As far as moving Watt to ILB, on draft night I asked that very question... because, he was listed as "linebacker" without the words "outside" or "inside." And, yes, I think Watt could indeed have made that switch.
CONNER:
What would have been interesting is if Kareem Hunt was still there when the Conner pick occurred. Supposedly, Hunt was high on their list. But, something tells me that Conner was their guy no matter what.
HARGRAVE:
There was an article written before he was drafted describing his "awesomeness" index. (I don't remember the exact name; so we shall call it "awesomeness".) It wasn't a sports cite, per se... more of a science site. Anyway, it basically said that Hargrave tested off if the charts. For the naysayers, it wasn't combine types of measurables; it was based off of analysis of game film. Once I read it, I dropped all other D-linemen from my list, and mocked him to the Steelers in R2.
