I think both leave. Both have a good shot to go 1st round, but I think Freak goes a round before ego. JMO


What on earth makes you think either sniff the first?

Ego has had zero impact and is an upperclassman, Johnson has shown some flashes, but has not been exceptional in any facet.

Is it really THAT far-fetched? Both were very highly recruited, both are getting their first opportunity to be the main guys. Every year we have guys who step up (especially on the DL) and become first round-caliber guys.

It typically takes interior lineman longer to adjust to the college game than most other positions. Defensive tackles with exceptional physical tools usually blossom in their 3rd years (Glenn Dorsey, Michael Brockers, Sharrif Floyd.) It stands to reason Johnson and/or Ego could be in for a breakout year with increased playing time.

Essentially every mock draft for 2014 has Freak going 1st round and Ego has been beasting by all accounts. I think it's a possibility.

This.

If the kid was named "John" instead of "Freak" this first round talk wouldn't exist. The rant sees a nickname and gets a hard on and overestimates a guys ability.
