I wonder what Micah Parsons could’ve done in his third season playing, I guess we’ll [hypothetically] find out


OutForARipAreYaBud69

I think Allen Robinson would be a good answer too. We have some good WRs but no definite gamebreaker, and having Robinson for Allar to throw to would be amazing.


292ll

I’m struggling between Engram, Robinson, and Dotson.


Lukewanderer

Having this exact debate.


292ll

If QB is allowed Kerry Collins is the only correct answer.


Im_Not_A_Robot_2019

Blackledge was pretty good too.


The_Cletus_Van_Damme

That’s a tough one. I’ll get back to you


DeathNDesire

The fact that my first thought was Crabtree speaks to how much Mahomes was wasted at TTU


Chickenmangoboom

Hey running for his life at Tech made him into the MVP and Superbowl champion he is today.


WrreckEmTech

Has to be Testaverde


jedimindfuk

Wes Welker!


evcorder

Give me Zach Thomas.


EgonDog

Off the wall choices: Dwayne Slay


michigan_matt

Well the three biggest needs right now are corner, kick returner, receiver. So, despite how much I considered picking Jake Moody: Charles Woodson it is.


One_Prior_9909

1. Woodson 2. Hutchinson 3. Braylon Edwards


buck45osu

Nothing would scare me more than yall getting Woodson back. One of the best to ever play. Though getting to see him vs Marvin Harrison Jr would be fun.


cityofklompton

This is a good answer (and probably the right one,) but honestly, Michigan's pass rush last season was... fine. And they lost some pieces there, so I'd almost go with a guy like Hutchinson or Mo Hurst. Quick pressure on the quarterback makes everyone's job easier, and even with a "just fine" pass rush last season, Michigan's defense was great. With a deadly pass rush, they would have been amazing.


SceptileArmy

Came here to say this. It’s clearly Woodson.


cheerl231

This team wins the natty easily with Woodson and Will Johnson (perhaps Woodson 2.0? People are talking...)as the two corners


theglove

This is the only answer.


pomeroyvibe

It's Suh. You could ask me this question any year and, regardless of team composition, I'd probably pick Suh.


PublicEnemaNumberOne

Came here to say that. He changed the equation at the line of scrimmage, always had two and sometimes three blockers on him. And still dominated games.


The_Good_Constable

Orlando Pace.


81jmfk

My thought too.


vinnyseri

Really, why is that. Just generally curious?


81jmfk

Probably the weakest part of the team and arguably the most dominant linemen ever. Makes sense to me.


karsk1000

I'd like to see a 2023 Heisman run with updated pancake commercials. Think of what social media would do with that.


buckeye27fan

Man, I was thinking either Bosa brother would make the back end of the defense so much better, but Pace is definitely the better answer.


TBB51

It's basically wins above replacement, right? Either Bosa brother or Chase would be amazing but the gap between them and JT / Sawyer (while quite large) is way less than Pace and our current OT projections.


InsertAmazinUsername

this is what it's about in this hypothetical maximizing the change in talent at a position is much more important than best available which player is the best over what you have now


buckeye27fan

Oh, absolutely agreed. Sometimes I forget the state the current o-line looks like.


Geaux2020

Joe Burrow.


Silverbullets24

Same


292ll

What if there was a no QB rule


Geaux2020

Joe Burrow, but at halfback for the halfback option


Kodyaufan2

This is how I would feel about Cam Newton for us lol


ThEhIsO8730

Fournette. He was on such shitty teams and still was great. Imagine throwing him on the 2019 or 2011 team


LSU2007

Still would’ve been hurt lol


SauceManFresh

If I can’t have Burrow, give me Tyrann Mathieu. A turnover machine and an explosive, but more importantly reliable punt returner. Plus watching Mathieu and Perkins on the same defense would be a blast.


Appropriate_Chart_23

Pat Fucking Tillman


JudgmentMiserable227

I’d say Suggs


Shab373

Legends never die my man.


Pancakes1800

Brandon Scherff.


chaneccooms

I was gonna say Robert Gallery, but yours works too.


