So I think while size shouldn’t be the predominant factor when making picks, it should be a consideration. Makes sense now when you see the team take swings on huckins and whynot instead of going with safer (and smaller) picks. Hate seeing picks go unsigned but if this is the model they are pursuing, I can understand it better.
But Tampa won before them and they were much smaller, particularly their skilled players. Maybe emulate that model?
