Who the hell did we just take? Why? Quality guys still there and we took a guy who couldn’t make the NFL before. First pick I hate. Who let Marty out? He loved those AAF guys last year instead of doing work on UDFA. 

Do a little research on him and you won’t post dumb poo like this.

2 yr player at WVU where he was a very good safety.  Got caught cheating academically.  Chose to go to the xfl to take care of his mom rather than transfer.  FYI...both Oklahoma and Alabama wanted Him as a transfer.

Couldn’t  sign as a FA out of the xfl because he hasn’t been out of HS long enough.

he wasn't eligible for NFL before... that's why he was just drafted... Wow.

He wasn't eligible for the NFL before, he had to leave school early (academic fraud) but was too young for the NFL.  So he went to the XFL for a (very short, as it turned out) year.

I can imagine part of the thinking here, although I don't know if it is actually what the front office has in mind.  According to PFF we had the 18th ranked O-Line, which isn't very good but isn't terrible (pretty much middle of the pack).  We had some guys underperform who might pick their play back up, but even if they don't we have a borderline adequate line.

 

On the other hand, our defense was bad.  Extra bad.  So you load up on defensive needs this year.  See who pans out and who isn't going to cut it.  Then you can focus on improving the offensive line next year and just grab a couple defensive players as needed depending on what holes we still see there after next season.

You know and I know our oline was complete and utter garbage last season.  I watched it with my own eyes for 16 games.  I dont give a poo what PFF says.  I suspect that number is inflated due to cmac but I will have to dive into the metrics later to see how they graded but come on there is no way anyone can argue we didnt have one of the worst lines in the league

I think there was a rule that the XFL free agents either had to be a certain age or had to have graduated high school some number of years ago, but he didn't qualify so he goes into the draft.

Thanks for the clarification. Very interesting situation. Guess this could be a decent pick after all