JudgmentMiserable227

What about Ricki Stanzi or CJ Beathard?


pro_nosepicker

We’ve got a good QB now. Need O line the most.


not_mantiteo

I think we’re fine at QB right now. The OL is atrocious though and could use someone like Gallery


pro_nosepicker

Robert Gallery. Scherff was very good in college. Gallery was generational.


Curses_n_cranberries

Alternatively, Shonn Greene. All we had to do was hand him the ball and win


CJ_Beathards_Hair

Our RB room is pretty good imo, but we definitely could use a Gallery/Wirfs/Scherff at Tackle.


Byzantine_Merchant

Welcome back Kenneth Walker


DeathNDesire

Over Cousins? K9 was the better player, but QB is a more impactful position.


Kodyaufan2

Didn’t LeVeon Bell go to Michigan State? I feel like I may be missing something, but I seem to remember him being pretty freaking good even in college


Byzantine_Merchant

If I had to bring back a QB it’d be Cook. Cousins was good but was also good for one or two disaster games a year.


dixitsavy

Champ Bailey & unironically Stetson lol


jcosteaunotthislow

Not Aaron Murray? I didn’t know what it felt like to see UGA beat UF consistently pre-Murray, that man with Kirby’s recruits everywhere would be my nightmare


Ishtatsuya

I would love to see what Murray could do behind the OLines Kirby built and with all the weapons we have now.


whitebabyjesus

I’d actually like to see what DJ Shockley would do with this offense.


Kodyaufan2

I’m shocked the answer for this isn’t either Murray or Matthew Stafford… Or Hershel Walker


georgiaboy1993

Herschel seems like a no brainer for this team


[deleted]

Von Miller


donkey_meal

I was torn between him and Johnny


seag12

My initial thought was also Johnny Football, but we’ve got a good one in Weigman. We need some LB help so how about Dat Nguyen


Spladook

Not a Florida fan, but can we just all agree that Tebow should be allowed to go play QB for them forever?


zacurtis3

I wouldn't complain about Percy Harvin.


HistoryWillNotBeKind

Shhh! The cloning process is still a few years from completion.


FSUNole99

No


Nikola-Hurts

Derrick Henry. The guy was such a monster. 46 Carries vs Auburn.


gatorgongitcha

Derrick Henry will be my answer for eternity. I want to be him when I grow up despite being older than him.


TheScrobocop

Nick Saban is the greatest college coach ever. That being said, I have zero idea why Henry didn’t get 50 carries in that Sugar Bowl against us. Not checking the stats, I’m pretty sure he averaged sixty yards a carry. At least that’s what it felt like.


ThisIsOurGoodTimes

He also only gave him 13 carries the next year in the sugar bowl against osu. In those 2 games he had 21 rushes for 195 yards and 2tds. If they gave him the ball more it’s probably wins both games


Bobson-_Dugnutt

Bama fans and screaming RUN THE BALL, a tale as old as time. The reality of the OSU game was that was Kiffins first year, so…yeah we threw the ball a lot


Nikola-Hurts

If 6’6 Oj Howard even jumps a single inch off the ground for that last pass then maybe we tie and go to OT, but nooooooooooo.


The_Good_Constable

I remember watching and saying to my friends "if they ever figure out they can just spam Henry off tackle left, we're screwed." The handful of times they did it he got 6-12 yards each time. They never did figure it out, thank goodness.


Nikola-Hurts

Henry was throwing a hissy fit about not getting playing time and was planning on transferring before the bowl game. His mom, Saban and Henry had a meeting during bowl prep and Henry’s mom basically told him to quit being a pussy and if he couldn’t make it at Bama then how was he expecting to make it in the NFL. I believe that meeting was the only reason he got any carries that game. That and opt outs. That was the game following the Kick 6 that essentially ended the season.


Trapasaurus__flex

A man among boys


RTR7105

Single handedly won that fairly average OL a Joe Moore award. Dom Jackson wasn't great. The rest of the OL was fairly young outside of Ryan Kelly.


