The Big Board: The Rankings Of Five Hawkeyes

SI's Hanson has Wirfs, Epenesa, Stone, Ojemudia and Stanley on his list of prospects.

By the time Saturday gets here, five former Iowa players could go in the seven rounds of the NFL Draft.

Offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs should be a high first-round pick. Defensive end A.J. Epenesa figures to go at some point in the first round, but maybe he slips to the second round.

But safety Geno Stone, cornerback Michael Ojemudia and quarterback Nate Stanley also could be among the picks.

All five are on the list of the top 255 prospects from Sports Illustrated's Kevin Hanson.

Wirfs is ranked 11th and Epenesa 24th by Hanson, which would project them both as first-rounders.

Hanson did a seven-round mock draft earlier this week. He had Wirfs going to the Cleveland Browns with the No. 10 pick and Epenesa going to the New England Patriots at No. 23.

Ojemudia, Stone, and Stanley also were selected. Hanson had Ojemudia going to the Arizona Cardinals in the fourth round with the 114th pick overall, Stone going to the Minnesota Vikings in the fifth round with the 155th pick and Stanley to the Detroit Lions in the seventh round with the 235th pick.
