I think it was Robert Kraft who said "when you draft an Iowa player, it's like getting a second-year pro", not positive though.
Point is, they come in well versed in pro schemes, offensive and defensive. They are generally smart, tough guys who have the work ethic necessary to succeed, and they are usually very mature. That's why I'm just as excited about Stanzi and why I'd love to get a shot at McNutt next year.

If we don't have slotreceiver locked down by next draft, I'd kick a kitten off a bridge to draft mcNutt to fill that role.
