   Thats an insane team! If you put together the best of all other ACC teams I see us trailing only Miami and VT. We would clearly be better than FSU and UNC would be laughable against this team.

   WOW!

   I can’t think of much to argue with here.

   Maybe there are a couple of names that would be more versatile additions and be able to play a couple of positions when needed – Bryan Peterson? Willie Wright? Olin Hannum? – but from a pure position perspective I think that it is hard to argue with some of these picks.

   Did Corey Smith play for Chuck?

   Troy Grahm was a really good safety.

   Corey Smith and Ollie Hoyte certainly deserve consideration

   Additionally, Edrick Smith pre-injury was actually with MOC as coach. So maybe take him out and add Hoyte?

   Entertaining idea.
   However I can’t get past this:
   “QB: Philip Rivers, Marcus Stone”
   From what I’ve seen so far, I’m not seeing MS ‘on track to make an NFL opening day roster’.
   Hopefully he’s getting ready to prove why in three weeks!

   As weak as we have generally been on the OLine during these years, I am impressed by the number of NFL players that we have generated from the OLine.

   I’d say that team could spot UNC’s all Bunting team 21 points and only play D with 10 guys and win easily. Good Lord, Phil Rivers with a defense like that. Unstoppable.

   [...] Robinson was easily one of the best players to don a uniform for Chuck Amato at NC State. Unfortunately for K-Rob, his strong play in Raleigh did not translate to the NFL gridiron because of his own recklessness. [...]