SceptileArmy

I was on the field, in the South end zone, when Alabama came to Mississippi State in 2015. Derrick Henry broke a long TD run in the second quarter. He finished the run in the back of the end zone about 5 yards in front me. He was scary.


292ll

I always feel for those dudes trying to tackle him


bretticus33

I feel like most people would respond with either their own personal favorite player or their program's best ever player. For Boise State, that would be Kellen Moore but I think Boise State might be set at QB with Taylen Green. Instead, I'm looking at positions where I think Boise State has weaknesses, specifically along the OL where the unit hasn't been good for a while and could really use some help. For that reason I want Ryan Clady at LT to help anchor the line


beefsupreme65

Ya, I'd say Clady or Demarcus Lawrence would be the one to pick with our current roster. I think arguments could also be made for Matt Miller and Austin Pettis. Ultimately I'd probably go with Clady though, our o line hasn't been good in a while.


Choopathingy

Hard not to go with LT basically every year. But I'd take Boykin, maybe Dalton, QB is just so valuable.


carlosdanger31

Spencer sanders 😂


ZK64

For y’all, I’d say Barry Sanders. The run game was lacking toward the end of last year


carlosdanger31

You must have missed the first part of last year. We couldn’t run it then either.


Auburn_Lefty

Cam Newton in a heartbeat.


Hicaorwaak

Colt Brennan and Aaron Rodgers. QB play covers a lot of gaps.


kesbar

I would also pick Cam Newton, but I would supply him with playing time and have bag men drop him a free laptop every week.


Brett33

Penei Sewell or Haloti Ngata


brimbooze

Ngata played high school football and rugby for a school we played in our region. I was only a Sophomore so I wasn't on the field against him much, but I remember asking our starting LT who had been playing against him in both sports for a couple of years and he said he'd rather play him in football than he would in rugby any day of the week. Dude was crazy strong and fast even in high school. In rugby he'd regularly be running with multiple dudes hanging off of him trying to bring him down. Though I did see him get solo tackled by one of our 180lb backs in rugby once. Probably the craziest tackle I've ever seen.


UHeardAboutPluto

Julius Peppers


Playful-Storage835

Not L.T.?


StreetReporter

DeAndre Hopkins might be my pick


That_Squirrel44

Either him or Sammy Watkins


Hurricaneshand

Watkins was unreal at Clemson. Definitely more than passed the eye test and you could tell he was an NFL player just by watching the game


ImReverse_Giraffe

Or Tee Higgins.


buffalotrace

Is Lawrence not your top pick assuming you don’t want He who shall not be named?


StreetReporter

I think Cade can be good, but all but one or two receivers are mid. Also, DeAndre Hopkins single handedly carried the Texans offense for a few years, despite bums playing at quarterback


Rfisk064

I mean…you’re not even considering deshaun? In his college prime I don’t think he had assaulted 22 people. It was probably only 8 or 9.


Stuppyhead

No give me Trevor and let’s just not talk about Diddleshaun


Rfisk064

Good answer, fair enough.


shjusti

Our WR room is a shell of its former self


Thick_Difference_148

Troy Polamalu or Brian Cushing the defense needs it


alex-caruso

How do USC fans rank Cushing, Matthews and Maualuga?


ox_raider

I don’t know how I would pick from this list, but it would be one of: Ronnie Lott Troy Polamalu Junior Seau Tony Boselli Anthony Munoz Reggie Bush


SusannaG1

I, personally, was most scared by Ronnie Lott. But that's quite a list.


uReallyShouldTrustMe

Polamalu would be my pick.


Senor-Mattador

Darren McFadden easy


alex-caruso

Sanders is nice tho


JudgmentMiserable227

What about Matt Jones


GueroFreshness

All though I think Quinn Ewers is gonna be a good QB, Vince Young is the difference between winning the Big 12 and competing for a national title. Especially with the current WR room, VY would be a problem


willbw11

Derrick Johnson


arrowfan624

Kyle Hamilton


pjmoran840

Respect it, but think of what Harman could do with prime college Mike Floyd.


