Laskey.
I picked him because:
a. If we had redshirted him he'd be playing for us now.
b. He is the fastest BB to the mesh we've ever had and that takes advantage of quick-closing holes.
c. He is a great blocker and a good pass receiver.
Other picks are also defensible; I was hard pressed to pick Zach over Shaq or Smelter. But I think our biggest problem this year on O has been the lack of a BB who can "enforce" 4 - 6 ypc on the dive. With the talent we have now and only one choice of a player, I go with Zach since I think that even with our present OL he would be the BB we need. (Why not Days? Too slow to the mesh, hence vulnerable to blitzes.)
