lot will change.

Teddy Bridgetwater was at one time 1st overall pick by a lot of predictons/mocks, few months later Vikings drafted him #32 and lot of internet scouts scoffed that they reached

I agree with your overall take no way Iowa goes 5-7 unless they get the injury bug

I think B1GW will be a lot of fun this year

Off the top of my head I can think of 4 QBs I’m higher on that are draft eligible. Hurts, Fromm, Tua, and Shea Patterson (and I’m not very high on Patterson.). That’s without doing any deep dive on QBs.

Tua and Herbert are top 2 for sure. Fromm , Eason and Stanley are usually the next 3 in some order . Obviously a lot can change so we will see
