re: 2017 RMD: In The Books!

Team FibonacciSquared selects with its final two picks:

1) Cole Dubots, Linebacker - Washington State

At 6'1" and only 185, I envision a likely redshirt season for the very talented Dubots. Nearly every drop of his highlight film is as a running back (and a pretty talented one at that). He's been laser timed at 4.4 in the 40, and 10.44 in the 100M, so certainly not lacking for speed. Needs some time in the weight room to be able to make a difference on the defensive side of the ball IMO, but I think it's a when not an if. Another guy who had to deal with an early injury in his senior season missing about half of it and maybe hampered a bit throughout the games he was able to play in, which always puts a bit of a damper on the recruitment process. Should be a nice addition though to the "Speed D" that WSU is focused on these days.

2) Alec Jackson, Defensive Tackle/End - Auburn


Taking a flyer here... kind of surprised he was available after watching his film. Some of it is of course the classic "highlight" of an unblocked DE/DT just obliterating guys, which doesn't tell us much, but he's got some great film of getting disengaged from blocks, reacting well to handoffs/pitches... certainly looks like a guy that could do well at Auburn. His offer list doesn't match his ranking either, with nearly 30 in total and a ton from SEC and higher end programs from other conferences. If there's one position that Auburn has done a good job with recently (of course Garner couldn't do it at UGA with any consistency... asshat... not bitter or anything ) it's developing and showcasing DL talent. Alec projects to train primarily at DT at Auburn from what I've seen, but could easily see him contributing at multiple positions along their front. Might be tough to crack into the lineup in 2017, but starting 2018 seems like he could be part of a regular rotation for sure.

These 2 picks will now give my defense some flexibility as well to rock any combination of 3-4, 4-3, 4-2-5, or our base 3-3-5...
