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
