Carlos Basham, Defensive End

Switching over to the defensive side of things, we come across Carlos, or “Boogie,” Basham. I just finished talking about how Utah and South Carolina are not known for their talent now we have a Wake Forest star on the brain.

Despite the relatively small university that he is playing for, Boogie is arguably the most sought-after talent on this list. Still, at the absolute earliest, he would probably be drafted late in the first round. Who has a pick late in the first round? The Pittsburgh Steelers, that’s who.

Basham would serve as nothing more than another obstacle for defenses all across the league to look out for. Imagining this man, preferably with some NFL experience under his belt, lining up with TJ Watt, Bud Dupree, and a monster defensive line is enough to make anyone brace for impact.
