Top 50 Position Breakdown:

QB:  3
RB:  4
WR:  6
TE:  3
OL:  8
DL:  12
LB:  5
CB:  4
S:  3
K: 1
P: 1

Right now I have no current players in the top 50.  There are a few who could enter it with a good year:
QB:  James Vanderberg
WR:  Keenan Davis
TE:  CJ Fiedorowicz
C: James Ferentz
OL:  Brandon Scherff
LB:  James Morris
LB:  Christian Kirksley
DB:  Micah Hyde
CB:  BJ Lowery

Top 50 Kirk Ferentz Era Iowa Hawkeyes: Honorable Mention

LB-Mike Klinkenborg
S-Sean Considine
OT-David Porter
OL: Dace Richardson
LB Grant Steen
LB Tyler Nielson
RB-Marcus Coker
LB Mike Humpal
DB Bradley Fletcher
C Rob Bruggerman
DE Broderick Binns
DT Mike Daniels
TE Brandon Myers
DT Jared Clauss
TE-Allen Reisner
WR/PR-Andy Brodell
OL Adam Gettis
OL-Brian Ferentz  
CB-Antwan Allen
LB-LeVar Woods
DT-Anthony Herron
OL-Julian Vandervelde
For me Klinkenborg and Considine were the toughest to leave out.  I was a huge fan of Klinkenborg who had a solid career.  He had to replace Abdul Hodge which was not an easy thing to do.  Sean Considine was another tough one to leave out.  To bad Dace Richardson had so many injuries as he could have been special.  Some people forget he was a first team All Big Ten in 2009.
