Reasons for Each –

For Parrish – I have interviewed him and like him. That’s big. His bars are consistent.

Against Parrish - I get OGs all of the time later and it’s not uncommon to get them here at the back or the 1st or 2nd. Or even later. It’s the position of least need. Mota is 88 in run blocking pot and I don’t need the best OG in the world especially given my contract.

For LB Pauley – The MLB is a big need in a 4-3. This would be a big increase in value from 50/50 currently.

Against Pauley – I don’t need Pauley that much. I don’t need to be spending 1sts for LBs in a 4-3 when I have a better option, and I have studs elsewhere on the board I can snag.

For Hicks – DBs this good this good this late are rare. The OG and LB here isn’t that uncommon. Hicks is. Getting another stud in the defensive backfield could really shut things down.

Against Hicks – Will I be able to afford a nasty stud at each S? Am I just renting Hicks for a few years and then moving on? Isn’t this guy superfluous when I can start FS Davidson?

Hm…………………….

Parrish’s very underrated is valuable. Pauley’s bigger upgrade is valuable. Hicks’ rare studery this late is valuable….

Hicks, Pauley, or Parrish?

I do Hicks. It’s too rare not too. Without an interview it’s a gamble…but we lost on an As Scouted SS so I’ll take it.

2nd Round? Any starting talent left at OG, DT, or LB? It’s a reach, but the top OG is Russell Finch. Do I grab him? He’s a run blocking specialist which I like. I take him. Maybe he’ll boom like my LB did last year!

3rd Round? How about DT Jared Heard? Or LB Gabriel Miley? Or CB Omar McDonald? I do Heard. DT is a bigger need than LB. He looks like a grower.

4th round – The BAP is DE Dillon Becker but I don’t need DE, right? WR Enrique Ruth? I do Ruth.

5th Round – I need another D Back….who is the top one? Donald Sinclair is. I draft him.

6.26 – RB Marty Anderson?

7.27 – WLB Giovanni Huffman


Rookie Lookie #1


1.27 – S Roman Hicks, Davidsson; 32/73
2.26 – OG Russell Finch, Stanford; 33/55
3.27 – DT Jared Heard, Air Force; 33/42
4.26 – WR Enrique Ruth, Weber State; 29/42
5.27 – CB Donald Sinclair, Abilene Christian; 24/48
6.26 – RB Marty Anderson, Pittsburgh; 41/50
7.27 – WLB Giovanni Huffman, Stanford; 22/62

Not the best later part of the draft but I think it wasn’t as strong a draft as it could have been. In Hicks we Trust.
