Can we get either in the 2nd Round, or would we have to trade back up into the 1st to get them? IDK. We need players like these gamers to advance our Defense to 'Top of the NFL' status, IMO.
10 times out of 10 I take McClellin. Much safer pick, I think.

Love it! Man after my own heart, ogt ... offering up another option for others, though I did.

I've been on the McClellin bandwagon for awhile now. Kid is going to come close to double digit sacks next year. Only concern on him is concussion problems, heard he's suffered a few already.
Haven't researched it, but I don't like the odds of investing a high pick in a young guy with concussion concerns. Don't recall many cases where you quiet those and never deal with them again.

Sometimes the player poo-poo's it, but in the end, its always there. And the way sports is trending on this issue... I don't like it.

Lived in Boise for many years ... until recently. Watched these guys play, as an ardent follower and supporter of BSU Football. Heck, I went to college at Boise State, so you can imagine my pride in seeing so many of the players I've watched and backed throughout the years coming into the NFL ... Scandrick at CB, for example.

Both Winn and McClellin will be great additions to any teams that select them, I fully believe. Hope we get either, or.
Me too. Still here. Live about 2 miles from the stadium.

Best move I ever saw McClellin make was when a RB came up to block him on a blitz, and he hurdled him and landed on the QB. Amazing reaction time and instincts on that play.

McClellin's dad (who didn't raise him and isn't really involved with him) used to work out at my gym. The old man is my age and really cut. Heard he had a promising BSU career as a WR cut short by injury. Seems I heard his mom was a track athlete.

Good to meet another Boisean. I used to live on the Boise River — on Shoreline Drive — next to Ann Morrison Park ... next to BSU and the Blue Turf, as you know. Glad to know ya. Easy to be proud of our BSU boys, isn't it? McClellin is a stud. Appears like you knew/ know a bit more about Shea's family (dad/mom) than I did.
