Episode 15 - Ready for the Draft 2019 Podcast Series

Readyforthedraft.com's Gregg Schutze shares his passion for the NFL draft and takes you on a journey leading up to the 2019 NFL Draft.

Episode 15 is part two of the two-part series dedicated to Bowl Season.  Gregg takes a look at the second half of the bowls beginning on December 28 and calls out the draft-eligible prospects to watch out for along with a few underclassmen of note.  The 28th will feature the likes of Derrick Brown and Jarrett Stidham of Auburn, David Sills V of West Virginia and Iowa State's David Montgomery and Hakeem Butler.  Before we get to the CFP semifinals on the 29th, the Peach Bowl features defensive standouts Jachai Polite, Jabari Zuniga and Chauncy Gardner-Johnson of Florida and Chase Winovich of Michigan.  Deebo Samuel, Jake Bentley and South Carolina look to take out the Virginia Cavaliers in the Belk Bowl, while Justice Hansen leads the Arkansas State offense against Malik Reed and the Nevada Wolfpack defense in the Arizona Bowl.  New Year's Eve bowls feature Cincinnati's dynamic DT's Cortyez Broughton and Marquise Copeland in the middle against Virginia Tech, Stanford's Bryce Love and JJ Arcega-Whiteside look to outscore Qadree Ollison, Darren Hall and the Pittsburgh Panthers in the Sun Bowl and Justin Herbert and the Ducks faceoff against Kenny Willekes, Joe Bachie, Justin Layne and Michigan State in the Redbox Bowl.  Missouri's Drew Lock plays his final game against Oklahoma State in the Liberty Bowl, as does Clayton Thorson for Northwestern as they take on Utah in the Holdiay Bowl.  The Gator Bowl will feature explosive RB Trayveon Williams of Texas A&M and NC State's standout QB Ryan Finley in what should be a high-scoring affair.  Finally, January 1 brings us Montez Sweat and Jeffery Simmons and MississippI State against Noah Fant, TJ Hockenson and the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Outback Bowl; LSU's vaunted defense led by Devin White and Greedy Williams look to spoil another undefeated season from Central Florida in the Fiesta Bowl; and Kentucky All-Americans Josh Allen and Benny Snell lead the Wildcats into the Citrus Bowl against Trace McSorley, Amani Oruwariye and Penn State.

Don't worry, Gregg hasn't forgotten about the Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Cotton Bowl and Orange Bowl.  He will break down each of those prospects after the new year in preparation for the National Championship on January 7 in Levi's Stadium.
