Even as a die hard Cyclone fan, I was really surprised filling this out how many ISU players I'd pick as starters over Iowa's players. I was actually trying pretty hard to not be overly biased and pick Iowa players when it was too close to call.
For example, Linderbaum is a stud, but so is Newell, but Linderbaum is definitely the better NFL prospect, so I went with him.
I really don't know much about Ince at all, but figured I'd take him over Remsburg/Ramos.... but I was just trying to find some Iowa players to put on this list.
I also really like Campbell for Iowa at LB, but not sure that I'd really take him over Hummel either?
Same goes for Koerner and Hankins. I like Hankins, but Kyle is no slouch at all either. And Koerner is solid, but the transfer Amos might be better?
Thoughts?
Peterson as in Zach Peterson? Taking him over VanValkenburg is lol-worthy.
Schott over Foster on the OL, and probably kick Ince over to LT. Foster is bad.
I don’t see much difference between Dane Belton/Isheem Young and Riley Moss/Anthony Johnson. I would expect most Iowa State fans to take their guys, and most Iowa fans to take Moss/Belton.
