Mike Greenberg: "Thank you, Mel Kiper, for the breakdown on the Dragons' most recent rookie pick. But now the suspense actually builds. Jack Ledger has done the most extraordinary thing: Guiding the Dragons to select 10-straight players from Iowa. When will the streak end? I speculated earlier that he would stop after 10. Guys, anyone want to make a prediction?"
Todd McShay: "On when the streak ends?"
Greenberg: "Yes! Let's get the predictions in quick, before Commissioner Gordon announces the next pick. At what pick do the Dragons take a player with NO Iowa ties at all? A player who has never played in Iowa? Todd McShay, why don't—"
Mike Mayock: "The next pick is in now."
Greenberg: "Oh!"
Commissioner James Gordon: "With the 11th selection of the 2025 NFL Expansion Draft, the Des Moines Dragons select … Herb Dallesandro, safety, Buffalo Bills."
Mayock: "From … the University of Iowa."
Greenberg: "11 picks! 11 picks from Iowa! I feel like, what was the name of that character from Sesame Street?"
McShay: "The Count?"
Greenberg: "The Count! Yes. Eleven! 11 picks from Iowa … ha, ha, ha!"
11. FS Herb Dallesandro, 6, 52/52
