Guys like Jay Ward, Joe Evans, Cordale Flott, Damone Clark and Dare Rosenthal. All of these guys will play in the NFL, and I think two #1 draft choices from this group are likely.

Dare is going to make a huge step. I'd venture a guess Flott's steadily gotten better with experience and will shine too; I'd put Clark in same category.

And I mean in the here and now... not some fuzzy point in the distant future.

It sounds 'mean' to some peoples sensitive ears, but Orgeron's view of, to quote Frank Costello in the Departed, "what can I use you fur" is working very well. He sees what they can be with the right amount of effort and instruction. Almost all try to see around that corner; Orgeron seems to be better than most about it. Don't discount the position coaches role in that.
