Kyle Gilliam was the first player taken, AAW.

Just curious why a center was taken first?

You are correct. It was Gilliam.

I beleive 8 of the first 10 players taken were offensive linemen.

The gap between the top lineman and the "next set" is HUGE in most programs, but there usually isn't as wide of a gap in other positions.

Well another thing is JJ Hays wasn't the first WR taken at his position. We are strong there.

By the way, he wasn't too happy so I expect he'll have a chip on his shoulder and play great tomorrow.

Or he'll get frustrated trying to prove himself. He does have Bevil on his team, and AB has a narrow focus, so JJH should get plenty of opportunities.

The things about JJ Hays is how big he is for this level of college football for the WR position. He is 6-3, 215 and has good but not great speed. He does catch the ball with his hands instead of letting the ball get into his body.

We have a transfer from UH at CB, but I haven't looked to see what team he is on but all our DB or 6-0 and under.

Hays can out jump all of them for the ball which is why I was surprised he was taken as the first WR taken.
