Mostly Obvious List from Dienhart

However, I'm surprised he put Prater in there. Not that the kid doesn't deserve it, but he seemed woefully underused in our offense.

Wildcats we will miss

Mind-blowing that Trevor is number four all-time in passing yardage considering he platooned and missed games with injuries over much of his career. Shows how much the game has changed in recent years.

I would've made Jorgenson my #5 on the list instead of Prater. That's just because I think it's easier for NU to bring in a young WR and throw him in the fire than a young Olinemen. Who would you have made the 5th person over Prater? The other options:

T. Green: We have Jackson, Vault, Anderson, Long
T. Jones: He had 200 less yards receiving than Prater, so Prater has to be over Jones
Chance Carter: We're getting McEvilly back so that's a good replacement
Collin Ellis: One of my all time favorites, but he was already gone.
Jimmy Hall: While a utility infielder is great to have, he kept getting replaced at positions and finding new ones.

Am I missing anyone?

KP seemed to be the only wide receiver who made plays. Jones had a few moments, but was plagued by drops (KP had a few too, but far less). He really seemed to be coming on late in the season.

I think Jorgenson is a solid 5. I would have picked Ellis but, as you noted, he was already gone. Still, we did/do have to replace him.

I liked Ellis his whole career but the upside of his leaving is he groomed his replacement and Nu should miss a beat an the middle from 2014-2015. Hopefully we even experience an uptick.
