I had a little trouble with where to put Switzer. I thought about having him as high as 7. Newby and Bower were two guys that almost made my list. I didn't like Newby as much as I thought I would based on his rating. He wasn't quite as fast and explosive as I though he'd be. He's very similar to Issah and since I had him on I couldnt justify having Newby also. What are your thoughts on McGlinchey? I like his upside with the strength program in place and Mac as the OLine coach. Could see him turn into a 6'9 325-335 pound, quality RT. Drennon was another guy I really wanted to add but didn't have room since I had Allen (my pipe dream of the early year) and Sickels already on the list.

I agree 100 percent about Foster.

But I have a good feeling about the kid. Especially if 1 and 2 on my list commit somewhat early.

"Just because you want one QB over the other... doesnt mean that you dont have any interest in the other though. "

Didnt say anything of the sort.

"Sure you would love Hack... but if he falls off of the board you're then taking a guy thats not on your list at all and replacing him as number one? "

I have 2 on mine big board list. If one commits, doesnt matter how much I like the other..he is coming off. I only want 1 QB in the class. If I had just Hack on my list, and he committed elsewhere, yes I would take a guy not on the board and put that QB immediately in the top 5. QB is a top 5(conservative) need this cycle regardless

"And are you saying if you like Hack you cant like Burns and are not allowed to have any interest in the guy at all and would not take him as well? (Yes, I know they wont be going to the same school.) "

Again, no. NOt seeing where you are coming up with this interpretation. You can have interest in 15 QB's. Pick a name for me, once that QB commits, he is all I want to be part of the class. I only want 1. Thought that was clear.

Ok I may have misinterpreted what you were saying.

When you said "I would definitely NOT have 2 QB's on my list" I misunderstood and figured you wouldnt have 2 on your big board list... and thats what I didnt get. Even though I would love to get Hack, its not like Burns is chopped meat by any stretch of the imagination.

And I agree that if Hack signs, you then drop Burns completely off. However until one of them signs, I didnt see a problem with initially putting two on the list, which I thought you were saying you couldnt see doing.

So yeah. I work third shift and that was toward the end of the night.

But yeah, I agree with all of that stuff then.

SWEET! Knocked #1 and #10 out! Let's keep it rolling!
