Given that the Big Ten runs better than it throws, scouts would argue that IEO would be more valuable to MSU than Dennard. That isn't to denigrate Dennard but merely to give the Duck his due. That sumbitch can play.
Admittedly, I don't know much about Ekpre-Olumu, but does he play press man coverage all game long? Dennard is put on an island all day and still locks down his man.
