Not hearing anything about Ray Lima and the NFL draft. Have I just missed the conversation? Anything on Jamahl Johnson?

Wirtel is probably ISU’s only hope for a player drafted.
This is correct. Without the pro days for the non combine guys (Wirtel was our only guy that got to go) it will be tough for these guys to get drafted. But there will be a few that make camps for sure
Lima would have had a better chance 10-15 years ago
A few did, yes. Mostly southern or west coast schools in warmer climes that started Spring football sooner. OU was one.Did all pro days get cancelled? I wonder if some schools got them in before everything shut down?
Not sure about Lima, but I have a feeling Jones will get drafted in a later round. The trend for NFL receivers is getting shorter and quicker guys, and he fits that mold.
Yeah I'm a little surprised by the lack of smoke for ISU players in this years draft. Goes to show the national perception of ISU football still hasn't changed much, sadlyI have no idea why a guy like Ray lima doesn't get drafted. An all big 12 player. He has the size and the skill. Leader of the best defense in the league 3 years in a row.
When he came he he was considered a stone cold lock for the NFL. (Seriously, dig up the threads) Now nothing. I just don't get it.
What have these guys said about wanting to be in the NFL? I wonder if some of these guys are just tired of working so hard and now are just wanting to move on to other things.
This class would’ve been MC’s first recruiting class* in Ames. So obviously nobody’s expecting much. That being said, David Montgomery and Hakeem Butler would’ve been drafted as seniors this year. I’m not sure if they would’ve been drafted any better. than they had or not.I think ISU is really close to having some guys drafted, and not just that but high as well. A guy like Charlie Kolar comes to mind. If our program starts getting over the hump (like a 10 win season) I think our perception will start to change. Not having a lot of success at the next level also hurts us, so if you have guys start playing well in the NFL that will help too. My hope is David Montgomery, and Lazard keep improving and doing well. This will help our perception.
