Some interesting developments:
Via Rexrode:
And with the first pick ... the White team picks Will Gholston at defensive end.
Before we get to the rest, let's keep the rules in mind. The seniors are split up into teams and they do the drafting. When a player is picked, the other team takes the next guy AT THAT POSITION. Then the other team takes the next guy, and so on, until that position group is exhausted. One thing to keep in mind here is that the earliest position groups tapped indicate more separation. The ones picked later usually have players that are closer to each other in ability.
So:
* First pick: Green (which has Anthony Rashad White, Chris McDonald, Dan Conroy, Mitchell White, Ethan Ruhland and is coached by Brad Salem) takes Will Gholston No. 1.
White (which has Larry Caper, Tyler Hoover, Steve Gardiner, Johnny Adams, Fou Fonoti, Arthur Ray Jr. and is coached by Terry Salem) then takes Marcus Rush.
Green takes Jeremy Gainer (surprise alert).
White takes Joel Heath.
Green takes Shilique Calhoun.
* Second pick: White goes middle linebacker and takes Max Bullough.
Green gets TyQuan Hammock.
* Third pick: Green goes guards/centers and takes Travis Jackson.
White takes Jack Allen (they need a center).
Green takes Blake Treadwell.
White takes Connor Kruse.
Green takes Donavon Clark.
White takes Nate Klatt.
Green takes Kyle Lints.
* Fourth pick: White gets into the offensive tackles and takes Dan France.
Green takes Skyler Burkland.
White takes Henry Conway.
Green takes Michael Dennis.
* Fifth pick: Green goes tight ends (thought this might happen earlier) and takes Dion Sims.
White takes Andrew Gleichert.
Green takes Denzel Drone.
White takes Derek Hoebing.
* Sixth pick: White goes outside linebackers and takes Denicos Allen.
Green takes Kyler Elsworth (surprise alert, though not a huge one considering how he played last season when he got a chance).
White takes Darien Harris.
Green takes Taiwan Jones.
White takes Ed Davis.
Green takes Danny Folino.
White takes Ty Hamilton.
* Seventh pick: Green goes cornerback and takes Trae Waynes.
White takes Mylan Hicks.
Green takes Arjen Colquhoun.
* Eighth pick: White goes safety and takes Isaiah Lewis.
Green takes Kurtis Drummond.
White takes RJ Williamson.
Green takes Jairus Jones.
White takes Kyle Artinian.
* Ninth pick: Green goes defensive tackle and takes James Kittredge, backing up the talk that he's the clear third guy inside right now.
White takes Brandon Clemons (interesting).
Green takes Matt Ramondo.
White takes Micajah Reynolds.
Green takes Matt Scarpinato.
* 10th pick: White goes fullback and takes Niko Palazeti (by the way, injured OLB Chris Norman announced all the of White team's picks and had nicknames for everyone, real and made up on the spot. He came up with Niko "The Hammer" Palazeti, and I think that has a chance of sticking).
Green takes Trevon Pendleton.
* 11th pick: We finally get to running back -- there was some thought that this might be high in the draft -- and Green takes Le'Veon Bell.
White takes Nick Hill.
This indicates less separation than some think -- but don't forget, MSU is probably going to limit Bell some in this game and the players know it.
* 12th pick: Finally, wide receiver, and perhaps the most interesting pick of the day. White takes Andre Sims Jr.
Green takes Jeremy Langford (another surprise).
White takes DeAnthony Arnett.
Green takes Keith Mumphery.
White takes Dana Dixon.
Green takes John Jakubik.
White takes AJ Troup.
Green takes Juwan Caesar.
White takes Kyle Kerrick.
Green takes Jordan Benton.
White takes Spencer Elliott.
Afterward, Samuel agreed that the Sims pick was a "no brainer," that he is making the most plays at the position during spring ball. Also, that Langford is catching on quickly. As for Arnett, he's still learning the offense, and Mumphery has been bothered by a nagging knee injury.
* We wrap it up with Green getting Mike Sadler and White getting Kevin Muma. Green gets Matt Giampapa to snap and White gets Steve Moore.
