analytical aspect days decided draft free improve junior love market scouting team type year
I decided in my junior year that there was a market for this type of thing. I love the analytical and scouting aspect of it. Back in those days before full-fledged free agency, the draft was the only way a team could improve from one year to the next.
backs drop late nice pick running
Historically running backs drop and you can get some bargains. Gerald Riggs Jr. I think would be a nice pick very late in the draft.
perfect scheme type
I think that makes a lot of sense. For the type of scheme they play, he would be perfect for what they need.
