[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1034286, member: 10086"] Thanks [USER=13032]@Heyjoe4[/USER]. Last draft I took Kraft in Round 3 but it was more I thought he was our type. I really thought he’d get selected in that top 70 area. When we picked him for me it felt like our “safest” pick. He was a man among boys in FCS (and HS). Only ? Was would he adapt at this speed. He answered that ? Pretty quickly and decisively though. He didn’t look like a Rookie either. What’s I’ve been reading or watching in review is that many of these selections are either highly versatile or have an exceptionally defined role. If and I mean IF they use Hopper to his strengths? I think he’s an average starting LB by his Sophomore campaign. His bottom is McDuffie imo The other trait we went after were leaders or guys that overcame inspiring obstacles. High character and exceptional level desire and discipline. I think I also saw like 5 of these 10 players were team Captains ant shared that role in some capacity. The other played QB. It’s not odd to say Hopper was even a 5th (not you) but he’s a very teachable player that inspires his teammate. Being a servant to others is a key to success. I’ll never forget the story about Lombardi struggling as a HC early on for us. He then went to his best players and pulled a King Solomon. He asked them for their opinion (using Advisors) of what was working and not working? Once they felt Vince’s desire to go to any length (including lowering oneself to their level to be taught) to win? The Packers dominated the rest of the season and the rest is history. I never knew this until I watched old player interviews. [/QUOTE]
