I was wondering if Dan or anyone else had any insight to some of these guys?

Does size matter?
We discussed this one to death, but here is an interesting comparison of the Tampa Bay rookie camp and our own. I first noticed this trend when TB picked Nikita Alexeev among other giants a few years ago:

Height....Tampa Bay.......Montreal

6'6..........2......................0
6'5..........1......................0
6'4..........4......................3
6'3..........6......................4
6'2..........4......................3
6'1..........2......................4
6'0..........0......................4
5'11........0......................1
5'10........1......................0
5'9..........0......................2

Very few TB draftees under 6'2 and most are 6'3 and up.
Size isn't everything, and as a team we are getting bigger, but TB is going NFL. If you are looking for a few good men in the draft and you pick big men you have a better chance of getting a few good big men.

Hopefully they'll trip over their own feet.