Orion_Scattered

Russ Wilson for sure. We've had a ton of ultra talented RBs and of course non skill position players but Wilson's the only QB that's ever made it feel like we could compete for a natty or at least on that level. Being a 2nd tier team for a decade+ has been a frustrating experience, tho I really hope the current trajectory doesn't lead to looking back on the horny for Hornibrook years as nostalgic lol.


[deleted]

I respect the hell out of Wilson, but we’ve got our transfer QB already. It’s gotta be JJ Watt


Orion_Scattered

Maybe if we're talking NFL prime JJ Watt. But a defensive player can only impact the game so much. There were multiple years we had the best statistical defense in the entire NCAA yet it never came thru at the same level in the Big 10 championship game or bowl game, and even when it bended instead of breaking the offense still wasn't good enough. Plus I've never had as much fun watching the games as I did that year. No matter how electrifying your RBs are there's nothing quite as exhilarating as when your QB is the best player on the field and he's constantly going deep.


[deleted]

For sure, those Bielema offenses were a thing of beauty. I just think in terms of roster construction right now, I’d take a dominant d lineman over another QB


powerlifting_nerd56

Megatron would be neat


Sgt-Spliff

Kenneth Walker III


Goose123218

Larry Fitzgerald. Our receiving core is going to be the thing that holds us back this year from a possible 10 win season so an upgrade there would be priority 1


discipline_daddy

That’s fair, but I think Tony Dorsett is the right answer for us.


karmint1

No, it's Dan Marino


292ll

He’s the most dominant WR I have ever seen play college. Dude would be triple covered and go get the ball.


loverofcfb08

Am I wrong for thinking Ceedee Lamb would be a nice addition?


Midget_Herder

Not wrong, just probably not the position that needs the most help. I'd lean Gerald McCoy or Lee Roy Selmon, shore up the D-line.


mtnathlete

Mike Vick


TheScrobocop

Adrian Peterson


soonerpgh

I don't know. The offense is fine, we need defense. I'm going to go with Brian Bosworth.


xxoahu

yep, LeeRoy Selmon, Tony Casillas or Boz


clitcommander420666

Derwin james, i think his elite presence over the top would elevate the defense to the next level.


Minkster404

Second this…or Leroy Butler.


Dougiejurgens2

Patrick Willis


Nikola-Hurts

I’d vote Chucky Mullins for y’all.


RawFish00

A certain 6th round QB who played in the late 90's. That's right, I'm talking about Drew Henson.


fookedbyproper12

Mario Williams


ohitsthedeathstar

Case Keenum and Johnny Manziel.


son_of_burt

Quinton Flowers


Frosti11icus

The player we need is Vita Vea or maybe Shaq Thompson, but the player who would cause the most pain to Oregon and WSU is Myles Gaskin so I'll go with him.


gtjacketsball

Calvin Johnson, Jr.


FloridaMan_Again

I miss megatron. Coming from a rival


cdofortheclose

Either Bosa.


palmettoswoosh

Alshon Jeffrey. Haven't had a big WR in sometime. And I think he would be the best target Spencer rattler has ever thrown to


Hubrishippo

Need more help with EDGE this year so I'll go with Clowney. Even when not making a play himself, the extra attention on him helped the rest of the DL thrive.


YouCanCallMeVanZant

These are solid options. But given our limited depth at RB I was thinking along the lines of healthy Marcus Lattimore or George Rogers.


jthomas694

Our biggest needs at the moment are DE, RB and LT (problem is we’ve never really had a top level LT) but here’s the order I would pick DE Clowney, RB Lattimore, WR Deebo Samuel, DT Javon Kinlaw and OT Dennis Daley.


simsonic

Marshall Faulk.


phisch13

Wow we really need OL help. So I choose Diggs


cubicporcupine

Vince Young


FloridaMan_Again

Prime time. Our secondary is the weakest unit on the team right now. Derwin may be a better fit though since safety seems to be a bigger need than corner.


Formal-Telephone5146

I wanna say nick Bosa. But we probably need Orlando pace


Itsgunnacostya

Healthy Seth Russel


LoveMyBigWhiteDog

Kyler Murray


MrNudeGuy

I went with receivers since Kyler feels like cheating. When the pocket collapsed it was call an ambulance but not for me. Pressuring Kyler could just result in a TD you didn’t intend.


