That's a pretty good draft.

Kia Nurse... her brother plays professional hockey in the NFL..... Who knew??

Confused about her cousin? Donovan McNabb who played for the Eagles for years.

Confused about her cousin? Donovan McNabb who played for the Eagles for years.

I thought McNab was her Uncle. But she is definately confused somewhere

 

[MilfordHusky]

McNabb is Kia’s uncle via marriage.

Here’s some info on Darnell, who is a big dude.

Kia’s sister played hoops at Bowling Green and Oregon.

So he’s the NHL player. Not the NFL...so who’s the hockey player in the NFL

Sorry, missed the typo. I’m not aware of any hockey players in the NFL or football players in the NHL—though there have been some wrestlers in the NHL.

The last time Syracuse beat Uconn in 1996. The starting point guard for them was Kias Aunt, Donovans wife!

Wrestlers who played football.

Curly Culp was an NCAA wrestling champion at ASU and defensive tackle for the K.C. Chiefs in the 1960s and 1970s.

I wrestled when I was a kid in Oklahoma. My dad drove me to Stillwater to see an ASU vs. Okla. State wrestling match. OSU was a national wrestling power at that time. Curly outweighed the OSU heavyweight by around 100 lbs. and pinned him in about 15 seconds.

I'll make sure I don't mess with you.

Curly was wrestling when I was a student at Lehigh, which had a top-10 program at the time. Most of the great Lehigh wrestlers were under 170 lbs.

The Las Vegas franchise finished with the worst record in the league the last two seasons. They have needs across the board. New head coach ''trader Bill" Laimbeer knows what he's doing. He has the first pick in the next draft. I'd be shocked if he doesn't draft Wilson.

Yeah but they weren’t defensive tackles on Frank Kush’s PAC-8 Champion football team.

I agree that he should draft Wilson. It's debatable whether he "knows what he's doing". The Liberty didn't turn things around until he was bumped off his GM position.

 

[FanHam]

Gabby started 37 games in 2017-2018? Prescient indeed!

I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Curly was strong and quick. I always liked him.

Mike Caruso was no match for Curly, but he was one of the best ever at his size.

Michael J. Caruso, Lehigh '67

If Laimbeer can pick both Wilson and Gabby that will be just awesome.

That's interesting. Seattle might be interested in Plum. They have the #5 pick. I doubt Chicago wants or needs Plum. Las Vegas doesn't have great assets to trade.
