3rd round because he clog up the middle!

Steve Walker

I wish this question specified early, late or not at all concerning the draft. I think he will be taken 5 round or later. Of course if he blows up during the combine then that changes everything. I just don't think as it stands now that he has enough on 2015 film to justify an early pick.

Jonathon Siminoe

Low 4th or 5th round pick, but probably has the size and strength for the pro game now. If he'd have put in another year he could have been far more prized. Still I like his shot. GBR.

Travis Rager

I think he is more ready than Collins for the pro game. Collins needed another year in the weight room. Valentine will be a plugger in the nfl. 3-4 nose or runs stuffing 4-3 dtackle. Collins has Pro Bowl potential, but is not ready.

Brian

Not sure he'll be happy with where he's picked but I think someone will see his potential and give him a shot.

Jerry Williams

He has shown a force to reckon with.

Wasn't ready to come out

Tom Gray

He'll play in the NFL, but he doesn't have the numbers to warrant being drafted.

Robert Dodd

I dont think so. I think another year with the Huskers would have prepaired him alot better for the NFL.

Darrin Sollars

he needed one more year

Kevin Hamilton

HE NEEDED TO STAY IN SCHOOL ANOTHER YEAR AND SHOW SOMETHING.

Nate Zirbel

He didn't have a productive year he was hurt most of the time and when he was in he didn't have that much of an impact when he was one on one and he can't split the double team very well

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
