The question I ask myself is if I was the head coach where I would I a lot the kid. I watch the video and make a decision. In most cases I get it right. But I didn't see Travon McMillian being a RB. Or D'Eriq King being a WR. I brought them both in as QB.

Part of the fun for me is too find hidden gems. Yeah you can stack 5 OTs but it doesn't give credit to your expertise or talent eye. You just threw a bunch of them and eventually got a hit.

One of my favorite success stories wasn't even my player. I remember when the dude grabbed Manziel late. Nobody scoffed. I try to get that Manziel story this time in the draft.

But bottom line. An OC/OG/OT are different skills sets and are still interchangeable. I just draft where I would put them. But as Jem said I try to stay as close to what sites have them as possible. Not just throw shite and see if it sticks

My last words on the Subject

1. I think projecting positions as whole is "throwing shite against the wall" not a skill.

2. I don't consider getting the position right as part of the game.

3. I think it's more realistic to get the 5 best OL as any coach would, than to take a lesser player because he projects at a certain position. If guard is a huge need in Alabama's next class Nick Saban still isn't turning down an elite OL who projects at Tackle for a lesser OL who projects at Guard. He's just moving the elite OL to guard

Not disagreeing with any point you made. Not sure where you are going?

We are all projecting positions and we truly don't know. Some are are clearly more obvious than others.

And play the game how you want. I enjoy it and do my own thing.

To each its own. If you feel good about your team and how you draft more power to you.

In round 22, Team FibonacciSquared selects Kemari Averett, Tight End - Louisville.

Deliberated for a while on this one... I think TE is a really light position this year, but couldn't bring myself to really fall in love with a 3rd WR this year either. So I kind of went hybrid here. Averett, is another massive human, at 6'7" and 215 lbs. Most of his highlights have him flexed out, so he's going to have to really buy in to the blocking aspect of being a TE at the next level, but he's the prototypical "basketball player" TE, that makes a great possession target but he fights for YAC as well. Petrino understands how to make use out of offensive weapons, and this guy is going to be one of them IMO. If he can put on like 15-20 pounds, it should be enough to help him be a force in the blocking game without sacrificing in the receiving arena.

Jem said I could go ahead and get my last guy, QB, and future Heisman Trophy winner out of the way in 6'-2" Malik Willis.

Kid is a Nick Marshall clone and we all know how well he carved up SEC defenses. He is a bit light right now at 188 lbs. but he can move and he can throw. He comes into a good situation at Auburn where he can sit for a couple years and learn the playbook. I am more excited about this kid than Stidham.

I pick Georgia Southern QB Jaalon Frazier. Slipped through the cracks as the QB of 2nd round pick Richard LeCounte but Georgia Southern stepped up late and its the perfect system for him. Of course keeping up with the theme he's also a starting forward on a state championship basketball team.

He's got great highlights too: LINK

QB - Jaalon Frazier, Georgia Southern
RB - Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin
WR - Jalen Reagor, TCU
WR - Ty Jones, Washington
WR - Noah Igbinoghene, Auburn
WR - Tyquez Hampton, Utah
OL - Micah Clark, Rutgers
OL - Tristan Wirfs, Iowa
OL - Wes Harris, TCU
OL - Pompey Coleman, Missouri
OL - Nick Ford, Utah

DL - AJ Epenesa, Iowa
DL - Anthony Payne, Kansas St
DL - Marqez Bimage, Texas
DL - Juan Harris, Indiana
LB - AJ Dillon, Boston College
LB - Garrett Wallow, TCU
LB - Ben Mason, Michigan
DB - Markquese Bell, Maryland
DB - Russ Yeast, Louisville
DB - Javelin Guidry, Utah
DB - Madison Cone, Wisconsin

Conference breakdown

Big 10 = 8
Big 12 = 5
Pac 12 = 4
ACC = 2
SEC = 2
Sun Belt = 1

I want to also say I thought TCU had the best recruiting class in the country

No where near as fast, as athletic as Marshall and not in the same universe as far as arm strength. A lot more polished as a QB though, I was surprised he stayed committed to VT so long.

OBUDan selects:

Orlando Umana, OL, Utah

Pictured here looking at the rest of your puny rosters. Umana is a mauler. His preferred DL position is flat on their backs. Got a real scorched earth opinion when it comes to defensive players. He'll probably be a 1st round pick because I'm a genius.

Brady Scott, Center, Florida State

listed at a Guard but ...

"The Florida State staff was very selective with the 2017 class a year after signing six offensive linemen.
Offensive line coach Rick Trickett admitted on Wednesday night that “it really wasn’t a great year for offensive linemen.” The one exception in his eyes was Brady Scott, who Trickett said is 6-foot-5 and 288 pounds and will begin his FSU career working at center."

I know what everyone else said, but I wanted to try and get a kid who was actually going to be used there like I did last year. just my pref

Much more defensive focused than I thought I would be going in. But I have a lot of guys who have high ceilings. My defensive backfield is criminally underrated by all of the recruiting sites. OL is a bit of a liability.

Jamyest Williams is going to be one to watch. It's either all going to come together and he's going to be brilliant, or he's going to struggle with consistently larger receivers (ie. IMG game). I tend to think the former... he's a lights out baller. I don't know if it will translate to NFL, but I think at the college level he should still excel.
Tre Brown very talented, going to have to fight hard to see the field though, as OU has recruited the CB position well. Dunno anything about your safeties, but I'll trust your opinion on an Auburn recruit at the least.
