159: R5P20 ILB BLAKE MARTINEZ STANFORD
169: R5P30 K ROBERTO AGUAYO FLORIDA STATE
195: R6P20 TE JERRELL ADAMS SOUTH CAROLINA
I got my desire in the first round, taking Jack Conklin but my trade down in the second blew up when the nine spot drop gobbled up everyone I was hoping to take at #31. The best guy left was SS Vonn Bell. Detroit offered a 4-for-1 trade down in the third that I couldn't say no too. It left me with 3 4ths, 4 5ths and 2 6ths. When I saw two good DT left to start the 5th round, I moved up to get one which turned out to be Ioannidis.
You'll notice I've taken Rashard Higgins several times for the WR. Part of it is the groupings of WR and he, like Austin Hooper, just shows up quite a bit where I want to pick his position.

Who were the players you wanted that were gobbled up in front of Vonn Bell?
I am pleased to see Conklin, Prosise, Ioannidis, Martinez, and Adams.
I was thinking about Higgins based upon his game film and his reception perception data. However the Combine measurables scared me away from believing that he translates to the NFL.
