Wisconsin versus Stanford. The Cardinal run a 3-4 defense and have some very interesting players who would fit in the Steelers system. Shane Skov ILB is solid player and a mid round pick. Chase Thomas is a traditional 3-4 OLB. He is probably a mid second round pick. Two players on offense to watch are RB Stepfan Taylor and TE Levine Toilolo (6 ft 8 265). Zach Ertz is their main go-to TE and maybe a first round pick but Toilolo is pretty good too and may be a solid mid to late round back up TE for Heath. Keep one thing in mind with these Stanford TE's, they are in a heavy run orientated offense. Even when Andrew Luck was there they ran the ball more than throw it. These guys can block and if put in a more balanced offense I believe the could catch as well.
For Wisconsin there are a couple of sleeper picks. OT Ricky Wagner (3-4 round pick), CB Devin Smith (late round pick), ILB Mike Taylor (late round pick), CB Marcus Cromartie (late round pick-free agent signing).
And then of course there is Montee Ball RB (2nd-3rd round pick). He's good. Real good.
