I was thinking about Bo's rapid turnaround in 2008 and he had like 15 NFL guys on that team he "inherited" and many of them contributed that season: https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/nebraska/2008-roster.html <- includes some iffy ones with NFL shields but YOLO.
so who do we have?
Please bucket into:

1. Will contribute this season
2. Won't contribute this season, but you think is a future NFL guy

Looking at just the senior & junior classes, I can talk myself into anywhere from about 4 up to 20 depending on what kind of development happens over the next year and a half, and what the standard is for being an NFL guy (camp invite? regular season roster?).

Kemp
Newsome
Reimer
Nouili
Scott
TyRob

Would be the ones near the top.

That's tough. Lots of guys who will get picked up as undrafted FA I think, not that many who will get drafted.

Buford has a good shot.

What’s the over/under on Rhule’s prediction that Benhart makes a roster.

Newsome, Scott, and Ty Rob are the only draft picks from that list.

Nouilli could be added, but he needs to prove he can be a dominant Guard without added Testosterone.

Reimer is a really good college football player, but he's too small to play at the next level.

Kemp is like Westerkamp. He can be highly productive in the Big Ten, but not quick enough for the NFL.

Reimer will be a UDFA and play a few years as a backup. He's 6'1" 225 probably not quite average but think there's smaller guys out there. Being on the smaller end though he probably isn't quick enough. Don't know if he has the body type to get up to 240-250.

Definitely not all draft picks, but solid talents who will likely be on rosters or practice squads for multiple years.

Kemp & Reimer are the types who have the attitude and skill sets to play well on special teams, which is a big difference maker for borderline players.
