Huge difference between top 3 teams and 7th through 12th and it shows on the field.
Heck, Georgia churns out all pro Edge and DT's every year. They have 2 in this draft that will go likely top 15. The best ND defender is a CB who will go late round 1. There are no DL, OL, TE's, RB's, WR's or QB's that will be sure fire picks on day 2 other than safety Watts.
I think Joe Montana was the last great ND QB. That was in the 70's.
Look at the teams that have worse recruiting class rankings..they are putting out a bunch of NFL players. ND has had essentially 4 straight top 10 recruiting classes...them not putting out a lot of draft talent would seem to point to more development issues than talent...Michigan and Penn St haven't had a higher rated recruiting class than ND the last 4 years...they haven't seemed to have any issues producing top talent...
Getting Ossai back for 7M is a good contract. But doesn't make our defense much better than last year (to stay on topic of the thread)
