DRC: What does Athlon's preseason All-C-USA team say about the league?

An observation as we look to end our NFL draft drought, no Mean Green seniors on the first team.

I think it only helps NFL prospects at a school like NT to have pre-season expectations that would invite the eyes of scouts who might not make regular stops in Denton.  

That said, from Athlon's teams this time last year, here's how the CUSA 2018 draftees stacked up...

  • Marcus Davenport - First Team
  • Will Hernandez  - First Team
  • Tarvarius Moore - Not Listed
  • Joel Lyiegbuniwe  - Third Team
  • Ito Smith - First Team
  • Mike White - Second Team
  • Boston Scott - Not Listed
  • Cornell Armstrong - Fourth Team
  • Alex McGough  - Not Listed
  • Richie James - First Team

Six of the conference's ten 2018 draft selections were not included on the first team in May 2017

With all due respect to Ito Smith, because I believe he is an excellent back, but how in the world was he a 4th round pick and Scott a later pick, but Wilson an UDFA?  I like the situation that Jeffery got to choose with the 49ers, but that just doesn't make any sense at all.

Knocks on Wilson included durability questions & ball-security concerns.
