1.1 Shane 'Gator' Matthews CB Alabama-Birmingham - Negotiations with Matthews began early. He became the first DB to go 1.1 in IFL history days before the official start of the draft. Gator has everything you look for in a number 1 overall selection. Expecting major movement from his BnR bar.

1.14 Kurt Everitt LT Illinois - The first OL to be selected in the draft. Everitt is big and raw. I expect him to struggle quite a bit while he adjusts to the pro game. I'm not sure Everitt is quite as good as his current 74 potential. Should be a much better than average starting LT for 7+ years in Little Rock.

2.1 Gabe Patterson QB Nebraska - After May (1.2 Reno), the franchise QB I passed on, no other QB was selected in round 1. I decided Patterson was the best of the rest and jumped on him at the top of the 2nd. Needs a big camp and some movement in the AC & RD bars.

2.2 Quinn 'Mighty Quinn' Perry G Arizona - Sub 5.0 40 at OG is always a good thing. Another raw OL; Perry should develop into an outstanding run blocker.

2.4 Alan Riley NT Southern Miss. - My list ran out and I didn't want to reach this early. Not sure what I have here. Strong, agile DT with ideal size. Lacks endurance.

2.16 Donnie 'The Edge' Edmonds LB Louisiana St. - I'm always losing out on these types of players. Feels good to land one. Edmonds will make the switch to WLB in the 3-4. With Dustin Edwards on the roster there is no rush to get him on the field. The Edge has the potential to be a great pass rusher.

.... so for those playing the home version it ended up being QB May for LT Everitt, QB Patterson and OLB Edmonds. May is currently 23/86. Obviously, I don't think he's nearly that good.
3.4 Keith Keefe RB Syracuse - Keefe is a between the tackles runner with a little speed. Projects as a short yardage/change of pace type. Very volatile and my scout liked him so who knows.

3.17 T.J. Graff DE Appalachian St. - Similar to Riley except the utility made this pick. I wanted a speed rushing DE somewhere in the mid rounds so I don't hate this pick. Again no idea what I have. Desperately wanted James Tompkins who went one pick earlier to St Louis.

4.3 Levon Bullock WR Purdue - At this point I decide most of the guys I'm targeting in the late rounds are probably safe. Looking to go 2 for 3 in combine/bars/volatility for a few picks. Bullock brings good AD, GD, BPR and very volatile.

5.2 Devin Rutledge K Georgia Tech - Signed a K in FA after mine walked. Rutledge has a chance to be better than both. Good combine and good balanced bars.

6.1 Riddick Hutcheson RB California - Haven't had a RB who could help in the passing game since I've been here. Hutcheson was drafted for that singular purpose. Scout likes him. If he was a little lighter and faster I'd give him a look at wideout. Scout likes that idea too.
