ND Players 2016 Mock Draft

[purguy12]

I though this was very interesting. Word is ND is going to be Big time players in next year draft. This year was a down year for ND players getting drafted. Only 1 player. Here are some Mock drafts. Some have ND having Stanley being the #1 player drafted next year.

Ronnie Stanley No. 1? Notre Dame eyes strong 2016 NFL Draft | CSN Chicago

Example: Matt Miller has: Stanley #1, J. Smith #7, Day #15, Russell #22 and Robinson #31.

1 player im shocked not to see is Fuller. I think Fuller will be top 5 WR this year in college football. I guess Robinson size helps him but man I like Fuller a lot. He is quick and has great hands.

Meh @ damn draft.

All I'm concerned about is what BCS game we better be in.

I'm gonna start this already in prep for the season:

"RUN THE DAMN BALL!!!"

that is all

Yes run the ball. Control the clock. limit the turnovers

If Sanford is calling the plays ND should be in good shape with running the damn ball. Kelly calling plays will hold this team back

Kelly is calling the plays at least this year.

 

[purguy12]

Yes Kelly in year 1 until Sanford understands what Kelly wants. Kelly did say Sanford will be a big part in the game planning.

Well, I guess we can expect a whole lotta rinse & repeat then.

I put a ton of my eggs into this year's basket for this to be THEE KELLY YEAR - 2015!

The nice things about 2015 is that having 20 starters returning makes for only one player drafted this year (good). An inexperienced QB means more emphasis on the run game (good). One of the starters we are losing (Riggs) will be replaced by someone better (Russell) (good). I am very optimistic about 2015, of course, I'm usually very optimistic in May.

Surprise Fuller wasn't mention. I think Fuller is a Top 5 WR this year. I mean damn he was Top 15 last year.

Not 100% sold on Malik ... he's still got a lot to learn and limited starting experience.

Impressive? Yes. Experience ... ?

Is he gonna be able to LEAD this team?

He has a lot to learn, but he's been in the system for two years. I feel better about this than I did looking at Tommy in 2013 or Golson in 2012. His experience in a bowl game against LSU should overcome any nerves he may get starting against Texas this season. My biggest concern is what happens if we get an injury, but I actually think his inexperience will force Kelly to develop a ground game. Which I feel will be a good thing.

I agree with you but his upside is way better then Golson. I think he will make some dumb mistakes through out the year but he will also make some crazy plays. 1 thing I liked about Golson was when it came down to a game winning drive Golson was Ice. The moment never got too big for him.

The down side for Golson was before the winning drive he would make too many boneheaded mistakes.
