I know some view the outbound transfers as dead to us but when I catch sight of somebody in another game I tend to root for them. If anything, I fully blame Stanford and its powers-that-be and former powers-that-be for not sustaining an environment that kept people in the fold. I hope in the future we don't have quite so many people doing significant things elsewhere. Anyway, a power ranking based on PFF with snaps parenthetically:
Drake Nugent - (362) - 79.9
Stephen Herron (308) - 75.5
Walter Rouse (374) - 71.4
Levani Damuni (187) - 69.7
Austin Jones (157) - 68.5
Nathaniel Peat (149) - 68.1
Aeneas DiCosmo (251) - 67.1
Jonathan McGill (351) - 66.8
Drake Metcalf - (172) - 65.4
Andres Fox (120) - 64.6
Jacob Mangum-Farrar (336) - 63.7
Myles Hinton (191) - 62.7
Nicolas Toomer - (159) - 60.6
Jake Hornibrook - (345) - 59.5
Colby Bowman (218) - 57.3
Bradley Archer (173) - 56.2
Barrett Miller (478) - 49.1
Ryan Sanborn - 67.4 as a punter
Houston Heimuli (37) - 87.8
Arlen Harris (3) - 59.5
Salim Turner-Muhammad has not played (injured)
This is ordered in terms of PFF grades, but quantity has a quality all its own so some guys like McGill and Mangum-Farrar could be higher for garnering that many snaps.
I think I remembered everybody but perhaps somebody can point out if I missed anyone.
While it's water under the bridge, obviously Nugent would be our best player (for the third year in a row) if he still played for us and Herron, Rouse, and Damuni would be huge additions to the team. I don't think it's lost on anybody what the Nugent and Rouse losses meant so while this is a visualization I'm not sure it tells us anything new. Thought folks might find it interesting though.
