After committing $15M this year to resign RB Lang, then pilfering the entire West Virginia backfield in getting FB Meyer and RB Wolf for another $20M. The Wolfpack decided to once again to take an offensive lineman in the first round of the 2031 draft. After whiffing on a trade that would have brought WR Kenyon Ellard to the Wolfpack from London, the Wolfpack reached out to try to grab Levens by trading up in the draft to no avail. They even contacted Dakota to try and trade for WR Jumbo Walton. All left the Wolfpack without a #1 receiver yet again. But when Sean Sparrow fell to them at 1.20, they almost got their man. That's when a fight proceeded inside the war room. While Sparrow had some great upside, there was a lot of concerns about his hands that would equate to dropped balls. He scored below the threshold on his position drill and there was another fear of busting on a wide receiver, which has happened more often than not in the Arizona franchise. Instead, the Wolfpack turned toward one of the strongest players in the draft, and did extraordinarily at the combine. Wesley was sacked a little more than 2 times every game last year, and with a new commitment to the run, GM Argot finally made the call to select LT, Albert Brazell from Iowa to protect May's blindside and pave a roadway for Wolf and Lang.
