Wirfs' 4 reps of 450 on the hang clean here. You can't teach 6-5, 320 with super human strength. There's just not many humans on earth that can do this. pic.twitter.com/JFIQZDQllE

the Hawaiian Steve Young
Speaking of Steve Young, Joe Milton is an interesting QB. Since Kyle loves hybrid players, the next QB pick - I'm hoping he goes for a Hybrid Steve Young kind of player that is a hybrid QB and RB. Maybe Joe Milton?
Since he committed in May, 2017, Milton has always been perceived as a project recruit. He has the best arm on the team and would have the best arm on a lot of teams, but accuracy was a concern in high school. His 6-foot-5, 234-pound frame and 4.8 40-yard dash time prompts him and others to compare his ceiling to Cam Newton and DeShaun Watson, but the nuances of the position at the college level have him sitting third in the room for now. https://247sports.com/Article/Forced-to-be-patient-Michigan-football-quarterback-Joe-Milton-is-focused-on-just-being-him-Spring-Game-131315969/
Three guys at Iowa that potentially are early entry 1st round picks
Alaric Jackson LT RS Junior
6'6 320 lbs. Big frame. Long Arms. Good lateral movement and wins with hand leverage. Can pickup stunts. Weakness I see is can get caught off balance at times but generally not an issue. High Ceiling. He didn't commit to football until Junior Year of High School. Limited versatility. Hasn't picked up RT as well as left. Very good though
Tristan Wirfs RT Junior
6'5 320 lbs. Not bad weight. Good hands and quick feet. Great lateral movement. Biggest question is mean streak. This spring practice coaches are saying lights turned on. Better pass pro but you see the ceiling as a road grader. Ridiculous Strong. Multiple Discus and Shot Put State championships. Was also a State Wrestling champ. Highest ceiling I've seen for a Iowa lineman. Expect wow moments this year. Plays RT with Alaric's limitations but could play either Tackle or Guard spot. This kid is gonna be special
AJ Epenesa DE Junior
6'5 280 lbs. Was #1 Strongside DE out of high school. Has been all of that. Im not kidding myself when I say most talented DE I've ever seen at Iowa. 10.5 sacks 16 TFL didn't even play 50% of snaps or start a single game last season. Weakness he can get out of position. Didn't start which was strange, but Parker Hesse who started ahead of him was a good player for us albeit undersized. Hesse signed a UDFA to play TE for the Titans Lol. Epenese was arguably the best Dlinemen in the Outback Bowl that featured Montez Sweat, Anthony Nelson, and Jeffrey Simmons. Y'all got a stacked dline now but I mention him cause he's fun to watch. Throwback DE. Strong bull rush, hand movements, with just enough bend and athleticism. He's a monster.

We need to keep drafting Iowa players. They seem to be ready from day one to produce in the NFL.

We're going to be needing OL and secondary I believe.
If Bosa and Ford work well this year and stay relatively healthy, I'm hoping ShanaLynch finds that hybrid strong safety/linebacker guy like a cam chancellor or Jeff fuller type. A guy that can play like John lynch could in that Kiffen defense, who could thump on the run and cover on the pass.
