Refreshing to see the team put an emphasis on big schools.

Maybe it was just me but it seemed like we didn't value the level of competition as much in the past.

 

[Outlaw Heroes]

Surprisingly few from the SEC. Willy likes him some Big Ten.

We didn't. Then when those kids got here, it was all over.

Maybe he does so good cause he stays away from Alabama.

I guess that's what you get when you have an unqualified GM---instead of just listening to your scouts, you try to prove the world wrong that you are a good GM that finds talent in strange places. Trying to find the next Larry Allen over and over.

Unless a guy is a consensus stud (K Mack, Rothlisberger etc) I've always been a proponent of taking healthy, productive big school players...Especially early in the draft

It looks like Will likes guys that can play in any weather scenario.

That helps a lot when you have to go play in Pittsburgh late in the year like we did last year.
