BTN: Ranking the BIGs best 2014 defensive trios (MN #8: Cockran, Wilson, Thompson)

per BTN:

8. Minnesota: DE Theiren Cockran, LB Damien Wilson, S Cedric Thompson
Cockran, a 6-6, 250 pound junior, is one of the most underrated players in the Big Ten, regardless of position. He is an exceptional pass rusher, recording 7.5 sacks and leading the conference with four forced fumbles in 2013. Wilson, the Gophers’ senior middle linebacker, recorded 78 tackles last season and should be the leader of this defense. Thompson, a senior, will enter his third season as a starter in the Gophers’ secondary. He led the team in tackles with 79 last season.

Go Gophers!!

The BTN guys need to do some research on Eric Murray. I like Cedric Thompson but I'd definitely pick Murray over him and go with a trio of Cockran, Wilson, and Murray.

I do agree with the point about Murray.

What I like here is Junior, Senior, Senior. That has a nice ring to it. Much better than Freshman, Sophomore, Sophomore, or Sophomore, Freshman, Freshman.
