Two Under the Radar Prospects

What do you folks think about Sean Renfree from Duke and a junior linebacker from BYU, Kyle Van Noy? I think Renfree has some good upside and I really like Van Noy as someone who can get to the quarterback from his linebacker position. Do you see Van Noy going pro early and where do you see each player being drafted and what teams are the best fit?

I am a big fan of van noy, I have been since week 1 last year when he was whooping on Bradley sowell and the ole miss line. Not the toughest thing to do in the world but he was impressive nonetheless.

Big fan of Renfree. He's a guy I'd like the Bears to take a serious look at late in the draft. He reminds me some of Alex Smith, who was a #1 overall pick, but Charlie Whitehurst also comes to mind (similar size, similar college numbers, sleeper picks). He has prototypical size at 6'5", 230ish. Big arm, with a good motion/release. He has very underrated athleticism, as people around Duke's program think he's more of a 4.6 guy than the 5.0 he's listed as on this site. Very intelligent, being a Duke guy...but makes some dumb decisions. Doesn't have the best TD/INT ratio. Doesn't have great numbers against good teams, but also clearly doesn't play around a lot of talent.

He's definitely has some talent, but is a guy that will need to be around a very good QB coach to get the most out of that talent.