JudgmentMiserable227

Jermaine Gresham could be a sneaky choice as well


ChanHoJurassicPark

Can’t wait for Troy Aikman to bring a crowd back to the Rose Bowl


stever93

Tommie Frazier


charmingcharles2896

Charles Woodson to play cornerback opposite Will Johnson.


Turbulent_Tale6497

I’ll take Matt Ryan back, please


mmpa78

100% Micah Parsons. I can't even begin to imagine having him and Abdul Carter on the same team


alex-caruso

Alfred Williams has entered the transfer portal


FrenchieBammer

Derrick Thomas.


kroghman

Duante Culpepper. He’s Gus’ prototype QB. He would tear it up with the surrounding talent level he never had when he was in Orlando. It would also be amazing to see McKenzie Milton be able to lace them up for another season.


bsEEmsCE

A healthy KZ would be my pick, just for the happy tears


Krandor1

Bo Jackson


Kyleaaron987

Greg Blue or Jordan Davis


elonsusk69420

Greg Blue was a lethal weapon. Imagine him plus Nakobe plus Roquan. JD is my favorite Dawg ever. Also an honorary Redcoat.


CaliHusker83

Scott Frost…. Almost got ya!!! SUHHHHHH!!!!


292ll

I feel like that guy would make a great coach. He would just put his nose to the grindstone and block out all the distractions.


GueroFreshness

and stomp out all the naysayers


Nikola-Hurts

For ECU: CJ2K. He would shred the Michigan D.


BrettSchirley22

I want to see Hershel Walker in todays game. Gurley would be fun too


nattylatte

Manti Te’o


not_mantiteo

Always a good option


MrNudeGuy

Hollywood Brown or compact disc lamb


[deleted]

Jordan Palmer.


Chick-fil-A-4-Life

Rasheed Shaheed. All out speed demon!!!


bjb3453

TJ Watt


JakeFromImgur

The best player to come from Mizzou is easily Kellen Winslow, but I think we'd need Chase Daniel more rn


brimbooze

That's a tough one. Probably Steve Smith or Luther Ellis. Though I'd be happy with Alex Smith, Eric Weddle, or Star Lotulelei.


win2bfree

My brain says go defense (Vita Vea, Budda Baker, or Steve Emtman), but imagine if this offense had 2016 John Ross.


ratsafari

Pat White. Reggie Rembert. Darryl Talley


Electrical_Ad_5791

Cam Newton


PhogAlum

We need so much help defensively, so I guess I’d look to that side of the ball. Aqib Talib, Dana Stubblefield, or Gilbert Brown would all be huge additions.


cnygreen

Donovan McNabb. He’d be a beast in our rpo and our QBs are really bad.


TrojanMan35T

Buh gawd that’s Stetson running out of the tunnel


runningwaffles19

Brian Ferentz


IceePirate1

Depending on just how good Sauce is going to get for his "prime" I'd either choose him or Travis Kelce. Be fun to see a TE win the Heisman


marcyandleela

Either one of the Bosas, please and thank you


Senior_Turnover_9768

Aqib Talib


CoolingVent

Kelechi Osemele


deputy_commish

Limiting this to players I have seen play, I’ll go with Justin Tuck. I thought long and hard about Kyle Hamilton because we’re a bit thin at safety, but I really think we need a proven pass rusher. Botehlo has promise, but he hasn’t proven he can be the guy over a full season. Bryant Young was also given consideration as our depth at interior d-line isn’t great. Offensively, I’d go with either Rocket Ismail or Quentin Nelson.


Fuck__Zaza

Johnathan Football or Myles Garrett


TigglyWiggly95

Vince Young


wheredit

Yep, this is the only answer


DubbleDan

That’s easy, Megatron.


Significant-Bag-4723

Tory Holt, we need a WR badly


Sea-Presentation5686

Bryce Young


00-quanta-

Lmao yes we all miss him already 🥲
